Vale was right.
He found Celina at the corner of the Assembly Hall, smirking at him. He wasn't sure when she appeared, but she seemed really satisfied.
'Is she happy because she thinks I'll be her Shadow Knight in the future?'
Vale vaguely guessed as he already had an idea of how Celina thinks of herself. Perhaps, she was feeling happy that her "future" Personal Shadow Knight was capable of winning against the top students of his batch.
As for the item she had given to Neil, it was probably a test for him… or perhaps, she really wanted him to be defeated by Neil so he could see the value of the Vermont Family.
Vale shook his head to erase his random thoughts as he stared at Neil.
Aside from the familiar Protector Amulet he was carrying, he still had three other Mystical Items on his body, making him threatening under normal circumstances.
