Located in the northern suburbs of Tivian, outside the east gate of King's Campus, in a green town.
At noon, the sun shone on the streets of Greenshade Town. In a private room of a restaurant, Dorothy, wearing a beige dress and a small hat of the same color, sat on a seat in the room. On the table in front of her was a glass of juice. Opposite the table sat Nephthys, who had just returned from shopping in the city and had not had time to go back to change clothes.
"Well, judging from your appearance, you must have gone shopping in the city. It seems that your life has been quite comfortable recently, Senior Nef." Dorothy said while drinking juice, looking at Nefnis's outfit, while Nefnis said with a smile.
"Well... it's not that I feel comfortable at all. I only go there occasionally, Miss Dorothea." Nephnis responded like this. She looked a little nervous. In front of Dorothy, whom she believed to be a senior member of a secret society and a high-level extraordinary person, she couldn't feel at ease, even though she looked like a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old.
"Really? Then how have you read the secret teachings I gave you before? These are the key to your advancement to a true Beyonder."
Dorothy asked Nefernis and said that she came to Nefernis this time just to check how well she read the secret teachings so that she could formally promote her to a Beyonder. After hearing Dorothy's question, Nefernis was slightly startled, and then said with embarrassment.
"Um...you mean the books you gave me last time...um...I'm sorry, I haven't really read them recently, and I've only read about half of the first volume..." Nefernis tapped her fingertips and spoke in a low voice. After hearing what Nefernis said, Dorothy frowned slightly and spoke in a slightly stern tone.
"What? It's been so long and you only read half of it?"
"That's right, but Miss Dorothea, please listen to my explanation. The reason I didn't watch much is because I was reviewing for the make-up exam recently..."
Afterwards, Nefernis explained to Dorothy that she missed the exam because of her involvement in the Eight-Pointed Nest incident, and she focused on reviewing for the make-up exam, so she didn't have time to read the secret message. After listening to her, Dorothy nodded slowly, and then looked at her and spoke.
"Okay, I understand your difficulty. If you don't want to review, then there's nothing I can do. But remember to continue reading the book later."
Dorothy said with understanding. After all, she was also a college student when she was a teenager, and she had experience with the sense of crisis when facing the possibility of failing a course and having to retake it. Listening to Dorothy's words, Nephnesse breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew... Thank you for your understanding. I will definitely complete the homework you assign carefully in the future." Nephnis said thankfully. Her words sounded like what she said to the professor in school when she was young.
Mature, smart, powerful, and knowledgeable... This was the most immediate impression Dorothy left on Nefnis. Therefore, even though she was older than Dorothy and even though she was addressed as a senior, Nefnis still regarded Dorothy as a professor or teacher to a certain extent.
'Compared to the opportunity to be promoted to Extraordinary, do you care more about whether you fail the course in the short term? Ha, it seems that this senior sister Neveu is not the kind of person who is crazy about pursuing Extraordinary and Power. She has only held an attitude of interest and hobby towards secrecy and Extraordinary from beginning to end. Maybe this is not bad.'
Dorothy evaluated Nefernis in her heart, and at the same time, Nefernis opposite her seemed to be thinking about something. After hesitating for a while, she spoke to Dorothy as if she had made a decision.
"Um, Miss Dorothea, are you interested in Adele Brieuze's dance?"
"Adele Briouze?"
Dorothy paused for a moment after listening to Nefernis's words. Then she thought about the newspaper she had read in the morning and spoke.
"This seems to be a well-known dancer. I saw her advertisement in the newspaper. I heard she dances very well, and it seems she will have a performance later today."
"Yes, Miss Adele is a well-known dancer in Tivian. She is the focus of everyone's attention today. It is said that the tickets were sold out five days ago. Miss Dorothea, I got two tickets for the performance tonight this morning because of some special opportunities. As an apology for not completing the task you assigned in time this time, I have a ticket for you. We can go to the performance together then."
As she spoke, Nephnis took out the ticket that was originally prepared for her roommate Emma and handed it to Dorothy. When Dorothy saw it, a hint of surprise appeared in her expression.
"Tickets for Adele's show? Where did you get them? It must be hard to get tickets for such a popular show at this time, right?" Dorothy asked with a hint of confusion as she looked at the tickets handed over by Nefernis.
"It's like this. This morning I met the guy who followed me last time..."
Just like that, Nefernis recounted her encounter with Mosans in the morning. Dorothy couldn't help but sigh in her heart after listening to it.
"Are there still Beyonders selling scalped tickets? It seems that the low-level Beyonders in Tivian are not as comfortable as those in Igwinter. There, any apprentice is a small boss, but the apprentice here is just a gang leader who sells scalped tickets. Is it because there are too many Beyonders in the capital and the situation is involutionary?"
Dorothy thought so in her heart, but she also knew that it was more likely because Mosans was unwilling to join other secret forces.
"Wow... An extraordinary person is scalping tickets? I have learned a little bit. From what you said, he was even chased by the police and theater people? Is it so shameful?" Dorothy said with a chuckle, and Nephnis nodded in response.
"Yes, and compared to the police... this Mosans seemed to be more afraid of those people in the theater. They held Mosans down and started to search him. He screamed in pain. They were much more cruel than the police."
"He cried out in pain when being pressed by mortals. Ha, Mosans is quite good at acting." Dorothy chuckled as she listened to Nefernis's words. As far as she knew, Mosans was a thirsty man. Several mortals held him down and pressed him until he was in pain. This situation could only be attributed to his good acting skills.
"Good acting. Mosans really acted the situation as if it were real, but..."
Listening to Dorothy's words, Nefernis frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong, and then she spoke to Dorothy.
"By the way, Miss Dorothea, among those theater staff who held down Mosans at the time, there seemed to be someone who knew Mosans, and they even said that Mosans used to be a boxer, and that he liked to be sneaky when he was a boxer!"
"Boxing?"
Dorothy was startled when she heard Nefernis' words, and then she recalled what Mosans had said after she had blocked him in the alley and beat him up.
Dorothy remembered that Mosans said that he once belonged to a secret society called Gaolei Black Boxing Society, which had been destroyed by the Afterbirth Cult and the Wolf Blood Society.
"It seems that it is necessary to go and watch this performance today."
Muttering, Dorothy picked up the ticket from the table.
