66 – Discovery (2)
Sirius let out a heavy breath as he remembered what had happened just a moment ago.
It was a shame because he felt strange and left first, otherwise he could have been caught on the spot.
There were even Olberus and other faculty members around him.
No matter how much students were used as shields, there would have been a limit to escaping in that state.
‘It was rather me who acted lightly.’
He smiled bitterly as he recalled the time he had given Phantom advice not to act recklessly.
I heard that a dog that buried something scolded a dog that buried chaff.
Although there were reasons for his bold actions, it is also true that the string of vigilance was somewhat loose.
Hiding behind a building, Sirius took a quick breath and recalled the couple he had seen earlier.
Apparently, the face on the man’s side matched the face he had seen when he broke into the Wizard’s Forest.
On the other hand, the girl sitting next to him was a face he had never seen before, and somehow it felt familiar.
Rather than meeting in person, it was more like meeting the face of a criminal whom I saw on a wanted list by chance.

‘I can’t remember who it is. Anyway, did you see through this hallucination?’
The first man he remembered seeing didn’t seem to notice her sense of difference.
However, the female student she met after her frowned and stared endlessly in his direction, then caught her cautiously calling out to the man next to her.
With that said, it would be correct to assume that the girl had some kind of special ability or magic that could see through her hallucinations.
‘Something went wrong. I didn’t expect this variable.’
Sirius, who had devised a plan under the assumption that the Phantom’s hallucinations would not be discovered by them, licked his lips and fell into contemplation again.
Perhaps there are only three people in the Empire who can see through this level of hallucination magic.
I wonder why a person like that is wearing an academy cadet uniform, but I don’t have the time to delve into his identity right now.
What we need to think about now is avoiding that girl’s eyes and finding a way to bring Astasia’s blessing.
I don’t know what the limit of that ability is, but unless it’s at a level where you can share your vision with others, it’s not a level where you can’t get into it.
This side just needs to hide in the group and gradually increase their hand.
For that, it would be urgent to get a cadet uniform here and disguise yourself rather than relying on hallucination magic from now on.
Having concocted an alternative plan in his head, Sirius hid himself in the shadows and quietly resumed his plan.
Just at the end of his gaze, he saw a female professor who was alone in a remote place.

Damn it, I thought you had already infiltrated it disguised as hallucination magic.
I told Lizerote as if it was okay, but it still hurts to miss him here.
My opponent must be Bonama or Sirius.
I don’t know how it came in, but if it leaves the possibility open, it’s the Phantom’s help.
His hallucination magic has the ability to fool even inanimate objects, as seen in his work at Igrexia.
If that’s how you hid Sirius’s identity and passed the barrier, there’s a good chance.
In the worst case, you should even consider using it to break through the security net of the place where Astasia’s blessing is hidden.
Anyway, since they noticed that they had invaded, it’s unreasonable to just suck your fingers and wait for it to pass quietly.
There is no choice but to ask the academy to strengthen security, or borrow another helper.
If possible, I’d like to drag them in and knock them out, but what’s more important than that is protecting Astesia’s blessing.
“From here on, entry is prohibited except for those involved. Cadets, go to the bleachers and watch the game.”
In order to ask for help from Olberus, I quickly headed to the official entrance behind the stage, and a person guarding the place stopped me.
A male professor who has an impressive look and looks down on his opponent.
Of course, Professor Giwell. Is this human
He is a professor who does not hesitate to make discriminatory remarks against commoners and aristocrats even during class.
That level was so excessive that even Lorne, who was indifferent to quite a few things, complained to me after listening to this guy’s class once.
I hate to deal with it, but I can’t help it.
“My name is Bell Dinaur, first year E class, combat department. There is an intruder in the academy, so please let me see the president.”
Since there is nothing good to do to touch this person’s planting, I asked as politely as possible, but in an urgent tone to convey the seriousness of the incident.
At the same time, Professor Giwell’s unbearably thick eyebrows wriggled and he let out a deep breath.
It was a doctor’s expression of absurdity.
“Ha! Be an intruder in this academy. That’s funny. It’s a joke that would only be popular in the common people’s world.”
“… f*ck.”
As expected, Professor Giwell, who remembered that I was a commoner, sneered at me as he said a line that made curse words come out of my mouth.
In the midst of this, I don’t want to increase my work, so I think it was the best response for me to keep my voice low.
“… It’s true. I came as an agent at the request of Rize-senpai, the student council president.”
I feel like my head is boiling with anger, but I endure it as much as I can and kill my temper and borrow the name of Lizerote.
However, as if this wasn’t enough, Giwell didn’t step aside even belatedly.
“Oh, it doesn’t work just once, so this time I’m borrowing the name of the student council president. You’re quite proud that you’ve solved the problem in the Wizard’s Forest. A Dinaur cadet.”
Damn it.
This baby, immediately after the wizard’s forest incident, gave me to class when the school was noisy.
Are you jealous that a commoner is suddenly getting attention?
I have nothing to do after eating nightlife. An idiot.
“There was no word from the security department that there was an intruder. The academy’s contact network isn’t as easy as you think.”
Needless to say, polite manners annoy me even more.
Since the security department didn’t contact you in the first place, don’t you think it’s more dangerous?
It’s not like the brain is made of udon noodles.
If she knew it would be like this, she wouldn’t split up with Liserotte and take on the job, but bring him over even if it was cumbersome.
In the end, are you saying that now we have no choice but to overcome the difficulties somehow with the help of the helpers we have saved in advance?
“… After, I know. Let’s go back.”
“You give up quickly. Next time you really see an intruder, be sure to bring it in front of me. Because I also really want to see the big guy who stepped into the academy.”
I stare at the guy who spat mocking words at me until the end, then I turn away.
If this problem is solved, that bastard will be stabbed and cut by Olberus.
You know that ignoring the danger despite recognizing it in advance is the biggest crime, right?
You’ve been looking for it, bastard.

