Chapter 54: Right Right Right
Is there a possibility that the thief is right beside me?
Lu Yu's words sent Kafka into deep thought. Is there a possibility that the thief is right beside me?
Kafka quickly understood!
Hiss, yes! How did I not think of that earlier?!
Lu Yu's identity was what? A transcendent being from Divine Continent. He wouldn't speak without reason. In other words, Lu Yu was actually hinting at her?
Right, that's it. Kafka had indeed done some research on transcendent beings from Divine Continent. She had read several novels about them online just to understand Lu Yu better.
The novels mentioned that transcendent beings were different from ordinary people. They possessed immense power. In these novels, transcendent beings could sense things within a few kilometers of them without leaving their spot, using their divine sense.
Lu Yu was also a transcendent being. Although he might not reach the level of sensing several kilometers, he could probably scan the entire academy from his dormitory with ease.
So, what Lu Yu said was actually a hint for Kafka. This time, the thief who stole the lightning rod might be right beside her!
No, the novels about transcendent beings often portrayed them speaking cryptically. They loved to use riddles. She couldn't think about this from a normal perspective.
Beside me, beside me...
Kafka carefully pondered her own identity. She was the Head of the Logistics Department at Saint Freya Academy. When Lu Yu said "beside me," he probably didn't mean someone next to him; he meant people around him?
Yes, that must be it!
Recently, the only person around her had been Lu Yu. Lu Yu, being a transcendent being, wouldn't simply refer to himself. Therefore, his words likely referred to the people around her, which would include the staff and students of Saint Freya Academy?!
Kafka was a clever person. In an instant, she realized that Lu Yu was implying something. The world wasn't that coincidental. How could the lightning rod be stolen right before the surveillance malfunctioned? It was all premeditated!
It's likely that a student or staff member familiar with the academy's surveillance system stole the lightning rod. Then that person sabotaged the surveillance system, and used some method to make it appear as if lightning had struck. That's the truth.
Understanding the true meaning behind Lu Yu's words, Kafka's impatient expression slowly returned to normal.
Great! Lu Yu truly lived up to his identity as a transcendent being from Divine Continent, easily resolving her dilemma.
Kafka smiled at Lu Yu. This time, he had really helped her out. "I see, Lu Yu, you make a good point."
Lu Yu nodded. "Yeah, I think so too. That's why I said..."
"Therefore, I should immediately investigate the staff and students of the academy. Don't worry, I've understood your intention!"
Having grasped the idea, Kafka stood up from her office chair and walked out. Lu Yu had practically thrown the solution right at her. If she didn't know how to proceed now, what would be the difference between her and a fool?
Seeing Kafka spring into action, Lu Yu was mentally prepared.
Hmm, just as he expected. Kafka was indeed Kafka. She should have understood his intention. Her plan to investigate the staff and students was likely an attempt to save face for him. She was truly a kind and good-hearted woman. He wished he could bring her home.
Seeing that Kafka probably got his hint, Lu Yu decided not to hide anymore. Investigating others would be a hassle. It would be better to just expose himself directly: "Well... Director Kafka, then just go ahead and search my room."
Kafka: "Huh? Your room? You, someone who just arrived at Saint Freya Academy, know what?"
Although she spoke these words, there was a tinge of increased respect in Kafka's heart for Lu Yu.
Truly worthy of a transcendent being from Divine Continent. After providing guidance, the first thing he did was step forward and reveal himself. Even as a transcendent being, he showed no arrogance. He simply allowed his residence to be searched. Lu Yu was indeed a good person!
Enough, enough, no more wasting time. She needed to quickly apprehend the culprit. With this thought in mind, Kafka waved her hand at Lu Yu and swiftly left.
"Lu Yu, I need to get back to work. Thank you."
Leaving behind these words, Kafka hurriedly disappeared from Lu Yu's view, leaving him looking rather puzzled as he sat on the chair.
Lu Yu: Huh? Why does something feel off?
————————
Meanwhile, outside the door of a certain classroom, Fu Hua had a serious expression. Last night, she had sensed a powerful aura—a fleeting but incredibly strong aura.
Fu Hua's identity was an A-ranked Valkyrie sent by Otto to hide within Saint Freya Academy. In theory, she was already the strongest person at Saint Freya Academy. However, the thunderous aura she felt last night seemed no weaker than her own.
Since when did Saint Freya Academy gain such a powerful individual? Was it sent by Archbishop Otto? Or could it be an enemy?
"Class Press, Class Press?"
Seeing Fu Hua almost walk into a wall, Kiana quickly rushed to her side and grabbed her.
"Kiana? What's wrong?"
Being pulled back by Kiana, Fu Hua was momentarily puzzled.
"Class Press, are you okay? You were about to crash into the wall while walking."
"Ah? Is that so? Thank you, Kiana."
Fu Hua was briefly taken aback by Kiana's intervention.
"Class Press, is something bothering you?"
In Kiana's mind, Fu Hua had always been serious and disciplined. Today was the first time she had seen her like this.
Fu Hua was overly concerned about the aura she felt last night. The power of that lightning wasn't something an ordinary student could possess. Fu Hua knew everyone at Saint Freya Academy with considerable power, but none of them had the ability to control lightning.
"Uh, it's nothing. Maybe I just didn't get enough sleep. Oh, by the way... Kiana, you should take care of your sleep too. Speaking of which, I haven't been sleeping well lately."
Recalling that she had waited all night for the arrival of the newcomer, only to be disappointed, Kiana felt a bit down. Just the day before, she had witnessed Lu Yu saving her and a girl named Sirin in that alternate world. Kiana had hoped for a new beginning last night, but the person she was waiting for never came.
Kiana slowly returned to her seat. Once she sat down, she slumped over the desk like a tired fish.
"I wonder if Mei encountered that incident last night. Ah, I really wish I could experience it every day!"
