"I don't know her well."
The next day, confronted with the inquiry in the college's office, Eleazar replied very calmly.
The acolyte across the table raised an eyebrow at once.
"Oh, but that's not what your classmates say, that you spend all day together and act close, and that you've been seen going in and out of hotels, restaurants, stations, and other dating places together."
Eleazar craned his head, "When was that all?"
Seeing that he could still come up with an excuse, the acolyte flipped through the transcript carefully.
"Well, it was last year..."
"And then by this year, you were strangers and had no further contact?"
Eleazar clasped his hands together faintly, his gaze dropping to the glass of water in front of him, not answering that obvious result.
"Broke up? What a coincidence?"
The acolyte murmured, then lifted his head to gaze at the man before him.
Indeed, they don't know without checking, and once they do, they find that this boy is even more suspicious than the member of the Magic Pirates who has already evaporated.
"Eleazar-san, you took a whole month or so off, can you tell us what all you did?"
Seeing that this was all the other party had found out about his connection with the witch, he secretly sighed in relief before returning, "Visiting family, sweeping graves..."
Eleazar rambled on, "And then went on a trip out for a while to adjust his mindset."
The acolyte continued to ask questions:
"You seem to be interested in the occult? And for that reason have joined a society that specializes in such things?"
"Wondering about some of the history that hasn't been proven and trying to get sideways to get proof."
Realizing that his opponent had turned the tables on him, Eleazar slowly sat up straighter for good measure.
"You know Mr. Fintan well?"
"Knew his brother, Senior Finnian, a little better."
"Eleazar-san you have a good memory, there was a quarterly exam where the professor came up with a subject that had only been taught once and you were the only one in the entire age who got it right, and your performance on that last sport was outstanding, it's rare to see someone like you who excels in every field."
"Well, because I'm a genius!"
Eleazar clasps his hands coolly.
With this amazing brazenness, the other two acolytes couldn't help but look at each other.
The man sitting at the desk stood up and thoughtfully walked over to the window.
"I've seen a lot of students as good as you."
"But it is sadly often the case that the more one is in the light of day, the easier it is to run out of life's energy in the light instead."
As the white-gloved palm slowly pulled back the curtains, an unbelievably bright light was cast in, illuminating the desk in a vivid gleam.
The holy light is blinding!
After a few moments of stalemate, the Transcendental Activity finally slowly boils over, and seeing that he's about to start smoking, Eleazar raises his palms in a slight frown, shielding his eyes.
"The sun is blinding today!"
The silver ring on his ring finger quickly absorbed all of the holy light that was destroying the transcendental activity with all of its physical strength.
Extinguish Light Characterization is activated!
The expected screams didn't ring out, and the two acolytes looked at each other again in disbelief.
The person in front of them, but they were already 80% sure that it was a hidden Transcendent, but the other party was unresponsive in the holy light.
Slowly lowering the window again, the acolyte mused.
Holy light didn't come together on every occasion, there were several ways to circumvent holy light scrutiny on the Dark Path's side, and while this student didn't look like a high-ranking person who possessed those kinds of tactics either, they still didn't relax.
What if? What if the Shadow Council did have a brain fart and sent a high-level spy?
So the acolyte standing backhanded another glass of water.
"After talking for so long, classmate, why don't you have a drink of water first."
"Oh, thanks."
Eleazar reaches out to take the cup, his brow furrowing in a sudden frown, his palm erupting into a few veins before he quickly releases it.
These people, even after enduring the holy light review are still trying, could it be that they have exposed a lot of doubts?
Eleazar blew on his fingers and grumbled:
"The water is so hot..."
"Sorry sorry sorry~"
The man bent down to pick up the quilt and apologized, "The water in this room has just boiled, let me go next door and get you a cup of cool water."
"No, I'm not thirsty!"
"Wanted..."
The acolyte who had opened the door to the room smiled slightly.
Then just as Eleazar waited, somewhat uneasily, two cups of cool water were quickly served, one with the acolyte across from him.
And the water quality, too, was exactly as he had suspected.
They wanted him to drink holy water, these people are so vicious...
Knowing that he couldn't leave without finishing the cup, Eleazar could only smile a far-fetched thank you before picking up the cup in front of him and draining the holy water straight through with a 'gulp'.
The acolyte across from him narrowed his eyes and stared at him silently.
"I have class later, can I go back?"
Setting down his glass, Eleazar burped.
The acolyte stalled hard for a few more minutes, but the holy water still didn't respond much, and in the end, there was no more reason to let him go.
Behind the third-floor window, the two men watched the man's back.
"My intuition tells me that there's something wrong with this person, but how did he resist two Holy Light Invasions?"
The other acolyte said quietly, "His family situation will be sent over in a couple of days, so if there's a problem, then there must be something more to find out."
"Well, we'll clean him up then."
...
...
Sensing the two malevolent lines of sight behind him, Eleazar left the office building with his scalp tingling.
Absentmindedly finishing the lesson, he quickly found Fina after class.
"The Witch is now a wanted man and can't show her face at all anymore, and I'm on the suspect list, so if even you get scrutinized someday, we'll pretty much have to think about leaving the country."
Fina sighed slightly as if lamenting the fact that she hadn't finished her studies yet.
"So have you thought about which place to go?"
"Rune it..."
"It's a very remote and primitive place, as there are no stable routes to reach it safely, have you found a way to get to that place yet?"
"Well, I can contact the druid."
Hearing that he'd already worked out his retreat, Fina nodded.
"Come on then, let's go back together and check on that guy."
Then they made a big circle to the Hundred Fruit Garden, defending themselves against the trail all the way.
I'm afraid the residents here can't imagine that a wanted man has taken up residence next to them.
"Honey, you're home!!!"
Evelina, who had been smothering her little face in the house, heard a familiar commotion coming from outside and immediately went to the foyer to greet it with joy.
"Welcome home, do you want to eat or take a bath or eat me first~"
Stepping through the door Fina twisted her head faintly and glanced at Witcher, who was filled with embarrassment.
