Chapter: 65
Unlike Chun Yeowun, the princes of six clans knew each other and interacted with one another quite often.
“What. What do you want to say?”
“Ugh, you and your arrogance.”
Chun Wonryou sighed and Mukeum responded grumpily.
“I thought you said the Loyal Clan is stupid?”
He still remembered the day he faced Yeowun at the entrance to the dorm.
“Hah... sure, okay. I’ll make this short. Listen up.”
She didn’t like how Mukeum was acting, but she thought she needed to say it and pulled up her sleeves to show the linen wrapped around her arm. Mukeum asked, “Did you get hurt?”
AS far as Mukeum knew, no one else could hurt her other than the princes from the six clans.
“Yeah. Yesterday.”
“Yesterday?”
“I was training alone and someone ambushed me.”
“You? Ambushed? Who in the right mind would do such a thing?”
Chun Wonryou was weaker than the princes from the six clans, but she was still much more powerful than any of the other students at the academy.
“The attacker covered their face. I don’t know who it is.”
“Whatever. So you were hurt by some puny coward?”
“...I warned you. I never lowered my guard.”
She was in the middle of her training, so she was well ready. Yet, the attacker was equal to or perhaps more powerful than the princes of the six clans.
“So, you were hurt so you’re telling me to be careful?”
“If the attacker came for me, they might attack you too. We are in the same competing group.”
Mukeum frowned.
“You know that the four groups will compete with each other, right?”
“Yeah.”
“We can always choose the lottery with all of the groups. Why do you think we are limited to four groups?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Gosh. Try thinking for once. If you narrow it down to four groups, then you can guess which group you might be fighting against!”
Mukeum then thought for a second and said, “...You mean that by spilling information, the academy is forcing each group to attack another group leader?”
“Well, you really are stupid. Yeah. If the leader is out of formation, it will be hard for that group to compete.”
Chun Wonryou guessed that Lee Hameng had intentionally shared the information, thus making the groups attempt to attack another group leader. And her guess came true when she was attacked the other night.
“Well, tomorrow’s the day of the test, so don’t take the chance to go train alone. I don’t want to see any princes getting expelled after the second test and bring shame to us all.”
