When Kabala awoke, her arm had already been bound with thick gauze. She still felt a throbbing pain, but it was insignificant compared to when the Red Mist sprayed on her.
This surprised her.
The injury on her arm was not life-threatening so it shouldn’t have been treated immediately—it wouldn’t have been strange if it was treated last or even left to recuperate by itself. After all, every squad had been repetitively reminded of the characteristics and importance of Angel’s ability, she didn’t think that people from the Sand Nation would receive special treatment either—if it was in a more critical condition, it would have been more probable.
But if it wasn’t because of Angel’s ability, how could her injury heal so fast?
Could it be that…
She suddenly felt a hint of uneasiness.
She needed to quickly leave where she was and return to the army encampment.
“Farry right?” A nurse noticed her movement, walked over, and looked at the name tag that hung on her bed. “How do you feel?”
“There’s nothing serious now, I can return to the army at any time.” She turned over and got down from bed and acted indignant. “Many of my comrades have died in the demon’s hands, I want to make them pay immediately!”
“My condolences.” The nurse nodded. “But before then, you must first visit the main tent of the camp, Miss Nana Pine would like to see you.”
Kabala jolted. “She… wants to see me? But my injury has pretty much—”
“I’m not sure of the reason either, but she told me specially to tell you to do so,” the nurse said with a smile. “The other soldiers wouldn’t be able to see her even if they wanted to. Come with me.”
Kabala stared at the nurse’s unguarded back. After a moment of hesitation, she followed after her.
After passing through several checkpoints, she saw the fabled ‘Angel.’
Simply from looking at her appearance, she certainly did fit the image that was rumored among the First Army. She was petite and cute, her skin fair with a ruddy complexion and she had a pair of youthful eyes. She was obviously a daughter from a noble family, and it would be accurate to deduce that she hadn’t experienced any hardship at all. Kabala thanked her luck, perhaps things were not as bad as she thought.
“Um… You wanted to see me?”
Unfortunately, Nana Pine’s first sentence shattered all of her hopes.
“I’m very curious. You’re clearly a witch, why did you hide your identity and enter the First Army as a normal person?”
“I… I don’t really understand…” Kabala replied unyieldingly. Did Jodel really report this to the higher-ups…
“Your injury.” Nana pointed at her arm. “Although there are many punctures, most of them were caused by a sharp weapon. A demon’s claw cannot do this, I think the weapon is probably a dagger or a bayonet. Also, when I was cleaning the wound I discovered traces of erosion by Red Mist. It penetrates into the muscle under the skin and can even reach the bones, only witches will suffer such an injury. Even if you deliberately marred your injury, you cannot falsify the corrosion.”
Kabala shut her mouth.
Nana didn’t learn about her identity from Jodel. Her reasons were logical and clear, leaving Kabala no space for any further lies. At first she had assumed that Nana was innocent and naive, thinking that she could perhaps fool her with words or pretending to be ignorant, now she realized that her plan had been laughable.
