Chapter 203: Blood For Blood

The academy's investigation team arrived with several healers and high-level recovery potions, quickly restoring some of the student's depleted spirit reserves. Contrary to Damon's expectations, they didn't even suspect him - not of being involved, nor of his blood being used in the summoning ritual.

He and Lilith were only asked a few cursory questions. It seemed the academy already had an idea of what was happening or at least a lead, which meant the possibility of him being accused was off the table for now.

Professor Chrome had come along with the investigation team, wearing a worried expression. The hearty old man reassured Damon with a firm pat on the shoulder, like a kind grandfather easing a child's fears.
