Had Daly made a mistake? Did the Church actually possess the subsequent Potion formulas for the Assassin pathway?
But judging by the smile on her face, she showed none of the distress or regret of having gotten the facts wrong...
Could it be that, because Daly knew I had already become an Instigator, she deliberately had me submit a special application, forcing me to choose between exposing my strength and drinking a Potion of the same Sequence?
Would drinking the same Potion again make me lose control on the spot? Or would I have to begin acting all over again?
Angel's mind raced. She glanced at Klein beside her, only to find him watching her with an equally worried expression.
Daly, seated on the sofa, smiled even more broadly, seemingly delighted by Angel's frantic, helpless state. It was not until even Dunn noticed something was wrong and turned a puzzled gaze toward Angel that she spoke:
"What's wrong with you? Crestet said he'd have you go down for the assessment first. If you're unwell, Klein can go first."
"N-No... it's nothing, I..."
Angel did not know what to say for a moment.
Could she only pretend to be unwell and make it impossible for the assessment to proceed?
"She's fine. She's probably just too excited. After all, once the assessment is over, she'll be a 'true Instigator.'"

As long as Angel remained ignorant and passed Crestet, the Sword of the Goddess's assessment, then when he laid out the Potion formula and ingredients and had her prepare and drink it
