Episode 141 The Identity of the Villain (1)
Back at the academy, Bikir thought about what happened last night.
‘The guy wearing the black sack. He must have used Quo Vadis’ blunt technique, right?’
A monster with the word ‘Ephebo’ engraved on his chest.
It was about the level of a senior graduate, so I had to put a lot of effort into handling it.
It was a pity that even that could not stop him from running away in the middle.
‘I’m going to have to go around even more hotly from tomorrow night. Well, I’m sure we’ll see each other again if we go through all the places where the devil’s stench comes from.’
If you don’t come out, you won’t be able to come out.
Because the devil will make all the businesses he has built in the human world into a mess.
‘Do demons especially like human blood, especially the blood of children… … It would be enough to focus on the most comfortable nurseries, hospitals, and monasteries. For a little smoother hunting, I need to become a sword master as soon as possible.’
Vikir is currently a top grader and has fully regained the powers of her previous life.
To this, the blessing of the River Styx, the demonic sword Baalzebub, the 10th type of Baskerville swordsmanship, and the experience gained from killing numerous monsters were added to the point where he could fight against the sword master.
Considering the age of just 18 years old, the potential for future development is truly limitless.
‘First of all, the seventh tooth. You have to master it perfectly from the 7th meal in Baskerville… … .’
When Bikir is complicating various thoughts in his mind.
“Now, pay attention everyone!”
There was a voice that woke Bikir from his thoughts.
A sophomore girl stood in front of the first-year students and focused their attention.
On her name tag, the following inscription can be seen:
<Newspaper Department (media social participation club): Ryukion (Λύκειον)>
club.
Student self-governing activities, also called circles, conferences, and small groups.
This organization, named ‘Ryukion’, was a small newspaper run by about 30 students.
However, unlike the small scale of newspapers, their influence was enormous.
Newspapers published daily, which compiled news from inside and outside the academy, always sold like hot cakes and were in great demand outside the academy as well.
The students wanted to receive as soon as possible the issues inside the academy (even if they were minor), and parents and stakeholders outside the academy added.
It was natural that the world’s attention was focused on them, as the giants that would move the world in the future were a group gathered from when they were still young.
And, isn’t Bikir also a person who desperately needs information more than anyone else?
A hunter who hides his identity inside the academy during the day and lives as an ordinary student, while going outside the academy to hunt demons at night.
To do so, the information inside the academy must also be used to the fullest.
The only way to know what happened at night faster than the morning newspaper and to know what happened during the day faster than the evening newspaper is to go into a place that makes morning or evening newspapers.
A newspaper inside the academy like Ryukion.
‘Anyway, surprisingly, there aren’t many members.’
Bikir turned his head and looked around the scene inside the newspaper department.
A magic rotary press that prints mana screens on paper and a room lined with various photographic materials.
However, the number of people in the room was not very large.
Several sophomores who are leading the freshmen in the club. And the rest were freshmen like Bikir.
The entry of freshmen in the current newspaper department was as follows.
Don Quixote Tudor (cold weapon donation class A).
Sinclair (Fever Weapons Class A).
Sancho Barataria (Cold Arms Donation Class A).
Usher Bianca (Cold Arms Donation Class B).
Piggy (cold weapon donation class B class).
Bikir (Cold Arms Donation Class B).
At first, more newbies came in.
However, Ryukion was a very tight club, and the amount of work to be done was too great to be called a simple hobby group.
Moreover, at the academy, where the exams were already tough, it was impossible to combine study and club activities unless you had a fair amount of ability, as even a little neglect of individual study was likely to result in a grade being suspended.
Even Saint Dolores Rune Quo Vadis, the head of the newspaper club, was famous for being a workaholic, so it was only natural that the freshmen could not stand it and quickly fell away.
It was said that it was said that it was even rumored that it was more difficult to work as a student reporter for the newspaper club led by Dolores than to take the midterm and final exams of the required major classes.
In that way, the remaining first graders were only outstanding guys in their own way.
A senior in the second grade gathered the first graders and asked.
“How did you end up in the newspaper club? Our Ryukion is famous for being tough.”
Tudor was the first to respond.
“Hahaha, I’m Alpha Man, so this is no problem! Academic too! Club too! All can do it!”
Indeed, it was the chief of the Cold Weapons Donation, the confidence of being from the 7th family.
Next, Sancho opened his mouth.
“hmm. I stayed because I didn’t want people to think I was a strong fool. When you say the newspaper department, something seems intellectual. I want to be an intelligent man.”
Everyone was a little surprised by the unexpectedly serious answer.
Next was Piggy.
“Well, I won, originally because I like to collect and analyze information… … Chu, I think it’s a vocation!”
It stuttered a lot, but it was still a pretty bold aspiration.
This time the schoolboy Sinclair said.
“Aren’t money, information, and power originally inseparable? Among them, I think information is the most important.”
It was an answer that accurately understood the inseparable dynamics that move the world.
Finally, Bianca opened her mouth.
“Ugh. I signed up after being tricked by Dolores-senpai.”
Are you fooled? Everyone turned to Bianca with puzzled looks.
Bianca seemed a bit hesitant, then answered truthfully.

