༺ Second Element ༻

Future Duchess of the North, Aichel Whiteclark. I formally request that you convey the following to your sister, Keridna Whiteclark.

1. Observe Isaac from a distance. You do not have to be reckless in your observation, but if you notice something unusual, report it to me immediately.

2. Never use [Sight Synchronization] on Isaac unless you want to become blind.

3. Never mention anything regarding Isaac's affairs. He is not someone we can touch.

It was terrifying.

Aichel's solemn warning lodged into Keridna's mind like a wedge, the memory gripping her with a sense of unease.

'Who in the world is that man?'

A female student with short pink hair was sitting in Provisional Class 3, this student was Keridna Whiteclark.

She was currently lost in thought, sitting with her chin resting on her hand as she quietly tapped the desk with her fingers.

While the professor was conducting the orientation on the second semester's curriculum at the podium, Keridna couldn't bring herself to focus on the information.

Isaac had been the weakest in the Magic Department, possessing Grade E mana.

The symbol of the Whiteclark Ducal family was the White Dragon, a mythological magic beast.

The image of Isaac forming a contract with that magic beast wouldn't leave her mind.

Where should she even begin to be astonished? From the fact that the mythical White Dragon was still alive? Or from when Isaac had formed a voluntary master-familiar contract with said creature? Regardless, it was quite a ridiculous tale.

'Of course, I don't think he's still the weakest in the department anymore.'

Going into the second semester, Isaac had grown rapidly, increasing his mana capacity to C+. While he was still much weaker than her...

It was still disorienting.

What the hell is Isaac's true identity?

As Keridna continued to ponder it, she vividly recalled blood flowing down Aichel's face, it still gave her chills.

If Aichel hadn't plundered her [Sight Synchronization], Keridna would've been blinded. The cost of daring to spy on a monster like Isaac had been paid by her sister.

Thankfully, Aichel always had an absurd amount of [Basic Protection Magic] active. Otherwise, she really would have gone blind.

Keridna had incurred a debt that would be impossible to repay in her lifetime.

"Ugh..."

Keridna had no idea just how terrifying the secret she had tried to uncover was.

However, she knew one thing for certain.

Isaac was... like the embodiment of fear—a monster dwelling in the dark depths of the ocean.

There were some truths in this world that were better off unknown, and Isaac's secret might have been among them.

Keridna had almost gone blind as a consequence of her curiosity.

Now, Isaac was the object of her fear.
