Yuri remained noncommittal, instead asking, "What about the school?"
Jaika replied, "I've taken a six-month leave for now."
"Is everything alright?" Yuri pressed on.
“I got scolded, but I’m not going to change my mind,” Chaika said firmly.
"Yeah, it's normal to get scolded."
"What Euryphus said was so mean!" The girl with the braided hair puffed out her cheeks.
Yuri persisted, "I don't think it's worth you giving up your job. Even if you don't become my teacher, I can still learn magic, but Academy City will suffer a huge loss without you."
Although Chaika is only a few years older than Yuri and Stella, she already holds a position that is unimaginable to the two of them.
Academy City, as the name suggests, is a joint academic city composed of more than a dozen magic academies.
It is the first large map in "The Athena's Revelation", and its corresponding unit should be the Papacy and the Imperial Capital, not St. Cromwell.
Chaika is not a real character in the story. Her status as vice president is very different from that of the protagonist's student, so she appears very few times.
Yuri's understanding of her was therefore very limited, and he could only learn bits and pieces of information through conversations with other NPCs.
Jaika Lakshir.
At only 20 years old, she was able to become the No.2 person in Academy City, which is partly due to the enlightened academic atmosphere that values ability, and partly because she is indeed very outstanding.
She is the most talented woman in the history of Academy City, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say so.
She is said to be the leading expert in the field of singularity research on the continent of Diamat, an authority on psychic and spirit summoning magic, and has established her own magic workshop and research institute in Academy City.
However, Yuri had also heard some unpleasant rumors about Chaika.
For example, she has very poor self-care skills, is a homebody who is only good at magic research, and is even less good at interpersonal communication and teaching.
When Chaika was in Academy City, she wasn't really in charge of teaching. Why did she suddenly decide to become my magic teacher?
This made Yuri wary of her.
Yuri thought to herself, "I should just be direct."
“Miss Chaika, I want to know the real reason.”
Chaika pursed her lips and looked at Stella next to Yuri.
"........."
The silver-haired witch stood up from her chair: "Excuse me, I'll be leaving for a moment."
She must have sensed that the other person wanted her to leave; Stella was quite astute in this regard.
"Oh, no! That's not what I meant!"
Chaika offered a frantic explanation, but Stella ignored her and headed straight for the coffee shop's restroom.
The crisp sound of high heels gradually faded away, leaving only Yuri and Chaika at the dining table.
"I messed up again..."
Chaika watched Stella's retreating figure, looking dejected. "I was hoping to become friends with Miss Stella... *sob*."
"Don't take it to heart, that's just her temper. Stella isn't really angry," Yuri comforted her.
"Alright, let's get back to the main topic. We can't let Miss Stella's efforts go to waste."
Chaika took a deep breath, looked at the black-haired boy, and spoke.
"Euphora, you must be one of the Night's Watch?"
"...!"
Although Yuri remained outwardly calm, her pupils unconsciously dilated slightly.
Were we exposed? Why?
The Night Watch was only recently established, and hasn't even launched a single actual operation yet?
Although Chaika may seem a bit naive, she is actually quite perceptive and noticed the boy's subtle wavering.
"It's true."
"........."
Yuri narrowed his eyes.
What should we do? Should we silence them?
...How could I possibly defeat an eighth-ranked opponent!
The key point is that the Night Watchmen haven't done anything illegal or disorderly, have they?
"Haha, don't be nervous."
Perhaps sensing the hostility emanating from Yuri, Chaika gave a somewhat stiff smile.
“I didn’t mean to use this as leverage to threaten you, really not… really.”
Yuri adjusted his mindset and let out a long breath.
There's no point in hiding it now, so it's better to just be honest.
"That's right, I am the Night's Watch. To be precise, I am the founder of the Night's Watch."
"Ah...so, there are other members of the Night Watch besides you?"
Jaika seemed unaware of the details; she leaned forward, her pupils gleaming with curiosity.