“He said that this is a ‘sniper’ club… … .”
that’s not wrong Sometimes newspapers have articles about shooting someone.
When Bianca finished speaking, everyone laughed loudly.
A sophomore girl laughed and slapped Bianca on the shoulder.
“If you look at it that way, this is a sniper club. Look at this article!”
She showed a sports article on page 2 of the last issue of the morning newspaper.
The number of views and comments were displayed on the magically animated photos.

Crazy results with nearly 50,000 views and 30,000 comments.
The moment they read this article, Tudor and Sancho burst into laughter.
“Wah ha ha ha ha! Hey Bikir! Is this the right day? The day we did Naphtali!”
“… … .”
Bikir let out a light sigh, resting his forehead on his hand.
Meanwhile, Bianca is silent with her head turned away with a pathetic expression, while Sinclair stares at the newspaper article with Bikir’s photo.
Piggy was staring at Bikir, who seemed to be friendly with Tudor and Sancho, with envy.
Right then.
Newspaper club Ryu K-On’s visit to the club suddenly opened.
“Hey guys!”
The head of Ryukion, Saint Dolores, called a meeting today with an enthusiastic expression.
She gathered the first, second and third year students together and began discussing what would be published in today’s evening newspaper.
“Last night, sophomore and junior reporters went out of the academy to cover the story. The articles are well chosen, so all you have to do is decide on the headline.”
Dolores placed the finished articles on the table.
Topics covered by the articles were:
[Unpublished article] / Hits: 0
-October 0, last night at dawn. An incident occurs when a mysterious assailant appears and destroys the 00 nursery school… …
Unusually, the attacker did not touch the riches in the safe… …
It concludes that it is not the act of an unfamiliar criminal in a grudge relationship… …
Nothing has been revealed about his identity, where he is aiming, and how much combat power he has… …
The damage suffered by the nursery school as a result of this incident… …
The number of girls between the ages of 10 and 13 who died unjustly is only confirmed… …
On the other hand, the official opinion of the imperial family and the religious chant Quo Vadis has not yet been released… …

Last night, an unidentified monster invaded a nursery school on the outskirts of the Hwangdo, killed the head of the nursery school and many poor orphaned children, and turned the surrounding area into a mess.
It is presumed that he did not touch the gold or jewels in the safe, and that he only intended to kill thoroughly.
… … Well, it was something like this.
Bikir looked at it and thought.
‘There are a lot of misunderstandings.’
The girls were killed by the devil, not by Vikir.
However, the imperial guards who arrived late seemed to have judged that the demons were also the work of Bikir.
‘… … It doesn’t matter. I won’t be caught anyway. However, we need to thoroughly investigate the data of the nursery school raid through Sindi Wendy. It must have something to do with Viscount Gambino’s slave auction that I robbed in the past.’
While all the newspaper staff were contemplating what to headline the article, Vikir alone was thinking about completely different things.
Meanwhile, serious discussion continues on the table.
Everyone was eager to put their own headline on this article that would be published on the front page of a newspaper that the whole country could see.
“A fearsome villain is born!?”
“Outside the academy, a monster that roams the ecliptic has appeared!?”
“What are the imperial guards doing!”
“A challenge to the unprecedented villain, the Quo Vadis family!?”
“Girls, a mysterious massacre. Who is behind it!?”
Provocative titles pour in.
But none of them struck a chord with me, and the discussion stalled.
The clever newspaper staff soon discovered the cause of the slow progress.
“ah! The villain doesn’t have a name yet!”
“that’s right. I don’t feel emotional because they just call me a villain or a heinous criminal!”
“First of all, let’s come up with a nickname for that villain!”
Ominous nicknames such as ‘King of the Cave’, ‘Son of Sam’, ‘King of Murderer’, ‘Human Butcher’, and ‘Bluebeard’ are usually attached to heinous criminals.
Therefore, this villain also needed a nickname that could fit in his mouth.
One day, a being suddenly appeared without warning and terrorized the night of the ecliptic.
A rare villain who brutally murders a prominent dignitary in society or a well-known mercenary and then disappears like a ghost without leaving any clues.
What should we call this unprecedented villain?
The Newspaper Department students were excited, so you and I participated in the villain nickname contest.
“Since it happened at the Jebodang, how about ‘The Wolf of the Jebodang’?”
“Raids and murders didn’t happen only in the area of Jebodang. How about ‘The Raven of Misfortune’?”
“too long. How about ‘orphan predator’? You have an impact.”
“The word ‘orphan’ is too discriminatory and demeaning. If that’s the case, let’s say ‘daycare raider’.”
“But there are many facilities that have been attacked other than the nursery school. There were monasteries, hospitals, and chapels, and there was also a ward office. How about this instead? ‘Mr. Terrorist’!”
“Um~ This is rather difficult.”
Opinions like this and that came and went, but nothing really came to my mind.
“… … .”
“… … .”
“… … .”
Right when everyone’s opinions are in a lull for a while.
Saint Dolores muttered softly unconsciously.
“… … The Hound of the Night.”
