Ajina walked toward Torisa and Jeron with a deep smile on his face.
One of his hands remained inside his pocket.
Seeing this, Torisa quietly asked Jeron, "Did you tell Ajina that my car got into an accident?"
Jeron calmly replied, "Yes, I told him."
"But how did you know that I informed him?"
Torisa answered, "Because Ajina is standing behind you."
The moment Jeron heard this, he quickly stepped back and turned around. His eyes immediately landed on Ajina.
However, without even greeting Jeron, Ajina slowly pulled his hand out of his pocket.
Suddenly, a mask slipped out from his pocket and fell onto the ground.
Torisa silently noticed the mask falling.
Ajina slowly pulled his hand out and reached it toward Torisa for a handshake.
But the moment Torisa saw the mask on the ground, he froze.
"This is the same mask… the one that person was wearing…" he thought to himself.
Instead of shaking Ajina's hand, Torisa bent down and reached for the mask.
The moment Ajina noticed this, his heartbeat suddenly became faster.
"What will happen now…?" Ajina thought nervously.
Torisa picked up the mask and extended his hand toward Ajina to return it.
Ajina immediately said, "Oh… I found that mask lying somewhere."
The moment he said that, Ajina quickly snatched the mask back, as if he was trying to hide something.
Torisa quietly thought to himself,
"I didn't even ask him anything…"
"And these clothes… along with that mask… feel strangely familiar."
Ajina then looked at Torisa and asked, "Are you alright, Torisa?"
Torisa quietly replied, "Yeah… I'm fine."
Ajina suddenly smiled and laughed lightly. "So, how did all this happen?"
Hearing that laugh, Torisa thought to himself,
"Why is he laughing so much? I barely survived…"
Torisa then answered in a serious tone, "Smark sensei and I were heading here in the car."
Ajina looked confused. "Why?"
Torisa replied, "Didn't you know? One of Aloka's companions is still alive."
"We left the Ashrama because we wanted to question him about a few things."
Torisa lowered his eyes slightly before continuing,
"But unfortunately… a truck suddenly crashed into our car."
"The vehicle flipped over."
"I didn't even receive a scratch…"
"But Smark sensei was badly injured in the accident."
Ajina laughed and said, "So you were heading here… and even after such a huge accident, your fate still brought you to this place."
Torisa suddenly replied in anger, "I feel like this was a conspiracy."
The moment Ajina heard those words, his expression froze for a second.
But Torisa suddenly became calm again and quietly said, "Forget all that for now. We should focus on Aloka's case."
Jeron then looked toward Ajina and asked, "Sir, didn't you imprison Aloka and destroy his spirit as well?"
Torisa immediately replied, "But we met him on Red Moon, didn't we? That means he must have hunted another spirit."
Ajina coldly answered, "But I completely finished him before."
"Now I think we should erase Aloka's companion as well."
Torisa shook his head. "We can't remove him so easily. First, we need to make him reveal whether he has any other companions or not."
Hearing this, Ajina quietly thought to himself,
"He knows far too much…"
"That's why I planned to end Torisa's game."
"But even after all that… he still survived."
Ajina said coldly, "I hate that companion of Aloka."
"And if he refuses to reveal anything… I'll erase him."
Deep inside his mind, Ajina thought,
"If I don't kill Aloka's brother, Yakira… then he will expose everything."
Torisa then said, "Come on. Let's question Aloka's companion."
"By the way… he introduced himself as Yakira."
The moment those words left his mouth, Torisa's eyes widened slightly.
"What have I done…?" he thought nervously.
"By saying his name, I just proved that I know him."
"Now what will happen…?"
"No one must find out that I know Yakira."
At that moment, Ajina slowly smiled.
Then all of them walked toward the counter to search for Yakira's room.
Meanwhile, Atirika and Alpha continued giving ratings to the students.
In the end, only Mara remained.
He was separated from the crowd and made to stand alone at the center.
A moment later, Alpha threw the red-colored soil onto Mara's face.
The instant the soil touched him, it felt as if Mara had fallen into a seventh state of pride.
Red-colored liquid slowly flowed out from his eyes.
Then Mara suddenly spoke in a deep voice,
"What is received today… may not remain tomorrow."
"I am the sun of this world."
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
A deep crimson-colored smoke began rising from one of Mara's eyes.
Behind him, the shape of a lion slowly appeared within the smoke.
The lion-like figure silently stared toward the sky.
Seeing this, Alpha's eyes widened in shock.
"Could this be… King Scar Face?"
A moment later, Mara suddenly collapsed onto the ground.
Alpha quickly moved forward and held him before he could fall completely.
He then helped Mara stand back on his feet.
After that, Alpha Core looked toward Atirika and said, "31 seconds."
Atirika immediately wrote it down.
Suddenly, the school bell rang loudly.
The students quickly began running back toward their classrooms.
Mara picked up his bag and slowly started walking out of the ground area.
As he walked, he thought to himself,
"Where is Atura…?"
"Forget it. I should stop thinking about him."
"Wherever he is… he's probably fine."
At that moment, Alpha Core loudly announced to everyone,
"Tomorrow, the rating chart of all students will be revealed!"
