Some times, Lin forgot how much of an idiot this girl could be, with next to no knowledge about human customs.
Though her saying that she loved him did throw him off, when she clarified that it was more of a 'familial' kind of love Lin calmed back down with yet another sigh.
"You know what? Forget it. I... kind of like you too, so let's leave it that, all right?" A slight blush appeared in his face as he dismissed Shikio's odd questions.
Afterwards, Shikio started trying to process his explanation about Baphel. As he expected, she got it all wrong.
"No, even more powerful than me or your father. Pretty intelligent too. He was so talented that kind of made it easier for everyone else to use magic. Certainly, when he did that, magic became more widespread, not to mention easier to use for novices. Cause, well, mages could die if it weren't for that guy."
He shook his head, "And they aren't related at all. It's cause Baphel did a special ritual and..."
No, trying to explain it would probably be more of a headache than what it was worth for.
However, her theory of who the heir was was.... incredibly accurate. Honestly, Lin was surprised that Shikio had it in her to formulate some solid theory like this.
"Well, you've got a point. Maybe he only wants to throw us off so we don't that he is indeed the guy with the Eye, inciting the rumors of 'an student has it' would also benefit him more. After all, no one can actually live for that long, can they?" What Shikio had said definitely made him think about it all.
Maybe Director A really wasn't immortal and just kind of made it seem like so with several children that have followed in the line to become Liseranna's headmaster? Nah, that too was far-fetched as it was.
Still, Lin believed he wasn't chasing after smoke and mirrors and that Shikio might actually be right.
"I know, I know, don't worry. I'll tell you all about it. If you see someone stumbling on nothing and falling, keep your eyes on him. If they seem to have real bad luck, they might be the Heir. Also, look at their eyes. If they ever change colors, then they surely are the Heir. If their eye is black with red, come tell me right away."
And afterwards, they finally reached the infirmary.
"Well, I continue explaining after you are patched up."

Charlotte
Meruin turned back to Charlotte and told her to keep quiet, despite the fact that the girl had not as much as peeped a single word since the very start.
Still, Charlotte nodded fervently and then brought a single finger to her mouth.
The girl lead Charlotte all the way to the roof, opened the door and then commented about how nice the breeze was.
Charlotte opened her mouth to agree with her, before remembering that she was asked to keep quiet. So, she only nodded as fervently as before and continued following after Meruin like a duckling follows after its mother.
Of course, if there was something that Charlotte really did not expect was for the girl to suddenly up and... strip. Down to her panties, of course, but stripping nonetheless.
"OH MY, I'VE NOT SEEN A SIGHT LIKE THIS SINCE THAT TIME I WAS IN JAPAN WITH MY SHIKIGAMI FRIEND. IF ONLY THE FLATTOP WAS A BOY, I SWEAR I'D PUT THE RASCAL'S BODY TO GOOD USE!"
Charlotte this time actually had to make an effort for Balphegor's voice not to leak through her mouth. The spirit was being so loud that it was starting to affect her real body.
"D-Don't shout like that, Belly." Charlotte whispered.
Still, it was Meruin's decision to do what she wanted with her clothes, but still... it really wasn't something that others should see. Even more so if they were like Belphegor.
So, instead of sleeping, Charlotte decided to sit beside her and stay on guard until the girl decided to wake up.
"Is sleeping like that really comfortable?" She turned to see the nude girl sleeping beside her.

Juliann
Juliann felt the ghastly shadow hand pose itself over her sword. At the same time, the man also started threatening her, saying that it wouldn't do for the 'extremely hot teacher to be beaten in a duel with a 35 year old guy'.
Juliann sighed. The man truly needed a reality check.
"Do not mistake my words. I say this in the hopes that we will get along, and to do with these students what I came here to do. Educate them and teach them not only what it means to be a mage, but also how to have respect for their elders." Juliann also completely avoided anything in regards to the eye, despite the question from her fellow teacher.
What happened next was so fast that probably Synth couldn't see what had just happened, and would only see some strands of his hair falling to the floor.
Then, the sound of a sword sheathing and Juliann turning around.
"I shall leave it at that. For now, please go on with your class, proffesor Alistair." Juliann said as she headed for the door and exited the room.
Despite not being able to see, Juliann had just cut Synth's hair with a single stroke of her sword, that was going at an astonishing speed and that the shadowy hand could not keep in place.
