Reincarnated As The Villainess's Best Friend

I lay awake the entire night, the words of the note replaying in my head.

’You’re not supposed to be here.’

I had read it ten times over, trying to figure out who sent it.

The handwriting was in elegant cursive but the ink was partly smudged, which meant that whoever wrote it was of noble descent, but also wrote it in a hurry.

But the note had no signature, no initials, not even a house crest. Nothing to make it a credible threat, which somehow made it even worse.

However, the fact remained that whoever slid it under my door, knew exactly where my room was, and that meant they had been watching me for a while.

That narrowed the list of suspects to... almost everyone in this school.

With magic, I could have easily cast a trace spell to pinpoint exactly who it was. But without it, I was just a target waiting to be shot.

So, I had to stay awake until my stalker decided to show their face.
