Third Person POV
Meanwhile Josep flirted with Eve in the healing tent, Hilbert got into the final battle in the battle competition.
His opponent is older than him, but the opponent looks very tense and nervous. If it is not because their family pushes him to enter the arena, he will run immediately.
Fortunately, Hilbert knocked him out immediately after the start of the battle to end his opponent's misery.
After that final battle which was also the climax of the festival, the festival closed with the awarding ceremony that everyone expected.
All the students get together in the main area listening to the long speech of the headmaster. Then, the old man begins to award all the winner of the competitions with the battle competition as the last
During the time Hilbert got the award he also got a nickname 'water fist'. He gets an amulet artifact with grade 3. After that, everyone begins to disperse and go back to their dorm without notice that a huge battle happens inside the academy.
The guardians manage to cover all the traces of the battle perfectly that no one will notice of such battle.
After the end of the festival, all the member guardians including Ragna's helper meet in a certain room inside the main building area. The atmosphere inside the room is very tense after looking at the report.
"Now, let's recap all the situations that happen during 'the cleansing'." As Mr. Lou begins the meeting.
"There are more spies than we thought. Fortunately, we successfully subdue them by entrapping them with the help of Cecil's rune." Ragna reports to his job.
"I see.. This is good since beside the destroyer's group. No one gets away. Judom I hope you can process the spies that are being captured accordingly." The old saint adds in some comment.
"No worries, Saint Anthony. This is also part of my job." The guild master replied.
"Now, if there is nothing else, this meeting… "
"Wait, there is still something that is bugging me." The Elf prince stopped the old saint
Then continued, "It is about the corpses in front of the library. According to the report, all of them died mysteriously without any sign of battle. However, there is also a certain person's body among the corpses." As he presents the picture of the corpse.
Suddenly, all the people inside the room were shocked after looking at the picture. "Is it...?" as one of them asked.
"Yes, he is Galdino, 'the undead', one of the high ranking members of necros. Moreover, his strength was on par with the destroyer."
"Nya… this is rather troublesome. There is a chance that the perpetrator is still within the academy, Nyaa. Since he/she can't get out of Cecilia's rune perception, Nyaa" The black summarize their situation.
"Moreover, the destroyer is still on the loose with a chaos gem. Haa..." Everyone sighs at their dangerous situation they got in.
"Alright everyone there is still hope, the chaos of gem will leave a chaotic mageforce in the surrounding. we can still track them using it. I hope the guild alliance can help us in this way.
"About the perpetrator of the Library case, we will maintain the barrier around to trap them. During this time, the guardian will try to uncover all the pests that are still inside the academy. At least that's what we can do now." The elf prince gives a series of suggestions that are agreed by all the members of the meeting.
After that, everyone dismissed except the guardian member. "There is a chance that the perpetrator in the library case already is a member of Behemoth that also got away with the hole in the rune. However, I still believe they are still hiding inside the academy."
"To make sure of this, Cecil will create 'that rune' to interrogate everyone in the academy. I know this is a little bit of a harmful method, but we cannot let a dangerous person inside the academy. So, we must act accordingly." The elf prince looks at the other member sternly.
"Is it necessary to use that rune?" The old headmaster expresses his disagreement
"I am afraid there is no other way. Cecil, how long for you to set up the rune?" the elf firmly answers the old saint
"It's about one week, but I can create a safer rune without any side effects, still it will take more time. I estimate about two weeks at minimum." Replied Cecil.
"Alright, create the safe one while maintaining the barrier. However, during this time make sure no one comes in or out. This is the least I can do, Anthony." The elf prince gives the final decision.
"Thanks for your consideration, Prince Lou." The old headmaster gave a bow to the elf prince.
After that they are dismissed to their respective job, however nobody knows that someone also heard this piece of secret from a far.
Josep POV
"Hmm… this means I only have two weeks. I hope I have more time." I mumble alone
"Huh.. what do you say, Sep? Moreover, did you hear what I said before?" Eve looked at me coldly.
"Ahh… yeah of course something about that and this." As we walk together to our dorm.
"Grr… Josep, I don't know what you are thinking, but you need to… bla bla bla" She continued her grumbling that began since we left the festival together.
"Hahaha… It seems my dear brother can still lose. *Munch* *Munch*" William began teasing me again while eating his snack.
