Episode 28 – Talent found at the end of jealousy (3)
#One
“eww-?”
Melanie sighed and looked around.
Hey, where are you?
It was a dark place all over.
Looking around, I didn’t feel any presence.
She stood up quietly, slowly recalling her memories.
Yes, there must have been an unknown female student in front of the room.
It smelled sweet, and I even remembered that my body felt heavy.
‘If it’s a sweet scent… … .’
She remembered the forbidden potion.
An item that is handled very carefully even at the upper house run by the Harry family.
Because I grew up in a merchant family, I knew a lot of items, and I was able to think of them naturally.
“It’s cold-.”
I must have been lying down for a long time, and my body was full.
An eerie chill dominated half of his body.
It didn’t look like school.
Where else are you?
what is going on
– It’s here!
-It’s dangerous here! Dangerous!
– We have to get out!
‘Do you guys know where this is?’
-of course!
– It’s a very dangerous place!
– We have to get out!
Wandering spirits are so happy.
The spirits told them to follow them.
From Melanie’s point of view, not knowing where this place was, she had no choice but to follow them.
I got up and looked around.
Ominous mana overflowed.
With every step he took, fear soared.
At first glance, the outside of the window was filled with clouds that stood still like time that did not flow.
furthermore-.
“The sky… … Why are you here?”
It should have been a black sky since the moon was up, but it was a strange color, as if it were magical.
It was strange.
It was such a strange space.
[greatness?]
And this sound-.
An intermittent ringing sound.
I’m sure you won’t like it.
I said it was dangerous, so it must be.
– This way!
-Come quickly!
– If you get caught, it’ll be a big deal! big deal me!
Melanie held her breath and moved.
Intuitively, I thought it would be a big deal if I was caught.
A cold sweat broke out, and breathing quickened.
‘Where the hell is this-. It’s scary, it’s scary-.’
All you can do is follow the spirits.
Melanie, unable to use mediocre offensive and defensive magic, just moved cautiously.
I hope that the spirits will guide you on the right path.
She took an unpredictable step.
#2
Manus was allowed to attend third grade classes.
The right to interrogate the entire first grade was given.
The notice was disseminated, and Manus pondered the incident.
The kidnapping of Melanie was not in the original story.
Looks like something else has changed.
In the original work, the sub-quest route is naturally opened, and the story of the talent for the spirits blooming.
-If she dies now, it means losing a very valuable power.
‘There is someone to question.’
A character who appears as Melanie’s rival and antipode.
In the middle and late stages, he has a story of repenting for his mistakes and getting along well with Melanie, but… … .
deserve to be punished
Her jealousy is enough to make her do anything.
Worst case, you might be locked in a tower-.
Organizing his thoughts, Manus stood up from his seat.
It’s time to eat lunch.
‘Do they know?’
I suddenly became curious.
How will Cale and the others react when they learn that their friend is gone?
In this case that was not in the original, what kind of feelings do the original characters have towards Melanie?
If they are really pure students, they will come up with a countermeasure somehow.
If you haven’t accepted it yet, you should create a haven for your soul that has nowhere to go.
I took a stride and opened the door to the huge dining room.
As soon as he opened the door, the main characters found him and ran out in a hurry.
“senior!”
“Senior Manus!”
“Senior, did you hear? Melanie now… … .”
Manus looked into their eyes.
The eyes full of worries proved their innocence.
Yes, these were them.
Unlike modern times, which hide their true faces behind masks, these were children with pure hearts.
Even though it is a created mind, it is alive and breathing like this.
That’s it.
“Know. My professors have delegated full power to me.”
“then-?”
“Looking for Melanie. The person to interrogate has been decided.”
Manus’ gaze scanned the surroundings.
Libby.
Her signature blonde hair was nowhere to be seen.
So I grabbed someone and asked.
The student who caught Manus’s gaze reacted as if starting a game, but now was not the time to care.
It’s about a person missing.
“How old is Lauer Libby?”
“yes? uh… … Me too… … .”
“This is Class B. senior.”
Fortunately, the students were very cooperative.
It was not someone else, but the manus, so the first year juniors answered as if they were their boss.
Students blowing alcohol like criminals brought to the interrogation room.
Thanks to that, sleeping was very comfortable.
While I came to the restaurant, I finished my meal with the main character’s party leisurely.
I’ll be back in Class B to take classes anyway, so there’s no need to be impatient.
“Senior, I wonder if you are trapped in the tower like me?”
“-maybe.”
Pearson took a deep breath at Manus’ reply.
tower.
The horror of being locked up alone still lingers in my dreams.
Even the tower, which I thought I was used to, would surely be impossible if I was asked to climb it alone.
It was unimaginable that Melanie, who didn’t know how to use attack magic, would survive there.
Class B would do whatever it takes to survive, but there is no time.
“Shouldn’t we go get it right now?”
