Isaac POV
Professor Catherine let out a soft hum and finally slid her sword back into its sheath.
Still, her gaze lingered on the door.
Isaac noticed it.
He frowned slightly. "Is something wrong?"
Professor Catherine didn't answer immediately. Then, with a tilt of her head, she said, "No. Hmm, actually, I'm leaving. It will take me a bit of time to return."
"You're leaving?" Isaac asked.
"Yes," she replied, already adjusting her clothes. "If something happens before I get back, use the alarm and protection treasure Leora gave you during the assassin hideout operation."
Isaac nodded slowly.
He remembered those items well. Leora had handed them to him with serious eyes before he infiltrated the hideout to rescue Selene.
"Got it," Isaac said.
With that, Professor Catherine vanished. One moment she was there. The next, she was gone as if she had never been in the room at all.
Isaac let out a small breath, his brows furrowed.