I thought he was already full from our last competition but it seems he really is a glutton. Maybe he can become good friends with Gluttony since both of them are the same.
Ever since both of my brothers knew my relationship with Eve, rather than discourage me and stop me since she is a royalty, they keep teasing me and encouraging me more which is more annoying than their behavior before.
Speaking of the devil of my brother, it seems my most annoying brother, Fernan, began to approach me from far. I really don't want to deal with this person since my peaceful walking time will always get disturbed whenever he is around.
Last time he was around, He brought a group of people and surrounded us while making me sort of a protected animal in the center. Just remembering the embarrassing scene made me want to get away from him.
My brother Fernan approached us from far faster, I grabbed William's snack and threw it in the Fernan direction. William immediately chased his snack like some kind of dog to that direction.
One thing that I learned in the past year is Fernan and William always make ruckus whenever they are together.
Then, I carried Eve in the princess carry position and ran toward our dorm. Eve startled from sudden action but didn't struggle. She begins to rest her head on my chest while blushing which makes her cuter.
Shortly, we arrive at our room in the dorm. I place Eve on our bed and give her a deep kiss. I told her to rest first while patting her head. She reluctantly at first but her tired body from continuing healing people begins to come up and sleep not long after that.
She really exhausted a lot since her spell consumed more mageforce than other people but gave more effect. It seems this is also her characteristic as princes of light.
Fortunately, I stopped her from casting more healing spells with my interference since she will collapse if I don't do it.
Anyway, now I begin my work to reapply a protective rune in my room. Last time I needed to erase them because the guardian and people from the guild alliance were also searching the dorm one by one.
By the time I finish all the protective and isolation rune, it is already midnight. Even though my body doesn't feel tired, I am still mentality tired from all that is happening today.
Still, I can't stop now since I only have two weeks to bypass their interrogation rune which I don't even know. But before that I need to secure something first.
I enter my space dimension then go to a certain spot and summon Moru from my shadow. "Moru, bring out two of them." As I order Moru
Suddenly, Moru's shadow becomes larger and two people appear from it. One of them is Luna and the other is the destroyer. Both of them look weak from being in the shadow dimension for a long time. However, the destroyer condition is very serious.
His body mageforce is very chaotic with so many elements inside his body. it seems it is the side effect to use the chaos gem without proper measure since my poison can only make people sleep.
If I left him alone, he would die in a few hours. But, I still need him for my plan so I cast some time isolation spell to stop his body condition and seal his mageforce to work up.
Then, I told both of them to stay here while giving them some provisions that last for a long time. I need both of them off radar from the guardian for a while.
Then, I go out from space dimension to my time dimension. I need to enhance and unlock the forbidden knowledge Greed left behind as fast as possible. I begin to work at the enchantment that I copy from the ancient artifacts.
There are several enchantments that place in the artifact but I only found one that is useful for my current situation now. The enchantment is an ancient regeneration enchantment.
In contrast with the regeneration enchantment in this day which only uses the existing mageforce in the rune to regeneration or being supplied. The ancient one uses the mageforce in the surrounding to regeneration.
This enchantment has many uses, one of them is to maintain the top condition of weapons or equipment by themselves. In contrast to our current enchantment, they need to keep being supplied by mageforce for the enchantment to work.
Moreover, I found that the enchantment actually creates a duplication or multiplying the enchanted thing's element and stops at a certain point.
Even though it seems simple but if it combines with modern knowledge from Earth this enchantment will create a very dangerous spell or weapon.
While waiting for the enchantment to be analyzed with my tools, I read all the copy books from the library. Since there is only a small number of books, I finish all of them quickly.
From the books, I learn many dangerous spell formulas, enchantment, rune, skill, and many other dangerous things especially eight star spells.
There is even knowledge about the usage of chaos gem with its property. It seems this artifact is very dangerous without proper measure before using it. It is already a miracle don't blow himself up the moment he use it.
*Cling.. Clang*
Shortly, my tool finishes to decode the enchantment for me to learn it. It took an hour to understand and learn it completely. After a couple of hours testing the enchantment, I finally master the regeneration enchantment.
It seems my mental fatigue has reached its limit. Feeling the heaviness of my eyelid, I quickly go out the space dimension and go to sleep while hugging my lovely pillow, Eve.
