I Became an Outcast in the Academy

10. Struggling (2)

“… Crazy guys. “You look very sick.”

Somewhere located somewhat far away from the place where Lobelia and the warlock were having a friendly conversation.

There, Cartesia was listening to the entire conversation they were having with her arms crossed.

Of course, Lobelia and the warlock not only hid themselves, but also took all kinds of precautionary measures out of concern that someone might overhear their conversation.

Starting from the awareness-impairing magic that the warlock has cast on himself, all kinds of spirits summoned by Lobelia are acting as their eyes and ears in this area, and not only that, they are bending the air itself so that their voices can be heard. It was preventing leakage.

This is a perfect preparedness plan that goes beyond the level of preventing eavesdropping and can only be described as paranoid.

Generally speaking, it would be impossible for any decent person, or even if the Duke of Orphea were here, to break through all the precautions and eavesdrop on the conversation without being noticed by those two.

And now, Cartesia was listening to the conversation between Lobelia and the warlock without any sign of difficulty.

The place where Cartesia is now and the place where the two of them are standing are a whopping 300 meters away, making it difficult to even see them with the naked eye, let alone hear them!

“… Yes, lobelia. “You haven’t even gotten tired of it and are planning to sell your brother out again.”

But at least for Cartesia, something like this was not that difficult.

This was not simply because Cartesia had better senses or stronger abilities than other warriors, including Duke Orphega.

Cartesia was just very familiar with ‘this type of work.’

In order to survive the clutches of the warlocks, or to clearly determine the location of those hiding like rats, one must have possessed at least one or two of these kinds of talents.

“It is often said that fate is something that repeats itself… “If it’s the same to this extent, it feels somewhat ironic.”

The person who came into contact with Lobelia just now was a warlock named ‘Kyreion’.

Not only does he have the skills to be ranked in the top three among the dark magicians who are hiding like rats, but he is actually in charge of leading them, a damn bastard.

“I never expected such a big guy to come out to make contact with something like Lobelia.”

At this point, the person named ‘Kyreion’ did not exist in this world.

Because he had never once engaged in external activities or committed anything that could be caught by the eyes of the empire.

But Cartesia knew in detail who Kyreion was, what abilities he had, and even what kind of bastard he was.

Before his return, Kyreion was a strong enemy who threatened Cartesia’s life several times, and at the same time, he was one of the main culprits who brought the empire to the brink of destruction.

“What… If those girls hadn’t betrayed Xian in the first place, there would have been no reason for the past to be in such a mess… “

Those damned b*tches who betrayed Xian had joined hands with the warlocks before their return, just like they do now.

Well, if we look at the details, the reasons why the women joined hands with the warlocks before and now were somewhat different.

Before their return, they succeeded in driving Xian out of Lutra and, after clearing away everything that stood in their way, they succeeded in ascending to the pinnacle of imperial power.

But for those traitors, it seems like that wasn’t enough, or maybe they didn’t like their position as hounds of the imperial family even though they had risen to the peak of power. He joined hands with wizards and brought the empire to the brink of destruction.

And, no matter how talented he may be, he is at best the cause of the empire’s near collapse due to being swayed by four girls –

“…..”

If possible, try not to think about the reason.

It is the past that has passed anyway, and something like that will never happen again.

After returning, wasn’t the reason why Cartesia was so busy moving around and taking care of all kinds of trivial matters herself, in order to never repeat such a future?

“Anyway… “How on earth should I deal with those?”

I feel like I want to raid the scene where they are working right now and rip out the heads of those two.

Actually it is not that difficult.

Kirerion is currently loosening her guard against those around her, trusting only her own power and the barrier she has placed around her.

But it couldn’t really be called carelessness.

He knew full well that he could not possibly be killed at the level of Lutra’s cadets or the professors residing here, so his decision could not simply be dismissed as arrogance or carelessness.

That’s why Cartesia was confident. It is not impossible to fight ‘Current Cyreion’ one-on-one and kill him.

But… If Kyreion immediately leaves or runs away from the scene instead of engaging in a one-on-one fight the moment he sees Cartesia, it will be very difficult to catch him.

No matter how you look at Kyreion, he was like a rat who managed to escape from the hands of the empire for over half a century.

If I could capture or kill that guy here, that would be the best option… I guess that’s difficult.

Also, if we cannot clearly catch Kyreion here, we will not be able to secure evidence that Lobelia and other traitors have joined hands with the warlocks.

Conclusively, even if it was Cyreion, Lobelia belonged to Xian.

Xian had the right to take revenge on the traitors, so in the end, there was only one path for Cartesia to choose.

“For now… Is there no choice but to watch the situation? “

When Cartesia said that with her sigh, the girl next to her, who had not said anything until now, burst into laughter.

“Why are you so disappointed? Anyway, the purpose of today was simple reconnaissance, right? And since Kyreion joined hands with Lobelia, there will be plenty of opportunities to catch him in the future.”

“… “There are plenty of opportunities?”

“Yes. Kyreion is a poisonous snake who will use any means possible to achieve his goals. Since he heard from Lobelia what kind of abilities her brother has, he will be desperate to capture her brother. “And all we have to do is stand by his brother’s side and gently snatch him by the scruff of the neck.”

When she spoke with a grin on her face, Cartesia clicked her tongue slightly as if it were funny.

“Yeah, I forgot again that you once sold your own brother to that bastard. This is why people like jobs with experience. “I have a lot of knowledge in related areas, so it’s quite useful in times like this.”

“I’m glad it’s useful in this way. “At least I think it’s much better than the past where she brought only trouble to her brother.”

Looking at her somewhat depressed expression, Cartesia decided not to be sarcastic anymore.

Even though she was an absolutely hateful being to Cartesia, she was still holding her hand for the same goal.

“But, I really don’t like your plan.”

Cartesia said that with her lips pouting.

“Just like this, we pretend to be idiots who didn’t notice anything, and put Xian, who knows nothing, in front of us, looking for an opportunity to capture those b*tches… “It may seem plausible on the surface, but if you look at the reality, it means that they are just using Xian as bait, right?”

No matter how much I think about it, I really don’t like the idea of using him as bait for warlocks who have been taken aback by Xian’s talent.

Before her return, she was even more like this considering the fact that she offered herself up as a bait several times to save her from her predicament.

For such dirty and unpleasant experiences, what happened before returning is enough.

So, in this life, I will never use Xian as bait. Wasn’t she standing here in the first place to change that sh*tty ending?

“Then what are you going to do? Her Royal Highness knows this very well. If we show even the slightest hint of something strange, they will give up everything without any regrets and hide underground again. “I think Your Highness knows very well how difficult it is to bring out warlocks who are determined to hide.”

“I know. But, from their perspective, Xian isn’t the only mouth-watering bait, right?”

“… Yes?”

“In my last life, I had no information, so I was helpless. But… It’s different this time. “This time, I have to make those bastards clearly know what they are paying for attacking me and Xian.”

Only then did the girl realize what Cartesia was trying to say. So, Cartesia is now-

“Before they attack us, we attack those bastards first.”

“… “Anything that dares to touch Xian is not worth saving even a single person in this world.”

I was planning to completely wipe out Lobelia and other traitors and warlocks from this world.
