Episode 97. Reasonable Doubt (2)
“… … what? oops.”
Jia Han laughed as her belly button fell off.
It was somehow awkward for Dante to see.
“Let’s hear why you thought that.”
“You know I’m very sensitive to that mana.”
“To some extent.”
“Professor and Xian have similar mana management patterns. It’s not similar, it’s almost the same.”
When it comes to releasing mana, each person has a habit. I’ve never seen a case where the habits match exactly.
For example, let’s assume you shoot magic bullets with a mana gun.
Alicia intensively uses the mana in her right arm and instantaneously absorbs mana in the air to create magic bullets.
The complex draws in the mana scattered throughout the body to create magic bullets.
Claudio’s use of mana scattered throughout his body is like a club. However, since there is only one strand of mana path leading to the right hand, it takes time to realize magic bullets.
However, Jia Han and Xian had almost the same mana operation patterns and the speed at which they diverged.
Jia Han smiled lightly.
“Are you a real thing? good. I accept your mana sensitivity. But how much do you know about Xian? Do you think you figured out everything with just a few workouts and a few trips to the shooting range?”
“I don’t mean that. I am speaking based on what I have seen. Reasonable doubt is something you can do, right?”
Jia Han giggled and quenched her thirst with cold coffee.
“good. Always be curious and observe the other person with concentration. that’s a great pose I’ve come up with some pretty interesting inferences, so I’ll tell you. Xian learned mana management from me. He’s just as sensitive to mana as you, maybe even more than you.”
“So you’re saying you saw what the professor did and did the same thing?”
“I don’t know. No, I didn’t know until now. I’m an excellent mage, but I can’t see the flow of mana in that detail. I was very surprised to hear your story. I just wanted to follow along. Who would have known that he copied my habits as they were?”

After listening to Jia Han’s explanation to the end, Dante felt a little embarrassed.
I was 90% sure, but Xian’s cell phone rang in Jia Han’s room, and I believed it 100%.
It was a rash decision.
‘but. There are still many people with magical abilities that I don’t know about in the world… … .’
“But you asked if Xian and I are the same person. Did you ask the question with Shape Shifter in mind?”
“yes.”
“Until now, no one has ever been found to use shape shift magic. Why did you think that?”
“It’s just that no one has ever been found, and it’s not a very wild imagination. If he had such an ability, wouldn’t he have hidden it? So it is not known.”
Jia Han nodded her head with a satisfied expression.
“okay. It’s an idea worth trying at least once.”
“yes.”
“then. Are the questions resolved now?”
“yes. If you ever get in touch with Xian, please tell him to text me.”
“Yes, I will.”
Dante returned home in silence.
There was some truth in Jia Han’s words. However, the question was not 100% resolved.
‘If what Professor Han said is true, it means that his drafting skills are fraudulent… … All of them were eliminated from the top 5 prestigious schools just because they were lacking in speech?’
Interviews are not difficult.
Didn’t you get into the club easily even if you were very poor at English right away?
It was six years ago that Xian came to Agras. He was also fluent in English.
At the interview, ‘Long live LNP! Wouldn’t it be better if he shouted ‘The magic tower trash!’? Otherwise, the fact that all of the top 5 prestigious schools rejected talented children… …
‘Is it a real LNP?’
As Jia Han said, Dante did not know the details of Xian’s circumstances.
‘Let’s pack something.’
Dante put the things he needed in his suitcase whenever he remembered.
The day after tomorrow, go to the dormitory.
“Who will be your roommate? Maybe Mark Law… … .”
Dante shook his head vigorously, clearing his thoughts.
You shouldn’t think recklessly.
Sad premonitions always come true.
It seemed like being roommates with one of Mark’s gang would be pretty tiring for a year.
‘ah… … . Why am I so stupid?’
Just don’t apply for full-option dorms.
Most of the people who were hostile to Dante had a lot of money. If you applied for the basic option, you could have avoided it.
