Roland knew very well that Claus's death would cause a certain reaction in Delpon City.
But he was wrong. It wasn't a certain reaction, but a huge reaction. To some extent, it was even more unbelievable than Hawk and Link's feat.
The reason was simple. Even though Claus was only a magic apprentice, he was still young with a high chance of becoming an official Mage in the future.
Secondly, Claus was also a member of the Magic Tower. No matter what, he was Roland's subordinate and, especially now that Aldo obviously didn't want to manage matters himself, he was a de facto administrator of the Tower.
Moreover, Claus, who was also good at interacting with outside factions, was considered a capable person. He should have been well-liked by Roland.
But to everyone's surprise, Roland had actually killed Claus himself.
Just because Claus had killed over a dozen lowly girls?
Almost everyone who had some power felt that Roland was crazy.
