Students who mined late in the night are practically scarce.
Since Matilda and Kai would probably be the only ones heading out to mine at this moment, the grey-masked Angels would be suspicious of them easily. Even if they keep their distance, it would still be suspicious.
Frankly, Kai didn't believe the enforcers were going to do anything.
At least not until they found more concrete evidence that Matilda was helping him.
Kai is a Lesser Angel, and this will be his first time mining.
He would need to act like he was following Matilda in silence to learn the way to the assigned cultivated clouds, but he doesn't feel like acting it out. Moreover, it was still risky as the grey-masked Angels could simply interrogate them, which was a hassle.
Instead, he would avoid being detected using the Nigh-phantom.
Just like he normally did during the Blood Rite.
I should probably bring my weapon.
Kai was fretting whether he would bring his new black scimitar.
