When she returned, Lindy said they'd be starting their research that night.
"After your afternoon classes, you can come here and continue the translation for me," Lindy said., "but I'll have some things to do tonight, so you'll have to be alone."
"No problem. That's why you gave me the key, right?" Damian replied.
He wasn't worried about being alone in the research room. What he wasn't sure about was how to fake progress for Lindy! He couldn't translate much of the scripture yet, but he needed to show some progress—otherwise, he'd be useless and risk losing his assistant position.
"You're right," Lindy said with a laugh. "And don't worry, this boring translation isn't all we do. We also study artifacts with demonic energy, and we often leave the academy to gather those artifacts or help families dealing with them."
"Really? That's good to hear," Damian said. "Staring at texts all day would melt my brain."
