Episode 54. My People (4)
There is a saying that the original culprit reappears at the scene.
Usually, it’s to clean up after something has happened.
I’m telling you this in case you misunderstand, but I didn’t do anything wrong.
I’m just heading back to the field to finish what I started.
Of course, it would be difficult if you encountered an unexpected third party at the scene.
In fact, it would be troublesome even if the person you expected turns out.
“… … .”
The cold, falling snow conveyed an icy chill.
Our head, your face feels as heavy as wet cotton today.
“Explain.”
I could feel her negative emotions in her short, single question.
The scene where the bloody feast took place that night in Jeollanam-do is so pristine that it seems as if time has been turned back.
Moreover, there was another familiar face in front of the head of the family.
I said regardless.
“The name is Kellyn Diego. My status is a full-time knight belonging to Belias. “She is the leader of the watchers who have been sent to me.”
Kelin was lying helpless on the dirt floor, with his eyes and mouth sealed.
Of course, the cleanup of this scene was done by the Mist members, including the head of the Silica family.
It’s not just simple cleaning up.
Although I happened to deal with Barrett’s gang first, they were the ones who came after me.
In fact, there were separate crows that insisted on watching over me.
And those guys were definitely at the scene too.
I remember there were five at the time.
Is there only one person in front of me right now?
It seems that everyone else has flown beyond the other world.
“I’ve been watching you quietly since it seemed like you were taking care of things on your own, but it seems like you had quite a few enemies in your hometown.”
“I think it would be correct to say that there were no allies.”
If there were any, it would be Emily or Ellis.
“What did Barrett do?”
“I threw it in front of the healing center, trying to survive. “He probably would have been discovered by now by healers who were trying to clean up the yard.”
“It was brave of you not to kill him.”
“If I had tried to kill him, the head of the family would have come right over and stopped him.”
She didn’t really try to deny it.
Even if he is a piece of trash, he is still labeled as an aristocrat.
Their position is fundamentally different from that of commoner students like Resimus.
If emotions were to kill beforehand, not only would the Academy be in turmoil, but the relationship between countries would also become very ambiguous.
If there were any more exaggerations, the peace on the continent that had lasted for 100 years could have been shattered.
Of course, I am not so foolish that I cannot make such a rational decision.
For a moment, out of excitement, I thought about killing him, but instead, I brought him pain worse than death, so I don’t think he’ll ever open his mouth.
“The more I see of your abilities, the more I am impressed. Power that surpasses the assassins of Mist, eloquence enough to make a deal with the steadfast President Kundel, and even the mental power to wield a magic sword… … . “He is showing the best he can show as a successor.”
Who can be happy when you praise them with such cruel eyes?
Either way, she continued speaking with a dry face.
“I don’t really want to ask you about what happened in your hometown and how you grew up. Honestly, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t curious, but I still wouldn’t ask. “The same goes for Aer.”
Sometimes what you don’t know is more helpful to you and those around you than what you know.
The job of an assassin is to simply pursue the goal in front of him, without having to be swayed by personal emotions or background.
She would know best about that.
“But it’s troublesome if things like this keep happening. Like Barrett and the crows here, there will continue to be people who are jealous and suspicious of your actions. “Then wouldn’t it be really annoying for you too?”
“I agree. However, that doesn’t mean you have to keep looking after it. “What I did will have to be resolved on its own.”
Seeing me not even shaking, she sighed.
“I hope you can understand the teacher’s feelings that it is not easy to do that. It’s okay to punish the guy who touched your seed. However, such drastic methods within the Academy will eventually lead to a crisis for you. Then not only you but those around you will be in danger. We can’t see that? “You are the heir who appeared somehow, and I will protect you at all costs.”
I will protect it at all costs… … .
I want to ask again why a person who was so firm was so cool when I said I would leave the organization in my past life.
It’s something you can’t get an answer for if you ask anyway.
I shrugged my shoulders and said.
“Punishment is an act that induces positive development by providing negative stimulation to the target. However, what I did was not punishment. “It is a kind of warning that by giving negative stimulation to the target, if it climbs further, it will be cut down and crushed.”
What am I supposed to do to encourage positive development in those bastards?
I don’t even want to be rehabilitated.
All you have to do is live like a rat and not be noticed by me.
“Are you jealous of me? It’s just the entitlement of incompetent people. Actually, I don’t care about such gossip. However, if something like this happens that touches someone other than me… … ”
I felt it for sure after this incident.
“Then I will find them all and take pictures. That’s the way I want to live… … .”
As I promised myself during my meeting with Aer, in this life I have to correct the things I should have done and the things I could not do.
Have you ever been told to look around?
I feel like I know what that idiot god is saying to some extent.
The same goes for the other members, including the head of the family in front of me.
Everyone is on my fence and in my category.
I will never abandon those who are willing to sacrifice their lives for me because of problems caused by me.
Well, as long as you don’t hit me in the back.

Perhaps because he was moved by my firm determination, the head of the family’s upright gaze seemed to have relaxed a little.
“I hope we don’t have to rush around.”
