Chapter 25: The Moon at Dusk
Theron returned to his abode.
The fatigue that had been on his brows moments before vanished, leaving him breathing evenly as though he hadn't just gone through a rigorous workout.
They had really put them through the paces. But compared to his training as an assassin, it was little more than a joke.
Right now, he had more pressing matters to deal with.
How should he handle the next few years? Should he transfer Imperial Academies? But how would he handle the Assassin's Guild situation if he did so?
Should he even bother still killing Yonowai considering the danger? He had originally only wanted to use this as a method to relieve himself of some pressure and gather more information.
What he didn't expect was for Teacher Burne to have such a mask-off moment today.
Of course, it was incredibly subtle, and most didn't even understand what they had heard. But the fact Theron understood was enough.
Spirit Mancers were incredibly sensitive to the changes in others' emotions. Theron might be good at hiding his intentions, but there was a reason Burne kept looking at him. His control wasn't to the point where he could hide from a Gold Mancer.
