Chapter 144:Exploration [5]
How could he have known the market was going to be in this town at this time?
Why would he randomly carry that black identification card with him?
There was no way he held that on his body every time he went out, right?
Turning back, Zeke simply shrugged his shoulders and answered.
"I was planning to stay here and go when everyone went back through the gate by paying some Worldly student to take my place."
Only because of his status could he do something like that.
If I went missing on the mountain, the Glaive academy would immediatly assume I played a part in the portal incident from earlier.
But no one would suspect Zeke because of his father.
Clutching the pouch of golden coins I had received from Glaive for winning the mana gathering competition, I followed after Zeke as the door swung open.
As he leaned down to pick up his black identification card, a man dressed in full black with a beak helmet covering his face, like that of plague doctors during the black death, appeared.
Alternating gazing between him and me, the figure eventually nodded his head before stretching out his hands and revealing two masks within his palms.
