Isaiah stopped, but didn't turn around; instead, he asked Mina with his back facing her, "What is it?"
Mina's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
She could feel Isaiah's naked coldness towards her.
But... why? Did she do something wrong?
Mina suppressed her unease and heart palpitations, and cautiously asked, "Tonight... what exactly happened?"
"Are you asking me?"
"The student is asking the teacher."
"Oh, I thought you knew."
"The student... doesn't know." Mina said, uneasy, "The student has always been following your instructions, not understanding what she did wrong, please enlighten me."
"Following my instructions, huh." Isaiah said lightly, "So that's how it is."
"... Teacher?"
Isaiah waved his hand, dismissing the other Star Relic Mages, leaving only himself and Mina.
Afterwards, he slowly spoke, "Let's be straightforward, Mina, what kind of offer did that Tongue give you that made my most beloved student betray me?"
