"I came to investigate, Teacher Lan mentioned the legend of the Seven Horrors. So i came here to investigate."
"The Seven Horrors of the Academy?" Maris echoed, her brow furrowing in confusion.
Lucan nodded. "It's an old legend. Supposedly, there are seven supernatural phenomena that haunt this academy. They've been sealed away for years, but if they're released... well, you saw what could happen."
Upon hearing Lucan's explanation, Maris looked unusually angry.
"Could it be... that you were planning to investigate the Seven Horrors of the Academy all by yourself, Lucan-sama?"
"Uh... y-yes?"
Maris, who usually wore a gentle, maternal smile, now had a powerful presence when she was angry. Her well-defined features made her sternness even more intense.
She wasn't raising her voice or distorting her face. Just a slight frown and the deepening of her gaze were enough to convey her disapproval.
