CHAPTER 352
~Xade's POV~
"That's not all," Dristan continued. "There's word the fifth Guild Master may return to school before the semester ends."
That snapped everyone's attention. Kai frowned. "The fifth? I thought he was sick."
"He's being recalled," Dristan said grimly. "And there's something else you should know about the bodies in the forest the other day. They weren't just mauled. They were burned by flame and crushed with earth."
I frowned. "Fae magic?"
"No," he said flatly. "No fae is strong enough to wield both elements that way. Whoever did it… wanted the assassins dead."
The reveal made everyone pause to think. We had probably all been too wrapped up in our own mess to pay solid attention. Meaning my report wasn't so much to begin with. Guess I'll have to send in another one.
"Assassins? How do you know?" I asked quietly.
