บท 2047: Interrogated

While all the instructors were engaged in their meeting, the atmosphere in the hall where the 66 acolytes were waiting was tense with anticipation.

Shinta found herself at odds with Annara, her aunt, who was scolding her for not consuming the full serum as instructed. Regret flooded Shinta's thoughts as she realized the impulsive nature of her actions. "I am sorry, Auntie... but don't worry, it works for the best," she muttered, hoping to placate Annara's anger.

Before she could further explain herself, a sudden interruption shattered the moment. A staff member, accompanied by several guards, approached Shinta with an air of authority.

"Shinta Ouroboros, please come with us."

Confusion mingled in her voice as she questioned, "Wait, what is this about?"

Despite her resistance, Shinta found herself unable to resist the firm grasp of the guards. They escorted her to a secluded room, devoid of any semblance of comfort or familiarity.
