098 – The Truth Cannot Be Buried #1
“Marmar, are you there?”
I tried knocking on Marmar’s door, but she didn’t seem to be at home.
She was probably busy.
What a pity. Well, I should get back to the Wish Hall, then.
Unfortunately, even though I knew the way, going there alone was a bit risky.
Hmm, should I wait in the park and see if Marmar would return?
━Kya-.
━Let’s go together-!
Sitting on a bench, I could see a pair of young lovebirds enjoying each other’s company. It was a common scene around here.
Like any other educational institution, Ark had a lot of campus couples.
Whoosh-.
Though, it did make me think of Elga and Mirna.
Ever since the day I took Mirna’s lips and got kicked out of Elga’s dorm, I hadn’t seen them once. Both of them must be really angry…
They didn’t come to class. Plus, no one answered me when I knocked on the dorm.

However, if it was difficult to deal with Elga and Mirna, then I had no idea on what to do with Aira or Professor Stella.
I didn’t even know where or what Stella Belhawk was doing.
Nowadays, she was not meeting the class.
And she seemed to be on the verge of being excommunicated from her own family.
Speaking of, maybe I should pay her a visit.
The 132 years old Professor Stella had been a student and professor in Ark for a total of 30 years. There was no questioning of her experience.
Like, what happened during the time when Reinhardt and Aleister still studied here?
Or when Saintess Priga Nightfall was still a student, which was the same time when my name, Theo Gospel, appeared.
Of course, there was no telling if she would even give me an answer…
On the other hand, I did have some things to try, so might as well. Thus, I turned around and headed to Professor Stella’s lab.
Knock-.
“Anyone there?”
I heard some rustling inside, but there was no reply.
“Professor Stella, are you there? It’s Theo.”
━Ah.
It was then that I heard a small voice coming from the inside.
━Are you alone?
“Yes, I’m alone.”
The door soon creaked open, before slender fingers suddenly dragged me into the room.
I thought I was getting abducted for a moment.
Professor Stella then poked her head out, scanning outside the lab.
“There’s no one… You’re really alone?”
“What’s going on!?”
Professor Stella was acting like some runaway thief. And instead of answering, she shut the door and locked it tight.
‘You’re locking the door?’
I couldn’t help but feel fidgety being in a room with a mature and beautiful woman like Professor Stella. So I asked again.
“What’s going on?”
“It’s nothing, just a lot of people visiting me as of late.”
“Who…, why?”
“The guys I brought in are causing trouble all over the campus!”
With this, everything finally made sense.
It was the Hunter Party. Well, I did hear that Professor Stella suggested bringing them here.
And as someone who recommended them, Professor Stella would naturally catch some heat if they caused trouble.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“So what brings you here, Theo? Did they send you to monitor me?”
Hearing this, that old rainbow robed mage came to mind. I shook my head in reply, it’d been awhile since the last time we met.
“No, I just want to ask the professor some questions.”
“Hmm, questions? Do you have any classes under me?”
“There are two, Training for Tamers and Exploring Fairies.”
“Ah, that’s true…”
Professor Stella looked out of touch. Now that I could see it, the lab that I painstakingly cleaned was once again cluttered.
There was even used underwear and stockings laying around… Was she living here?
Her hair was messy, her clothes were wrinkled, and her face looked muddy as if she had not washed it for a few days.
The shiny leather pants clinging to her legs were the only thing that was in good condition. Even her slippers looked worn out.
… Was this really the daughter of a great family?
Her current state was a far cry from Elga, Mirna and Aira. Also, was that alcohol I smell?
Had she been drinking?
“Well, I can come back later if you’re busy.”
“No, it’s fine. So what do you want to ask?”
“Like what the Professor said, I did some research on the Adventure Club. However, there is not much left of it. Someone seemed to have hidden or erased the records.”
“Adventure Club-.”
Stella’s chaotic aura calmed a little.
“Tell me what you know. I’ll only answer things appropriate to your current findings.”