“I will try my best.”
I also responded with a small smile to the simple smile.
“I guess my job is done. Leave this crow behind. “Looking at his eyes, he doesn’t seem to have any intention of killing me.”
The head of the family left the place, leaving behind an unintentional gift(?).
As soon as she left, a black fog rose from within her arms.
[It’s useless to keep form… … .]
It was Kayram, whose eyes were downcast as if he was displeased with something.
“What else are you complaining about?”
[If I tell you, will you understand? That’s it! So what are you going to do?]
Kayram asked as he looked at Kelin, who had collapsed in front of him.
He was as motionless as a dead body.
“… … .”
You’re awake, man.
I can hear my heart pounding all the way from here.
“Don’t act like you passed out. I know you’re awake.
“… … !”
When the fog and gag covering his eyes were removed, his sweaty face was revealed.
“Da, you are Sian Berth…” … ?”
Since this was still my first time meeting him, it was natural for him to react like this.
“Dae, what on earth are you? Why does the youngest member of the Bert family have such power? They are clearly followers of the Black Mist… … ?”
“I didn’t release you to ask such questions. “I’ll give you 5 seconds, so think carefully about what you need to say in this situation.”
He gave his answer in 1 second, not 5 seconds.
“Do you want an answer to what you want? Unfortunately, my mouth is not that light. “You’d rather kill me right here!”
I’ve felt this since my past life, but this guy is really strong.
Even I, who was once crazy about that devil bastard, is so strong that I feel a little bit of awe of him.
Still, he’s a very different guy.
A foolish guy who can’t tell the difference between poop and soybean paste and thinks his beliefs are the best in the world.
You look like me?
Well, that could be it.
But I don’t feel any sympathy for this guy.
because.
This guy was the one who tried to kill me the first time.
He was the first person who tried to assassinate me because he was jealous and envious of me, saying that my existence would not be needed in the family.
So, this is the man I killed with my own hands.
“I watched everything you did! It was as if I was seeing a devil, not a person! Maybe he noticed that side of you right away! In addition to ruining the Berthe family, your presence will probably cause great harm to him as well!”
By “him” here, I’m sure you’re referring to that child, right?
That’s right, I’m still so young that I’m already afraid and wary, right?
It’s so funny that I can’t even make sense of it.
I said without showing it.
“If I let you go now, what would you do?”
“I will return to Beliath immediately and tell my master everything about you. Any threats or coercion are useless, and it doesn’t matter even if you cast a ‘covenant spell’ on me. “I’d rather bite my tongue and die right here!”
“I’m sure. So, Eshel, that bastard will continue to use you.”
“Do not take his name in vain!”
“Can I give you some advice? “That won’t last long.”
“… … .”
The glaring eyes are so fierce that you want to rip them out.
“If he had trusted you so much, you wouldn’t have died young.”
That goes for me too… … .
“What are you talking about… … .”
“I don’t know. They say this life is better even if you end up in a dog poop, but anyway, let’s continue our lives a little longer. “I’m using it more meaningfully for myself.”
I gathered a large amount of mana inherent in my body into one hand.
“I guess you didn’t understand what I said. No matter what you do, you can’t change me… … ”
“I never said I would change it. “I’m just going to make something new.”
A large amount of mana, on a different level than before, was concentrated in the hand.
“This, this power… … ? “What are you trying to do now?”
I think it’s an honor in its own way.
Because I’m just trying to use high-level magic that’s too cumbersome to use for someone like you.
Just then, the clouds blocking the sun cleared, and hidden shadows began to appear.
I grabbed the mana I had gathered in my hand and slashed it towards Kelin’s shadow.
“Creation: Shadow Personality!”
-Peeeee!
Along with the spell, pitch-black light rose from the shadow that touched the hand, and the concentrated mana was transferred to Kelin’s body using the shadow as a conduit.
Kelin, who accepted this, had a mesmerized expression on his face, as if he were a shell whose soul had escaped.
Wow, this is the first time in a while that it’s really hard.
9-star dark attribute magic ‘Shadow Personality’.
A magic that creates a new personality from the shadow of the human second soul and gives it to the target’s body.
It was a top-level magic that I had only used once in my previous life.
After regaining my momentarily dizzy mind, I looked at Kelin again and asked.
“Do you know who you are?”
“Kelin Diego. “I am an official guardian knight belonging to Belias, and I came to Luwen with the mission of watching over Master Xian.”
It felt like my tone of voice had become much more obedient.
“What master do you serve?”
“… … .”
Kelin paused for a moment and then continued.
“Originally, we invited Master Eshel, the eldest son of the Berthe family, but… … I have absolutely no desire to do that now. Instead, I would like to take Master Xian, who created me, as my new master. Please accept it!”
Kayram clicked his tongue and said at the sight.
[There are no puppets.]
Because that’s what it was made for.
“From now on, listen carefully to everything I say. Then return to Beliath and tell Eshel, who will be waiting for you. Everything, without exception… … .”
“Shin Kellin Diego, I will follow Master Xian’s orders!”
His face was full of determination as always.
