Bab 281: Fearful Spy

The researchers and assistants in the Orichalcum laboratory had been on edge for a few days. Headmaster Orllan suddenly showed up out of the blue with three extra guests. At least two of them were human, but the third seemed to be some sort of mixed blood.

"Hey, Silis, what are you doing?"

One of the other research assistants noticed that Silis was moving samples from one lab to another. Since he was usually doing jobs like this, no one thought his behavior was strange.

"Oh. I am just moving these samples to Hall C for Professor Itone. Did you need something?" Silis asked.
