Hewinia sat by the window, quietly watching the slowly setting sun.
She had been planning for today for a whole month.
During this month, after learning about the academy through various means, she finally made her move last night, attacking three secret Mountain Guards, creating the illusion of a Cesar invasion.
This was both a means to find a scapegoat for her future actions and to draw out those Golden Notes who had yet to show themselves.
For example, the Dean and a note called Roland, the school doctor. Without using this method, she truly couldn't have discovered that these two players, obviously past their age, were also Golden Notes participating in the ceremony.
And if Hewinia followed her original plan and only targeted Phinis and Karen, everyone would surely have placed their primary suspicion on her, regardless of how covert her actions were.
As for making all the Golden Notes alert, it was an unavoidable situation.
As for their coping strategies...
