Chapter 8 - Blue magic energy

I have to go back soon. My sister will get suspicious because I've been gone too long. What I did earlier was a waste of time. There was no one I could find, except Princess Viona.

"Rie, where have you been?" I was greeted by Amara's angry face. She was glaring at me.

The line to enter the restaurant was still very long.

"I told you, didn't I?"

"You're unbelievable!" Amara said while looking away, "still want to eat here? We'll probably be standing here until tomorrow!"

On second thought, it makes sense. This wasn't dinner anymore.

"Okay. Let's go back to the dorm!" I took Amara back to the dormitory.

"Don't you know what time it is?"

Ah, I forgot about it. On this occasion, we either had to sleep on the street or sneak into the dormitory.

We ended up choosing the second option. However, our luck was bad. The Student Council caught us. The result was fine.

"It's your fault, my brother!"

"No! No! It was your idea, my sister!"

We had to sleep in the Student Council room and were only allowed to return to our respective dorms when the sun came up.

"Did you sleep well, my little sister?" I asked Amara.

"Don't call me your little sister! If it's the academy I'm the big sister!"

I looked around, "there's no one here!?"

Just as I said that the Student Council was running in a direction. There was probably a big event going on. The other students were also heading in the same direction, to the academy entrance.

"What's going on?" Amara muttered in confusion.

"Want to see it?"

We went there and saw this morning's surprise.

I could only say, "Ahh?!" and scratched my head.

Amara immediately looked at me sharply.

"You're reacting strangely! Did you know about this?"

Why is my sister always suspicious of me?

Yeah, I like wandering around!

"I don't know. I was just looking for a safe place to pee myself last night. You can still smell it, right?" I opened my academy blazer wide.

"Stop it! You stink!" Amara said, plugging her nose. "You should take a shower, Rie!"

"That's for sure. And yeah, I'm going to do it now--"

"Not so fast, brother! You have to stay here!" Amara grabbed the collar of my uniform and held my arm firmly.

I now look like her little brother.

She tried to ask one of the Student Council.

"A-no... senior, what happened? How did Princess Viona get to the academy unconscious?" asked Amara in a soft voice.

"We don't know either, she was found unconscious with a wound on her arm in the culvert near Megato restaurant. Sorry, Amara... I can't explain any more than this!" He walked away from us.

Amara's soft and sweet side vanished as soon as the student council left. She gripped my arm even tighter.

"You want your brother to have no hands?" I protested, breaking away from Amara.

"You must know something, my brother!?"

Ah, my sister's face became creepy.

"Yo, Rie ...." Vai's shouting stopped when he saw Amara's presence near me.

Nice, bro... you're my savior!

It seems like Vai's presence has changed Amara's mood.

"I'll kill him someday!" Amara said before leaving.

That's not possible. I'd be in trouble if you were a fugitive, my sister.

"I'm still very afraid of Amara. I can always feel like I'm going to be killed in my sleep!" Vai said with goosebumps on his body.

"Yep. Keep praying!"

"Huh?"

After that, I went straight back to the dormitory to prepare to attend class this morning. Anyway, I happened to be in the same class as a Princess, she was Viona's sister. Her name is Liettha Mere. And for some unforeseen reason, she sat next to me. Our seats are indeed next to each other.

The presence of the Princess made my presence conspicuous. All the boys in my class were jealous. They were always asking to swap seats.

I agreed. Well, I'm just an ordinary student here, a civilian. I would never have imagined that I would have a chance to compete for the love of a royal princess, while the competitors are nobles.

Liettha is the throne holder, so whoever will be her husband. That man will one day become the king of the kingdom of Meredhia. To avoid getting a bad candidate for King. The King will perform political marriages on all his daughters. Yep, basically, there will be no basis for love. Rather ironic!

"Rie, can we switch seats until the next class?"

I nodded and moved from my seat. Princess Liettha seemed indifferent, she was always staring out the window. She was quiet and cold, but her beauty aura was very strong.

Liettha already had the characteristics of the main character, she sat in the back corner and near the window. Yes, that's absolute.

I'm the most resistant to dealing with the main character, except for my sister. Even if I want to stay away, you can't. You understand, right?

Yeah, all the activities at the academy are over. At night, this is the time when I will have fun in the capital. That is, destroying the ecosystem of criminals in this city.

I've built up a good reputation. I'm known as the Crime Slayer. My activity is to hunt down criminals and seize their loot.

Well, I'm not a good-hearted guy like Robin Hood, who gives his loot to the poor. I just want to enrich myself and .... get revenge.

To cut a long story short, my family on earth was murdered by a gang of bank robbers. And I managed to survive the incident, the only person who managed to survive.

It was the fault of the police, they couldn't negotiate for the release of the hostages. The robbers detonated a bomb inside the bank.

I sighed. "I found you guys."

This time I had the chance to avenge the criminals and live a peaceful life in the fantasy world. On some occasions, I also wanted to do some things that couldn't be realized back on earth.

"Wait a minute, this magic energy looks familiar?!" I saw an aura of blue color surrounding the target.

I chose not to care. There were thousands or millions of people with almost the same color of magic energy. It was hard to distinguish.

I was now on top of a building. In a high place, the field of view would be wide. I could see the small things that were passed by the knights on patrol.

I had indeed helped the knights work to eliminate all the criminals.

"What are you planning to do?" I stalked a woman wearing a mask. She was walking around in a narrow alleyway preparing to commit a crime.

But, I felt something was wrong while stalking her for a long time.

"What is that woman doing?" I said in confusion.

She was just walking between the alleys without doing anything.

Well, forget that woman, I saw the whereabouts of the next target. They were a group of men robbing a small grocery store. They were well-equipped. They climbed tall buildings with ropes prepared by their compatriots from above.

We were 200 meters away.

"Pretty good strategy! But, you'll end up in the hands of the Crime Slayer!"

A small section of the Clay Weapon turned into a bow.

*Shoot!

My shot perforated the head of the man who was pulling the rope for his friend to get on. He fell to the street.

I rushed to their place with one high jump.

"Yo, this is your last day to see this beautiful world!" I replaced the bow with a sword.

They were terrified to see me. Yeah, that's good. A great reputation that I worked hard to build.

*Slash!

"I finally found you, Crime Slayer!"

I got a surprise.

A mysterious person came from below and instantly beheaded someone.

"We have the same goal, Crime Slayer! Let's work together."

"I refuse!" I replied briefly.

"Huh?"

*Shoot!

"You're just like them!" The sword I was holding turned into a bow again. Next, the arrows shot out at high speed.

"Woah, I have to be more careful. Don't go hunting carelessly!"

Ah, the criminals escaped taking advantage of my little confrontation with the woman with blue magic energy.

Yes, it was her.
