The Illicitor's Code #1

039: Venator Academy

The stars shone brightly as Dim-Dim and Velicia stepped out of the Venator apartment, each wrapped in thick coats. The moonlight made everything gleam silvery, and as they nibbled on Oreos they had snatched from the refrigerator on the ground floor—which seemed to belong to Oriyan—they strolled along the sidewalk at a leisurely pace. Along the roadside, the stripes glowed with bright blue lights in the darkness.

"Let's just do this like this," Velicia said, licking the Oreo cream. "You don't have to turn into a horse or anything. Unless we're going far."

"Okay. But I'm curious about Venator Academy," Dim-Dim said. "Damian used to study there. And after seeing Valir yesterday, I'm curious about what the school is like."

Velicia shrugged. "Our schools are adjacent. But to get into Venator Academy, you have to use their student card..." Suddenly, the girl fell silent and stared mischievously at Dim-Dim. "Hey, what if we borrow Valir's student card for a moment?"

Dim-Dim looked hesitant.
