Chapter 27: So Now I’m Everyone’s Problem Solver? Part 1
"So. You saw a long monster crawling out the window."
I was sitting in Dean’s office. The sun dipped behind the horizon. A warm breeze rustled our hair.
"Yes, Professor. I have no evidence, but I’m not lying to you."
"Of course not, I believe you. You’re not one to waste time on such nonsense. Let me clarify something for you."
He crossed his legs, picked up the bestiary with one hand, and stroked his chin with the other.
"Just don’t tell anyone. This is already the third incident this year, and all the witnesses saw the same monster. There’s no denying it exists. It’s real."
"It’s been around the academy for a year? And you still can’t find it?"
"How can I put it..." he glanced at the crimson sunset. "It spoke to each student differently, as if it knew their fears by heart.
And although it never attacked anyone, each time... the students witnessed a strange force near it."
A line of magic flowed from his finger. He gestured, and I lowered my head.
WHOOSH...
"See? This is a memory from a student last week."