“Before that, answer my question… why does Miss Chaika know about the Night Watch?” Yuri stared intently at her face.
"That's true, I was very rude."
Jaika sat up straight apologetically and answered solemnly.
“I observed… a singularity fluctuation that occurred a month ago.”
"That evening, I accidentally detected the spacetime vibration of a large singularity by placing the singularity observation mirror in the workshop."
"Nine Star Singularity...!"
"This is such rare data that we might not encounter even once every ten years or so," Jaika said excitedly. "So I started observing and recording it."
Hearing this, Yuri's lips twitched slightly: he seemed to understand what was going on...
The day after Rosalia conquered the singularity, she announced her promotion to the world and mentioned an assistant called "The Night Watchman".
If someone is able to observe the occurrence of anomalies, it would not be surprising if their identity were discovered.
But... is it really possible for anyone to observe the occurrence of singularities?
Yuri never imagined that anyone could do such a thing, at least not in the game.
The Child of Prophecy somewhat understood why she was called the most talented woman in the history of Academy City.
Chaika continued, "During the data collection process, I discovered a startling fact... This Nine Star Singularity isn't a single challenger, but rather has two challengers!"
"This is incredible! How did they manage to bypass the detection mechanism for single-person singularities?"
"My curiosity grew, so I collected data in even more detail, and I discovered even more surprising things! The team composition within the singularity was actually a combination of eighth-tier and first-tier!"
"And that's not all... Although I can't directly observe the situation inside the singularity, the instruments detected that the first-tier challenger has stored more destiny power... In other words, he is the master of that world!"
Chaika became more and more excited as she spoke, clenching her fist: "After that, a major anomaly occurred in the singularity, where dreams began to erode reality!"
148 The Qualities of a Genius and a Savior
"The singularity has actually eroded reality, which has never happened before."
Chaika's eyes widened slightly, and a feverish blush rose on her cheeks.
"Is it that amazing?" Yuri asked, frowning.
"Yes, yes. Of course it's amazing! I always thought it was something that only existed in legends! Maybe it's the first time that humanity has observed an anomaly at a singularity!"
Chaika stared intently at the black-haired boy: "Eureka, what exactly happened during that singularity? Could you tell me a little bit?"
Your comments will definitely be of great help to future research on singularities!
Jaika could only observe the wavelength of the anomaly through instruments, unlike the witnesses invited by Rosa and Yuri who could see the internal situation, so she had no way of knowing what had happened.
"..."
Yuri's expression was subtle, and he remained silent.
The fact that one has summoned a true evil god within a singularity is something that certainly cannot be publicized.
Stella and the others didn't know this yet, let alone strangers meeting for the first time today.
"Ah... I'm sorry, I was too presumptuous. I guess it's impossible to reveal such private matters."
Jaika, somewhat disappointed, quickly tried to smooth things over: "Forget what I just said, I was just too curious."
She poked her chin and muttered to herself, "But why did that happen? Is it really because of Euryphus's savior constitution?"
As she spoke, the girl's eyes darted back and forth over Yuri's face and body.
Yuri felt as if he had turned into a frog, being stared at with great enthusiasm by a female medical student holding a scalpel.
"I don't have any special physical condition."
"How is that possible?"
Chaika waved her hand with a smile: "Since Euryphus is the savior, he must have some special physique, right? You just don't know it yet."
Originally, I didn't have that, but after clearing the singularity, I gained a constitution that attracts evil gods (?).
“But I think I understand why Miss Chaika contacted me,” Yuri said.
"Yes, yes, it's pretty much what you're imagining."
The girl with braided hair made no attempt to hide anything: "I hope that Euryphus can become my student and then assist me in my research on singularities in my spare time."
With Euryph's help, we're sure to make great progress in our research on singularities!
Do we mean all of humanity?
That's a truly grand topic.
"In return, I will do my best to teach Euryphus magic... although teaching is not my forte."
