In a random seat within the lecture hall, Hazel sat calmly, waiting for the professor to arrive.
Just then, she heard the cadets sitting behind her whisper amongst themselves.
"Hey, did you hear? That terrorist group that's causing chaos within the empire, Nebulous Veil. Apparently, they attacked more noble houses last night. There was even a marquis family among the victims, too."
"What? Have they started attacking marquis families too? Just what the hell is going on in the empire?"
"I wonder how long it'll take for the empire to capture this organization."
"I don't think it'll take too long. After all, what's a mere organization in front of the great Valcarion Empire?"
"The empire will probably slaughter every single person connected to the organization once that happens."
Chills ran down Hazel's spine, and her forehead became sweaty.
'N-No, calm down.'
