Chapter 238: Freya Targeted by Assassins

By the time Eleanor and Arrichion entered the lobby, the receptionist had long since gone. A guard in a black uniform, seated by the door, immediately stood and saluted when he saw them.

"Instructor, I was tasked to accompany Cadet 659 to her dormitory... and to deliver this package." He held up a small box.

"Very well. Give her the package and return to your duties. I will accompany Cadet Eleanor myself," Arrichion said.

The guard handed the box to Eleanor and departed without another word. She placed it on a nearby chair and lifted the lid. Inside were a few neatly packed snacks and a folded note. She picked it up and read silently:

’Ma’am, we are returning to the dorm. It’s almost curfew. I hope this food will be enough for the night. -Ophelia’

A faint warmth stirred in Eleanor’s chest. Ophelia had been worried about her missing meals. She tucked the box into her robe and silently promised herself to thank her properly later.

Arrichion said nothing about the package, merely waiting with patient stillness until she was ready to leave.

When they stepped out of the combat department building, the sky over the academy was plunged into moonless darkness. Streetlamps lined the walkways, casting pale light across the stone paths. Even without them, Eleanor’s sharp werewolf senses could easily pick out the dormitory building in the distance.

As they walked, Arrichion asked abruptly, "Which optional courses do you intend to take?"

"Fundamentals of Psionics and Wilderness Survival," she replied.

His brow arched slightly. "An interesting choice. Psionics is expected, given your abilities. But why Wilderness Survival?"
