I Became an Outcast in the Academy

10. Struggling (6)

Sharp.

The warlock’s body tilted for a moment, but then he collapsed helplessly on the floor.

That is natural. Because the warlock was killed by Cartesia’s surprise attack just now.

There is no human being who can survive even if his body is split in two, so the warlock must have met death as well.

However, Cartesia’s gaze as she looked at the warlock’s body was just cold.

“Wake up. “Because I know full well that you’re not dead.”

“… Hoo. “I never thought I would have guessed it at a glance.”

In an instant, the warlock’s corpse turns into something black and writhing, and soon begins to take on a human form again.

After a while, the warlock’s appearance was restored to its original state.

Even the hem of her clothes that Cartesia had cut off just now had returned to its original state.

“… “Is that guy even immortal?”

Xian looked at the warlock with a puzzled look, but Cartesia actually answered in a way that it was no big deal.

“What is immortality? From the beginning, that body was a puppet controlled by that guy, Kirerion. Do you think a warlock who doesn’t even trust his own parents would drag his body into a meeting with another person? “Definitely not.”

At Cartesia’s words, her warlock, Cyreion, looked at her with a very amused expression.

“Gosh, how on earth did you know that? And how on earth do you know my identity?”

“I, too, wanted as much as possible to not know that a person like you exists in the world, but unfortunately, when you sit in a high position, there are many cases where you hear various things even if you don’t want to.”

Cartesia did not want to give too much of an explanation to Cyreion, who was practically her enemy, so she gave a brief explanation, but to her regret, Cyreion, Cartesia’s enemy, was not the only one present.

“That woman’s name is Cartesia von Caius. “She is the princess of the empire.”

“Ho… Right. “For some reason, I thought there was something about him that made him look precious, but he must have been a member of the royal family.”

Kyreion, who was mumbling like that, felt a shiver run through his body the moment his eyes met Cartesia.

‘A strong man who has reached an unimaginable level!’

At first glance, Cartesia was nothing more than a beautiful girl, but Kyreion felt a glimpse of the absolute power hidden beneath that beautiful shell.

Without realizing it, Cyreion swallowed her dry saliva down her throat.

In his long life, there were not many people who made him feel this way.

And until this moment, Kyreion trusts his own sixth sense, which has saved his life countless times, more than anything else in the world.

That’s why Cyreion couldn’t do more than look down on Cartesia, calling her a mere brat.

Because Cyreion’s sixth sense was fiercely warning him.

If he were to let his guard down even a little, that woman’s sword could take his life at any time.

‘But there is no reason to be scared before even fighting.’

The place where they are standing is one of the hiding places prepared in advance by the warlocks.

In other words, it is the headquarters and home ground of warlocks.

In the first place, he never shows himself unless he believes that his safety is thoroughly guaranteed.

Kyreion, who was carefully watching Cartesia with heightened senses, suddenly realized something.

I can’t feel any signs of anyone else around here.

I thought she would have come with a bodyguard in case of an unexpected situation since she has the status of princess of the empire, but why?

“No way…” Did you two come here alone? “Only the two of us, without accompanying anyone else?”

As Cyreion muttered in an embarrassed voice, Cartesia nodded her head.

“I couldn’t help it. I wanted to bring an army and kill you, but… If you bring more than a certain number of people, there’s no way you won’t notice. If you survive today and run away somewhere else… “It could cause quite a bit of trouble later on.”

In fact, Cartesia did not want to set up a plan to enter the enemy’s lair without any gunfire alone with Xian.

Regardless of the fact that he got hurt, Xian could have been in great danger at the moment.

But even as Cartesia, there was really nothing we could do.

Aya Cartesia Having had many years of experience confronting Cyreion, she knew well how to evade his senses and erase her presence, but she expected her guard knights to learn those methods in a short period of time. It was a difficult task.

Even if you use some strange method to deceive Kyreion’s senses and lead a force that can clearly suppress him, Kyreion will most likely avoid battle with them and immediately think of giving himself up.

So this method was the best. In order to cut off all this terrible evil and put an end to everything here today.

“I don’t know whether to call this arrogance or belittling me. In the past, even the Duke of Orphega was unable to catch me, so did you think that at best, you two brats would be able to defeat me?”

Cartesia smiled and answered Kyreion’s words.

“I’m sorry, but I’m going to deal with you alone. Because there is someone who has already made a prior commitment to Xian.”

As if agreeing with Cartesia’s words, Sian nods her head.

“I have a pre-arranged engagement with my cute little sister. “I don’t plan on doing anything like joint work, so don’t worry.”

Xian also knows it well. How strong and dangerous is that dark wizard?

But just as Cartesia respects Xian, Xian also respects Cartesia.

Although she did not say it to herself, she could easily sense that Cartesia had a personal grudge against the warlock.

Of course, based on common sense, I know very well that there can be no contact between Cartesia, who has lived a noble life as a member of the royal family, and Kyreion, who has been hiding all his life to avoid the pursuit of the empire… Even considering that, Sian didn’t ask her any questions.

‘Actually, it is possible to guess to some extent what the truth is.’

Although Cartesia was careful about her mouth, it was not difficult to guess what secrets she was hiding.

Didn’t you reveal too much during your conversation with Xian to begin with?

In that case, Kyreion will become Cartesia’s rightful share.

It’s as if Xian is trying to resolve all his old grudges with Lobelia here.

With that thought in mind, Xian cuts off any further attention from Cartesia and Kyreion and only looks at Lobelia.

“Why on earth did you betray me? Did the past times we spent together have any meaning to you? “I won’t ask such tacky questions anymore.”

Lobelia was a clear enemy of her cyan in the first place when she joined hands with the warlock to somehow exclude her cyan.

Now, no matter how many excuses she makes, I can’t convince her, much less forgive her.

“As for how to deal with traitors, we already ended Ellie’s troubles by cutting her down.”

Ellie was regretting her past. She was constantly agonizing over whether her current course of action was correct.

That’s why I saved him. She will continue to live in hell and experience that pain until the end of her life.

But just looking at Lobelia, she did not show any sign of regret towards him.

No, rather than regretting it, she was struggling with her hideous appearance to keep herself from losing what she held in her hands.

In this state, there would be no point in her talking to Lobelia like she did with Ellie.

“Really? How did you decide to treat me?”

Xian answered Lobelia’s question seriously.

“I was once family with you. And unfortunately, at this very moment, you are still my sister. “I hate to admit it, but the bond as family is not something that can be easily broken.”

At her words, Lobelia’s own eyes sparkled.

I wondered if there might be some trace of affection for her family remaining in Xi’an’s heart.

But her expression did not change one bit. There was no longer any trace of her distress or expression of concern.

As I said before, Sian had already finished all her worries and made up her mind.

“Actually, kicking me out of Lutra or spreading rumors to exclude me is quite acceptable. “If it had been that bad, I would have ended up repaying you in the same way that I did.”

But joining hands with her warlock was beyond her grasp. From there, it becomes impossible for Sian to get her personal revenge on Lobelia and end everything for her.

“Still, we were family at least once… And the thought of you being tormented by people I have never met before made me feel uneasy.”

It wasn’t that she was worried that Lobelia would be in constant pain until the moment she died, but she felt that if that happened, she would have to take revenge on someone other than herself, so she felt something uneasy. I just had a feeling.

That’s why she decided. Although it is an ending that I do not like, I will decide what to do with Lobelia here.

“So, I will personally kill you right here. Lobelia.”

Xian smiled coldly, aiming her sword at her.

“That is my final mercy for once thinking of you as family.”