Dante accessed the school website.
‘The dormitory application… … Oh, it works!’
Modifications are possible until noon today.
There was only about an hour left.
If you choose the basic option, the sleeping capsule was the biggest problem. It doesn’t really matter if the room is small and the closet is small, but if you use cheap capsules, your sleep time will be longer.
In other words, training time is reduced.
Dante immediately called the Academic Affairs Office.
「Can I change the capsule at my own expense after moving in with the basic dormitory option? 」
” it’s possible. By the way, Mr. Dante, you already bought the best capsules in the first grade, right? If you reapply for the basic option, only the room class will be lowered and you can use the capsule as it is. 」
Dante also asked Grace for advice.
“Other kids borrowed money to build a network and went full option. How did you become the opposite? Being comfortable is the most important thing. Do what is convenient for you. 」
Now, Dante is a decent sophomore.
It was a full option only when I was a freshman, so I had high hopes for connections in prestigious families, but not now.
To be honest, among my classmates from Sky Island, there was no one I really wanted to get close to. If you want to get closer, it’s better to meet in a club like Fabio.
Of course, if you become roommates, there is a high chance that you will become close because you spend a lot of time together. However, if the personality doesn’t match, there is a possibility that the relationship will be completely wrong.
‘okay. Then change to the default option for a double room!’
When D.O was in the first year, he used a basic option room for 4 people. The room and bathroom were cramped, but it wasn’t unbearable.
Wouldn’t it be better to choose a small room than to face useless mines and stress for a year? Having lived in a cramped house for 16 years, there was nothing I couldn’t do.

Meanwhile, BS’s bunker.
BS sighed as he saw Prince in Ray’s arms.
“They say it’s no use raising children. Because I’m going to bite the balls. What would you do if you were there, you bastard!”
What’s up?
Prince tilted his head and stared at BS.
“look. Prince looks at me strangely when the owner talks nonsense. Right Prince?”
Cool. Cool!
BS swallowed a cough while sipping hot ginger tea.
“so. How are things going?”
“In conclusion, Liam is not the culprit. He is not a wizard.”
BS nodded as if he expected it.
Ray continued by brushing Prince’s hair softly.
“You said you were the same person as the killer of the bad guys, right? The day the bad guy died, Liam was at school all day. I checked.”
“hmm… … . Is that why I sent you? I thought it was weird.”
“It is true that Liam planned to kill the twins.”
Liam had attempted an assassination outside of school. However, it was blocked by the barrier and failed.
It was also not true at the time that the twins usually use defense capsules.
“I guess that’s why I chose the school as the place. In fact, since Stella is a restricted area for outsiders, identifying a suspect is much easier. It is difficult to see it as a suitable place for a crime.”
“Are you a pretty smart kid? Since the school is safe, he must have wanted not to use the capsule, so he planned the crime. But someone else killed Courtney first.”
“I thought you were right. Liam’s real purpose wasn’t to assassinate Courtney. I got what I really wanted by not killing myself and taking the blame for it.”
“You pitiful child.”
“I think prison is more comfortable. He didn’t really commit murder, so he won’t feel guilty.”
Liam had some anxiety.
The Zordyk family said they couldn’t use their electronic devices to their heart’s content because they were afraid of hacking.
“Who was the real culprit?”
“The Mayer siblings. You didn’t even attend the graduation ceremony? The girl dropped out.”
“I thought that too… … A little suspicious… … .”
BS clicked his tongue as if he was pathetic.
“Are you looking for the culprit? Don’t be quick to doubt, anyone should be suspicious, man. Did you see the bad guy wearing the phrase “I’m a bad guy” on his forehead?”
BS also once started a relationship based on trust.
one now?
It starts with doubt.
In particular, if the opponent approached first, it was necessary to be suspicious.
What are you up to?
How did you approach it?
What are you trying to get from me?
The result of trusting people came back as a result of magic sealing. I had a guess as to who might have done this.
