Megose

Lynch had no idea what had happened between Klein and Leonard after he left. He immediately took a carriage to the police station to notify Mountbatten.

It was already daylight, so that fellow Mountbatten had surely gone to work.

This was another merit, one he could claim without much effort, so Mountbatten was naturally happy to take it.

The moment he heard that Lynch had secured the case for him, he set off with his men.

After Mountbatten left, Lynch took a carriage home.

As soon as he arrived, he rushed into the washroom and quickly took a hot shower, then returned to his bedroom feeling refreshed.

What a night that had been.

At least he'd gotten rid of all the suspicious things he had on him. Now, all that remained was to find out who had made him dream.

But the other party hadn't stopped him, which meant he hadn't angered them and had done what they wanted. His life should be safe for now.

Of course, to make it a little safer...

Lynch changed his clothes and headed to Khoy University.

Mr. Azik had told him his work and home addresses the night before and given him a letter of introduction. If Lynch went to see him, the gatekeeper would let him in.

Lynch didn't dare waste time or begrudge the fare. He took another carriage to Khoy University.

Perhaps because it was class time, Mr. Azik wasn't there when Lynch arrived. Only a woman who looked about twenty was in the office, writing something.

When she saw Lynch enter, she gave him a curious look and nodded, then lowered her head and continued writing.

Lynch didn't go over and make a nuisance of himself. He poured himself a glass of water, sat in Mr. Azik's chair, and fell into thought.

The Aurora Order hadn't contacted him yet, and he had no idea when they would put their plan into action. Now there was also someone making him dream. Tingen really wasn't an easy place to get by in. He felt much safer staying by Mr. Azik's side.

After some time, the office door opened, and Mr. Azik walked in.

"Megose, have you finished writing your application?"

He asked in a calm voice.

The woman nodded and replied softly, "I've finished, Professor. It's right here."

She pushed a sheet of paper toward him.

Mr. Azik glanced at it, then set it down and couldn't help asking, "Are you really going to withdraw from school and go home to get married?"

A hint of happiness appeared on the woman's face.

She spoke gently. "Professor, I've decided to marry him. He said he'll support me."

Lynch, sitting nearby, opened his mouth and couldn't help commenting, "Who still believes someone when they say they'll support them? Even your parents can't support you for your whole life, can they?"

The woman frowned at Lynch and said unhappily, "He's different from other people."

Lynch was speechless.

Even though he was a man, he didn't believe men who said things like that.

Before he could say anything, Mr. Azik walked over warmly.

"Lynch, I didn't expect you to come by today. I was just wondering when I should go see you! Come take a look. I found these things for you yesterday. I think you'll be able to use them!"

Mr. Azik motioned for Lynch to come over to the cabinet. Then he opened it, revealing a book and a glove.

"This is..."

He was about to explain when he remembered that Megose hadn't left yet, so he nodded to her.

"You can leave your application there and go. Since you've made up your mind, I won't stop you. But I'll hold off on submitting this report for a while. You'll still have time to change your mind before then!"

Mr. Azik's voice was fairly gentle.

Megose smiled and shook her head.

"He won't make me regret it!"

Lynch was speechless.

As Megose walked to the door, he couldn't help saying, "Before you get married, you should look into what kind of person he is. Don't trust someone so easily."

Megose looked a little displeased, but after glancing at Mr. Azik, she reluctantly nodded and left the office.

Only after she was gone did Mr. Azik begin explaining the two items he had taken out for Lynch.

"Look at this book. I call it Dreamland. It lets you have a pleasant dream. The side effect is that you'll get a headache for a while after each use, so I don't recommend using it often.

"As for this glove, it contains a small space. Once you put it on, you can store things inside. It's about one square meter. Make good use of it."

Lynch wasn't interested in the book, but he was thrilled by the glove.

Even a space of just one square meter was enough to excite him.

"What's its side effect?"

Lynch asked curiously.

"Once a day, you'll tell the truth."

Lynch immediately stuffed the glove into his pocket and nervously said that he didn't mind.

Mr. Azik didn't seem to care. He made Lynch a cup of tea and began asking which parts of the Khoy University entrance exam he didn't understand.

Lynch immediately brought up the questions he'd had while reviewing the day before. The Study Pen could indeed explain things, but that didn't mean it could make Lynch understand them.

Lynch felt the pen explained things poorly. It was like listening to an AI lecture, without a hint of emotion.

Sometimes, after listening to it, Lynch felt even more confused.

So he immediately told Mr. Azik about the questions.

As expected of Mr. Azik. Even though he didn't teach at Khoy University, he was still very familiar with its courses.

He explained everything in great detail, and Lynch listened very attentively. It was just that...

He couldn't remember much of it.

That was right. He was still on the Sleepless Pathway.

He was worried someone might target him, so he didn't dare abandon the Sleepless Pathway.

Having some combat strength made him feel safer.

He felt safer, all right, but it didn't do much for his studies.

Even Mr. Azik, who thought the world of him, was getting a headache from it.

Lynch could only quickly write down what Mr. Azik said, planning to study it properly when he got home that night.

After writing down his questions, Lynch looked at Mr. Azik and asked hesitantly, "Have you noticed anything wrong with me? I had a nightmare last night."

Mr. Azik stared at Lynch for a while, his brow furrowing. "There is something amiss, but it's not a serious problem. It might be that you were targeted because of me."

He looked troubled.

When he'd looked at Lynch the day before, there had only been a little trouble. Now, it seemed that the trouble had become a direct threat.

Lynch sighed.

He'd suspected as much, and it turned out he was right.

The other party had only made him dream and hadn't hurt him. They hadn't even stopped him from using the chance to throw away the Antigonus Notebook. He had no idea what they were after. Could they be warning him to get out of Tingen?

They knew Mr. Azik was an Angel and didn't want to offend him. They saw that Lynch had a connection to him, so...

Wait, the only ones who could find all this out so quickly were 0-08 and Ince Zangwill, right?
