73 – Trap_3
“If you touch even one hair on that child, I will make you regret being born.”
Ines, who grabbed me by the neck and lifted me up, gave a low growl.
At the same time, the ruthless mana that erupted from her oppressed me in all directions.
Since she was caught by the neck, she couldn’t move, but even if she hadn’t been caught, it was to the point where she wondered if she would be crushed to death with just mana.
Such a desperate situation.
In a situation where it is difficult to breathe properly
I rather calm my head.
I assumed that Ines would be angry.
How could I not know her personality and settings? She made her hunting plan, targeting her as her prey? She knew, of course, that she would vent her anger.
Of course, I didn’t expect her to come out so recklessly.
That would also be the case, since I had only threatened verbally, and it was not yet clear whether Olivia was in danger, I was thinking that we could continue the conversation even a little.
However, to start acting as soon as I put the simple information that Olivia could be dangerous, I think I underestimated Ines’ affection for Olivia.
This was obviously my mistake.
I should have looked at the data more closely and checked the reaction more, but time was running out, so I was bitterly reflecting on the fact that I had just tried the plan.
‘Isn’t that the worst?’
It wasn’t the worst, though.
Because she’s not dead yet.
That fact alone showed that Ines had something against my words.
She also said that she was trying to figure out if what I was saying was false or true.
Otherwise, she would have died right away.
Then she could use it as much as she wanted.
You just have to show proof that Olivia is in danger and make Ines stop going wild.
Of course, this made me even more angry, and it wasn’t that there was a chance that I would die, but if I didn’t gamble like this, I wouldn’t catch a big game.
“Let’s try…”
After taking the exact time in my mind, I spat out the words with difficulty.
Then, when I put Olivia to sleep with the medicine, I threw away her headdress that I had retrieved.
A hair ornament that falls very briefly in front of Ines.
“You!!!”
Ines’ expression twisted indescribably when he recognized that it was Olivia’s headdress.
At the same time, the strength in his grip began to grow stronger, as if breaking his neck.
On the verge of breaking his neck like that.
-Quaaa!!!!!
The roar rang again.
It was the sound of a bomb.
Another timed bomb signaled its end.
Black smoke rose from the academy machine.
“Your brother…”
-Quaaa!!!!!
It wasn’t just once.
“Killing…”
-Quaaa!!!!!
Not even twice.
“If you… Want…”
-Quaaa!!!!!
It was obvious that even three times was not the end.
How many are there?
How many of them will explode before it ends?
How many cadets must die from that bomb before it ends?
Even if it kills me, the bombs won’t stop.
Never stop.
Someone got hurt because of that.
Someone will die because of that.
But it never stops.
A train with broken brakes goes straight ahead without knowing the end.
The end must be catastrophe.
A catastrophe stained with blood and screams.
‘… Is a lie.’
There are so many things to suck at the academy, how can I ruin the academy without going crazy?
Even if I stay still, talented people will come rolling in and feed my strength, right?
Why ruin such a honey hunting ground?
Never spoil.
This is a farm.
A fish farm where talented people who are not yet fabled will step in and dedicate their talents to me.
That’s why I made preparations so that the academy would not collapse.
That’s just a loud firecracker.
Of course, this would make the academy very embarrassing, but it was clear that this wouldn’t ruin it.
That’s also true, because things like that often happen outside the academy.
In the first place, Laplace Academy was unusual.
It is a world in which villain organizations openly act secretly.
It is a world where heroes are envied, hunters are active, and monsters are popping out.
The world I was originally in is distorted by a lot.
So it should go smoothly.
No problem, no problem.
The historical Laplace Academy has the power to overcome it.
Some of the villains in Astra could not help it, but other than that, there would be almost no damage.
But the people here can’t figure it out.
There may have been shaking, but everything was predestined harmony.
“How are you…?”
“”…””
I smile under a half-shattered mask.
It was a triumphant smile.
The surroundings were enveloped in silence.
And I felt the strength of the grip that was holding my neck like it was about to be crushed gradually weaken.
No matter how S-class you are and how smart you are, human beings are infinitely weak in front of precious things.
