Chapter 136
The exam schedule until the second day is smooth.
It is not all about testing simply showing appropriate answers.
‘More than a correct answer… … . We have to show amazing achievements worthy of the eyes of professors.’
In other exams, what I do doesn’t change.
Afterwards, the alchemy class’s exam and Chi. And the preparation for the test in this subject, the black magic class, is perfect.
Let’s monopolize the performance and get a high evaluation.
‘… … Then what about the final exam?’
Let’s go back and think about it then.
First of all, no one would achieve better results than me within the exam range of the subject.
Because we are using all means possible.
“If I maintain this grade, I will somehow get the top spot.”
“… … That’s really admirable. Xian.”
Unlike words, a cold voice.
This is what Raylin, who was listening to the explanation behind me as I was reviewing the contents of the test to be taken tomorrow, said.
“Don’t you understand?”
“I heard an explanation. It makes sense that there is a reason… … . But I can’t believe it.”
To disturb Milian immediately… … . Furthermore, what you have to do to stop Duke Lioleit’s plan is to occupy the first place.
It’s understandable to some extent that it sounds implausible.
“In other words, it is a necessary process. Duke of Liolet… … . Aside from how he persuaded Milian, there are two things he aims for.”
I didn’t look back and only gave two fingers a rough look.
“One is the privilege of being a senior in the year.”
“privilege? … … Certainly, I heard that the best talent in each grade is rewarded accordingly.”
“Well, for those who don’t know what that means, it’s probably ambiguous whether this is a privilege or not.”
“Actually, I don’t understand either. … … That privilege is a pass to the academy’s secret facility.”
“I can tell you more about its value later.”
To be precise, there is no relationship right now.
Qing’s secret room.
The first mage believed to have founded Philos Academy. Qing dynasty.
There is one strange rule he established.
A room pass is lent to the best student in each grade.
“Is that what the head of household wants?”
every wish
To the extent that the descendants of the Lyoleate family groaned, holding on to that privilege for generations, but could not yield.
“Even if I skip the reason, I’ll get it anyway.”
Originally, I had no intention of doing that.
The chief’s privilege is directly related to the true ending route of the main scenario, but the player does not necessarily have to acquire it.
Originally, it was intended to seduce Elthea or another decent guy to get the privilege and use it appropriately.
‘Now that it’s been filmed, I’d better keep it if possible.’
You’d better thwart Deolkin Lyoleate’s purpose as well.
“The next thing is to use Milian to stop what they are trying to do.”
What is urgent right now is actually the second goal.
“Special exam on the 6th day. I’ll probably use Milian or someone else to do something else.”
“… … It certainly looks like that.”
Raylin didn’t hear anything, but she seemed to guess that something was going to happen.
“The most certain thing is that I will take care of Milian right now… … I’ll have to leave it to the right person to deal with it.”
The hostage is to prevent it.
A curse that is valid until the 6th day.
Killing Milian now would be a costly sacrifice.
“So on the 6th, when Milian acts, I plan to stop him.”
“What?”
It seems to be quite concerned.
At this point you can teach me.
“Anyway, this is just my guess… … .”
probably sure
The basis is a pattern that can come out when Elcia Liolet’s personal route in the game scenario and the actions of Milian in Chapter 5 are combined.
“That crazy man from your family will aim for the final completion of the family’s unique skill, Blood of the End.”
“You mean by the academy test?”
“From the uncle’s point of view, it will look like a sheepfold with suitable offerings.”
It’s an insult to the family head, but now Raylin doesn’t seem to have the heart to risk it.
Rather, the information I’m talking about will be of more concern to you.
“Let me check one thing, Raylin-san.”
“… … What is?”
“Isn’t there some kind of custom in the Duke of Lioleate to pay a living human to develop that ability?”
“That, that… … .”
hesitate to answer
That alone was a sufficient answer. I nod my head as if that was enough.
It’s a setting mentioned in the game as well.
Milian is Elcia Liolate… … . To be precise, she was a victim of the evil practices of the Duke of Lioleit.
‘A living sacrifice dedicated to awakening one’s abilities… … .’
However, Elcia couldn’t kill Milian because she felt repulsed by such family customs.
Even so, because of the halfway expressed ability, Milian must have wandered between life and death.
But for some reason, Milian was alive and not dead.
‘Originally, it should appear for revenge at the point of Chapter 5… … .’
For some reason, she teamed up with Duke Lyoleate, the man who ruined her life.
At first, I was also surprised that something had gone wrong, but now that I think about it… … .
‘It’s possible.’
There are enough contacts.
To be precise, I roughly guessed why Milian joined hands with Duke Lioleit.
It won’t be much different from the main scenario chapter 5.
I was sure of that because when she attacked me as an obstacle, she used a power that didn’t exist in the game.
“First of all, Duke Lioleit will aim for the perfection of his abilities.”
“Why is it so… … .”
“Because Elcia’s awakening was incomplete. So he must be trying to light the fire by using some other alternative.”
That time is the last day of the midterm exam.
‘Originally, he was going to manipulate Elcia into attacking his classmates, forcibly sacrificing them to fan the awakening of his abilities.’
The root of the problem was that I had taken care of the skill that controlled Elcia.
One of the triggers for Elcia Ryoleate’s blackening was quickly removed.
As a result, the Duke of Liolet.
‘… … I gave up on Elcia.’
He didn’t bother to say this to Raylin.
Instead, he said it in a slightly different way.
“Millian’s purpose was probably to make a deal like this with Duke Lioleit.”
“transaction… … .”
“I will complete Elcia’s unique skill and give her a chance to transplant it.”
