Chapter 43

Lenalee was shocked to find out how far Alyce removed the seals...

Despite being captive for a long time, Tyki fought well that it became hard for the three to even make him tired.

On the other side, the three find it hard to hit Alyce since she keeps on disappearing and beating the hell out of them from behind.

Ellis tried using illusions but it didn't work too well. Kanda's blade always gets blocked by the dagger or missed. Lavi tries with his hammer but it won't even land on her.

He activated seals but not much affected her. They can now see why she is a general. She can't be one if they easily beat her.

They didn't even notice how fast time went for them to be beaten.

"That's all for now. All of you lost. What more if a Noah?"

"They just fought one."

"Yeah, but I'm not one."

"It would be worse if you were."

"Since I see now how you fight. Things will be different the next day. Get up early, all of you. That's all. You're dismissed."

*Alyce's point of view

I headed out to my room and took a quick shower after sealing back Tyki's power. I know now how to handle their training, there's just this one more annoyance that I'll have to face in just a short while.

Any moment now...

"Calling General Wynne. Please report to the supervisor's office."

They didn't even bother with sending a finder to call me. They want me there at once.

After changing clothes back to my uniform as a general, I headed towards the office not bothering with the looks people gave me and the whispers I heard.

Knocking on the door, I was let in then seated on the couch.

The inspector is there as expected.

"You had removed the seals on the Noah?"

"Only for a short while. It's back now."

"You do know that that can be considered a plot for treason."

"It was only done for training."

"You had gone far."

"I had not. Would you rather have it that I did? Would you rather have me commit those acts you accuse me of?"

"Write all your explanation and do these paperwork before continuing with your job as a general."

Another pile, how I wish to burn those things.

I merely smiled an obviously fake one while saying, "I'd gladly finish this, Inspector."

I then brought it all out then slammed the door shut really loud behind me. I carried it to the library and dropped it on the table. No way would I bring those to my own room.

"Yin, tell Tyki that he'll be training them alone tomorrow in the morning. I need to finish these things first. I'll just catch up in the afternoon."

*Tyki's point of view

Resting on my bed, a knock came and I saw that it was Alyce's golem.

It sent out a message that I'd have to train the exorcists alone tomorrow in the morning and that she'd catch up in the afternoon. After that, the golem left and I closed the door to continue my rest.

Another knock came though and it was unexpectedly, the bookman apprentice.

"What brings you here, junior?"

"I've got a question."

"Close the door."

"Do you know something about Ellis? Has Alyce told you anything?"

"She doesn't need to tell me anything. I know."

"Then what, who is he?"

"You noticed indeed but I can't tell you. I keep my word and you shall yours. One thing though, be wary of him."

"Why?"

"Find out yourself."

*Lavi's point of view

Who is Ellis? What is he? What Tyki told me is too vague.

Why should I be wary of him? I am suspicious of him, yes. But why should I be wary of him?

Walking back to my room, I pass by Alyce who is working on paperwork. I know she knows my actual personality but I am still Lavi right now anyways.

"What cha doin' Alyce?"

"Paperwork. Loads of them. Leave me alone if you don't want me to make you finish all these things for me."

I knew though what it was about. I didn't fight Tyki but I noticed as well. There's no way for me not to notice even with a blind eye.

"It's cause you remove the seals, right?"

She suddenly shove a pile on my face.

"You do this part since you already know what it's about. No escaping."

"Okaaay, Alyce."

I sat on the chair and placed the papers on the table. I took a pen and started writing.

"You seem to be in a cheerful mood."

"I always do," I said with a wide smile.

"What do you want, junior?" she asked with such a questioning look.

I smiled. She figured it out.

"What else?"

She sighed.

"Fine."

"Thanks, Alyce."

"Yeah, yeah."
