Chapter 208

C208: Guest (1)

‘Finally!’

James Moriarty became a full professor.

Casey Selmore’s eyes lit up the moment she saw the historic scene. Her heart was pounding in anticipation that James Moriarty’s life would finally begin in earnest.

‘I can finally see what he’s trying to do.’

She decided not to miss a single move this time but just as she thought so Casey realized that her body was being dragged away strongly by something.

‘What?’

A question passed through her head at that moment. Come to think of it, how long has she been staying in his memory?

“Wait a minute!”

Casey shouted urgently, but it didn’t work.

Unable to read all the memories contained in the magic, she was kicked out of the flow of memories.

‘It’s only just the beginning!’

For a moment her consciousness was in the dark and when her eyes opened, Casey Selmore leapt from her bed. Looking around, she saw that it was a deep dawn and the sun had not yet risen.

‘The artifact?’

The paper in hand lost its blue light and was discolored.

‘The end? This is the end?’

She thought she could barely trace him.

“Ah! So annoying!”

When she couldn’t contain her anger and screamed, Betty’s cry came from the living room.

“Casey! What time is it? Be quiet!”

“Delica Kingdom.”

Back in his private quarters, Rudger recalled memories from three years ago.

He earned the title of godfather of crime as James Moriarty, but in fact, everything he did was more like spreading what had originally happened.

‘There were a lot of hidden secret facilities in the Delica Kingdom.’

Preparations for war at the national level and all the inhumane experiments done for it.

Steel Chapel was just a part of it and there were a few more unknown secret operations.

One of them was the development of gunpowder that was not affected by magic.

He thought the factory that used to make the gunpowder burned down but as he expected there was a separate person who made it.

‘Victor Dreadful developed the gunpowder.’

He looked up at the night sky outside the window as the bluish moonlight was giving off a strange warm light. Thanks to this, he could organize his thoughts calmly.

‘Liquid Golem is a high-performance automaton. Considering the person who made it, it is not impossible to make gunpowder that is not affected by magic.’

And in order to use it to make sure it worked, they contacted the Liberation Army and handed it over to them.

People will only be interested in the Liberation Army who carried out the bombing, and they will not know what is behind it.

‘I have eliminated the secret branches in Leathervelk and Baltanung, but they won’t disappear completely unless I remove the fundamental buds.’

It was regrettable that Victor Dreadful could not be killed but he couldn’t help it if he thought about it rationally.

He didn’t expect another First Order.

‘But thanks to that I found out information about another First Order. Black Knight Verom is a First Order and he uses an antique tone and a red-blooded sword.’

As a result, there are three First Orders that are unknown.

What ability and strength do the other three have?

And what is the power of Zero Order that brought them all together.......?

Rudger glanced at the ring handed over by Zero Order. Now that he thought about it, it was strange that he gave him this ring.

‘He gave it to me on purpose. To invite me.’

Zero Order was akin to the president. In a good way, it’s bold, and in a bad way, it’s a crazy person.

‘Well, he wouldn’t be able to do this if he was in his right mind.’

How will the next meeting with him go?

Thinking so, Rudger closed his eyes in a chair and fell asleep quietly.

* * *

The next morning Rudger, who came to work early even though there was no class, found Sedina cleaning his office.

“Sir.”

Rudger checked his watch. It wasn’t time for breakfast yet.

“Sedina, you came to work early.”

There were Zero Order and Elisa Willow. Of course, these two have the power to match it.

He didn’t know Sedina had this side to her.

“Are you not going to eat it?”

As Sedina’s voice became anxious and her eyes began to sharpen, Rudger replied hastily.

“No, I’ll eat it.”

Sedina sat in a chair and watched him eat.

‘That’s weird. She’s an assistant and I’m a teacher.’

What was this feeling that the relationship has turned around?

Rudger, who was eating like that, suddenly remembered the past.

“.........What’s wrong? Is there anything you don’t like about the meal?”

“No, it tastes good. It’s better than I thought.”

Sedina blushed and smiled brightly at his compliment.

“But why...?”

“It just reminded me of the old days.”

“Ah, if it’s your old days.......”

“Not what you think but a long time ago when I was walking around with my teacher.”

When she heard about his teacher, Sedina’s eyes shined.

“Are you talking about your teacher? Who was it?”

“My teacher is someone so great that I had no choice but to call him a monster. I don’t dare to say that I touched the toes of my master when it comes to magic skills.”

“What?”

Sedina cried in surprise.

Rudger’s magic skills are at a level where no one in Theon is arguing and Sedina could tell he was not humble to lift up his teacher.

Even considering all that, Rudger sincerely thought that his skills were not even close to his teacher.

“In a way, I was very lucky that someone like him taught me. Anyway, it was similar to how it was when I was with him.”

“What do you mean you’re similar?”

“He always forced me to eat meals. However, if I were to point out the difference from you, would it be that he told him to eat a lot of meat.”

“Meat...”

Sedina whispered.

“Well, I don’t hate meat either, so I eat it often, but......My teacher likes to eat meat strangely undercooked. When I ate it, I struggled with the fishy taste.”

Rudger’s words were light but it was completely unacceptable for Sedina.

“In the world, you can take all the nutrients evenly with just vegetables, but meat that is extremely tilted on one side! This is unacceptable!”

“It’s a thing of the past.”

“Of course, I don’t mean to blame it either. However...I have a feeling that it will not fit in with your teacher.”

Rudger nodded his head because he was strangely convinced by her words.

‘No. Considering teacher personality, I’m not sure about that either.’

He was so unpredictable that it was meaningless for me to dare to speculate on his behavior. In other words, they might get along with each other.

‘More than that, I’m sure teacher just woke up.’

On the last day of the magic festival Rudger used his teacher’s blood, one of the means he wouldn’t use unless it was really necessary.

There was a reason why Rudger didn’t use it before.

‘The moment I used it, teacher realized that I used his blood and would come to find me.’

It was inevitable no matter how much Rudger shakes when he thinks about what will happen after that.

‘Considering his unruly personality, he will not come here right away, but will look around first. Still, I’m sure he will arrive in front of me someday.’

That would be a real problem since he was the one who extracted his teacher’s blood when he was asleep and ran away.

Just thinking about what would happen if they met made his back wet.

‘Maybe he’ll come right away.....’

As he was thinking someone knocked on the door.

“Who is it?”

It was a Theon’s employee.

“What’s going on?”

“There is someone who wants to see Mr. Rudger.”

“What...?”

Rudger’s heart sank.
