The rumbling in his stomach, Jason heard it, and so did Novie across from him. The tall and strong Novie looked at Jason with skepticism. Jason, however, appeared quite composed. “I didn’t eat much at noon, so I am hungry now, which is normal.” He was telling the truth—he really hadn’t eaten much, just enough for ten people, that’s all. Novie had seen Jason the day before, and Jason had made quite an impression on him. Therefore, at this moment, Novie spoke with great respect. However, before he could finish his sentence, a voice interrupted him. The female student council president said. Then, she turned her head to Jason and asked, “Mr. Jason, did you come after Novie because you saw him before?” Jason nodded affirmatively. “You have quite a sharp eye.” The female student council president praised, and then she asked cautiously, “Do you know what happened to Novie? Of course, I do not mean to interrogate you.” Tedi tried to make her voice as gentle as possible, fearful of causing any unnecessary misunderstandings. Because she was well aware of how difficult it was to hire Jason as a tutor for the student council, and how lucky she was to have done so. She had learned some of Jason’s exploits through her family. Not much, but enough for Tedi to know to cherish the opportunity. What’s more, Jason also displayed extraordinary abilities. Yesterday, just because of the panic from a radish, he found Bella who had been buried. Just now, a fleeting glance allowed him to notice Novie, given that the two had only met once before. Tedi certainly did not wish for trivial matters to create unnecessary barriers between them. “It seems to be related to a certain girl.” “The incident in Classroom 13 is also connected to her.” “I didn’t ask for more specifics.” He wouldn’t refuse a kindly meant inquiry. She had not heard about Novie being involved with any girl. Following that, the female student council president looked towards Joel. “I don’t know either,” “I will investigate it!” The secretary-general first shook his head, and then he said. “Do not make it a public investigation.” “Be mindful of Novie’s feelings.” The female student council president cautioned. The secretary-general nodded and hurried downstairs. “Mr. Jason, do you need me to show you around the academy?” As she watched the secretary-general leave, the female student council president turned around and smiled at Jason. In her mind, she had already figured out how to arrange the following itinerary. Even though Giselle had already taken Jason on a tour of the campus yesterday, she was confident she could reintroduce St. Mungo’s Academy to him. After Jason spoke, he headed straight downstairs. With food in hand, he had no time to wander aimlessly. Watching Jason’s retreating figure, the female student council president was momentarily at a loss for response. However, Jason had only taken two steps when he stopped. The female student council president smiled again. “Have you changed your mind?” “I just wanted to ask where else you went before going to the ‘Watchdog Pastry House’.” Jason shook his head. “Nobody was anywhere special.” “Just the usual patrolling around the campus,” the female student council president answered. So, the other ‘food’ is also within St. Mungo’s Academy, but its exact location is unconfirmed, right? Jason thought, and after nodding to the female student council president as a gesture, he walked forward without looking back. The female student council president stood still, a look of confusion emerging in her eyes. She didn’t understand why Jason was concerned about where she had been yet refused her offer to explore together. There’s no conflict there, is there?
