288. Investigation in Academy Section 3
***
While the atmosphere of strange emotions flows in the infirmary.
On one side of the inside space of the academy, there was a chilly atmosphere.
ㅡAcademy 3 Office.
Section 3 is mainly responsible for the security of the academy, and exists to protect key figures and to prepare for unexpected situations. A place that usually puts a lot of significance in coordinating and arranging multiple knights and wizards.
That’s why academy cadets generally don’t and can’t stop by class 3.
And it wasn’t much different from other instructors. It wasn’t a place to visit in general if there was no point of contact.
But now.
In the office of Unit 3, the instructor entered the room from time to time, and various questions and answers continued.
… .
“Instructor Muller can vouch for your identity. Yes, the testimonies agree, there is nothing wrong with the expression of power. It’s good to go.”
“Yes… Good job.”
The cold old man’s voice and the tense instructor’s voice interlocked.
The old man who continued to ask questions was an old man with a long cut on his left cheek as a person in charge of Section 3.
—Isaac Pelliat.
A seasoned man who had served on the frontline for a long time, his short hair that had faded to pure white with the traces of time, and his calm, heavy eyes had an atmosphere that made it difficult for even an instructor to make eye contact.
clap.
The door closes and the instructor leaves. After sorting out the documents for the corresponding instructor, Isaac gently rubbed his eyes.
Then, with a light sigh, he looked around for a moment.
“Carly.”
“yes. Isaac.”
“…All instructors should be suspected. Is that still the case?”
“No change. From my point of view, there is an introvert among the instructors. A series of crises that cannot normally exist are occurring one after another, and they appear as if they were concocted. I suspect that there are infiltrators, at least among those with an instructor level.”
Carly, who was checking with her own eyes one by one the instructors who came to Section 3 by Isaac’s side, replied calmly.
There was even confidence in that voice, and Isaac accepted it.
“is it. Among those who become instructors… there are people who have been liaising with the apostles, of course it’s not unheard of, but I don’t want to believe it.”
“Nevertheless, I think we should consider the possibility.”
“Yes, I will take your word for it. Then let’s call the next instructor. to proceed again.”
Immediately after Isaac’s serious voice, his presence waiting nearby began to call the instructor, and gradually the instructors came inside one by one and began to receive various questions.
He mainly confirms the presence of the apostle through an alibi for yesterday’s situation, various identifications, and manifestations of power.
Right now, Isaac and Carly were trying virtually every way to connect with the apostles and infiltrate them, but… … .
Even so, the instructors facing them did not have much hesitation. They were mostly proud of themselves.
“…next.”
… .
“next.”
The name calling and the comings and goings of the instructors continued and disappeared.
In a way, Carly didn’t let go of her mind at all during the sluggish time.

