Amanda’s POV:
I nodded thoughtfully. “So that’s how it works. I guess I should start learning more about it too.”

Looks like I need to get a watch that can boost my wolf spirit. Maybe that could help me stabilize Alice faster.
The three of us chatted as we finished every bite from the lunch boxes. Afterward, we worked on practice. questions until nearly midnight, then cleaned up and went to bed.
The next morning, I woke up unusually early. After getting ready, I headed straight for the classroom.
When I pushed open the door, the room was completely quiet. No one else had arrived yet-only Jayden sitting in the front row, his head down, writing something.
I walked over quietly and noticed crumpled paper balls scattered all around his feet. There were so many it looked like he had written and trashed his work over and over again. Something tugged at my heart, and I bent down to pick them up one by one.
“You messed up the logic for this problem from the start,” I said without thinking. Jayden froze, then looked up at me, startled.
“You know how to solve it?” His voice sounded low and unsure.
I didn’t answer. Instead, I grabbed a pen from his desk and drew a clean line on the diagram he had gotten wrong. The sound of the pen scratching across paper echoed in the quiet classroom.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw his shoulders stiffen slightly. Even his breathing grew lighter.
A moment later, I heard a soft gasp behind me. “I got it!”
I turned around and met Jayden’s gaze. His eyes were bright, almost like stars had fallen into them, filled with disbelief and excitement. When he realized I was looking back, he quickly lowered his head, his ears turning red.
The morning lessons dragged on-just a pile of advanced theories on wolf energy conversion. Even Clara couldn’t stop yawning.
But Jayden, who was usually focused, seemed distracted. I caught him glancing my way a few times, looking both curious and hesitant. Every time I noticed, he snapped his gaze away like a startled bird.
When the lunch bell finally rang, Clara and Jennifer rushed over. “Amanda, let’s hit the cafeteria! I heard they’re serving roasted lamb ribs today-the special kind from Eclipse Pack!”
“Heck yeah.” I smiled, stuffed my books into the drawer, and headed out with them.
The smell of roasted lamb hit us as soon as we entered the cafeteria. We each grabbed two large pieces and didn’t stop eating until we were full.

Just as we reached the hallway again, Jennifer suddenly yelped and grabbed her wrist. “Wait-where’s my watch? It’s gone!”
Clara smacked her lightly on the head. “Seriously? Didn’t you take it off during the last class and put it in your backpack?”
Jennifer looked confused. “Did I? Let’s hurry back and check.”
I helped her search around her seat-under the desk, between chairs, even the corners of the podium- but something about the situation felt off. It was too much of a coincidence.
“If you didn’t take it out, it has to still be in the classroom. Let’s check again.” I tried to calm her down, but after turning everything upside down four or five times, she still couldn’t find it.
By then, other classmates had started coming back. When they heard Jennifer had lost her watch-the one that boosted wolf spirit-they all gathered around.
Some offered to help search, others threw out ideas. Then a sharp voice cut through the noise. “If we really can’t find it, maybe everyone should check each other’s bags. Who knows, maybe someone decided to steal it.”
My brows lifted, and I turned toward the voice.
