Chapter 100.4 - Watchers of Arcane

As Kael and Lyra led me through the sprawling facility, showing me various training areas, research labs, and communal spaces, I couldn't help but think about why Reina seemed to be the one who recommended me.

When she first talked about the organization, she hadn't mentioned anything about finding me herself.

'It doesn't add up,' I thought. 'There's someone else behind the scenes, someone whose influence brought me here.'

I watched as Lyra pointed out the cafeteria, where recruits were eating meals prepared by specialized chefs.

Kael explained the different training regimens and the importance of honing our skills. They seemed genuinely enthusiastic about helping me get settled, but I couldn't shake the feeling that this was all another test.
