Chapter 251: An Unexpected Supervisor
"A favor?"
Iris's fork paused above her plate. Her gaze, which had softened only a few seconds earlier, settled on me again.
"Yes."
"What is it?"
I pushed my coffee cup a little farther aside.
"You know about tomorrow's dungeon-clearing exam, right?"
"I do."
"I want you to make some changes to a few of the teams."
Iris frowned.
She slowly set her fork down. The care she took with that movement was enough to tell me I wouldn't like her answer.
"Are you trying to do something strange again?"
"I'm not sure I'd call it strange."
"Cass, what did I tell you?"
She rested a hand on the table and leaned toward me. She hadn't raised her voice, but I could barely hear the conversations at the nearby tables anymore.
"Can't you do it?" I asked.
Iris went quiet for a moment.
Then her eyes narrowed slightly.
"The question isn't whether I can. It's what you're trying to do."
I shrugged.
