"What's going on?"
Cael looked around, his voice sharp with confusion.
He was not aware of the three students' experience, and naturally, he wasn't informed about the unknown energy.
But now, seeing everyone laugh while crying at the same time, he felt something cold settle in his chest.
The laughter itself was wrong. It was not joy. It was not sorrow. It was something in between, something that should not exist.
'Something was wrong. Why was I not affected?'
Even Seraphina was not in a good state.
Although she was not laughing or crying, her expression was stiff. Her jaw was clenched.
Her hands were curled into fists at her sides. She was forcefully suppressing something, and it was taking all of her concentration.
'What to do? What could I do?'
Cael heard Seraphina mutter "unknown energy" earlier.
'Was this some kind of skill? If it was, then there was a way to counter it.'
