CHAPTER 29

Alice felt waves of panic as she checked through Samantha’s house again, hoping to find her in a spot she had missed. However, in her heart, Alice knew she wasn’t going to find her. Dread weighed on her as she fruitlessly searched Samantha’s house again.

Dazed, she walked out of the house and sat down in front of the door. The [Organic Mage] had been here for a reason—and Alice had a sinking suspicion that it had been to kidnap Samantha. An [Organic Mage] kidnapping Mages with weird conditions … sounded an awful like a member of the Society of Starry Eyes. Alice didn’t know what would happen to her now—nor did Alice have any ability to interfere at all. Even if Samantha was sliced into pieces by the Society as an experiment, Alice had no way to help her.

In fact, the Society didn’t need to do anything to kill Samantha. Samantha’s new kinetic seed had something seriously wrong with it, and it was making her ill. If Samantha wasn’t treated in time, the symptoms would probably become fatal. And as far as she knew, Alice was the only person who could treat Samantha.

The odds of Samantha surviving felt dishearteningly low when Alice considered the situation. Had her hesitation caused this? Was Samantha specifically targeted because of her strange illness? Or had the Society already made up its mind to kidnap a mage and Samantha had simply been unlucky? Alice felt a wave of doubt as she wondered whether she had moved too slowly, causing Samantha to get hurt as a result.

Alice closed her eyes, shaking her head as she tried to clear away her guilty thoughts. She’d had no way of knowing the Society would show up to kidnap Samantha today. For the Society to kidnap a mage in broad daylight was a massive escalation in their conflict with Illvaria, and one that was sure to result in massive retaliation. Alice had been doing her best to help Samantha while keeping herself safe. She had been planning on using her connections with her [Teacher] to keep her abilities hidden while still helping people. If the Society hadn’t kidnapped Samantha today, Alice’s actions would have deflected problems toward Professor Feliza, as long as the woman was willing to help out.

If the Society kidnapper had been even five hours later, Alice could have saved Samantha and remained safe.

But the Society member hadn’t shown up five hours later. Alice sighed, ignoring her System notifications as her thoughts churned.

Before she finished sorting out her thoughts, a [Guard] appeared. The [Guard] was a woman who looked to be in her early thirties, around level forty-five or fifty. She had no outstanding characteristics, but Alice stood up to greet her anyway, pushing down all her chaotic thoughts.

“Excuse me, Miss. A few minutes ago I heard someone yell that a Society member had been spotted. Was that you?” asked the [Guard], ignoring the caved-in building nearby.

“I … yes. You see—I …” Alice took a deep breath,
