Chapter 161 Long Time No See
Jean couldn’t help but shiver, a chill rising through her body.
The Abyssal Choir was not the kind of group to be taken lightly.
If they found out that their member had been reced by someone else–
She would definitely be punished by the organization.

So for this weekend’s meeting, she couldn’t just quietly observe and probe for information–she would have to staypletely sharp and avoid giving herself away.
So much pressure<i>! </i>
Jean rubbed her forehead. Only now did her tightly wound nerves finally begin <i>to </i>ease.
The situation in Northara was finally over.
Even though the mastermind behind everything was still hidden in a cloud of mystery, with no clear trail to follow, at least Dominic’s leg had been saved. In that sense, her trip hadn’t been a waste.
Jean walked into the bathroom and, for the first time in a long while, took a refreshing shower.
Then she changed into her pajamas and copsed onto her bed, quickly falling into a deep sleep.
She buried her head under the covers, clearing all the chaos from her mind atst, allowing herself a moment of real rest.
The next morning.
Jean decided to make a trip to Sterford Academy.
Sienna didn’t understand. “You just got back. There’s no rush. You should rest a little longer. I can call the school and get you an excused absence.”
She was wearing an apron, busy cooking something in the kitchen. “Since when have you been so passionate about studying?”
“It’s not really about studying,” Jean said, scratching her head and smiling. “It’s just been a while since I saw my ssmates. I kind of miss them.”

“It’s okay,” Jean said vaguely. “There are a lot of people in the ss. It’s not hard to make a few real friends. I just haven’t seen them in a while and want to catch up.”
Seeing her like this, Sienna didn’t push any further. “All right, then hurry up and cat. Breakfast is almost ready. After you eat, I’ll have the driver take you.”
Jean nodded happily.
At that moment, Dominic was still asleep.
As someone recovering from serious injuries, he had paused all his work and was focusing on resting at home, even sleeping in for once.
Jean didn’t wait for Dominic to wake up. After finishing her breakfast, she immediately headed to
Sterford Academy.
She had only one purpose today-
She really did want to see a ssmate and talk.
But that ssmate wasn’t just anyone. It was Sofia.
She was eager to meet Sofia and talk about Asher.
Standing once again at the entrance to the ssroom after so long.
A girl was justing back from getting some water. As she casually nced toward the ssroom, her eyes widened in shock when she saw Jean approaching.
“Jean?! You… how…”
It was Sofia. Her lips trembled, and she stumbled over her words, unable to speak properly.
Jean smiled at her, her eyes lighting up like they were filled with tiny stars. “Sofia, long time no see.”
