Iver had not expected Yulia's reaction to be so intense after he had only been at school for a week.
But Yulia's will was strong and firm. After seeing Iver, she refused to let him leave, clinging to him and making him tell her about the people he had met and the things he had encountered at school. Her reason was perfectly valid, leaving Iver speechless—
Yulia asked him, "Is school really such a dangerous place? Why have you been assassinated twice after only one week of school?"
She was absolutely right, and Iver did not know how to explain himself for a moment.
Iver had no choice but to sit beside her bed and tell Yulia about everything that had happened over the past week.
As he talked, Yulia could not help yawning softly.
Yulia's biological clock was comparable to that of an elementary school student. She could stay up late only when reading or studying. Normally, she had to prepare for bed at around nine.
Yulia was very intelligent. Since she usually could not leave the house, all she could do was quietly read by herself at home.
Like Iver, who was obsessed with demonology yet had considerable talent for the Path of Dedication, Yulia was likewise interested in and talented at the occult. However, her attention was focused more on astrology, alchemy, and preservation—with alchemy in particular, her talent was far greater than Iver's.

There was almost no occult knowledge related to the Path of Beauty, the Path of Transcendence, or the Path of Twilight, while there were many books related to the Path of Equilibrium, the Path of Wisdom, and the Path of Authority.
Especially the Path of Equilibrium...
