Solomon and Ranni might have tried to hide it, but Azriel was no fool.
In fact, they weren't even trying to hide it—not really—with their expressions practically screaming the truth.
...Someone had deliberately tampered with the mana collar.
Someone had tried to kill Azriel, knowing Solomon would throw the grade-three demon at him. They'd messed with the collar to the point that, if it sustained a certain amount of damage, it would break.
In short, it was a miserable assassination attempt.
Though "miserable" didn't mean it wasn't serious.
Especially now, with Azriel already being hunted by the underground world, he doubted this was just a coincidence.
The fact that it happened within the walls of the Hero Academy made his mood even darker.
The Hero Academy was no joke.
