Monika didn’t know.

She didn’t know that the woman was a member of Inferno and Klaus’s de facto older sister, “Flamefanner” Heide.

And she didn’t know that the so-called “special joint training exercise” was secretly a selection test for new Inferno members.

In that moment, though, she’d witnessed something—a peak she would never be able to reach, no matter how much effort she put in.

That was the day Monika stopped trying.

When they arrived at the apartment, Mattel got Monika some mineral water, then chugged down a glass himself. Soon thereafter, he began nodding off.

“Sorry, Coach… I’m just really tired…”

He diligently apologized, then plopped himself down on the nearby sofa and fell asleep. When Monika gave his shoulder a light push, he crumpled onto his side. The sleeping pill she’d slipped into his water had worked like a charm.

“Don’t worry, it’ll wear off soon.”

Mattel was the only other person in the apartment. His mom had moved out during the divorce, and his dad was still at work. Mattel had told her what time his dad was getting home, so Monika knew she was free to scour the place. The apartments in the complex were pretty standard two-bedroom affairs, with a pair of bedrooms accompanied by a living room and a combined kitchen-dining room.

Monika headed straight for the dad’s bedroom and opened up his filing cabinet.

Let’s see if we can find something to blackmail him with, shall we?

The best-case scenario would be finding schematics for the Endy Laboratory’s electrical systems, but he probably stored those at his workplace or in some office inside the laboratory itself. What Monika needed was something she could use to threaten him into stealing those schemata.

Worse comes to worst, I can always take the kid hostage and get information out of him that way.

She’d already won Mattel over, so that would be easy to pull off if necessary. Looking through the apartment’s photo albums, it was clear to see just how much the man loved his son. Monika didn’t relish the thought of kidnapping the kid, but it would certainly be an effective way to get the target to obey her instructions.

When she opened up the man’s chest of drawers, Monika tilted her head to the side.

…Is that a false bottom?

The bottom of the drawer was ever-so-slightly elevated.

The question was, why would an ordinary civilian apartment even have something like that?

She lifted up the bottom and inspected the hidden drawer’s contents. Inside, there was a single notebook.

Monika couldn’t help but grin as she leafed through it.

This target’s got one hell of a secret.

It was time for a change of plans. Monika decided not to leave the bedroom. Instead, she hid behind the door and waited.

An hour later, Mattel’s dad got home.

His name was Jordan Cupca, and he was a skinny, earnest-looking man who worked at a small electrical shop. He draped a blanket over Mattel, who was still out like a light, then loosened his tie and went into his bedroom.

Monika pressed her gun against his back. “Don’t move. Don’t turn around.
