Anyway, after our short conversation, Professor Lena decided to drag me off somewhere.
Fortunately, it wasn't some dark, shady room or anything like that.
…Do I sound disappointed? Must be your imagination.
She led me to an open area where a few seniors were busy making preparations. They looked relaxed but had a certain air of mischief about them, the kind that made you instinctively suspicious.
One of them looked up as we approached. "Oh, he's here. Perfect timing."
I blinked. "What do you mean?"
The senior gave me a smile that was far too bright to be innocent. "We need your help. Want to be our spy?"
"…A spy?" I tilted my head.
"Well, it sounds a bit dramatic when you put it that way," another senior said with a chuckle. "But yeah, something like that."
They exchanged a glance, then explained. "Actually, we need at least one freshman in on things. Just to make sure nothing gets out of hand. We don't want accidents."
Ah, so that was it.
