196 – Event Horizon (4)
‘······Isabella is looking at me.’
Theo noticed the gaze of the saintess, Isabella, faster than anyone else.
She used to have top students like Jang Woo-hee, Lee Shil-deo, and Andrew around her now, but she couldn’t recognize them because of the [Observer’s eyes].
······ Her eyes are now on herself. For quite a while too.
─The future has changed a lot.
Now, these words have become Theo’s habit.
However, at this point, Isabella’s appearance is a big event that can’t be compared to the high-level spirits that came to Sienna so early.
The first saint of the Renimid School and a second year student at the Faculty of Bravery. Her full name is Isabella Len Lopez.
In this work, she is the name among names. In other words, it would not be an exaggeration to call her a special name.
Even when she achieves S-class results in all routes, she shows up only during the winter break of her first year at the earliest.
To that extent, she has divine power and special ability that refuses to be compared even to named characters.
‘For some reason, I ran into that woman.’
In a way, it is a unique ability that is much rarer than Siena’s ‘spiritual art’ or her foresight.
To me, Isabella’s special ability is a variable that cannot be compared to the future that has changed so far.
······ Her special ability is Mind Reading.
Literally, it is the ability to read the inner mind. It’s not a magical effect, so it works against opponents with magic immunity.
Thanks to her abilities, despite the fact that she was the daughter of a fallen aristocrat from a small country, she took the position of the first saint, overtaking numerous saints from high-ranking aristocrats in powerful countries.
Renimidism is a religion that more than 99% of people on the continent believe in.
Of course, the prestige of religion is also formidable. No matter how much the Balderk family is known throughout the continent, they are new blood in front of the scale of the Renimid Church.
If she has a bad heart, she could be captured and turned into her test subject.
‘How far has your heart been read?’
In this work, in the same space, she read her mind simply by recognizing the other person.
In other words, you can use special abilities without seeing her face.
There is a strong possibility that she has already read her own mind.
‘·······Huu. The current situation was unexpected, and it has already happened. Let’s be careful only that we read more.’
Let’s quickly escape to the waiting room without Isabella-
With that thought in mind, Theo stood up.
“Uh, Theo? Where are you going. It’s Miss Irene’s match.”
“Whoa, are you disappearing with that magical purple watermelon again? I’m coming too.”
I easily ignored Aisha and Siena’s words.
Theo moved to the waiting room with a stiff face.
* * *
‘f*ck.’
[Martial Arts Tournament] Isabella, who was sitting in the audience, frowned.
‘This is the first time in my life that a baby whose powers are not affected.’
It’s because Theo’s mind wasn’t read at all.
Of course, they can be in an impermanent state where they don’t think at all…But I’ve never seen such a tribe before. It is doubtful whether it actually exists.
‘The special ability is working normally.’
She read the hearts of the audience around her once again.
─Wow, that’s f*cking pretty. What kind of face do saintesses choose? The grimacing expression is also pretty.
─You look like a dog. Why is this b*tch’s butt and her breasts so big? I’m going to rape you.
─The b*tch who says she’s a student council but doesn’t do any work… I don’t like to look so f*cking ugly.
─If the saintess looks good, at least one bean curd will fall out, right? Let’s get used to the face!
Dogs and pigs are currently flocking around.
Students, faculty, guild & state officials, everyone’s minds are clearly being read.
However, Isabella’s expression did not change at all. She was calm
‘As expected, the thoughts of pigs and dogs are the same, but… I really can’t get used to it.’
Currently, no one knows about his special ability close to his curse, mind reading.
There were quite a few when I was young.
I knew my parents, I knew the priest in charge, and I knew the archbishop within the church.
But now they are not all people of this world.
‘I came out for no reason. Out of vain curiosity.’
Once I recognized it, I kept hearing the inner thoughts of the pigs and dogs even if they didn’t want to.
She felt an urge to vomit well inside her.
Today, the reason I came out after a long time was out of curiosity.
Isabella was the daily confessor of the confession today.
Two women came to see me early in the morning, both of them a man. She talked about Theo.
─···I made a big mistake with her······. He says he’s fine, but I’m not sure if he’s really fine. I’d rather have a cool talk… How could there be no way?
─···There is a person who is showing a very unusual move these days······. Why would someone like that offer an aid to a lacking kid like me? I don’t have a good family background, and I’m never very good at it. I’m very curious about his inner thoughts…
By reading their minds at the high resolution, Isabella gained her peace of mind.
