The way the news of Laurence's dismissal was presented to the students was reminiscent of the disappearance of Sisnemis; here she was, and then she was gone, for an unclear reason, and they tried to cover it up, just like the April events with the three murders. If you remember how she quite accurately figured out Carvia, then perhaps she learned something else that those at the top preferred to hide. And the appointment of Ianira to her position confirmed suspicions. Duncan's dismissal had been long overdue – he had repeatedly shown incompetence in his position at the academy, and at the last ceremony, the old general finally crossed the line, and as a result, he was sent away, certainly not without Futaba's involvement. In his case, the demon was definitely not going to be bored. Now, Levizia's words about the duration of his cohabitation with the demon took on a new meaning. They sounded very strange at the time, after the idealistic nonsense that the headmistress had been spouting, it seems like some kind of cunning idea. It was hard to believe that she seriously thought that he had developed an understanding of Aliduum during this time; rather, it was about the demon. Did he complain, although about what? It seemed as if, after receiving special honors at the ceremony, Aliduum ran to his patron, with tears in his eyes, telling her that people were offending him and asking to isolate himself from them. It's like a joke. Although, why would she even care about such an insignificant detail as their cohabitation when so much is happening in the academy and in her own royal family? It's unclear, something is not right here. She looked quite gloomy upon returning from her trip or wherever she had been, so it's unlikely to be a joke. And since they so readily provided the opportunity to make their move...
— Well, I'll go back. — Gideon said to the demon, slung the bag he had gathered over his shoulder, and headed for the exit of room 305. — Have a good stay.
