From MC's perspective:
Lowell Castle,
Inside the study room, I couldn't help but furrow my eyebrows. I'm starting to feel greater pressure compared to my time in the outer post.
Earlier, I thought about this after coming here. My life would be easy. I had expected the competition to be severe. But I never expected the Teacher and Jonathan to think before they act.
Sigh!
"Too many forces are here in this region," I said with a sigh.
Outside,
Jonathan is confronting his Master's family elders.
Claire's face turned frosty. She didn't doubt his words. She thinks Lowell is doing this to purposely avoid meeting them.
She then spreads her consciousness all over the castle. If there is a trace of energy similar to or above her. She can sense it immediately.
Ollie's expression was not good-looking as well.
