“Tyrgen Mengblanc was murdered?”

Rudelena, the general manager of the Estelle Project and head of the research center, put down her coffee after hearing those words. Her eyes, which had been full of fatigue, became alive.

“Yes that’s right. First, the school informed Tirzen that he had returned home due to a serious illness. Of course, in the Meng Blanc family… … “We plan to deliver the news separately, but the higher-ups said they would remain silent anyway.”

“Hehe, that should be it. “Baron Menblanc doesn’t dare complain to Arniel for losing a child.”

In the world, the Barony of Menblanc is known as a large and fertile territory, but this is a big mistake. Baron Mengblanc was deep in debt, clinging to Arniel like a leech and devoted to him like a dog.

In other words, even if his child dies in Arniel, Baron Mengblanc will have no choice but to shed bloody tears and keep his mouth shut.

She leans back in her chair and slurps down her coffee! drank.

One thing that the candidates who participated in the Estelle Project have in common.

Most of the cases were because they were held hostage by Arniel and could not say anything even if something happened to their children, or because they were commoners, they had no power at all.

There are very rare exceptions, such as Ferta, who entered the candidate group through connections from higher-ups… This means that most of them are perfect for use as test subjects and then being discarded.

“Is it really okay for this to happen? If a candidate dies, will our plans be disrupted? … .”

“No, leave it alone. It was expected anyway. If you have the will to eliminate your competitors to take Estelle, and if you have the level of strength to overcome them all and survive in the end… … Wouldn’t he be a perfect fit for Estelle? “Hehehe.”

“… … okay.”

“Ah, is this finally over?”

The doctors lowered their heads without showing any emotion as they looked at the head of the laboratory, Rudelena, who stood up and stretched. In this way, it is essential that ‘small’ casualties occur during experiments conducted within Arniel.

“I hope it comes out quickly~ In principle, those subject to special management cannot know each other, but there is no such thing as a perfect secret in this world, right? Obtaining information and surviving is also a skill. Who will survive and claim Estelle? Who is the last surviving child? … Are you worthy of accepting Estelle into your body?”

If the final survivor emerges after a long time and dies while accepting Estelle, that would be funny in its own way.

“… … “Is this why you accepted so many candidates?”

“huh? of course. What is the most certain? It’s the same as the magic of ‘solitude’. “If you collect all kinds of poisonous insects and animals in a jar and have them kill and eat them, the last one will have all the poison and become the best poison!”

She spread her arms wide as if she was excited and even smiled brightly.

“Ah, I’m really looking forward to it. There are so many special students this year. “What happened to that child?”

“Days… … “Are you talking about this?”

“Yep. “What are the higher-ups saying?”

“I was told that I would have to wait a bit since it would require several screening processes.”

“Do you want to wait again? Ugh, it’s because the old folks aren’t flexible. Still, I’m glad it’s positive. “That child will soon become a ‘special care target.’”

For commoners, the medal of being subject to Arniel’s special care would be a sweet lure they could never refuse.

Arniel of the world personally gives you a rope, isn’t this truly an opportunity to rise in status?

Of course, most of them are rotten copper rope and there is only one golden copper rope… … .

“Hehe, this will be very fun.”

Rudelaina smiled happily and spoke to the researchers.

“Come on, let’s finish our research. Now slowly… … Because it is time to escort ‘Estelle’ to the ‘Spier of Radiance.’”

Now that we had some understanding of Estelle, it was time to start preparing to select a ‘contractor’.

The rumors died down quickly.

The professors themselves explained that ‘Tirgen’s hidden condition worsened, and he returned to his hometown for treatment.’

They said they would discipline him if he spread any more useless rumors, so he had no choice but to be quiet.

There were also students who did not.

“Professor Radedon. explain it to me please. “What are the recent events?”

“Ah, Little Princess Aylka. Hmm, that’s it… … .”

If the children of the five great magic families put pressure on him, even Arniel’s professors would have no choice but to be embarrassed. Even if it is a child of only fourteen.

“No matter how much I think about it, it’s strange. “It just so happens that it coincides with the time when I entered school, and strange incidents keep happening.”

“That didn’t coincide with the timing of Little Princess’s entrance… … .”

“Oh yeah? So what did it fit into? “I’m so curious.”

“… … .”

Professor Radedon broke into a cold sweat. In fact, he had no detailed knowledge of the project being carried out by his superiors, so he had no way of explaining it to Aylka.

“Ailka Little Princess. “Do you mind if I explain that?”

At that time, Aylka became angry at the sound of a low-pitched voice coming from the back of the lab and turned around.

“Uncle!”

A familiar face was there.

Ridief Wilzed.

He was a wizard of the 8th castle and a professor at Arniel. He was a close relative who had been with Aylka since she was a child.

“Ailka. “It’s been a while.”

“You didn’t even come to my entrance ceremony.”

“At that time, I was busy giving a lecture at the Royal Magic Tower.”

“Ah, I heard. “It was an honorable occasion.”

“So, Little Princess Aylka. “Do you really want to hear the truth about what’s happening at this school?”

Aylka’s expression, which had been smiling brightly at her uncle’s question, hardened slightly.

“… … Yes, I want to know.”

“I can tell you as much as I want later.”

“I’m an adult too.”

“You’re an adult, so you’re telling interesting stories. People who think of themselves as adults are children who cannot become adults. “Only those who still think of themselves as foolish can become adults.”

“… … .”

When Aylka slightly pursed her lips as if she was not satisfied with the answer and had a pouting expression on her face, Ridiev wrinkled his eyebrows as if he was troubled.

