New options

  "... is just that..."

  Jared gazed into Kula's eyes and smoothly concluded his final instructions.

  But even so, Kula was a little confused.

  "Brother Jared, is it true what you said? But Kula still can't understand, what you said ..."

  "This is the truth, and this is the truth."

  Jared smiled bitterly, wondering why he thought it was such a good idea to tell Kura the truth. It was a bit strange for Jared, and although Caroline was a bit resistant beforehand, she didn't seem to have any worries when it came to the actual explanation. Perhaps because of the different civilization systems of the two worlds, the terms they used were completely unheard of to Kura, and had never appeared in this world before, so it was no wonder that Kura was puzzled. In order to avoid being overheard, the explanation was basically done by Caroline through thought communication, after all, this could be considered a life and death gamble for them, no matter how careful it should be.

  "Well, it's incomprehensible, but Kura knows."

  Kura nodded dazedly, just by looking at her she looked as if she was about to fall asleep or had just gotten up ... Either way it definitely wasn't going to be easy.

  (Kula, I'd like you to help us keep this a secret, please.)

  Before Caroline could finish her sentence, Kura's eyes suddenly widened and gazed intently at her, causing Caroline's expression to suddenly turn much more panicked.

  "Caroline-san, you can't do such things. Kura forgave you this time because you're a friend, right? But if you do it again, Kura will be angry."

  (... really sorry...)

  Jared's expression changed slightly. Although he didn't know, he could easily guess what Caroline was trying to do. She was trying to "hint" to Kura to keep her secret, but Kura recognized it? She was able to recognize Caroline's "hint"? Jared quickly realized that things were starting to get worse, and even though he knew that Kura wasn't just any little girl, it was a little too weird that it had to come to this.

  "You can't blame Caroline, Kula."

  So he spoke out hastily .

  "After all ... you also know, in case others know about this, at that time ..."

  "The ability to revitalize the Forest of the Dead and give life to the technique is indeed rare ... It's only natural that it will be watched. I am also interested in the reason, as long as we know exactly what happened, if there is no question, then there is no problem?" Kura's expression turned a bit unpleasant as she said that." But, Caroline-san did this to Kura right from the start, she didn't trust Kura at all, so Kura was very angry!"

  (... Sorry, Kula...)

  Caroline looked embarrassed, after all, even she thought that the technique of "hinting" should not be detected, and because of the overall situation, she used this extraordinary means from the very beginning. Now that Kula had caught her in the act, she was speechless with shame. In fact, Caroline couldn't blame her, after all, in all the years she'd been using Suggestion, it had never been detected by anyone.

  "..."

  Kula gazes at Caroline, then staggers over to Caroline.

  "Touch Kula's head and Kula will forgive you?"

  (This ... like this?)

  Caroline reached out and tenderly stroked Kura's silky hair, while Kura squinted as if she were a teased kitten.

  "Well ..."

  She made a lazy kitten-like purr.

  "Caroline-san is very gentle. She's a good person. So Kura forgave you? But don't worry Caroline-san, Kura is not interested in this at all, because she doesn't understand it at all."

  "You mean, you won't try to analyze it?"

  It puzzled Jared that although Kura was a maverick in her own right, her uniqueness went beyond what words could describe. Kura tilted her head at Jared's question and gave him a look that was quite natural.

  "Of course it is, right? Since Kura can't understand what my brother and sister are talking about, she won't try to pursue it. If you try to master something you can't, you'll only end up destroying it, right? Kura understands that, doesn't she?"

  That answer surprised both Jared and Caroline a little.

  They had thought that curiosity would lead a person to explore the mysteries of the unknown forever, but they were surprised to learn that there was another person like Kura, who was able to remain so alert and rational in the face of the unknown, and had the ability to control himself. Although they were not the type to trust others easily, they thought that Kura had not lied to them. They had heard someone say something similar in their old world.

  "Science and magic? Only an idiot would try to explain one with the other. Magic is magic, science is science, it's normal to keep the two separate. To try to use the theories of one to explain the existence of the other is just plain stupid. Anyone who tries to do that is either a crazy person with a donkey's ass or a punk with just greed. The result of wanting everything is that you can't get anything, so it's better to immerse yourself in one of the sides, and at the same time knock your opponent to the ground, that's what a smart person should do. Trying to understand is in itself an error in judgment, and in the end you won't even know how you died."