“I will tell you the exact judgment after school.”
“But if it’s late… … .”
It is natural to worry.
Because they knew what the tower was like.
“Okay. Because she has a special ability.”
“… … .”
Should I believe his words or not? Juniors who notice.
Manus left them without a word and rose from his seat.
Their eyes met each other.
It had only been a day in the rain, but Melanie was a friend.
As long as we’re friends, getting involved in bad things is unacceptable.
Besides, it was related to the ‘top’.
A sense of mission began to grow that they were the only ones who could solve it.
‘Good.’
tower and fall.
Demons and Incidents.
Incidents that tie the protagonists together are happening one after another.
This strong bond must be formed during school years.
The moment you become an adult, join a group, and have various interests intertwined, the sincere bond will disappear.
– It was a bit envious.
It was already difficult to gauge how much innocence remained in Manus’ heart.
It would be nice to become the main character and share a virtual bond, but watching the process is also worthwhile.
It is Manus who tried to use the main characters from the beginning.
‘A relationship like this is good.’
Use it to protect the world, and gain the power to protect the world.
I thought it was a perfect relationship.
To the end, Manus himself thought so.
‘Where am I going alone again in such a hurry?’
That there was a gaze looking at her with pity, even the world’s Manus did not know.

1st year Golden Snake Class B.
The atmosphere was upsetting.
Harry’s disappearance was quite a big event for a freshman to handle.
Libby, who could be said to be the instigator of the incident, bowed her head.
Professors searched everywhere and even contacted the family, but Melanie was missing.
She realized that things were going seriously wrong.
‘Why, why did this happen-!’
I was out of breath, and the accident didn’t happen normally.
Even when I secretly visited the Eagles, they just shook their heads.
No cool answer came out.
rather-.
＜You told me to play a strange joke, so it’s come to this point!＞
＜Stupid wizard, do it yourself.＞
＜Because we’ll say we don’t know-.＞
I didn’t believe it, but Rebelly-Malito, who knew there would be a minimum duty, came out with a red flag.
Even though we made a mistake together, the act of trying to get out of the way was so disgusting.
wait and see-.
I’ll take it with you somehow
Libby gritted her teeth and began to think about how to get out of this situation.
“Lauer Libby. Am I right?”
It was no illusion that he heard a somewhat eerie voice.
It was a voice I had heard before.
A voice you will never forget once you hear it at the academy.
“Who, who-.”
Even though she was unconscious, she reacted hesitantly.
The blue natural flower was looking at her indifferently.
Black hair made an inescapable presence with just that color.
Caesar Manus.
He came to see Libby.
She had no particular contact with him, but she had run into them.
“It’s Manus. I have something I want to ask you.”
“Meh, I don’t know about Melanie.”
“… … I didn’t even say what to ask. I am sure you will ask for it.”
A feeling of standing up all over the body.
If I spat out even one word incorrectly, I felt like I would be bitten.
Before she knew it, a drop of sweat ran down her cheek.
“That, that’s-“
“I’ve seen it before. You are the only one who has directly harmed Melanie.”
“That, so? Kidnapping Melanie because I’m crazy? Without knowing the relationship between Melanie’s family and mine—?”
Those blue eyes were frightening, but Libby had to struggle to survive.
If you admit it, you die.
Not only her dream, but also her family’s future is over.
That’s why, I’m not going to get away with it here.
“It is not unusual for a poor family to borrow money. Did you think he didn’t know about your family?”
“… … .”
Little by little Libby’s complexion turned white.
Her bloodless face, at first glance, seemed to be looking at a sick person.
Despite his weak appearance, Manus’s questioning did not stop.
“It would be nice to be straight. If Melanie comes back and testifies in person, the story will be more complicated.”
“I didn’t do anything, how could Melanie’s words-.”
Having said that, Libby had a knowledge that suddenly came to her mind.
Magic not to be used morally.
However, I heard that there is magic that is permitted to be used when it comes to saving lives or interrogating criminals.
It would be knowledge that ordinary people are not even allowed to access.
“This is the last question before treating you as a criminal. What did you do to Melanie?”
Professors are not stupid.
The knowledge that Mythos Academy had was more extensive than I thought.
Professors are giving someone a chance right now.
It is the consideration of the professors who just want to end it with a student’s prank.
They are still too young to become criminals, and they think they are ignorant of the world-.
“I am not a professor. I don’t know how to care for criminals. So tell me. Libby, what have you done to Melanie?”
she had a hunch.
No matter what excuses you make, it won’t work.
Caesar Manus already knew everything.
Her eyes trembled violently.
Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com
Jealousy grows and becomes a huge karma.
The moment all the karma comes back to you, something irreversible happens.
Libby was vaguely aware of that fact.
I also realized that in front of a tyrant, nothing can be hidden.
“under-.”
The feeling of desperation soon wakes up with resignation.
Libby’s mouth opened.
