It is with a sad tone that the academy announces the death of Enna Harker, one of the instructors of the academy.

Most probable cause of death, according to autopsy: Suicide through poisoning.

The poison also led to probable destruction of her universe energy pathways as no universe energy residues were detected in her system.

Reason: No assailants found for cause of death, no force used, no weapons used, no signs of struggle. No registered use of affinities. No known assailants on video recording.

The academy social media handles erupted into an uproar.

Just some time ago, unknown pictures had been anonymously uploaded on the social media handles of the academy concerning the tragic end of Vesper Locke.

The commotion concerning that was yet to die down and suddenly, news concerning the death of an academy instructor starts to flood the social media handles again?

Just what in the world was going on?

Speculations started flying around about the possible cause of the death, but the autopsy results were undeniable — Enna Harker had committed suicide with some sort of unimaginably lethal poison that went as far as destroying her universe energy pathways.

What kind of demons was she battling to go as far as committing suicide in such a gruesome manner?

Was it really suicide?

But if it wasn't, who could evade the scrutiny of the academy and murder someone, especially an instructor, and leave no traces behind?

Deaths in the academy were common. But they occurred in life or death arenas, during missions, or in the daunting regions of the academy where death was considered accidental — murder or not.

However, it was a whole different scenario when it happened on actual campus grounds, and the platform was not life or death battles or through the society wars.

Only the leaders of the Sword Tribunal Society had an extremely high index of suspicion concerning who did this, although Kailen didn't openly admit it.

Kailen was currently seated in the lounge of the society with them.

Some pop music was playing in the background and the atmosphere was quite lively.

"It was you, right?" Pan Halfoy said with a tired expression as he gave Kailen a knowing glance.

Pan had bags under his eyes at the moment, and an extremely worn-out expression on his face. He had finally managed to create a software that could automatically intercept anyone trying to trace the source of the anonymous account's IP address, after staying up for several days.

Coupled with the constant training with Kailen to make alchemical products, he was extremely tired.

Everyone stared at Kailen after Pan's question, waiting for him to admit the terrifying possibility, but he simply shrugged.

"What do you think?"

Miranda rolled her eyes and drew closer to him. She was just a hair's breadth from her lips colliding with Kailen's.

In fact, Kailen could literally feel the first-ranked beauty of the first year's breath on his face.

The beautiful lady's bold move caused everyone in the lounge to suddenly open their eyes in surprise.

"Mr. President, are you single? Can we go out?"

Kailen merely chuckled at her blatant way of asking him out.

He knew she was being sincere here. But he was a faithful man.

"It really feels nice to be asked out by such a beautiful lady such as yourself, Miranda, but I'm engaged."

Miranda retreated quickly with a disappointed sigh on her face.

'It's such a pity. He's my dream man.'

She thought inwardly. Whoever landed him must be very fortunate.

However, she didn't feel awkward. Kailen was considerate enough to reject her in a way that didn't make her feel bad.

She appreciated that.

No one decided to dwell on the fact that Kailen was engaged as it was something personal.

But Lian Yu brought up the question Pan had just asked again.

"Seriously, how did you pull it off?"

Kailen made an innocent expression. "I don't know what you are talking about, my good sire."

"Forget it, guys, he's not going to openly admit it. But we all know he's the one behind it," Esimo said, putting his arms around Everlong's shoulders subconsciously without even realizing it. "You all remember the message he said to pass on to you before he embarked on the mission with Vesper Locke, right?"

The group was focusing on what he was saying, so no one found what he did as strange — except Kailen.

He noticed the slight blush on Everlong's cheek when Esimo placed his hands around her shoulder.

"Interesting. I was wondering why he started shrinking his physique to that of an elven or human height. Turns out this is the reason. These two childhood friends finally decided to pop the cherry," Kailen mused inwardly.

"Yep, we remember. He said that there was another person he intended to get rid of and we should wait for a surprise or something," Anaya added.

Everyone stared at Kailen with complicated expressions on their faces.

This guy was extremely terrifying.

And he even destroyed her universe energy pathways?

Where did he get his hands on such a poison?

How was he able to evade academy scrutiny?

What did he do to make it look like suicide?

How was he even able to kill a rank 1 beginner stage galactic level lifeform in the first place?

There was a complete rank between them.

Miranda stared at Kailen with her eyes sparkling with curiosity, amusement, and melancholy.

What kind of person was this Kailen? Why was he always doing terrifying things?

Also, why did he smell so good? As a werewolf, her sense of smell was extremely over the bar.

Everyone had this kind of unique smell on them. But Kailen was the first person she had met with the most unique smell ever.

Not only that, he had all the traits she needed in a man in addition. It was the first time she had encountered a man that pulled her heartstrings.

One that ticked all her boxes. But he was taken!

Sigh!

Also, from the way he rejected her, he wouldn't entertain a harem! She thought.

Life was really unfair. You finally found someone perfect for you and they already belong to someone else!

Sigh!

She smiled, but Kailen could notice that beneath that exterior, she was not handling his rejection well.

Not that he cared though — that was not of a concern to him.

No woman could ever replace Arrie, not for anything. And no one could ever be an addition to her. She was more than enough for him.

During this moment of silent stares of six pairs of eyes at Kailen, something occurred to Pan Halfoy.

During their time crafting alchemical products together, Kailen mentioned that he was crafting some alchemical products alone.

Pan said he wanted to learn how to craft them and Kailen didn't object. However, no matter how much Pan tried, he couldn't. The process was just too complex and elusive.

He simply gave up on his own.

When he asked Kailen what kind of products they were, Kailen told him it was a surprise and he would find out soon.

But now that Pan thought of it, if the absurdly terrifying possibility he was thinking of at the moment was true, then although the aspect of Kailen evading academy scrutiny was still a mystery, it was understandable that Kailen was able to pull it off.

Was Kailen a Black Flask?

Pan finally broke the silence.

"Kailen, are you a Black Flask?"

Everyone's eyes widened in shock at Pan Halfoy's question.
