246. Dongbang, Cheonseon Academy (11)
Every action must have a reason. And some stories have a hidden side.
The hidden side of a series of events and why.
I had to figure it out.
“What kind of promise did the Crown Lord exchange with the Blood Emperor?”
Kaen’s voice came from a corner of the room that had become quiet.
From the time the ruler negotiated with the King of Blood and the King of Blood withdrew, that was the end of the monster attack incident that I knew originally.
The secret conversation I just heard between the two of them should probably have had the same result, but the substance was different.
“Trying to kill the academy cadets?”
Yuri, who was leaning against the wall and crossing her arms, gave her opinion.
“Certainly, judging from the attitude of the governor we met upon arrival at the academy, I could sense that the relationship between the academy and the academy was not good. But…”
“…I don’t think it’s a good way because even the academic officer can’t avoid the responsibility if that’s what he was aiming for.”
When I added her words to Eisel’s answer, she nodded her head as if that was correct.
After the situation had calmed down, it was dawn.
I called the A class members together and explained what I had seen and heard with Kaen, and we were all working on countermeasures.
I could have carried out the investigation alone like before, but I was with Kaen, and since the other person was the head of the school building, I needed the help of as many people as possible.
What Kaen told me made sense.
Because I thought maybe I was overprotective of them, just like they were overprotective of me.
And more than anything else, there was a high possibility that I would be stranded in this job.
“But isn’t there any need to kill the students of the school building in this way? Why did the school building keep such a dangerous beast alive in the first place?”
Amon frowned as if he didn’t understand.
“For training and exams, there’s nothing like Yosu. It’s convenient to think of it as an academy’s labyrinth for the academy. Although it’s a much more dangerous method than the labyrinth… How about the number of casualties?”
“That’s Lucia…”
ㅡ Drrureuk!
A girl with bluish hair opens the door and enters at the same time as Yuri utters a word.
“…I’m here!”
“Just in time.”
“Did you meet the medical officer?”
“Yes…! There were 15 patients in total, only minor injuries. Mr. Jetto, that’s a relief!”
“It was hard work. Zeto.”
Lucia hopped in her seat with joy, and Amon patted me on the back.
“I’m glad.”
“Are you okay?”
“It’s okay. I’ll go see Sergeant Priscilla later.”
I was able to prevent deaths from occurring in the game as well. Well, the method I used was a much simpler route that solved it with force alone.
“Hmm…”
“By the way, did you intentionally disable the barrier?”
Afterwards, as I was drooling in agony, Crank, who was eating bread, asked such a question.
The result is the same, but the contents are complicated.
I needed to throw away the information I originally knew and collect and organize the information again.
“…For now, that’s likely to be the case. Since the opponent is Gwanju, the head of the school building, as long as he’s inside the school building, he can do whatever he wants. We don’t know what his intentions are yet.”
The same was true of the barrier.
I thought it was just an aging barrier, but it would be a different story if the governor intentionally ordered the personnel inspecting the barrier to rest in order to release it.
“It was a ritual offering blood? A sacrifice or an offering?”
“Looking at the students’ reactions, it doesn’t seem like it happened regularly at a specific time…”
“And as a result, you couldn’t kill anyone, right? Because Zeto was there…!”
From noble mtl dot com
Lucia proudly pointed at me with her palm.
“……”
I smiled bitterly at Lucia’s bright voice, which did not change even when the situation became serious.
I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was missing something.
“You’re the strongest when you’re alone. Mr. Zeto.”
“Lucia, if you say that, Jetto will wander around alone again.”
“It’s okay. I’ve decided to reduce solo actions this time. Trust me.”
“Really? I’m surprised…”
Eisel, who had her eyes on the floor, glanced sideways at me.
“The governor may be targeting the Jeto cadet.”
“What do you mean?”
“That’s… I guess Cadet Zeto has offended them…”
“”……””
At the time when there was silence in the room for a while due to the new information that the crown prince was targeting me, Yuri’s worried voice broke the silence.
“…If the gwanju is aiming for the jeju, shouldn’t the instructors be informed?”
“There is no evidence for that. Even if the instructors argue, the cross-juice will not pretend.”
“Then you’re saying let’s just watch the gwanju try to kill Jeto?”
The ruler is a person who is at the level of principal in terms of academy.
The academy’s principal, Juliut, and the academy’s crown prince, and me are strong people who can kill as many times as they want to.
Of course I had no intention of dying, and I had plans for that.
