The Quiet Emblem

Chapter 3:The Flaw in the System

The academy did not react immediately.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EVntUQ5uS

That was the strange part.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduPRvVYN0t

No announcement.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo09nTsLST

No explanation.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFZXfm41Dr

It was as if nothing had happened.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXEnxCTc4I

But everything had changed.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTPNFvdgMO

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JSyhmji66

The next day, Liyana walked through the corridor.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAZCjpzJMU

The whispers were louder now.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmALgHnuUzA

Not mocking.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XrRgr5u6I

Not curious.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5SJcj5Wum

Afraid.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTbEgi2fYS

“She broke it…”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU85GGl3IwR

“The Emblem failed…”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6yO3h5rzK

“That’s not normal…”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gUn7Yc82j

---

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBWE7HEoox

Liyana kept walking.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSxFmkSiAb

But this time—

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzfN3Tlm5h

people moved out of her way.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp8JoIQfEQ

---

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLJX4yEaOB

Inside the classroom, the atmosphere felt heavy.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUrbUsKbra

The teacher paused when she entered.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5aBGP6jHL

Just for a second.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajgOBG3nSo

But it was enough.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25ZmXbRdCf

“Take your seat,” he said.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvVjfkzMdd

No eye contact.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVUPsjJJp7

No questions.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEhmmqiv8f

---

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1C2NcNo8v

Liyana sat down.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp3kJhE1M9

For the first time—

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBaEG60R2d

she wasn’t invisible.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ48PMOyZj1

And somehow…

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfHhixRVs4

that felt worse.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw66c8E4stm

---

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5MLipZX1X

A folded paper slid onto her desk.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUb5eBaoE0

No name.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfTWDjxly6

No sound.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VEDGzTB2H

Just there.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIHWsfCUbj

---

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg1O82fzeZ

She opened it slowly.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Kb4Zbsy9r

Three words.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZwnCtcH5M

---

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUEmEtMvYT

“YOU DON’T BELONG.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jUUuNRXtl

---

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8VYs5pJnZ

Her fingers tightened around the paper.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeb53fqiUp

She looked around.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM7jP2LOO8

No one was watching.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzGLzA2Kky

Or maybe—

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs7TpNHyqx

everyone was pretending not to.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRYr50WjLE

---

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeo24jpMaF

That evening, the academy felt different.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2MdWOns3E

Quieter.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aPg2GRXqq

Like something was waiting.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZIcuTEl8g

---

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgkkbX49lc

As Liyana walked past the old wing corridor—

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡantjhCkb5W

a voice stopped her.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfmFnjiF25

“Interesting.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF05Q51mPr

---

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHSSOWZuuY

She turned.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqPuff7rOQ

Kael stood there.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9D5vnnxWG

Leaning against the wall.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLmzSpFSQw

Calm. Observing.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOI8NjFzFP

---

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w6xsKHk5I

“You’re the first,” he said.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz2jcCfonI

“First what?”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqk4g2u95w

“The first mistake.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYIsdi64Fs

---

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp7ZvQJA44

Liyana frowned.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Sq1x6eXUj

“I’m not a mistake.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW1ujbsKKn

---

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG9vyjV7S8

Kael smiled slightly.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sgnmxUlqL

“Then explain what happened yesterday.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAdfM84frc

---

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJBmbSjH3K

Silence.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwH1y9u1U9

Because she couldn’t.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT1X827jxV

---

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZhjJE6dQo

He stepped closer.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvDKdJD5vP

Not threatening.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4oESl1neN

But not friendly either.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHgnoeZXsW

---

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXODDRn9yv

“This place doesn’t fail,” he said quietly.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxgrDdtH8R

“It removes what doesn’t fit.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL5P3PnzNs

---

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT30dZmWeA1

A chill ran down her spine.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld9D9JFyZB

---

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEYwX1TLBS

“Then why am I still here?” she asked.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKii6t1nRj

---

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KMg0v7vFn

Kael looked at her—

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAQWsvpdN2

really looked at her this time.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X1Xan4r4N

---

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwE8rSU4KB

“That’s what I’m trying to figure out.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPGTLOf5mM

---

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxXhAEZcay

For a moment—

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHnGm9RBzQ

there was no arrogance in his eyes.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX7OqX9okh

Only curiosity.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbclISgR3wv

And something else.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORO0DjLW23

Something… uncertain.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYMJkBoh8C

---

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasQTN2CHfv

Then he stepped back.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGTKQkKh9r

“Be careful, Liyana.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtwkH2YBqW

---

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8PlJH8j6u

His voice dropped.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBdVx0u2j7

Lower.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT10Z8uxony

Serious.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEOL0yQ3Zr

---

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnLc7Ute7z

“If the system can’t understand you…”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI35HyUiwW8

---

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMBAEpJhJI

A pause.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGIJt1K8GA

---

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilhGgmQWPA

“It will try to erase you.”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZZ3VY0ENP

---

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFN2FQCbsC

He walked away.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYJnZvDzbl

Leaving her standing there.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXC1lgpKcM

---

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IXe8lPsa7

Alone.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBeoa8jf5L

---

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlim5qWuqwJ

But this time—

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmidZnYSVxm

not unseen.

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgdCpbZ5kH
