The Quiet Emblem

Chapter 3:The Flaw in the System

The academy did not react immediately.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqnxoLyL59

That was the strange part.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpttHLoqBz

No announcement.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5GHsXS5xo

No explanation.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LJDYXklMC

It was as if nothing had happened.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm58whYx7nh

But everything had changed.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLXwoofQAY

The next day, Liyana walked through the corridor.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjbbfHYi5E

The whispers were louder now.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1AO0pKqDu

Not mocking.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTJICXL5nS

Not curious.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLtJGen2wv

Afraid.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ6IhXYqMH

“She broke it…”

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpdwTbwJY5

“The Emblem failed…”

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwoNTnHs28

“That’s not normal…”

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLFNeZM6f8

---

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4WTx7kiXm

Liyana kept walking.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M7T5Of5h2

But this time—

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLArDdBXzs

people moved out of her way.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4UvmJUt0q

---

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu8BtCMG07

Inside the classroom, the atmosphere felt heavy.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VnRj8kXdZ

The teacher paused when she entered.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxyQGYPidI

Just for a second.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8oHD4Gfvz

But it was enough.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZRMWhKJKo

“Take your seat,” he said.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxBjj95eQx

No eye contact.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAfKU46M1E

No questions.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG407Tt86P

---

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Lcibyp1yZ

Liyana sat down.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Zc2F377hU

For the first time—

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbgQfr6MC4

she wasn’t invisible.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNDwEyUW1x

And somehow…

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7sm2eUkzP

that felt worse.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLKSehxnCp

---

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG91GbrdxYi

A folded paper slid onto her desk.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFTl4TACuk

No name.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOwW8M8AAs

No sound.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb22FOTw44

Just there.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS4D3UgixZ

---

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaev2zG2ii2

She opened it slowly.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5FTSNNQzU

Three words.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvQmluiJEu

---

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tSV29wC7L

“YOU DON’T BELONG.”

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGsIzaEvEC

---

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hqoh79Rgy

Her fingers tightened around the paper.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuivwh02At2

She looked around.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfyYBoBtNT

No one was watching.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwplEToyVU

Or maybe—

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK52ABjUzR

everyone was pretending not to.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5g2oBhVyu

---

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0SLzfa8OP

That evening, the academy felt different.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOs5kgW1Cs

Quieter.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NEt205N0Q

Like something was waiting.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB69Dk0glTJ

---

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzySLNDXC42

As Liyana walked past the old wing corridor—

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLK2tg2pa0

a voice stopped her.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrFrRPbWy6

“Interesting.”

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQHnXcRDUf

---

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm8l2vjQOp

She turned.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXpXtWNAJY

Kael stood there.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYaVJTbYpq

Leaning against the wall.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoQ0gl6fFm

Calm. Observing.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVxAl9sRyq

---

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmE01HIhDF

“You’re the first,” he said.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWvmdFfbwr

“First what?”

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9CaJKJ24Y

“The first mistake.”

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3kHAjNv4L

---

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjg4NNLoua

Liyana frowned.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPX0e8WJjJA

“I’m not a mistake.”

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqTryZOcXO

---

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AlgY0nTB1

Kael smiled slightly.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51G4v3T7eG

“Then explain what happened yesterday.”

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTyEqmeH3r

---

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgr5iceFkN

Silence.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaWL9UU5my

Because she couldn’t.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGhZicoqv5

---

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOoJBXyNqR

He stepped closer.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZgZtk5uum

Not threatening.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVYMmpT2w8

But not friendly either.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDlVxejMTZ

---

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9BV31GDu3

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

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb0Vcdd6mB

“It removes what doesn’t fit.”

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpM7XjrnZZ

---

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhe9Te59dg

A chill ran down her spine.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbdtAdadS7

---

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcgSiSmSZA

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

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDrUvlQD0L

---

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLK0uxXddhW

Kael looked at her—

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKwG8nCHTQ

really looked at her this time.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxo4mYAtb9

---

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3jB7D4h0x

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

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq7AtQj3yk

---

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmtrVmcCY1

For a moment—

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2yfMKio9V

there was no arrogance in his eyes.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJY7O6YV00

Only curiosity.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQPRwKJHtL

And something else.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsxBi8DOCC

Something… uncertain.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHzElq8FAB

---

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiDdOTcKcR

Then he stepped back.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIgY5ASYiu

“Be careful, Liyana.”

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf3897q486

---

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBiAYjE9RT

His voice dropped.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxGtkAHU5W

Lower.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO8oZ94b4Q

Serious.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTDeZB2C3n

---

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8enDlJEQx

“If the system can’t understand you…”

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOOPV0CcTv

---

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKW3RxMh9JH

A pause.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJyAvrZSjH

---

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HPqeDenOn

“It will try to erase you.”

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa65JTSiFve

---

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k54OKWxPs

He walked away.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA3oU7WWtz

Leaving her standing there.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHUVX9VFMP

---

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81UOVJ8Nxr

Alone.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenhwhZBdKt

---

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQQOfZMuBs

But this time—

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPKuUAW9Cq

not unseen.

89Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pXhxdE5FF
