The Third District and the Academy of Mystique are not clearly marked on satellite maps to prevent ordinary people from entering. The young boy, Marcus Knight, couldn’t find anyone for a while.
As a provisional member of the Mystic Regulation Office, Hannah Hearne could handle disputes between humans and spirits.
She also wanted to know which imp sprite still had a childish heart and was drawing such pranks on human faces.
So she spoke,
"I’m a student at the Third District Middle School. Come with me."
Then she said to the cat and dog, who were squatting at her feet since who knows when,
"I’m going back to school now. You guys go home on your own."
She added a reminder,
"Go home directly and behave. If I get points deducted from my task because of you... you can kiss that fur goodbye this summer."
Hannah Hearne said this with a smile on her face, but her gentle tone and smile somehow made people feel uneasy.
Marcus Knight just wanted to say this sister was a bit carefree. Forget about the dog, but how could she toss the cat aside, thinking it would understand and go home on its own.
As he was pondering this, he saw the kitten and black dog obediently nod towards her, then turn around and dash away.
Marcus Knight: ...
"Having arranged" for the two little companions, Hannah Hearne signaled Marcus Knight to follow her. Lucas Jennings, upon hearing this, immediately offered,
"Aunt, I have a car. Let me have someone drive you there directly."
Coincidentally, his sister should be in class at the Academy of Mystique, and he wanted to surprise her at the academy entrance~
With that settled, the group got in the car, and the assistant drove them towards the Third District, just two streets away.
After the four left, a green-haired figure peeked out from a nearby alleyway, looking like it barely escaped.
After a long while, they took out their phone with a cracked screen and started sending messages—
[Friends, I just saw a real Master in Cathay, and I almost got cursed!]
...
Academy of Mystique.
The assistant’s car drove straight to the front gate of the academy after registration and clearance.
Lucas Jennings initially intended to surprise Scarlett Jennings, but that didn’t pan out.
Because just as they were getting out of the car, there was Scarlett Jennings waiting early at the academy entrance.
Lucas Jennings saw her and realized she wasn’t surprised by his appearance. Thinking about the odd foreign gentleman he met earlier, he immediately had a theory,
"Sis! You’re waiting for me here, is it because you sensed I was in danger and knew I was coming to see you!"
Lucas Jennings felt touched, having heard that some Masters set up special protective amulets for their family members that allow them to sense trouble.
His sister’s protective amulet must be like that.
Scarlett Jennings looked at the emotions in his eyes but remained expressionless,
"It wasn’t a sense, someone informed me."
Lucas Jennings was curious, "Who?"
Surely Brother Donovan wouldn’t have figured out he’d cut class to visit the Capital Metropolitan and told his sister?
Scarlett Jennings raised her phone to let him see a forum post.
The post contained a short video of the process where he was making hand gestures and chanting spells to finally produce a completely unrelated Silence Talisman on the green-haired person.
This video was taken by a passerby upstairs, who initially shared it to respond to online jokes about foreigners using talisman papers. However, it was noticed by a fellow Taoist and shared on a Spiritual Affairs forum.
The fellow Taoist analyzed his hand gestures and spells and concluded,
The first part was misleading; only that final Silence Talisman was genuine.
Scarlett Jennings said,
"The Security Bureau’s Internet Monitoring Department happened to see the video and noticed the Silence Talisman I gave you was used on a regular person, then notified me to pay a fine and deduct some task points."
Her tone was extremely calm, but Lucas Jennings inexplicably sensed a hint of danger in her calm narrative.
His previously upright posture subtly bent, showing a guilty demeanor,
"Sis, I was wrong..."
He truly didn’t know that using her talisman would end up causing her to get fined and lose points.
At the time, he only intended to scare the opposite person a little while thinking if he didn’t show something real, they might really think he was fabricating things. That’s why he used his only Silence Talisman.
