"I'll do it."
Ergane pushed open the door and stepped out of the carriage.
Professor Lily reluctantly put away the great hammer in her hand. Gavin North fell silent for a moment, cautiously observing Ergane as she finally emerged from the carriage.
There were fourteen people from the academy on this expedition. Yet several of them had remained inside the carriage and never shown themselves.
This student-like girl was one of them.
Of course, he no longer regarded her as a genuine student... or even a girl.
After all, Professor Sylph had set a precedent. He was more inclined to believe that she, too, was some professor in disguise. What will she do?
Not only Gavin North, but also Stanley Longfellow, Gwen, and the people from the Holy Church all watched closely.
However, after stepping out of the carriage, Ergane merely observed the statue for a moment. Then she glared slightly, and those who had been enchanted by the statue instantly woke up. Their expressions changed drastically as they staggered backward.
Though the statue still emanated its aura, it could no longer enchant anyone. Ergane closed her eyes, then opened them again, and her gaze returned to normal. She nodded at Professor Medea, then returned to the carriage, her task complete.
Gavin North and Count Stanley Longfellow looked at each other, utterly bewildered.
Only the female guard named Gwen narrowed her eyes thoughtfully. A soft "Huh?" also came from one of the Holy Church's chariots. When Ergane had used Brain in a Vat just now, she had ultimately leaked a trace of divinity.
However, Magic Spirit Cards with divinity were not unheard of nowadays, so it was not enough to expose her identity.
She returned to the carriage and greeted Ophelia, who was sitting inside and observing a crystal ball.