“Okay, I’ll tell you. but… … What I’m going to tell you now may be quite difficult for you to handle. It might affect your studies. Also, there is nothing you can do. “Your role is simply to understand and move on from the ‘little disturbances’ happening at this school.”

Is that okay?

Looking at her uncle who asked that question, Aylka slowly nodded. Now, no matter what warnings I heard, I just wanted to know the truth about the strange incidents happening at school.

Perfect! My uncle snapped his fingers and the room went dark. Aylka’s body trembled, but her uncle spoke as if to reassure her.

“The room was cut off from the outside.”

“then… … .”

“Okay, I’ll tell you. About the mysterious substance discovered in Ainglass, ‘Estel’… … .”

* * *

The lake city of Waspia was relatively quiet on a weekday evening.

This is because very few students went out on weekdays.

“Do you mean a travel permit?”

It was not understandable that the staff in the administrative office looked at Harang with peculiar eyes, who had been requesting to go out on weekdays.

“Why not? I need to see the lord of the sponsored magic tower… … .”

“aha. Sponsorship If you have business at the Mt Tower, of course you can. “Did you bring the seal of the Magic Tower?”

“Here it is.”

Unlike the children of high-ranking nobles, nobles with relatively low status were strict about going out on weekdays. What about commoners? I heard that unless it is a special event such as a summons from a sponsoring magic tower, it is rarely allowed.

‘… … It’s really quiet.’

Even the children of high-ranking nobles do not force themselves to go out on weekdays, so it felt strangely awkward to look at the quiet large city, unlike the noisy streets of the weekend.

At the time of Arniel’s entrance exam, the nobles from all over the world who had come and crowded around the place had all gone.

Harang walked Warspia. The people of Warspia looked at Arniel’s student wandering around in broad daylight with peculiar eyes.

“Oh my, how beautiful you are. “Would you like to come in and take a look at my clothes?”

“… … .”

Since this was the upper part of Warspia, it was a street where children of noble families mainly walked around, so there were often people who saw Harang and solicited customers.

To disguise himself as a commoner, he wore glasses and had his hair unkempt, but if you think of him as a noble, his white skin and fair hair could be seen by anyone as aristocratic.

‘Why are you asking me to come from a women’s clothing store?’ … .’

His destination was not the Magic Tower.

I set out to find the street where Tyrgen was said to have gone missing the other day.

Although it is said that the rumor died down after a day or two and that he returned home due to illness, it is said that on the day of the incident, a certain street in Warspia was definitely closed off.

‘There will definitely be traces.’

Arriving at his destination, Harang looked around in silence.

“… … .”

This alley must have been where the incident occurred, but there were no traces and only the occasional person wandering around.

Considering that when a murder case occurs, the street in question is controlled for several days, and even when the control is lifted, people do not come and go due to the discomfort, Arniel’s resourcefulness was truly remarkable.

‘The investigation has already ended and all traces have been removed with magic.’

At first, I thought about looking for witnesses, but I realized it was no use. If the residents of Warspia are tightly silenced by Arniel, they will not speak out until they die.

Moreover, if you go around asking if there are any witnesses, Arniel will naturally hear about it. That method is not good.

Instead, he decided to use a different method.

‘Magic is like scarring nature, and traces are bound to remain in the air.’

When a magic crime occurs, the Magic Investigation Unit identifies when, where, and what type of magic was used and arrests the criminal. In some cases where it was a little more advanced, the nature of magical power was analyzed and compared to the criminal’s magical power.

Of course, that level of technological prowess is rare enough to be counted among the top ten in the world, including the five great magic families, the Herael royal family, and the Kaladun dukedom… … .

‘Even such traces are half gone after a day and completely gone after a week, so they can no longer be searched.’

Now that only a day has passed, if we try to search, we can find out what kind of magic was unleashed, but there is one problem.

Harang doesn’t know how to use that level of deep search magic.

‘… … There is one expedient.’

Assuming that less than 12 hours have passed since the magic occurred, you can use the Morning Star Eye to find out ‘what kind of mana flow’ occurred.

Although we cannot know the identity of magic and cannot analyze the nature of magical power, that much is okay.

Harang wanted to catch any traces of the criminal.

If we could just know how the mana flowed, it would be possible to guess what type of magic was used.

Buzz!!

Harang stretched out one hand, and a pure white magic circle spun at the tip of his finger, and his silver eyes sparkled.

Cold sweat flows. Even though I was in the process of finding out how the mana flowed just 12 hours ago, the process was so complicated and difficult that I had a burning headache.

‘This… … ?’

Eventually, Harang, who analyzed the flow of mana, expressed doubt.

A strangely familiar feeling.

Even Harang was frightened by the traces of the hideous and murderous mana.

‘I don’t know what kind of magic it is… … As soon as the criminal saw Tirzen, he threw a gun without hesitation. It means he was planning on killing in the first place. He said it was a premeditated murder… … Why Tyrgen?’

Did he have a grudge against Tyrgen? Or is there something wrong with his family?

Otherwise, wouldn’t Tyrgen be related to Estelle?

‘If that’s the case… … .’

That’s when you want to continue to the next inference.

Rustle!

I heard a shout from around the corner.

“!”

When he noticed the presence and raised his head, someone’s presence, realizing that he had been discovered, moved away. Even though he could not hear any footsteps, Harang knew that he had run away.

‘… … no. ‘I can’t let you go.’

He now had silver eyes.

Until you contact Estelle, the fact that you are Kaladun should not be revealed to an unknown person other than someone you can definitely trust like Princess Herael.

Quang-!!

Harang’s body was shot like a cannonball.
