It took a few minutes before the Headmaster gave an answer to Instructor Valdin's question, but he eventually gave an answer.
"Do not allow him to join the special class of shadow assassins."
Instructor Valdin was not surprised by this decision, but he could not help but ask for the reason.
"Permit me to ask why. From what I know and believe, especially as an Instructor of the academy, nurturing somebody with a C grade affinity would be beneficial to the clan as a whole even if the individual is a slave of the clan."
The Academy Head leaned into his chair, then he released a soft sigh.
"I know this too, but his situation is different. He's a... rather unique slave."
Instructor Valdin was confused. "A unique slave? Does he secretly have a powerful organization? Or is he the child of a prominent figure of the clan?"
The Academy Head chuckled. "No. No. No. It's none of those."
Instructor Valdin's brows were furrowed deeply even as his head was hung low.