“It’s okay, Ms. Yuri. Don’t worry too much about me. I’ll be saving myself by the medical officer’s side for the time being.”
I needed some help from Priscilla to get through this task well.
‘Well, it is still unknown whether she will accept my request…’
Soon Kaen added her words.
“I think we should investigate this matter by ourselves. It may seem like a separate matter to us, cadets of the academy, but I don’t know why, but cadets Zeto are being targeted.”
At the same time, I was slowly retracing the situation.
Things that changed from the game due to my actions.
‘Come to think of it, the King of Blood came directly after me. As for the guy at the top, he tried to kill me until he took it himself.’
The number of monsters sent to kill me was far greater than the number of monsters sent by the King of Blood to the academy.
I was able to notice this from the abnormal movements of the monsters I saw in between.
Let’s think about it step by step.
‘Why did you have to kill me?’
Since they didn’t have detailed information about me, it must have been to send a larger number of Yosuke to the academy.
‘What will happen then?’
People die or get hurt.
It was a surprise attack that was completely unexpected for everyone in the academy.
‘But there are no deaths.’
If the governor had directly stepped forward in the mess, it would have been easy to kill a specific person and say it was the witch’s fault.
‘Then why…’
There is no reason. I can’t figure out the reason for the action.
There was too little information about ‘Wui Zihan’, the head of the Tianxian Academy.
‘That’s why I can’t wait for Keraf…’
Since such an uproar had occurred, the academy might not be accepting tourists for a while.
While everyone was naturally worried, she thoughtlessly took a handful of bread from Crank and ate it.
“Whoa… It seems everyone is having a hard time getting a clue…!”
“”……””
Everyone’s eyes were on her because of Lucia’s eccentricities. Soon Lucia continues her words in her confident voice.
“My mother said, always assume the worst in situations like this!”
“”The worst…?””
As usual, it sounded like Lucia’s nonsensical nonsense, but unexpectedly, she was able to change her thinking.
“What’s the worst when there are no deaths?”
“Mr. Amon! That’s the problem! It’s not the worst…!”
“Then… You weren’t trying to harm people from the beginning?”
“Is that a diversionary operation?”
“Since there was so much commotion… I guess it’s quite possible.”
“Come to think of it, was that the crossword? It was difficult to arrive late…”
“If the referee was trying to delay the situation as much as possible…?”
After that, even if Lucia didn’t say anything else, the others spewed out plausible words on their own.
“…Could you call me Detective Lucia-sama?”
Lucia got up from her seat and brushed her hair.
“Ohh… Detective Lucia…!”
“Bigger!”
“Detective Lucia!”
“Yes, Detective Lucia-sama has appeared! Mhahahahaha!!”
While Crank was beating the drums and Lucia was playing the janggu, I seriously considered this speculation.
‘It’s a diversion operation…’
After the barrier was lifted, in order to make a fuss at the right time, the Blood Fairy sent a group of monsters to the school building.
However, the Blood Sea King thought that the plan was not going smoothly because I was blocking the way.
So I tried to get rid of me quickly, but in fact, I had already sent Jin Yeo-ling to the academy to call for support.
So the commotion broke out ‘as they wished’.
The Blood Sea King, who had no way of knowing the situation properly, got angry and stepped forward, and unlike him, the crown prince sent the guy back in silence as he had achieved his goal.
‘How much does it make sense…?’
But there was one unanswered question.
“Hey, Miss Detective Lucia…”
“Hmm… It’s Jeto-kun. Ask me anything.”
Lucia suddenly pretends to touch the mustache she doesn’t have and unfolds a situational drama.
“Then, what was Gwanju aiming for with this diversionary operation?”
“…That’s right… Hmmm…”
Lucia clears her throat after answering my question.
“”……””
Everyone in her room stares at La Lucia, who hiccups and cries as if frightened of her.
“Hey… I don’t even know that much…?”
Well, I didn’t expect much.
The others seem to have had the same thought, so they laugh and pass it over.
‘Things that are not easily accessible even if they are cross-references. That must have been his purpose.’
The reason why I didn’t know about this situation was probably because it happened in the second half of the academy part in the game, so there was a high possibility that it was because I didn’t know what happened after leaving the academy.
Anyway, the crosshairs are targeting me.
‘For more detailed information, I decided to ask the people in the room who will investigate on my behalf…’
Now I had to go see Priscilla.
She was one of the people who could definitely protect me from a strong man like Gwanju. As a bonus, you can spend time treating injuries.
‘Ghost of the Holy Kingdom.’
I didn’t forget that there are risks.
