They all call me Great Master

```

To make herself look more like a gentleman, Anna not only wore a fake beard but also donned a specially made chest binder—this binder made her breathing uneven and forced her to walk stiffly. Fortunately, with the cover of a loose overcoat, she was not too conspicuous.

'St. Joan of Arc Girls' College.

Cassandra Credos.

Dark eyes, black hair, dimples when smiling.

Extremely beautiful…'

She was recalling the favor Marinda had 'requested' of her.

She knew her beloved was concerned about that man, so she had asked her to keep an eye on his aunt—that feeling made her quite uncomfortable, but she really could not say no to Marinda.

And when she got into action, a strange excitement thrilled her.

She admitted she was a bit masochistic.

But what's wrong with being masochistic for the one you love?

The tall Anna raised her hand to embrace the void, as if holding Marinda. The friction from the binder made her smile unbearably heated.

Her body trembled with excitement.

It took a good dozen seconds for Anna to regain her composure before she walked out of the alley and approached the entrance to 'St. Joan of Arc Girls' College'—a school with a long history, existing since the end of the Empire Era, originally established to commemorate the girl Joan who fought against the 'Shadows.' Over time, it became an institution teaching girls literacy and etiquette, and during the Holy Era, it transformed into a church-oriented academy where children of lower and middle clergy received education and baptism.

But when the Silver Age began, it was temporarily closed by the Golden Lion Family, until the arrival of the Pioneer Era, when it reopened and became the preferred school for daughters of the middle-class families.

Not just because the education here was outstanding but also because it was a gateway to the 'elite of Inner Bay'—every year during the 'Study Tour Festival,' children of the nobility would participate.

Thus, the school was highly attractive to the daughters of middle-class families.

Who doesn't dream of transforming from a phoenix's tail to its head?

What about Cassandra?

'The Kledos Family' would definitely be different.

There must be a conspiracy!

Given the pretext of hiding in South Los, her coming to Inner Bay was probably another form of concealment.

It's possible that the Golden Lion Family was the target.

It is known that the children of the Old Lion sometimes appear during the 'Study Tour Festival.'

'The dreadful Kledos Family!'

Because of Marinda, Anna paid extra attention to everything in South Los. Moreover, the information she extracted from Marinda—although Marinda was mostly silent, how could she hide anything from clever Anna?

Just the thought of such a family getting close to her love made Anna anxious.

'Should I return to South Los?'

This thought appeared and was immediately tossed out of her mind by Anna.

It wasn't that she didn't want to return.

But she couldn't.

She didn't wish for her own presence to delay Marinda's prospects.

After all, Marinda was to be ennobled.

With this in mind, the lady quickened her pace. Holding the letter of introduction, she smoothly entered the academy—the letter was not forged, but authentic, from a security guard who was supposed to report to the school today. She had merely borrowed it without malice.

Of course, the security guard who had already found new employment and excitedly boarded the ship for Sidon Fortress wouldn't mind.

"Your job is limited to the front yard and the entrance. You are not allowed to enter the school, back yard, or dormitories without permission, especially the dormitories. If you're caught entering without cause… it's not just about being fired!" the leading teacher said.

Anna nodded repeatedly.

She had inquired about the situation before coming.

The last security guard who entered the dormitories without cause is still in Inner Bay's prison—even though he claimed he saw a suspicious person, that excuse had already been used by the previous two guards, and the Inner Bay police had investigated the matter, finding no suspicious persons.

That made the guards who made such claims the most suspicious.

The special nature of the girls' dormitory made everything seem all too reasonable.

After further explaining the job, the teacher leading the way left the security accommodation.

And Anna began to work earnestly.

She planned to stay here for the long term.

Firstly, to closely monitor Cassandra, since she couldn't help but worry about a 'Credos' being near Marinda.

Before she could return to South Los, she needed to be close to someone from the 'Kledos Family' as a counterbalance.

Secondly, the identity she had worked so hard to acquire shouldn't be discarded so easily—it would be a pity.

More importantly, this identity would help her avoid the recent trouble she'd stirred up.

She had absolutely no intention of provoking that so-called Baron.

She was simply attending a salon, who could have guessed he'd be so shameless as to approach her? After enduring it for a long time, she finally delivered a sneaky low kick to him.

Then, she accidentally broke something.

She swore it wasn't deliberate—she couldn't be sure he was a 'dud.'

She was merely defending herself.

But, the trouble was real.

Even if he was a 'Talentless' 'dud,' nobles were still nobles. She was now wanted by the police, and if she didn't want to be watched by Inner Bay's secret police, she had to lay low for a while.

So—

