"Captain. You…"
"A new member?"
"The only one who was invited by the captain was…" They couldn't help but turn to the woman.
"It was me." She nodded while putting down her pipe. "To think that you would bring him here as a new member. It's quite surprising, Evelyn. Is it because of his master?"
"Not really. If I have to say the reason…" Evelyn turned to the assassin. "It's because Sonia almost died in his hands."
"Almost died? What? Is he that strong? But isn't he only a first-year student? Even if he is strong, he shouldn't be enough to harm Sonia."
"That's right. He can't do anything to me," Sonia protested.
Evelyn simply glanced at her friend. "Bella. Clean her up."
"Hmm?" Isabella tilted her head in confusion, but she soon inhaled her pipe before blowing it all out. The smoke expanded and moved like it was alive, enveloping Sonia.
