"Well you see, Allura is facing a problem inside the castle, so we ar-"
Suddenly, Nux paused in between his words and a frown appeared on his face.
Thyra, who was the most perceptive of the changes in Nux's expression quickly understood what happened, and to confirm her theory, she activated [Sense].
Felberta and the others followed behind and soon, Ember did the same as well.
Evane, however, was lost.
She didn't know what happened.
Everything was going fine, Nux was about to reveal his plan to her, however, suddenly, he paused, his expression changed, and a second later, the expressions of everyone present inside that room changed as well.
She felt left out again.
'Use [Sense]'
However, suddenly, Evane heard Skyla's voice in her head, she looked in her direction and saw her winking at her with a smile on her face.
A smile appeared on Evane's face as well.
Then, she used her instincts to activate [Sense] and,
"!!!"
Her eyes widened in surprise.
She could see everything around her!
She could even see what was happening behind her, in front of her, above her, below her, she could see everything. Not only that, but she could even see outside the room even though she was inside the room right now.
'Focus on Sister Arvina's office,'
Then, Evane heard Skyla's voice again.
'Alright.'
She nodded, then, she focused on Arvina's office.
She was surprised to see how easily she could peek into her office, however, soon, she stopped thinking about this useless stuff when she noticed the presence of that bald man standing inside Arvina's office.
'The Headmaster…'
She now realized why everyone's expression changed.
This man shouldn't be here right now.
And as if he had the same thoughts, Nux spoke out loud.
"Everyone, use [Conceal], hide your presence, I would go and see what is happening."
"Alright."
His women nodded and used [Conceal] to hide their presence, Evane did the same as well.
Nux smiled and then, he turned around and left the room.
A few seconds later, he was standing outside Arvina's office.
"What is it?"
Arvina questioned.
"Vice Headmaster Arvina, I believe you should know that guests aren't allowed here in the Academy."
The Headmaster started without wasting much time.
"Guest? What are you talking about?"
A frown appeared on Arvina's face as she questioned.
Seeing her expression, it actually looked like she didn't know what the Headmaster was talking about.
Her reaction was pretty believable,
However,
"Oh C'mon, Arvina, do you really think that you would allow someone to stay inside your mansion and your servants won't know about this?"
Arvina's eyes turned cold when she heard the Headmaster's words.
"Don't make that face.
You didn't really think that the servants working inside the Royal Academy would go against the Headmaster of the Academy and hide things from him, did you?
It is not their fault, their livelihood is at stake here."
"…"
Arvina turned silent.
"Arvina, you have been here for many years and we have a good relationship with each other, that is the only reason why I am willing to ignore this.
However, keep in mind, that guest of yours, I don't care whoever he or she is, I want him or her to leave, by tomorrow.
If I learn that he or she is still here even after my warning, then I would have to take action personally, are my words clear?"
"…"
Arvina didn't reply.
"Vice Headmaster Arvina, are my words clear?"
"Yes, they are, Headmaster."
Arvina finally replied.
"Good."
The Headmaster smiled and then, he turned around.
Nux, who was hearing everything from outside, clenched his fist and a cold expression appeared on his face.
The doors of the office opened, and the headmaster walked right passed him without being able to see him, Nux completely ignored the man, deactivated his [Conceal], and entered the office.
"What you doing here?"
Arvina, whose eyes fell on Nux questioned with a mildly surprised look on her face. Then, however, she shook her head,
"No, actually, that isn't really important. Since you are here, you must have heard the Headmaster's words, correct?"
"Yes, I have."
Nux nodded.
"Then you know what you have to do."
"Teacher Arvina, I need your help."
Nux spoke.
"I can't really help you, Nux. That Baldy is unusually strict on this matter."
"I need a Base of Operations."
"Huh?"
Arvina frowned.
"Base of Operations, why do you need that?"
"The world is going to change soon, Teacher Arvina, and I need a place where I and my loved ones can stay safely, hidden from all the people, and at the same time, also keep an eye on the situation and the changes that are happening around us."
"The World is changing, what do you mean?"
Arvina frowned.
"I mean exactly what I said, Teacher Arvina. I believe that we will see a big, world-shaking event soon.
And I am not saying that on the basis of stupid productions, I have my reasons to say what I am saying.
I have been to war and I have seen it,
The Emperor Stage Cultivator of the Solid Earth Kingdom is making his move without caring about the Treaty.
The Dynast of the Woods Dynasty is a fool.
According to my sources, the Skadi Kingdom's movements are strange as well.
The only Kingdom that does not seem to be doing anything strange things is ours, the Skyfall Kingdom. Which itself is a little suspicious because, in the end, we are the strongest out of the four nations.
There has to be something that our Kingdom is doing, we just don't know it.
4 Strongest Nations, making strange, unpredictable moves, do you really think nothing is going on?"
Nux questioned and Arvina turned silent.
"…"
Nux's words were logical, just the fact that the Emperor is moving is enough for the people to be on alert. The rest of the things were concerning as well.
"This Base of Operation, do you have any place in your mind?"
Arvina questioned.
"I do have a place in my mind."
