The Author's POV

Chapter 482

"Nothing."

Despite having looked through the footage for the whole night, I saw nothing.

Even with Ryan's and Smallsnake's help, there was nothing in the footage that suggested that Professor Thomas was involved with anything.

"Haaa..."

"Am I really overthinking things? ...Or am I purposely being misled?'

Even though I had already taken this possibility into account a long time ago, the fact that this was all part of the plan of the other entity inside of my body never slipped away from my mind.

It was exactly because of this that I was being so paranoid.

If professor Thomas was a spy from the Monolith, then I would've not cared the least bit.

However, if this was something that 'he' had planned, then things were different.

Gulp—!

Taking another shot of the potion, my mind started to calm down.

'Honestly, at this point, the best option would be for me to get rid of him even if he's innocent. Even though it's unfair, this is the only thing I can do to calm my mind. Worst case, I can just give him enough money to live comfortably for his whole life.'

Couldn't take any more risks.

Letting out a long breath, I dragged my body to class.

'Let's me observe for a couple of days before coming up with a decision.'

Stopping right before the door of the classroom, I fixed my clothes and glasses.

Then, once I made sure that everything was fixed, I proceeded to enter the classroom.

Clank—!

Upon entering the classroom, I found that I was actually the last one to arrive.

Instantly the eyes of everyone present landed on me. Not minding the stares, and nodding once, I decided to sit down at the front of the classroom.

I actually didn't need to attend the lecture, however, I still decided to attend because of my paranoia.

"One's mana flow may be disjointed from the flow in the air, and as such…"

At the front of the classroom, the professor continued on with his lecture. Yet again, his lecture was filled with nonsense that I couldn't comprehend.

I wasn't the only one that felt this way as the students near me had bored looks on their faces. Glancing at them from the corner of my eyes, I couldn't help but laugh a bit.

'Kind of remind me of the time back then at the Lock.'

Back then, when I still thought that this world was still a novel, and knew nothing about current world affairs, I would also behave like them.

It felt kind of nostalgic.

"Huaaam…"

I let out a soft yawn.

Before I knew it, my eyes started to become heavier.

Was it perhaps because of the boring lecture or because I hadn't been sleeping properly for the past two days?...but slowly, my eyes started to close, and it wasn't long before my consciousness slipped.

"What in the world are you doing Sophia?"

"Shush, you'll wake him up. Move back a little. I haven't positioned myself well."

"Is this far enough?"

"Yeah, yeah, perfect. Lower your body a little. Get the lighting right."

"Ugh, why is this so complicated? The previous ten photos looked fine to me."

"Just shut up and do it."

'What's going on?'

Hearing a set of voices near me, my mind gradually cleared up and I slowly opened my eyes.

"Huh?"

Click—!

At the exact moment I opened my eyes, I heard a small clicking sound. Blinking my eyes a couple of times, much to my surprise, I found Sophia standing a couple of inches away from me with two of her fingers up in a peace sign.

Opposite her was Maria who held a phone in her hand.

Once my mind cleared up completely, my brows furrowed.

"What are you two doing?"

"Kya!"

Sophia jumped up in fright as she dashed behind Maria. Peeking from behind Maria, Sophia stuttered a little.

"Y…you're awake."
