Zeph found himself lost in contemplation, trying to figure out how to handle Valeriana's situation without revealing Diana's identity.
He was worried that if he exposed Diana's gender, Valeriana might think poorly of him or worse declare him as pervert for acting like that in front of a girl.
He couldn't afford that,'Do I really have to deal with her later?'
He struggled to find a solution that wouldn't raise Valeriana's suspicions about his knowledge of her abilities.
"Zeph?, Alexios is asking something"
Just as he was deep in thought, Thalia's voice interrupted him, bringing him back to reality.
He noticed Alexios standing in front of him with a slight twitch on his face due to getting ingnored.
"Oh yes, what were you saying?"
Confused about Alexios's presence, as nothing like this was mentioned in the novel and also It was puzzling for him that Professor Adriannel had allowed a demon like Alexios into the academy.
