I Became an Outcast in the Academy

10. Struggling (3)

To conclude, from the beginning, Lobelia had no intention of trusting the warlock at all.

No, to be more precise, Lobelia does not trust anyone in the world.

For her, her trustworthy counterpart was nothing more than something that meant to her, ‘she herself holds the other’s weakness.’

That’s why Lobelia trusted Xian from early on.

Because she knew better than anyone that he would not betray her as long as he clung to the useless thing called her family affection.

She also trusts Elina Leticia and Sephia.

Because she shares the weakness of ‘betraying her brother’ with her girls, she knows well that she cannot betray herself since she is in the same boat. Because I knew.

Therefore, Lobelia managed to trust her and her warlock who was currently holding her hand.

More than anyone else in the world, warlocks are probably longing to obtain their brother’s ‘power’.

And in order for the warlocks to obtain her brother, the help of none other than Lobelia and other women was essential.

No matter how many warlocks they are, it is almost impossible to kidnap a cadet from Lutra, which is located in the middle of the system.

Of course, I know. How strong are the warlocks?

Just looking at the fact that they can sneak into Luthra in broad daylight and evade the Empire’s pursuit without any problem, you can easily understand that they are stronger than Lobelia.

However, as can be seen from the fact that warlocks have an extraordinary talent for digging into other people’s blind spots like rats, there is a limit to their power.

If he had absolute power in the first place, he would have turned the world upside down long ago, and there would have been no reason to swim in the gutter and struggle to shake off the Empire’s pursuit.

And if we turn this upside down, it means that if the warlocks were able to obtain the power of Xian, the balance between them and the empire could be completely changed.

This is why warlocks cannot betray Lobelia.

At least until Xian was clearly in their hands, Lobelia had no choice but to stand in a more superior position than them.

Yes, at least at this moment it was definitely like that.

However, Lobelia herself knew best that Lobelia’s dominance could not continue forever.

‘The warlocks are something that cannot be trusted. So, at the right time, you have to throw them away and find a new way… ‘

While Lobelia was walking down the street, weighing things in her mind, a voice suddenly came from behind her.

“Hey, Lobelia. “Stop for a moment.”

Tall.

And when Lobelia heard that voice, she suddenly stopped her own steps.

Because I knew very well who the voice was and that I couldn’t just ignore those words that were telling me to stop.

When she turned her head and looked behind her, the person Lobelia had expected was looking at her with a sullen expression on her face.

It was Xian.

“Oh my… “Someone said it was my brother?”

The moment the title ‘brother’ came out of Lobelia’s mouth, her Xian’s face was distorted like a piece of toilet paper.

“Who can call me oppa without permission?”

“Oh my, that’s so heartless. “Still, we have a bond from living under the same roof, so I never thought I’d say something like that.”

When Lobelia slyly shrugged her shoulders and said her words, her eyes sneered and sneered as if they were laughable.

“You are the one who made me talk like this. And you don’t think of me as your brother either.”

“Then you won’t listen to me if I tell you to make peace or decide to a draw, right?”

“You guys are so shameless that you never showed me mercy when you tried to kick me out of Luthra.”

Lobelia clicked her tongue softly at her Xian’s extremely firm words.

In fact, she had already said it once, and she did not expect from the beginning that her draft would respond to her own proposal.

Not long ago, Sian couldn’t even walk outside of her without holding her face, let alone insulting her in the middle of the street, but since when did things turn around like this? .

But in some ways, this was an opportunity.

Xian is letting down his guard now. She must have defeated the foolish Ellie in front of her, and was intoxicated with the sense of accomplishment that she had achieved even a small amount of her revenge, and she was now throwing her dispute at Lobelia like this.

Yes, she is intoxicated with her small sense of accomplishment, and as long as she continues to let down her guard, it is not a bad thing for Lobelia.

Just as Lobelia once let her guard down and now the tide has completely turned, Cian will also not be able to look down at her own feet and everything will fall apart in an instant.

