She looked at him with raised brows, based on his personality she expected him to want Alastor dead unless, "Do you want to kill him?" she asked with a cheeky smile.

"Very much," after entertaining the thought for a bit, ", but we can't," he spoke with a heavy look in his eyes.

Shortly after he landed, he activated Samsara's vision, he saw something concerning, it had been a long time since he saw something that could truly cause him a problem and he didn't like it one bit.

"He was being controlled by a diviner, and this is a double layered trap they set for us." he truly hated all the diviners; the ignorant ones were too stupid and the smart ones were truly smart, there was no in between when it came to their kind.

They all knew how to expertly layer their plans so even an unsuccessful plan turned into a success from another angle.

Anya looked at him with a stiffened face, since finding out his real identity it was hard to not believe his every word, "How do you know?"

"His fate string has a very thick white residue on it, it's the result of having his fate string tugged on in a very violent manner, and the only type of person capable of doing such a thing is a diviner."

Just as he finished speaking he saw movement coming from the floor's entrance.

Almost half of the entire staff and all the guardians of the school appeared rushing down in a hurry, the power of the seventh-grade being unleashed gave them all a heart attack, they evacuation the entire school and came running to the source afterwards.

Lirian walked up to the front with a slight limp, the fall busted his knee, it wasn't serious but it still hurt, "Late as always," he commented when the headmaster and the other guardians got with earshot.

He glanced at the only guardian that had an excuse to be late, Geratos, he was an ancient pure breed Ent, with a huge trunk for a body, and many stray branches sticking out of his head, even as a seventh-grade being he was just as slow in his ways as a baby entling.

"Better late than never," one of the guardians Kristan said with a hearty chuckle not minding Lirian's attitude he was already aggravatingly used to it.

"Certainly," Lirian answered, ", if not for Anya being my guard then not just the entire school but a good portion of the city would have been in ruin, so sure why not, better late than never!" he reprimanded them without a care of who was the senior.

"It's not your place to reprimand my staff child," Telamon rebuked him.

"I don't see why I shouldn't you clearly aren't doing a good job at making them do theirs," he gritted out through clenched jaws.

"Anya is only here to act as my guard when I'm moving between school and home, her job is not to protect me from the traitors you hire to teach the students." he huffed with flaring nostrils.

Most of his anger was fake after all he knew that Alastor was being manipulated, but still, there was a part of him that was genuinely angry.

He had almost been killed if not for his incomprehensible combat experience he would have died without even knowing it.

Anya gripped his shoulder and pulled him back, "Stop Lirian, the problem is already resolved," she whispered softly.

"Resolved my ass!" he cursed loudly, "I would like to know how someone that tried to kill me, got the perfect opportunity to on their first day in the school, it sounds awfully convenient." he announced loudly.

As the last word got out of his mouth, he felt a hard smack on his face, he looked up at Anya with a clenched jaw as the stinging pain coursed through his face and rung in his ears, "Don't you dare make such an accusation!" she scolded him.

A trace of fury flashed in Lirian's eye, but as he looked at Anya he averted his gaze quickly, he couldn't bring himself to lash out at her, he cast one last look at Telamon who only looked at him coldly the entire time and left with a scowl sprawled across his face.

He couldn't be bothered with what anyone else had to say, he walked away from the scene in a cold fury, the more he learned about Telamon Dao the more unsettled he felt.

The system suddenly rang and he saw a name he wished he didn't.

[Efrideet Capriska has observed you, she feels anger +0 fate particles]

That blasted diviner, this entire fiasco was probably her set up by her, he though in silence.

He had been sure to do his best to avoid the gaze of diviners, even with his information feedback loop he made sure that it didn't activate in the presence of diviners, the last thing he needed to do was show them new tricks especially one so advanced.

The most annoying thing was that it was so difficult to steal fate particles from them, it was a perk of being a diviner and while the system acted as type of diviner it couldn't grant him that perk.

Anya watched as Lirian walked away, he looked at her like she had betrayed him but she had enough of his baseless nonsense about Telamon, she bowed her head in apology but was greeted by a hearty laugh from Telamon.

"Don't bow on the account of another Anya," he addressed her directly and smiled with parental concern, "In any other era you would probably be next in line for the throne of Clovis, so don't go bowing on account of another," he made her rise back-up.

"In truth the child is right this time, this is my fault I didn't expect an upstanding member of the Jane family to do something so despicable and let my guard down around him, in the end I gave him the perfect the opportunity, if not for you I would have had to explain to Taliyah how I let her son die," he spoke with a voice laced with heavy guilt as he looked at her with eyes full of gratitude as he thanked her sincerely.

"Please let Taliyah know that I'll give her a call as soon I resolve this issue, I have some explaining to do," he said with his arms folded behind his back and his gaze averted as if he was afraid to meet her eye.

Anya felt the need to say a few words of comfort to him and ease his conscious but she couldn't find the right words to say, she couldn't believe that Lirian was always thinking so lowly of him.

"You should go see to the child," he pointed at Lirian who was already at the elevator, ", the dangers that follow him are great and they could come at any time he'll need you more than ever in the days to come."

Anya nodded respectfully and followed after Lirian, unknown to her a dark light was growing in Telamons eye.
