Meanwhile, not too far away, a white-haired boy watched the crowd gathering around the human successor of his father.
Noah didn't care.
…Or rather, he thought he didn't care.
Still, for some reason, he just couldn't hold his curiosity and decided to activate his ability, the one that let him see through everything.
Katsuragami.
He had seen the threads around that boy behave strangely before at the time of the entrance examination but now, with his increased strength and new blessings… he wanted to try again.
The moment his vision landed on Rael, Noah's eyes widened.
Then blood began to drip down his cheeks as his vision became cloudy.
"…What is that?"
Before he could even process it, his entire body lost strength.
His legs buckled and vision spun.
He collapsed backward but instead of hitting the hard floor, something soft cushioned the back of his head.
A… pillow?
And why is the pillow so… warm?
He didn't have time to wonder.
A sharp slap cracked through the air.
