Chapter 80 The test has been cancelled!
"I didn't think about it too much at that time, but with what just happened, it's starting to make sense," Sir Dominic remarked, his voice steady yet laced with an underlying tension.
"What do you mean, sir?" Kara inquired, her brow furrowing with curiosity, the air thick with unspoken questions.
"The look on the mind reader's face when she ventured into Silas's mind... it was as if she stumbled upon something she wasn't supposed to see," Sir Dominic responded, his tone dropping to a near whisper. "It was obvious that the result she received when she delved into his head wasn't what she was expecting, not in the slightest."
"So, are you saying she's hiding something?" Kara pressed, her voice rising slightly with intrigue.
"Maybe. But what could she possibly be hiding? She's a Grade 4 mind reader; there's no way she failed to extract his thoughts... unless she failed and concocted a lie to cover up her mistake?" Sir Dominic mumbled, his fingers rubbing his broad chin thoughtfully, deep lines of contemplation etched across his face.
"The mind reader was a Grade 4, and considering Silas has no mutant abilities, I don't think she would have struggled when it came to reading his mind," Kara pointed out after a few seconds of reflective silence, her voice steady.
"But the look on her face...," Sir Dominic muttered again, his eyes narrowing. "It can't be a mere coincidence. I refuse to believe it's just coincidence. Even Josh suspects Silas, which means there's definitely something unusual about him," he added, frustration creeping into his tone.
"We both know that Sensei Josh only made those comments because he was enraged over his son's death and was desperate for someone to blame. Silas was the perfect scapegoat for him to vent his fury on," Kara replied, her tone resolute. "But if you have doubts or suspect something, just give the order, and I'll take care of it," she offered, her voice tinged with respect.
Sir Dominic sat in silence, his fingers still tracing the contours of his chin, a deep look of contemplation settling over his features. He had dedicated many years of his life to aiding the academy in the search for the artifact. However, unlike the other staff members, Sir Dominic's motivations ran deeper—he sought the artifact not for the academy but for his own gain. His ambition was to harness the power of the artifact and force those above him to bow down before him. The thought of finally being close to achieving his goal fueled his determination; he couldn't let this opportunity slip away.
"Watch your tone, hotshot. You don't know the full story," a staff member interjected as he approached the boy known as Matt, his demeanor calm yet firm.

The students around them shifted their gazes toward the staff member, admiration evident in their eyes, while the female students couldn't help but blush at his presence.
"What's there to know? All I know is that the test got canceled because a group of weaklings couldn't clear a Grade 2 realm, and one of them ended up getting hurt badly," Matt spat, his voice laden with disdain.
The staff member continued walking toward him, hands casually tucked in his pockets. He had spiky golden hair that obscured his eyes, standing at a towering six feet, clad in the navy blue staff uniform. A skill slot with four glowing red bars encircled his waist. Overall, he emanated a youthful charm and an aura that drew attention, the kind of young man every girl dreamed of.
His name was Klaus.
"Look, it's Klaus. We hardly see him around the academy because he's always on missions. He's still as handsome as ever," a female student whispered, her cheeks flushed with excitement as her gaze remained fixed intently on Klaus.
Klaus continued striding forward until he finally halted in front of Matt. Leaning slightly toward him, he spoke in a soft yet firm tone, "They didn't get into trouble in a Grade 2 mutant realm, blockhead. They accidentally got transferred to a Grade 5 realm, and that's why the test was canceled." His words hung in the air, eliciting gasps of shock and disbelief from the surrounding students, their eyes widening at the unexpected revelation.
