After calming down slightly, Mevis accepted the tissue that Noa handed her, gently wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes and sniffing softly.

She paused for a moment, then bent down to pick up Noa, placing her on her lap.

Noa froze. "Mevis, Teacher… What are you doing?"

Mevis gently pinched Noa’s cheek. "I’ve always wondered what it would feel like to hold my younger self."

Noa: "…"

Oh my god, am I really going to grow into someone this eccentric? What about my dignity? What about my pride as a person? It’s all gone!

Instead of avoiding the situation, Noa sighed deeply and quipped, "I think I still prefer the cool and collected version of you, Mevis."

"Ah, that. At the time, I couldn’t get too close to you. Otherwise, Elizabeth might have discovered something, and I wouldn’t have been able to stay undercover near Shadow."

Hearing this, Noa raised an eyebrow. "Elizabeth? Discovered what? What do you mean?"

"In the same cohort as Mes and I, there was a student named Sally. She was actually Elizabeth, sent to the academy by Shadow."

Mevis spoke as she hugged Noa like a giant teddy bear, holding her on her lap and casually pinching her cheeks as she continued.

"In the original timeline, the four of us sisters, along with Hefei, nearly fell victim to Elizabeth’s schemes."

"Fortunately, that woman was pretty dim-witted. Little Aurora ran circles around her until she failed so completely that she ended up writing articles about us."

Rosvisser’s eyes moved slightly as she contemplated the situation before asking, "You mentioned being undercover near Shadow for many years. Why didn’t you try to contact us earlier? That way, we might’ve been able to avoid so many troubles."@@novelbin@@

Since it was already confirmed that Mevis was Noa from the future, she should be well aware of everything that was about to happen in this timeline.
