章節 2084: Secret

The next day, Emery set aside time for a personal coaching session. He summoned three acolytes—Dillion, Ha Ron, and the newly joined Kingrig—to gather in one of the private rooms within the hall, a departure from their usual outdoor training routine.

Their curiosity was piqued as Emery's serious expression hinted at the importance of the upcoming session. Addressing them with solemnity, Emery disclosed his intentions for the training, hinting at a personal secret known to few.

He then openly disclosed his intentions, presenting them with two options: either sign a [Soul Contract] to solemnly swear to keep the matter a secret, or allow him to probe their minds to confirm their true commitment.

Given the academy's security measures, Emery explained that this was the way to ensure their unwavering dedication to maintaining confidentiality. Such precautions were common practice in the other halls, serving as a necessary safeguard against leaks or breaches of trust.