Ray shrugged and made a sullen expression.
“yes. did you see Aren’t Zordic guys like that? I am a bastard!”
“That’s because they are ignorant. really smart… … .”
“I know. So what should I do next? Shall we dig the Meyer siblings?”
After thinking for a moment, BS shook his head.
“no. Mayer is a tricky opponent. You know. I will not look into it separately. You keep an eye out for the rest of them.”
“What are you planning to do if you find the culprit?”
“I’ll have to think about it later.”
Implementing magic and killing people with a very small amount of mana?
If what Dante saw is true, the culprit is strong. Moreover, he was a man who did not mind disrespecting life and breaking the law.
‘What kind of story would it have been drawn at the age of only late teens… … .’
If it harms us, we must kill it. However, there was no need to deal with it at this time.
Isn’t there a saying, Lee Jei? It is also a way to use a good villain to eliminate enemies.
BS already had a painful experience.
After confronting the injustice head-on, BST collapsed. The team that is still talked about as the strongest of all time, Blue Star.
The visible enemy is not a threat. Important cards should not be discarded early. The leading role must be put in at the decisive moment.
Until then, I was thinking of using supporting characters to deal with trash mobs. If possible, it would be nice if the supporting actors were also hostile forces.
“really. I want to move my residence soon.”
It doesn’t matter that BS is alive. BS was a person who was alive and well on paper.
What they’re afraid of is BS affecting the world. That’s why I live a reclusive life.
I will no longer be involved in worldly affairs. So, you show by your actions that you don’t have to feel threatened.
Ray grabbed his briefcase and stood up.
“yes. Let me know when you decide on a place.”
“You don’t come often either.”
“You hate being alone. That’s why you’re coming.”
“I understand how you feel, so from now on, call me often to say hello, you bastard.”
“yep. Then let’s go.”
Three hours after Ray left.
Jia Han knocked on the bunker door without warning.
“I’m here.”
“What are you doing? No contact.”
BS was genuinely surprised.
Jia Han did not come to the bunker for a while. The last time I visited was right before I took up the professorship… …
I guess it’s only been 3 years.
BS did not welcome Jia Han.
“You are a man. I told you not to come suddenly, so why did you come all the way here?”
“Do you think I came all the way here?”
Jia Han, who was saddened by the bruising of BS, went to the sofa and sat down with her mouth pouting.
“Do not worry. You know that I personally invested in the Gyeongju ruins restoration project, right? Actually, it was because of the professor. I’m going to use it as an excuse to visit the site from time to time.”
“Don’t do that.”
“yes.”
If BS says not to do it, it is right not to do it.
Han Ji-ah knew the reason, so she didn’t ask anymore.
“Still, please be kind. Aren’t you being too cold?”
“You are famous. There are many eyes to see. Would you tell me not to come because I don’t want to see you?”
“yes. You hate me for not being cheap.”
“Hey. I’m glad you know, man.”
BS drank a cup of lemon tea and handed it to Jia Han. After tasting the lemon tea, Jia Han smiled.
“You said you didn’t like it, so I guess you kept the lemon curd for Ji-ah Han?”
Jia Han did not like sweet food very much. So, the lemon curd for Han Ji-ah was made with only 1/4 of sugar.
I haven’t been here for 3 years
To think he was preparing lemon curd for a disciple who might come at any time. Jia Han was deeply moved.
“Sounds like lemon syrup for Jiah Han. I put it in to eat, Yonsuk-ah. There is a guy who says he has diabetes and stir-fries it.”
“Yes, yes, you will.”
Jia Han thought.
‘lie.’
BS is not someone who won’t eat just because someone told them not to.
Do you think you’re going to eat too much sugar? If you’re going to nag, go away! The exit door is over there! would have said
“The dragon is.”
“Didn’t you forcefully make me ming out? months ago.”
Shape Shifter.
Jia Han was a shapeshifter who could change her appearance freely.