Just yesterday, she faced the apostle, and because she hadn’t completely disposed of the apostle, she assumed that the blame was on her.
And the energy of the introvert can be confirmed by facing it directly.
With that in mind, she was sitting in Section 3, spending her time.
clap.
Another instructor who entered like that.
“Vermian Cetylpian.”
As soon as he said the instructor’s full name, a man with short silver hair cautiously moved and stood in front of them.
“I have answered the call.”
“okay. You said you were at the scene of the accident as an instructor in charge of the C3 class. Is there someone who can prove your whereabouts?”
At the time of the accident, each instructor was spread out as one and was busy subjugating monsters, so they rarely encountered each other.
So, a question like a simple check follows.
“My whereabouts can be verified by all the cadets in Class C3. At the time of the disaster, we were rescuing cadets who couldn’t head to the evacuation center and subduing monsters.”
“is it. Then you can easily check. Then, let’s show off our powers, albeit lightly.”
The car continued with a serious voice again.
Vermian expressed his characteristics without hesitation.
ㅡ!
The darkness burst through his hands.
It shimmered strangely and centered around his hand like a flame.
“……”
And at that moment, Kali stared intently at his power.
The darkness shook strangely in the hands of an instructor called Vermian. It looked different in nature from the darkness in the apostle’s own realm that I encountered yesterday.
The darkness usually manifested by an apostle is more friendly and has a unique strange aura.
It’s disgusting and disgusting… .
However, the darkness of Vermian seen through her eyesight is only the power manifested by the characteristic. There was nothing unusual.
“Can you feel anything?”
Let Isaac open his mouth to confirm. Carly shook her head cautiously.
“…No, no.”
While answering, Carly must have felt a very strange feeling.
I know that the power of darkness is different. In addition, even in the documents related to Instructor Vermian, there are no characteristics or history to be noted.
A neat and rather clean being among the instructors.
He maintained his dignity as a nobleman, and he knew his name because he was an instructor with a fairly good reputation among the cadets.
‘If you are a person who communicates with an apostle… .’
He was bound to receive power from the apostle, and the traces of that power were bound to be revealed unknowingly, but there was none.
Vermian did not hesitate even after light questions and answers continued.
Calmly, and just like other instructors, he showed his innocence.
“Vermian Cetylpian. You may as well go.”
Accompanying Isaac’s low words, Vermian lightly lowered his head and winked.
The look of Kali next to her in her eyes.
…the car that Kali was also staring at.
Soon after, he turned around and left the 3rd office.
clap.
“next.”
The sound of the door closing… Isaac was calling the next instructor as before.
“…Wait a minute, Isaac. There is something I need to confirm with Instructor Vermian, who just left.”
“is it. Then come back to check on Carly.”
At the words that followed, Carly immediately got up and left the office.
As she opened the door and came out, she could see Vermian’s back slowly walking away.
“Instructor Vermian. Please pause.”
At her cold call, Vermian stopped walking and naturally turned around.
“Is there anything else you need to check with me?”
“…no. There’s nothing really to check. I’m just trying to get some advice. Because you deal with darkness, you probably understand more than I do.”
Carly, who responded calmly, closed the distance with him, and Vermian met her gaze.
again.
“…”
“…”
The moment we faced each other just a few steps ahead. Carly asked eagerly.
“The apostle was seen dealing with darkness. That darkness was very different from the apostles I’ve looked at countless times. The power to endlessly regenerate… and recover and resist. It felt very special.”
Carly explained what she had been through in a calm voice.
Her eyes met Vermian’s, and Vermian accepted the words without wavering.
When she asked about the types of darkness and the nature of power, Vermian answered with a rather gentle smile.
“…okay. Your reply was really helpful. I’m sorry I inevitably took up your time.”
“no. I’m fine, Instructor Carly. Do you have any more questions about me? Regarding this accident, I also want to help more if I can help because I believe that an accident that really cannot happen happened.”
When Vermian appealed with sincere eyes, Carly looked at him curiously and shook her head.
“For now, your answer is enough. If in the future I have something to ask about the darkness again… then I would like you to cooperate a little more.”
“…All right. Then I’ll go too. I want to check the condition of the injured cadets one more time.”
“yes… .”
After a series of conversations, Vermian walks away.
Carly, who was looking at her back, licked her lips silently.
peculiar feeling.
‘Something… feels strange.’
There is nothing special about Instructor Vermian’s appearance with silver hair that is still out of sight.
When I caught him to talk, he stopped Vermian for his knowledge of the dark. The more we talked, the more I felt a strange sense of difference.
No, should I say deja vu?
I had never spent time apart from Instructor Vermian. Even if there was, it was to the extent of passing by or exchanging greetings.
…But strangely, he felt familiar.
I felt like I had seen him somewhere… It couldn’t have been, but there was such a feeling.
Still, there is nothing strange about it. As an instructor, the way he cared for and cared for his cadets was just like the model of an ideal instructor.
In fact, I vaguely heard that Instructor Vermian was quite active in subjugating monsters yesterday.
“ha.”
He took a short breath and gently shook his head.
…I wonder if my nerves have become sensitive, and as time goes on, I feel myself trying to judge something based on emotions.
No matter what I look at, I can’t doubt Instructor Vermian.
“……Let’s just think about it.”
A person to watch out for.
Among the instructors I met today, there were a few instructors who had a strange feeling. There were some instructors who had strange energy that they could feel according to their different characteristics.
And to remember Vermian as one of them.
As an infiltrator is a huge risk factor, no one hastily made a conclusion.
***
that buck
After leaving Carly, Vermian turned the corner and stopped for a moment.
“……”
A very shallow breath leaks through the mouth and nose.
Then, without realizing it, he touched his face. Even though he was aware that his hands were trembling slightly, he felt like he was losing his mind right now.
It was like an instinct.
The indelible power engraved on his body throughout yesterday. And fear by pain.
It was difficult even to straighten the body as the fear that was close to the source was so prevalent throughout the body.
“hahahaha…”
Even as he exhaled heavily, Vermian blankly narrowed his eyes.
It was a miracle that he had survived Carly yesterday. The unprecedented power that Leteia showed by stealing the initiative of my body.
It wasn’t the use of power he knew.
A completely different manifestation of power.
That’s why he was able to hide himself from Kali for a moment, and eventually recovered and survived.
Continuing the conversation a while ago, Vermian felt like hell every second and every moment.
The terrible pain caused by the numerous vibrations imprinted on her body, her voice and the touch of her eyes, her body reacted as if it had remembered it.
And if Carly had held onto her just a little longer… she wouldn’t have been able to hide it.
‘…I have to kill him.’
Reflecting on himself… Vermian revised his purpose.
It’s not like I’m thinking of Han Chun-seong right now and doing something,
What you need to do now is…
—-To kill Kali no matter what.
He felt at once that he could not live without killing her.

Just by exhaling and continuing to speak in the same space, my mind is pushed to its limit like crazy.
Vermian felt it more than anything else.

Just by standing in front of her, he knew that he was weighed down by fear imprinted on him.