```

"Here comes my academy life!"

Anna told herself.

And with it, the hard work that must be undertaken.

Then, the first thing that happened after she became a security guard—

"You're here to apply for the cook and cleaning lady positions?"

Anna looked at the two girls in front of her in surprise.

It wasn't that she was easily astonished, but even with their simple disguises, the faces of the two girls were still outstanding; one with a slender waist and long legs, her arm muscles visibly well-defined, and the other looked soft and weak, easily bullied.

People like them could live well anywhere. There was simply no need for them to apply as cooks or cleaners.

Especially the latter, who would surely be adored by many men.

Of course, that wasn't the point.

The point was, she detected a "scent of blood" on the former.

That person had killed before, and not just one person.

But, what did that have to do with her?

She was just a small security guard, not some great detective.

After leading the people away, Anna hurried off.

Watching Anna leave, Shara breathed a sigh of relief, clutching Amy's hand tightly.

"Will my cooking skills suffice?"

"Of course!

You're the best cook I've seen!"

Amy wasn't just comforting her friend, she truly believed it.

As for cleaning?

Amy, who had once worked at the "Joel Jock Swordsmanship Club" as a receptionist but occasionally acted as a cleaner, naturally had no issues with it.

"Let's embrace our new life together!"

Amy took Shara's hand and said softly.

Shara nodded vigorously, full of longing for their new life.

...

Meanwhile, in the carriage, Arthur touched his chin as he looked at Marinda's succinct report—

'No wonder this woman didn't show up directly; it seems she's embarrassed by such 'accidents'.

Should I then take advantage of her guilt and squeeze something out of her?'

The young 'Spirit Medium' pondered.

As for his aunt Cassandra?

The young 'Spirit Medium' wasn't worried.

After all, the family's weak spot...

was him.

Moreover, he was certain about one thing—

His aunt, Cassandra was definitely not at 'St. Joan of Arc Girls' College'!

If he hadn't discovered the 'family truth', Arthur wouldn't have been sure, but after finding out, he was certain that his aunt Cassandra going to 'St. Joan of Arc Girls' College' was probably just a ruse.

Of course, for the sake of authenticity.

A 'pseudo' would certainly appear there in her place.

As for the real person's whereabouts?

Who knows.

Maybe she's hiding somewhere, watching everything at 'St. Joan of Arc Girls' College'.

Thinking this, Arthur looked up at the anxious Edwin and gave a smile.

"Let's set off!"

The coachman breathed a sigh of relief; he was well aware of his master's habits, and the appearance of such a message was unusual in itself.

Fortunately, there were no accidents.

He definitely didn't want to become an enemy of Arthur.

Edwin immediately arranged for the convoy to set off.

Caw!

Fujin took to the air, serving as Arthur's eyes, scouting the surroundings.

And far above 'St. Joan of Arc Girls' College', located at Inner Bay, a falcon also took flight, soaring high.

The falcon, quick on the wing, landed on a lady's shoulder after flying out of Inner Bay.

Gently stroking the falcon, Cassandra Credos appeared thoughtful.

Then, the corner of her mouth curled up.

The lady pulled up her hood and merged into the shadows, vanishing from sight.
