章節 298: Death Spells

"No, that's not possible, Aether," the Principal stated firmly, her face set in a stern expression. She had just listened to Aether's story, and her reaction was one of unwavering disbelief.

"What do you mean?" Aether's brow furrowed in confusion, he literally told her how he and Aria were almost killed by Alaric.

"According to the timeline of your attack.... Alaric was already here," the Principal began, her voice steady and calm, "We were engaged in a discussion with the Archpriestess at that time... and Hell, Alaric had arrived at the academy well before the incident occurred." Her gaze bore into Aether's.

"Seriously?" Aether's face contorted into an expression of disbelief and bewilderment. He couldn't fathom how this could be true.

"Yes," the Principal affirmed, her nod slow and deliberate. "You didn't see the attacker's face, did you?" she inquired

Aether hesitated, a lump forming in his throat.

He had to admit it.
