Zara's goal had always been to somehow gain Atticus's favor or, at the very least, get a little bit closer to him.

And although many might consider it pathetic or even stupid, Zara's plan had been to basically pretend to worship and revere him to an extent that got on his nerves, and he would personally ask her to stop worshiping him and become a little more comfortable with him.

Dumb? Yes, she was well aware of that, but yet, it could work.

She had to start from somewhere.

"Youn—" she raised her head from the bow, and just as she was about to apologize, Atticus cut her off,

"Save it. What lectures did you attend today?" Atticus asked.

It was clear Atticus had no time for trivial matters like this. 'I've been seen through from the beginning,' Zara realized.

She thought she had hid it well, but it was obvious Atticus had been aware of her intentions from the outset.

She had no idea how, but she knew; she never stood a chance from the beginning.

Zara snapped out of her daze, facing upwards to meet Atticus's piercing blue eyes staring at her,

'Is he really human?' she thought before immediately deciding to respond to Atticus's question, but this time, she decided to give up her worshiping act and stand straight, but still made sure to sound respectable.

After all, Atticus was still a tier-one youth and the leader of their division.

"We were taught about blacksmithing, young master," she responded.

'As expected, each lecture was tailor-made for each student,' Atticus pondered.

Just as the description had said, each class was tailor-made for each student. Which meant that the academy was completely aware of practically everything about each student.

What does this imply?

It simply meant that for that to happen, the academy had been watching them.

Atticus had always suspected that they were being watched by the academy.

But to what extent, he had no idea.

It was clear they had an accurate understanding of everything the students were good at.

The first alarm signals that rang in Atticus's head were his battles with the Shadow Seraphon.

'Did they watch that fight?' He pondered.

He was about 85% sure that they had watched his battle with the shadow Seraphon, both times.

Atticus couldn't even begin to imagine the reactions of the people who watched the battles.

He had no doubt that seeing a 15-year-old boy easily beat up a master- ranked beast would most definitely shock a lot of people to the core.

'It's long gone, I can't do anything about it now. Besides, it's probably the academy staff. If they were given the authority to watch over us, they must have signed a mana contract to stop them from revealing what they see,' Atticus concluded.

Although he hated the feeling of being watched and having his strength laid bare for them to see, if they were all sworn to secrecy, then it was a bit bearable.