I hope you understand why heroes don’t reveal their faces in comics and novels.
I shook Ines’ arm, which was now barely strong, and cleared his throat.

Then, I took a quick look at Snow White and his friends far away, and Ines, who was enduring his anger terribly.
“Are you ready to talk?”
I hope so.
Otherwise, we have no choice but to move on to the next step.
**
After that, we were able to talk a lot.
Negotiations on bombs.
Negotiations on cadet safety.
Negotiations for members of Astra.
“Can’t I just walk on my feet?”
“Shut up.”
And the negotiations for Olivia.
It was just the moment I was about to go back after finishing the negotiations.
As soon as Ines heard where Olivia was, he overpowered me.
‘Why are you like this?’
‘How can I guarantee that you haven’t lied?’
‘I only told the truth.’
‘I can’t believe it. You guide yourself And if it’s a lie…’
‘Should you respect the content of the negotiations?’
‘I’ll do it if it’s true.’
Then, holding me down so that I wouldn’t run away, he dragged me on the floor and guided me to the place where Olivia was.
Perhaps if I hadn’t lied to make sure I didn’t miss it, it was clear that I would kill Olivia as soon as her safety was secured.
Obviously, such negotiations would have been the right choice for me to blow the information after my safety was secured, but since I blew the location of the bomb too innocently, I couldn’t even rebel like a rebel.
‘I was too naive.’
Oops.
It was because I trusted people too much.
Haven’t sages from ancient times said this?
Don’t trust the black-headed beast.
It was as he said.
Should I say blonde hair at this time?
Anyway, it was good.
It was never expected that Ines would come out here, and he never used his hand to go there with him.
“Oh, right there.”
“It’s on the left there.”
So I started guiding Ines to Olivia as a human navigator.
Her normal self would definitely suspect her of trapping, but when her brother’s life was at stake, her brain disappeared in half, so the work went smoothly.
Anyway, how long has it been since you gave such guidance?
I was able to direct Ines to a certain place.
A huge underground cavity on the outskirts of the city that took months of effort to create.
As for the light source, it is a place where several light bulbs hanging from the ceiling dimly emit light and cast long shadows, making it faintly distinguishable.
In the middle of that place.
Olivia was down.
“Oli!!!”
As soon as I saw that, Ines attacked me, immobilizing me and running towards the center where Olivia was.
The speed was so fast that Ines arrived at a place tens or hundreds of meters away with a roar in less than a breath.
Then, while checking her Olivia’s body condition, she started making sure that Olivia was fine.
“Calm down. Please…”
When she saw that scene, she was moved by her loving sisterhood, and she was about to burst into tears.
Olivia was just dozing off, but she felt like she was seriously ill or injured.
“Your sister?”
After a while.
Olivia raised her voice and opened her eyes at Ines’ feverish reaction.
“Okay, Olly, are you okay? Are there any injuries anywhere? Who will harm you…”
With tears in his eyes, Ines hugged her Olivia.
It was a very tearful scene.
Wouldn’t Ines have shed tears and applauded if it hadn’t been for the fact that when Ines was running towards Olivia, she was attacked and impaled on her wall, with only her neck slit?
It was a pity that I couldn’t do that.
But the pity is the pity, and I had to do what I had to do.
“Please.”
Says keywords.
Then Olivia’s shadow twisted slightly.
At the same time, Olivia’s eyes began to lose their life.
She then hugged Ines very tightly and took out with one hand a tiny dagger hidden in the sleeve of her academy uniform and stabbed her in the back of Ines gently.
The time taken for that series of actions was about 2 seconds.
It was insignificant in terms of power, but that wasn’t the point.
It contained poison that could instantly kill hundreds of elephants at once.
“Olly… Lee…?”
Perhaps he realized that, Ines stared blankly at Olivia.
It seemed that he did not understand.
Otherwise, as soon as I confirmed that Ines was being stabbed, I gave a heart-sharing signal to Anje, who was waiting in the distance, and activated the bomb buried beneath Olivia.
-Quaaa!!!!!
A splendid explosion, different in power from the bomb exploded at the academy, swept through the cavity.
