"I've never seen a demon in my life," she admitted. "I've stayed cooped up within the Royal Capital for pretty much my entire life."
I nodded. It was frustrating that she couldn't be 100% certain, but the information she had just given me was extremely useful. I was now sure that someone inside the Royal Academy was coming after me, and the chances of them being a demon were extremely high based on everything she had just told me.
Derek was obviously the number one suspect in my mind, but I couldn't tunnel vision solely on him since other teachers also disliked me due to the rumors he spread.
"I see." I rubbed my chin.
"Do you think it was a demon?" She looked at me while gripping the table tightly. It seemed she was trying to contain her reactions, not wanting to look too worried.
I didn't want her to scare herself and start spreading rumors, so I kept a straight face and raised my shoulders. "Might be. I can't be sure just yet."
