Neyeid followed the instructions. He immediately checked Eliot and Lisa. As expected, they actually had them in their bodies. The problems would be their familiars.

Bella immediately used her abilities to control their bodies to summon their familiars. Of course, due to the gap between their strengths, the familiars didn't realize they had entered her illusion.

Within those illusions, the familiars believed they hadn't been called, and it was just something they felt mistakenly.

Neyeid was extra careful with their bodies, ensuring that they didn't die.

However, they didn't know whether to be rejoiced or concerned after they didn't find any cube within their familiars. Only the summoners were infected.

"This…" Nathan looked down, falling into deep thought.

Bella couldn't help but ask, "Evelyn. Are they from the same group that attacked us in the past? If they did this only to the summoners, they only wanted to eliminate the summoners, right?"

Evelyn shook her head. "It's too early to draw that conclusion. We have to check other summoners who have been infected as well. If out of fifty people, none of their familiars have such a thing, we can conclude their targets are only the summoners.

"Still, this is weird. If they're only targeting the summoners, it's over for the summoners. However, if they target both the summoners and familiars, when the summoners call their familiars and they explode it for both of them, all of a sudden, even the familiars will remain in this world."

"True. If my familiar turns into an alien, I will definitely recall them back and seek help. But if I can't do it, then…" Bella shrugged. It would be as Evelyn said.

Nathan scratched the back of his head. "I'm more concerned about the fact they're still progressing in this matter. Since their members have been taken out by us, they can either attack me or continue with other plans.

"I'm assuming this is one of their plans, since it will create a lot of chaos. If there is a huge movement from our side, they will know and destroy the main cube.

"That's why we have to do this secretly, fully aware that the people who aren't infected could suddenly get infected.

"Even if we end up clearing all the potential infected people within the Duxia Academy, another one might appear."

Evelyn understood his concern. It was definitely bad, but they didn't really have any solution. "Do you have a suggestion?"

"I will ask Sera to talk to them… maybe any discomfort or anything happening recently. Although the cube is not big, it's still within their bodies. So, we can assume there's a change in the organs, which will cause discomfort. If we can get a symptom, we might be able to locate them at a much faster rate.

"If we cooperate with the higher-ups of the academies, they can only notify a few people to secretly find out about their students' conditions. That's the only plan I can think of right now." Nathan shook his head helplessly.

"As expected, Nathan. You get a good plan already." Neyeid grinned and gave a thumbs up.

"It's not even a good plan. It's just a standard one. And I don't think this is enough." Nathan shook his head helplessly, looking disappointed.

Evelyn thought for a moment before asking, "Can these things be exchanged for mature class cores? I have a few ready, but I need one more week to get a total of ten mature class cores. If we can exchange them, I should be able to get the rest of the cores within schedule."

"That's your concern?" Nathan smiled wryly.

Bella chuckled. Evelyn must have thought Nathan had played a huge role and that the previous reward had to be handed first before she could think of another reward.

On the other hand, Nathan raised one finger. "I can negotiate with the principal."

"Alright." Evelyn turned to Neyeid. "We will need to handle this carefully. First of all, since we have confirmed them, we can track them down with Sonia and kidnap them like earlier."

"But you will need Nathan every time. He's the only one who can close the wound without a scar. Look at them." Neyeid pointed at the Lees and the others.

Evelyn turned to Nathan. "In that case, I will grab you during the night. They're asleep, so…" Evelyn stopped when she noticed Nathan's annoyed expression. "Why do you have that face?"

Bella chuckled. "Come on, Evelyn. You should know the reason for such a healthy boy to make that face when you want to grab him every night. He simply won't have flirting time with his girls."

"…" Evelyn's eyebrows twitched.

Nathan sighed and said, "Three nights every week. That's the extent I can help. Just make it consistent."

"Alright." Evelyn paused. "In that case, you should stay away from other academies for the time being. If you suddenly change and love to go on a joint mission, it will be quite suspicious."

"I know." Nathan nodded. "I'm preparing for my battle, so I will just focus on that."

Evelyn agreed. "Christopher, you will maintain the barrier. Bella will go with me as usual to make sure they're confused. Neyeid is to take easy with your activity during the day, since you will be quite busy after this. That's all for now. Dismissed."

After settling the problem, Evelyn immediately brought them back to the mansion. He made sure that everyone slept in their room perfectly as the illusion.

Nathan ended up sitting next to Sera, having a concerned face.

'I wonder how I should convince her this time. She has been a great help. Besides, I get two cubes. Should I sell one to the principal and the other one to the Pope? This should make Sera's position more stable within the cube and increase my value in the Pope's eyes.

'Still, the Holy Kingdom, huh? I don't really want to do this, since 90% if not 95% of the stories I have read in the past usually paint the church as the bad guy. No, is it 99%?'

Nathan sighed while looking at her sleeping face. He gently rubbed her cheek. 'Maybe I'm just too scared because of all those stories that I have been building a thin wall so that I can check the Holy Kingdom first… Then again, this world is full of wonderful people with decent IQs, unlike those novels. I might have to put down my prejudice.'