Aden, who was exploring around her premises with Marie, received a call from Bell.
After a moment of forgiveness, Arden, separated from Mari, pressed her hand to the communication device in her ear and focused on the voice coming from the other side of her.
“Is that true? Bell. To think they’ve already set foot here….”
– Yes. I just bumped into the student council president, but I missed it.
“Then you should hurry up and tell the president….”
– I just got blocked by Professor Giwell and I’m on my way back after failing. I was going to use force, but I couldn’t bear to do that because it would be a bigger problem if I was dragged away.
Arden’s eyes furrowed when he heard Bell’s bitter voice.
Professor Giwell would send malicious words towards Bell during class, and the title of professor was a waste of time.
Because of that kind of person, I can’t even get the help of my biggest helper, Olberus. It’s not something that can be overlooked.
– I think it will be hard to wait for Rize-senpai to return here, so I’m thinking of searching alone. If you find anything strange there, report it right away. Be careful.
“Okay.”
Listening to Belle’s advice, Arden nodded her head firmly.
Since they are so cautious, I don’t know if I can find them here, but I have no choice but to try my best.
Since I’m wandering around as much as possible in places where there are few people, it’s possible that the guy whose identity was discovered by Bell might come across it while moving in search of a hiding place.
“Are you done contacting me?”
“It looks like that. Sorry to keep you waiting, Mary.”
“Okay. I have no desire to apologize for this. Anyway, he’s a really annoying guy.”
Again, Aden smiled awkwardly as she listened to Marie’s gossip about Belle.
I want to inform her of her present danger, but I have to refrain from doing so because it will slow her down because she has too many things to explain.
Moreover, since it was a plan concocted after discussing it with Bell, she hesitated to reveal the truth without discussing it with him.
In the end, while continuing to search for her, taking her dragged here and there without knowing her reason.
“… Wait, Mary. Come this way.”
“What, what? Why?”
As Aden turned the corner, her eyes widened when she saw someone’s back in the distance, and she hurriedly stepped back.
A man who had been looking around her entered the building looking nervous.
It is one of the most outdated annexes of the Academy’s buildings, and recently there has been talk of tearing down the building and building a new one.
In other words, it also means that it is a place where there is no reason for people to set foot in normal times.
‘He looked like a professor…. Why are you there?’
Unable to hold back the deepening doubt, Arden held his breath as much as possible and decided to follow the man with Marie.
Perhaps it was because I received such a call from Bell a little while ago, and for some reason I felt uneasiness.
