Sylas somewhat expected this answer. Professor Fembroise's existence felt a bit… random, almost like it wasn't meant to be. The design was also a bit shoddy, and it didn't align with the usual cleverness of the First Race of Humans.
Of course, Vesta's existence itself was actually quite amazing. The complexity and skill it would take to create a Human capable of snatching the abilities of a Basilisk just because she was in its belly during its evolution didn't need to be explained.
The fact that the First Race could even use someone so powerful as a mere decoy to hide their truest intentions and plans spoke for itself.
The fact that Alex could see through the fact that Professor Fembroise was just a decoy also spoke volumes. He knew a lot of what he knew not because someone had told him. It was because Alex had deduced all of these things himself and he had eventually learned to act on them.
