The next morning, dawn broke.
Lucas University was shrouded in a strange atmosphere; students were attending classes as usual, but there was a sense of heaviness within the school.
Nilo—he was to bring people to Lucas University today, but it wasn't known when they would arrive.
The library opened, and students arriving found Xu Mo absent. Upon asking the librarian, they learned that Xu Mo had taken a day off, allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief. With him on leave, Nilo would be unable to find Xu Mo.
Xu Mo had gone early to the castle where Elizabeth lived, and Elizabeth had risen early as well.
After arriving at the castle, Xu Mo changed into armor, donning the same gear as Elizabeth's guards. Once finished, Xu Mo emerged and discovered to his surprise that Elizabeth was outside, seemingly attempting to sneak a peek.
This left Xu Mo feeling contemplative, having not expected Elizabeth to be such a person.
