Chapter 92 Mavis Discovers the Anomaly
Chapter 92 Mavis Discovers the Anomaly
Augustus's recognition of himself, along with Zeref and Mavis, naturally couldn't escape the notice of Orochimaru and Kabuto, who were both cunning and shrewd.
Moreover, the family of three had no intention of hiding anything.
Mavis was determined to make up for the lack of family affection August had experienced over the years, and during this time she took great care of August.
While Jelf didn't act as dramatically as Mavis, his gaze towards August was undisguisedly filled with affection.
Looking at the harmonious family of three, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, his expression unreadable.
At first, he thought that Jelf was the same kind of person as him: intelligent, calm, with extraordinary research ability, and able to see the heights that most mediocre people could not see.
But first it was Mavis, and now it's August. Orochimaru is finally convinced that Zeref is completely different from him.
Even though Zeref possesses extraordinary talent, he is still like most ordinary people, and he still indulges in these trivial emotions.
Emotions are weaknesses. No matter how strong a person is, once they have weaknesses in their heart, they are no longer invincible.
With a feeling that seemed both fortunate and regretful, Orochimaru returned to his laboratory.
Kabuto, standing to the side, looked at August with a complicated expression. Did August's success prove that his idea was correct...?
Thinking back to the days he spent with the director at the orphanage when he was a child, Kabuto's heart became even more troubled.
Ever since his conversation with August, for some reason, he suddenly began to recall the children who, like him, were cared for by the headmaster.
Since the headmaster died, he has deliberately stopped paying attention to those children and doesn't know how they are doing now...
Auguste glanced at the overly enthusiastic Mavis with a hint of helplessness. Although he was actually quite happy, Auguste, who was mature and reliable both in appearance and heart, still tried to stop Mavis's overly enthusiastic care in such a short period of time.
“Mom, didn’t you say you had something you wanted to talk to Sasuke about? Since Sasuke is here, what would you like to say?” August changed the subject.
As soon as August said this, Sasuke, who was practicing shuriken as usual, threw the shuriken he was holding. Without looking at the shuriken that hit the bullseye, he looked at Mavis with a puzzled expression.
"Mavis, did you need something from me?"
Sasuke put the remaining shuriken and kunai back into his bag and walked over.
Seeing Sasuke walking straight towards her with a hint of doubt in his eyes, Mavis opened her mouth, then paused again.
Finding doubt creeping into her heart again, Mavis frowned in annoyance.
For some reason, after arriving in Otogakure, every time she wanted to tell Sasuke the truth about Itachi, she would suddenly stop herself from speaking.
The uncontrollable consequences that may arise after Sasuke learns the truth.
Thoughts like these would always suddenly pop into Mavis's mind.
When this situation first occurred, Mebius didn't pay much attention to it.
After all, matters concerning Itachi would inevitably have a huge impact on Sasuke, so it's normal for her to be a little worried.
However, when she made the decision to tell Sasuke the truth again, the same thing happened again.
The worries and hesitations that had been firmly suppressed suddenly surged back like a tidal wave, making it impossible for Mavis to tell Sasuke the truth about Itachi without any reservations.
After this happened several times, Mebbes became convinced that something was wrong with her.
She is not an indecisive person, so why did she waver uncontrollably when telling Sasuke about this?
Seeing that Mavis remained silent and only had a serious expression, Sasuke was speechless for a moment: "How many times has this happened, Mavis? Do you really have something to tell me?"
At this point, Sasuke glanced at Mavis with some suspicion.
If Mavis hadn't always been reliable, Sasuke would have thought she was just playing a joke on him.
Mavis forced a smile at Sasuke and said, "It seems today isn't the right time. Next time, I'll definitely make things clear to you then."
Watching a bewildered Sasuke leave, Mavis took a deep breath and said to August and Zeref, who were watching her with concern, "I...I'm feeling really unwell..."
Upon hearing this, August's expression changed drastically. He reached out and grabbed Mavis's wrist, and only after sensing that Mavis's magic was functioning normally and that her body was unharmed did he breathe a sigh of relief.
However, Auguste did not let his guard down; he knew that Mavis would not make such a judgment out of thin air.
August looked at Jelf and asked with some concern, "Dad, I haven't noticed anything unusual. Can you tell what's wrong?"
In fact, without August speaking, Jelf had already approached Mavis with a serious expression.
While holding Mavis's hand, Zeref asked, "Mavis, what did you find out? Is it related to what you wanted to tell Sasuke?"
Mavis's unusual behavior in this matter not only puzzled Sasuke, but also Zeref and August.
Although they found Mavis's hesitation strange, neither Jelf nor August brought it up out of trust and respect for her.
After all, since Mebius didn't explain herself, she must have had her reasons.
Of course, this thought quickly turned into regret and lingering fear after Mebbes said he suspected something was wrong with him.
"So, Mavis, what is it that you want to tell Sasuke?"
Faced with Jelf's question, Mavis opened her mouth to speak, but then fell silent again.
That feeling again! That feeling of thoughts spiraling out of control!
Gritting her teeth and fighting against this inexplicable mental block, Mavis opened her mouth and tried hard to speak: "It's related to Sasuke... the Uchiha..."
Seeing Mavis's tightly furrowed brows and slightly pale face, Jelf was startled and immediately said, "Don't push yourself, Mavis..."
Before Jelf could finish speaking, Mavis suddenly clutched her head in pain and then fainted.
“Mavis!”
"Mother!"
The two, their expressions changing drastically, immediately helped Mavis up. Jelf scooped Mavis into his arms and quickly headed towards the base.
Inside the room, Jelf carefully placed Mavis on the bed. Looking at Mavis's tightly closed eyes, both Jelf and August's expressions were extremely solemn.
There was nothing wrong with Mavis's body, but that's precisely why her coma was all the more worrying.
If it's not a health issue...
As he pondered, Jelf pressed his forehead against Mavis's, who was lying down, and closed his eyes to carefully sense her presence.
Under August's anxious gaze, Jelf suddenly opened his eyes and stood up abruptly.
A voice filled with icy killing intent was squeezed out from between his teeth.
"A ninja's illusion technique!"