  It's a perfect resemblance.

  Jared and Caroline looked at each other, both seeing in the other's eyes what they were thinking.

  And just then, the door opened.

  Kelly approached them with a slight frown and a whine.

  "Jared? Ms. Caroline? Why don't you guys talk to Tawana too, I don't know what's wrong with her that she wants to learn necromancy? Ah..."

  Kelly's complaint did not finish, because at this moment the two people who heard her have turned around, at the same time will be originally blocked by them did not show the body of Kula revealed in front of Kelly. This made Kylie's face turn very ugly in an instant, she hurriedly took a few steps forward, and then quickly played down to bow to Kula, at the same time inwardly praying that Kula did not hear her own unintentional complaints just now.

  What happens when you disparage the Tower of Shadows faction in front of the Lord of Shadows?

  Kelly can't even think about it.

  But she was answered by a mellifluous cry.

  "Phew ..."

  "Stay awake!"

  Jared subconsciously tapped her on the head, pulling Kura back from the slumber she was about to fall into.

  "Uh-oh? Nothing, Kula didn't hear anything?"

  "I'm terribly sorry, Lord Berukolin, and I ask you to believe that it was not my intention to discredit ..."

  Kula's lack of clarity is making Kylie more and more panicked.

  "Kylie-san, I told you ... ah! Berukolin-sama!!!"

  Tawana pouted as she walked out of the room, it seemed that she had wanted to contradict Kylie's comment, but upon seeing Kura she immediately jogged up to her in a panic and gave her a solemn salute as a magical envoy. But to Jared and Caroline, it was a little funny that they were bowing to a girl who looked even younger than they did.

  "Tawana, I heard from Kelly that you're going to learn Necromancy?"

  Jared asked curiously, before he and Caroline had thought that Tavana wouldn't choose something so terrible. But now it seemed that wasn't the case.

  "Yes, Brother Jared."

  Tawana nodded.

  "Although everyone says that Necromancy is very scary, but no one has ever seen what Necromancy is, and there is only Necromancy in this academy that no one has ever learned, so I want to learn it. ... And didn't that Bones Sister say that gentleness and kindness are also important parts of learning Necromancy? I think that's why I want to learn. So I don't think it's a problem to learn it. ..."

  Jared slightly raised his eyebrows, worthy of being a merchant's daughter, she actually understood the principle of scarcity of goods. Indeed, Tawana's own potential, according to Kylie's statement is not likely to have any progress, rather than in other schools as a common, hundreds of people in the unimpressive small role. It would be better to learn what no one has ever mastered ... Although for Caroline and Jared, they very much hope that Tawana can become one of those hundreds of people. But after all, Tawana and they are different, and, the pursuit of advancement is also a person's nature, only the strong such as Jared Caroline at the top of the pyramid of existence will be willing to be ordinary, and try to live in peace and quiet.

  Hearing this, Kylie instinctively wanted to say something, but since Kura was standing in front of her half-asleep, she was of course too embarrassed to stop others from joining in front of each other - wasn't that blatant discrimination?

  "If you decide, you won't be able to choose to study another school, right?"

  Kula said what Kelly wanted to say.

  "Is that even possible? Tawana Kanarot?"

  "Yes!"

  Tawana unswervingly nodded, saw her so quick decision, Jared and Caroline suddenly for no reason a burst of uneasiness, it seems that Tawana's this choice, something is not quite right ... as if this choice is very bad?

  After receiving Tawana's reply, Kura nodded half-sleepily. Then he stretched out a hand and handed a black magic crest to Tawana.

  "So, you can take it now and report to the Tower of Darkness?"

  (Kula, what about you?)

  Caroline inquired with some curiosity, to which Kura simply turned and staggered toward the door.

  "Kura, it's time to go see a friend, yo? There's a lot of trouble ahead."

  With that, she reached out and pushed the door open, leaving the magic lab.