Their inner thoughts were the same as the words they spoke. It was sincere, without a trace.
A warm feeling I felt after a long time.
From the time she was born, she reluctantly read people’s hearts and her mind was defiled.
She was more healed than any other healer.
Rather than the client, the counselor himself was treated.
Then.
‘Uh, uh, uh. Where is that bastard going?’
Theo got up and disappeared.
I waited for a while, but he did not come back.
He didn’t need to be in such a disgusting position any longer.
“Let’s go back, Claire.”
“Claire,” The guardian knight standing behind Isabella in a solemn posture, answered.
“Yes, I understand. Holy Maiden.”
Among the knights belonging to the Order of Nanda Ginda, only a few are selected as human weapons.
Claire has the body of a slender woman and is a tremendously talented person who pierced the needle hole. To the extent that even the most advanced warriors of her armed forces could not foresee her victory in a confrontation with her.
She said that Isabella was not the first saint, and she has been by her side since long ago.
“This is it, saintess.”
As Claire moved on, everyone in the direction moved out of the way.
Isabella didn’t look at her surroundings and just walked behind Claire.

Isabella and Claire rode the round wagon and returned to the student council room of the Faculty of Bravery.
“Whew woo woo ─ hard.”
Isabella caught her breath as she sat down on a large chair in the student council room.
Student council room.
A cozy space of her own, free from nasty dogs and pigs.
Turning the chair she was sitting on, she grinned and looked at Claire, who was still standing there solemnly. [Martial Arts Tournament] The calm expression he always maintained in the arena was gone.
“Claire, I have a question for you.”
“Ohhhhh. What is it, saintess?”
Claire was genuinely delighted.
‘The saintess has a question…! Isn’t this the first time since she entered the academy…’
Moreover, today is a historic day for the saintess to go outside for the first time since her first year entrance ceremony.
‘No matter what method I use, I will let you know.’
Is the saintess finally opening her heart?
He says he hates meeting other people, and he does most of his life, including meals, in the student council room, and only communicates with himself and some of the student members.
Isabella said, still grinning.
“Are you going to tell me?”
“Anything! Whatever it is, just say it. Shin Claire, I will obey your order.”
A thrilled Claire knelt down in front of Isabella.
Isabella said.
From noble mtl dot com
“Really? Anything? Aren’t you going to call back later?”
“Of course, saintess. If you give me an order, I’ll find out, even if it’s a dragon’s rarity.”
“Hee hee, I get it. I’ll tell you-“
Claire widened her eyes at Isabella’s words that followed.
None other than Isabella’s request was to investigate a first year male student in the Department of Bravery.

[First match of the quarterfinals: Irene vs Tarkan]
[Second Match of the Semifinals: Theo vs Ragmar]
[Martial Arts Tournament] The first match of the quarterfinals is about to begin.
Standing on top of the arena, Irene narrowed her eyes and looked around at her seats. She was looking for someone.
‘······Theo disappeared.’
Until just a moment ago, he was in the audience.
But now it is not there.
‘What does it have to do with the sudden appearance of a saintess in the arena?’
Since the saintess appeared, she was surprised even herself and watched it to her heart’s content.
She was a beautiful person that perfectly suited her word for being a saint. She is also Theo’s first year senior.
When she appeared, Theo was in the audience.
‘No way, what kind of relationship are there between the two of you… Phew, no. No. Ugh, I’ve been reading mystery novels lately, so that’s what I’m thinking about.’
Irene shook her head.
Let’s check again one last time and focus on the game-
With that thought in mind, Irene scanned the seats again.
Still Theo wasn’t there. Seeing the intrusive Seria made her feel better.
Then.
“Ooh. What kind of warrior’s ritual is that, Theo’s wife.”
Tarkan, who was standing in front, broke Irene’s thoughts.
“Oh, your wife? It’s not like that. She is my fiancé.”
Irene, whose eyes were round, shook her head from side to side.
Tar Khan shrugged her shoulders.
“That or that. Isn’t the fiancé the soon-to-be wife? Humans make things really difficult.”
“Is that so? You have a great sense of humor, you are great.”
Irene, her face red, lowered her head slightly and she smiled like a ball.
‘As expected, the orcs of the College of Bravery can’t go without liking them.’
When Irene was thinking that way.
─Ellinia Academy [Martial Arts Tournament] Semifinals, first match! Let’s start now!
The host announced the start of the match.
