Bab 73: Lucky

⟨ The Arcana's power doesn't come for free. There's gotta be balance. Not the traditional kind of balance either, no yin and yang, peace and harmony crap. It's purely random. Chaos. And that's what a Curse is. It's something to make you think twice before becoming trigger-happy. And guess what? We, Mentors, are the ones who decide what Curse is gonna make your lives a living hell ⟩

Conrad listened intently as Devil explained, raising one finger like he was delivering a grand revelation. Then he slouched forward.
