Chapter 27: Prelude to the Academy Exams
Raelis strolled through the streets of the capital, his disguise ring active.
It didn’t take long for him to find a cheap inn to settle in. But despite its price, he knew this inn was one of the more trustworthy ones.
After all, this was another meeting point for the Black Lotus.

Blue Mask was the one who gave him the earring, so it was only natural that he used it to the best of his abilities.
After he finished settling into the room, he went downstairs and grabbed a quick snack. When he finally finished, he headed out toward the academy.
He still had plenty of time, but it was better to be early rather than late.

But once the actual exam began, he wouldn’t be able to predict the outcome.
Especially the next part of the exam...