“Anyway, why did you suddenly stop me? No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think we’re meant to be chatting happily in the middle of the street like this.”

Xian answered Lobelia’s question.

“Not long ago, you were walking around the campus with a suspicious person dressed in black robes from head to toe. What on earth is that? No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think I entered Lutra with official permission.”

“… What?”

At that moment, Lobelia, who was stabbed, flinched without realizing it.

‘How on earth?’

Didn’t the warlock clearly tell Lobelia?

At least among the cadets, there is no one who can break through the perception-impairing magic he has unleashed, and even if he is lucky enough to be able to break through, he will only feel a sense of discomfort with himself.

‘That idiot is real!’

The level of crisis itself is different when an ordinary cadet recognizes a warlock and feels suspicious, and when Sian notices the existence of a warlock.

If an ordinary cadet were to ask this question, they would be able to gloss over Lobelia’s line and move on, but such a modification would not work on her xian.

Because Sian went beyond the level of disapproval of Lobelia and was someone who was ready to bite Lobelia at any time.

If Sian continues to pursue Lobelia, or if it is revealed that she has joined hands with her warlock after borrowing Cartesia’s power… On that day, Lobelia came to an end.

‘When? And how?

We are confident that our countermeasures against tailings are perfect. And he went so far as to build a perfect alibi by borrowing the power of warlocks.

In fact, no one has ever suspected Lobelia.

But how could Cartesia speak to her in such a confident tone, as if she had known everything about her from the beginning?

As her lobelia feels a drop of cold sweat running down her own spine, her cyan looks at her like that and hides her sneer.

“Actually, it doesn’t really matter what that guy is. Even if it’s a wild dog rolling around in a gutter somewhere, or even if it’s a warlock, those things have nothing to do with me… “

Sian looks straight at Lobelia with her face full of ridicule.

“You also know full well that I had a duel with Ellie, and that at the end of it, Ellie withdrew from Luthra and Orphea was deprived of her position as Duke’s successor, right? Huh?”

How could Lobelia not know that fact? Ellie, that stupid b*tch challenged her brother to a duel that he didn’t ask her to, and ended up losing, which greatly reduced her Lobelia’s power.

If Ellie were to become Duke Orphega’s successor, she would use that power to completely devour her noble society. For Lobelia, losing her Ellie at this point was a great loss. That is.

“It was okay to trample on Eli like that… Now that I think about it, I feel a little regretful. Because Ellie was too weak. Is it really the case that I worked so hard to deal with something like this? “To the point where I feel empty.”

Xian was currently laughing at Ellie in front of Lobelia. At best she could trust such a weak woman and she would have thought of betraying and antagonizing her.

“So I want you to show me something. If you, like Ellie, end up rolling around on the floor without being able to show me anything, I feel like such an idiot that I have been heartbroken and hurt because of you guys. Huh?”

Jaw.

Sian places her own hand on her lobelia’s shoulder. And she whispers quietly into her ear.

“If you’ve already joined hands with a warlock, try some trick. And please don’t disappoint me. If you, like Ellie, can only show me trivial things… I think I’ll regret picking you up on the street that day… “

With those last words, Xian passes by Lobelia and leisurely disappears on the other side of her.

And as Lobelia stared blankly at Xian’s back, she soon fell down on her floor.

I know everything.

Now, Sian knows everything about what Lobelia is planning to do with her back hole.

But even though she knows what she is planning to do, her husband refuses to take any action.

Just as people get annoyed by a flying insect buzzing around, but no one puts forth their sincerity to catch it.

“… Yes, that means to my brother, I am no better than a flying insect. “Is this what you mean?”

With her humiliation and frustration digging deep into her heart, Lobelia clenches her fists so hard that they bleed. And she makes a promise to herself.

If that insignificant flying insect to you struggles to the end, I will clearly show you what can happen.
