Summer had already faded, and fall took the spotlight.

“I’ve come to see how you’re doing.”

One day, Nia stopped by Anzel’s bar again for the first time in a while. The fundraising had been going smoothly. Many elements of managing her secret identity had caught Lynokis by surprise at first, but over time, she had gotten accustomed to it, and she was now steadily swapping between her two professions. At the very least, no large incidents had occurred.

“Well, hello there, stranger. You alone today?”

Lynokis, Fressa, and Gandolph were all out on an adventure at the moment. A lady called Lynette would usually stand in for Lynokis as Nia’s personal attendant, though she would also sometimes join the group on their adventures.

“Lynette and I decided we should try and avoid being seen here together. As she goes out on adventures without a disguise, I don’t want people to know we’re associated.”

It made sense to Anzel. Leeno’s name was beginning to spread, and he doubted that made matters easier. More and more adventurers were becoming his clientele, likely to try and dig into what Leeno was doing; there wasn’t much other reason for them to come to some cheap back-alley bar. There were plenty of cheap bars that didn’t sit in such conspicuous locations. The only ones that normally frequented the Shifty Shadow Rat were penniless has-beens, and thugs with one foot in the underworld. Adventurers didn’t exactly come under the target demographic.

“You know...” Anzel muttered as his gaze fixed on Nia where she sat by the counter. “Ain’t ya way too strong?”

Anzel hadn’t seen Nia in a while. To be specific, it was the first time he’d seen Nia since he’d learned about chi. Because he’d gotten used to the energy, there were some things he could sense now that he couldn’t before.

“I’m glad you think so.” Nia grinned. “You’ve trained more than I thought. You should’ve only touched on the basics, and yet you can already understand my strength?”

“I’m not good at really explaining it, and even Fressa said she doesn’t get what I’m on about, but...” Anzel sliced some fruit, and then squeezed the juice out of it. “It’s like...most people’s chi I see kinda wavers. Other living creatures too. But I don’t feel that from you at all. Instead, your energy is eerily static. Honestly, I can’t help but find it a little unnatural.”

“Wow, look at you.” Nia seemed happy. Honestly, Anzel thought he sounded like he was talking nonsense, but it looked like Nia understood what he meant. “Good job. You’ll definitely become much, much stronger, I guarantee you.”

“Nice to hear it, I guess.”

“Why not join me on a blood-filled path of domination?”

“Yeah, no thanks.”

The two idly chatted while Nia drank her freshly pressed juice. Once she was finished with her drink, she stood up.

“Leaving so soon? Actually, wait, why did you come here?”

“I just came to see how my student was doing. If you seemed like you’d hit a wall in your training, I was going to teach you some things, but it seems like I don’t need to do that just yet.
