Hearing the faint reprimand in Mevis’s tone, Shari snorted coldly, crossing her arms.
“You too—don’t call me by my real name in the academy. If Lord Shadow finds out that all the resources spent placing me here to assist you were wasted, it will be on you.”

As the former Empress, Shari would not tolerate being lectured by anyone except Lord Shadow. She knew the risks of using the All-Seeing Eye within the academy but had no other choice to pass that cursed entrance exam.

Mevis, as always, kept her expression neutral, her tone calm.
“Understood, Shari.”

Shari smirked, leaning in. “You know, the All-Seeing Eye is truly useful. Last time, when we went to Sky City to gather intel on Leon, wasn’t it this spell that did the trick?”

Mevis didn’t lift her gaze, responding with a simple, “Yes.”

“Thanks to your intel, Lord Shadow was able to draft such a detailed plan to deal with Leon. It’s a pity we didn’t manage to finish him off in Flaming Valley,” Shari remarked leisurely.

She added with a sly smile, “Some say Lord Shadow isn’t ready for a direct confrontation with Leon yet, but there are other ways to bring him down.”
