Chapter 577: Revelation of Darkness

Lyle was brought by the Bandage Man to the edge of the party venue, where Mr. Dark glared at several Liches who intended to approach and chat, intimidating them into staying away. Thanks to his reputation as a mad dog at Andrei Academy, the prestige of the Literary Society, and the obscure connections behind it, no Liches momentarily felt that angering him was a worthwhile risk.

The two shadowy figures had the chance to be alone; Lyle was still engulfed in the shadow of his prior shame. In front of all the notables of the academy, he flawlessly integrated into the Literary Society. The thought of having to preside over the academic assembly later, under the watchful eyes of many, made Lyle feel as if his body would split apart, his dignity shattered to pieces.

Looking resentfully at Mr. Dark, who was standing in front of him, Lyle wondered if the bandage was akin to Mr. Dark's face, to be discarded at will.