In Chapter 5, Milian wanted revenge.
One of those means was to attack Elsia and steal her power.
As a result, it didn’t work out, and it served as an opportunity to destroy her as a villain.
‘Probably not much different from the purpose of Chapter 5.’
That’s why I was able to see through the purpose calmly.
“Nonsense!”
“Well, I don’t believe it easily either.”
“It’s not that I doubt Xian’s claim, it’s impossible! The authority of the Lyoleate family is passed down only to the blood relatives of the duchy.”
“But Milian wrote that? Although weak.”
“… … ah!”
Perhaps Raylin also witnessed it.
“I don’t know yet how that is possible. To be honest, I have no idea right now.”
One thing is certain.
Someone else intervened.
Duke Lioleit wouldn’t have the knowledge to plant that ability in Milian.
‘Someone seems to be playing around in the middle… … .’
There is a sense of incongruity.
That there could be three or more bad guys to deal with.
… … It’s terribly annoying.
In fact, from the time I thought about interfering with Elcia, I expected things to get twisted.
‘I wanted to verify how much the situation could change if I intervened on my own.’
It’s really annoying for that price.
These are the guys who will have to be dealt with someday anyway. Does not matter.
“What I can say for sure is that if we succeed, Elcia’s safety is not guaranteed.”
“… … .”
If the family head succeeds, Elcia will die or suffer something similar.
‘Although the other freshmen who get caught up in the plan will end up in the same way.’
There is a high possibility that I will be included in that target.
“… … then.”
Hearing my warning, Raylin thinks for a moment and then makes a somewhat stern expression.
You’re thinking nonsense.
“I’d rather have Milian at this point… … .”
“no.”
Regardless of the curse, he must have come up with a proposal to deal with Milian and stop it.
Extreme anyway.
“The curse is real. If you deal with Milian now, you and the other servants will be in danger.”
Above all, I do not allow it.
Even if it had nothing to do with me, it hadn’t rotted enough to let people die.
And then it’s my fault!
“That’s probably what the head of the duchy wants, too.”
What he wants is a sacrifice that will stimulate Elcia.
The blood of the end is a skill that awakens only through sacrifice.
Blood must be shed, and the daughter must witness it to awaken.
It was Duke Lyoleate’s intention to make it so corrupt.
At least that’s what I’m guessing.
“So I’ll interrupt and save you with the regular method. … … Don’t do anything stupid, Raylin-san. That kind of thing will lead to the destruction of the lady you serve.”
“… … All right.”
It’s kind of like a dead face.
After all, hearing this and that from a child and even sermons, it must be quite complicated in my head.
“Where did that bloody older sister who whipped me go?”
“Even if you mock me, I have nothing to say in return.”
“No, I am not being sarcastic. … … Anyway, Raylin-san, I have something to tell you.”
I wrote it on parchment and handed it to him.
“This?”
“You will have to move fast. Of course, you can’t let Duke Lioleit know. Whether or not you do this right is very important.”
“All right.”
As if prepared, Reirin nodded and left without looking back.
You probably won’t see her face again until the last day.
(You are kind. Our Xian is~.)
I thought it would be quiet, but Emily teased me with a chlorine.
‘What are you talking about?’
From noble mtl dot com
(Isn’t it a consideration to not make you feel burdened?)
‘What are you talking about? It’s true that we need a hand.’
(Wasn’t that something you could have this older sister do? No, that was what you meant to do, right?)
I just entrusted the job to someone who seemed to do a good job.
“… … Okay, let’s go do something.”
(Aren’t you studying?)
“What more to do?”
The rest of the test plan has already been perfectly laid out.
The important thing is the response on the 6th day.
So, before that, there is work to be done.
“You should ask the person directly.”
At least, if I have something to say, I’m the type to call myself out and argue.
* * *
Basically, the academy facilities have restrictions on night use.
Even the library was off-limits from midnight.
If there are exceptions… … .
Test period.
At that time, the opening hours of most facilities will be greatly extended.
therefore.
Even if I call someone late at night and talk to them, no one will say anything.
“Have you come? Elcia. You came sooner than expected.”
“… … I was surprised to see her disappearing without leaving a message in my room. How much more so to call out openly.”
It wasn’t difficult because I had Emily leave the letter behind.
“What if you call me and it’s later than the appointment time! draft!”
Elcia asked as if it were absurd.
“Sorry~. sorry~ I mean, I’m so busy. Well, isn’t that something to say in front of the duke’s lady?”
“What are you talking about… … .”
“Are you up to something funny?”
“… … .”
“Even the duke is very busy. I don’t study for the exam period and do other things.”
I said it around, but my intentions must have been conveyed enough.
“I wondered if Raylin was moving on her own, but as expected, Xian, you… … .”
“Don’t blame the attendant.”
“I have no intention of that. No, I am not qualified.”
Elcia speaks in a self-deprecating way.
Not being able to restrain Milian.
Do you want to say that playing with the will of the family head is all your fault?
“I can see what your intention was.”
“It’s a trivial farce, as always.”
“I guess… … . But this time, it’s okay not to interfere.”
“ok?”
what are you talking about now
Reflexively, it came to my mind what that naive young lady was trying to say.
That’s bad.
“Sian, the things you worry about don’t happen.”
It’s not a confident attitude.
rather the opposite.
“It can’t happen.”
“… … hey.”
Noticing it, I didn’t listen anymore and said it in a displeased tone.
“You, Millian… … Are you saying you’re going to kill yourself with her?”
I didn’t even have to listen.
… … I knew because I was already bored.
what kind of guys these guys are.
