Chapter 92: Unbalanced [2]

Celestina watched quietly from the sidelines, observing Lumine in conversation with Yelena and Vergil.

Jasmine, on the other hand, seemed to be scolding Nol for reasons unknown.

She didn't join them.

She couldn't.

Her mind was stuck on Kanae's death.

Celestina hadn't known the cadet well, but they had spoken once, briefly, because of Azriel.

And now, Kanae had died under her leadership.

The weight of it crushed her, yet the circumstances made no sense.

'White eyes, blood leaking from her mouth, that smile… mind control?'

But how?

She hadn't noticed anything.

None of the instructors had.

Not even Jasmine.

Her gaze shifted to Benson and Alicia, the two instructors interrogating the cadets one by one.

Her brow furrowed as she glanced at Kanae's corpse, now concealed beneath a white cloth.

Quietly, Celestina stepped closer but stopped a few feet away.
