Bab 340: 340 Breaking balance

[Lucy's POV: ]

-Step. Step.

With slow and careful steps, I walked up to the ground floor of the orphanage.

-Step.

And when I reached the ground, I felt something strange… and soon after that strange feeling, I felt something better, and familiar.

"Hmm? Oh, hey…"

I was standing in the hallway that we had seen countless times, however, unlike how I had gone down to the basement by myself, I was not alone as I stood in this corridor.

"Hey handsome."

"Hello Miss pretty lady…"

El was standing right beside me as if she had also climbed up from the basement with me. 

It was quite unique, but seeing from the objective perspective, if the two of us were together now, there was a good chance whatever the test was going to be… it would not be anything easy in any manner.

"Looks like things are going to be difficult."
