Chapter 267: An Unexpected Attack

An Unexpected Attack

The sun started to descend, signaling the onset of evening.

Phew

In the Western Continent, Kania stared at the screen with tired eyes.

Ms. Irina, what are you doing?

M-me?

With sunken dark circles, she looked at Irina on the screen and spoke. Irina seemed bewildered and surprised at the same time.

Oh, just some magical research?

It seems a bit too intense to be just magical research.

The countless corpses of demonic monsters piled up behind her contradicted Irinas claim.

No, no, Im supposed to do at least this much

Keoooohh!

Demonic bastards.

She laughed awkwardly and scratched her head; suddenly, her expression changed. She unfolded a magic circle as a massive minotaur in the background stumbled and wailed.

Clang! Crash!

Kuuuooooogh!

Kyaackkkk!

A massive explosion and monstrous screams could be heard off-screen.

Because of you all! The investigation team got attacked! Because of you! I had to come here so quickly for weeks!!!

The explosion had given rise to a dust cloud. Irina had to restrain her temper with Frey, but now, she could finally reveal her true nature.

Damn it those fucking pests

Krrshaaa

Her eyes glowed as she kicked the minotaur mercilessly. Her eyes rolled back; she now looked like her past selfsomeone with no regard for the nobles.

Die already!

Kwakwangkwangkwang!!!

In the vast plain where only demonic monsters existed, she kicked the minotaur for quite a while. Irina then unleashed her specialty, area-of-effect magic, with various attributes. Finally, she put her magic to rest and calmly looked ahead.

Goooo

Half of it was a sea of fire, while the other portion was plagued with her other attributes. Her power spun like a tornado in the hellish landscape. She looked at it with relief, then spoke quietly.

As expected, area-of-effect magic is the best, right, Kania?

Uh, um

Is it the best, you ambitious, little, thieving cat?

What did you just say?

Kania was dumbfounded. Irina, who had somehow reverted to her sleazy look from the first cycle, continued without backing down.

Serena beat you to it, didnt she?

.

Kania felt speechless. Suddenly, someone appeared on the turned-off screen beside Irina.

But I just started

Princess Clana?

I hadnt even started yet, actually. It ended in an instant

On the screen was Clana, seated hunched in the corner of her room within the Imperial Palace, engrossed in paperwork.

I tried to use money to make up for my lack of individuality, but Frey is already richer than me. And all the benefits of the vitality tonic I bought for him all went to Serena

Hey

Im the only one busy, so I cant get close to him its really unfair.

Clana seemed melancholic as she quietly made notes on the documents with a cold gaze.

Isabel Luca Vernandez

[Change her sentence to life imprisonment]

(Assigning an appropriate charge)

Ramie Solar Sunrise

[If possible, the death penalty]

(Avenging everything she had done to Mom)

Rifael Solar Sunrise

[Life imprisonment] (Used her as a political weapon)

Secret Lord

[On progress looking for a way to kill him]

Vener Renee Hylin

[Her fatal weakness has been identified]

If Vener couldnt be controlled, Frey suggested that they demote her to the position of 1st-year professor.

Might as well lend a helping hand while covering the eyes

That was a widely known magical list in the Empire from the previous cycle, rumored to make people disappear from the Empire as soon as their names appeared on it.

Of course, it wasnt actual magic but the result of power and military force.

I want to play with Frey too not with paperwork, but with Frey

After Serena and Frey had gone on their honeymoon, Irina had become a delinquent, and Clana seemed melancholic all the time. Kania couldnt help but sigh.

Please focus, everyone. We need a brief on the scenario for the opening of the next school year.

The 2nd-year school opening?

I-Ill return to you within a week, Young Master.

Alright.

After twisting around for a while, Kania quietly responded. Frey silently nodded and continued.

But, by any chance, is there a curse that makes people turn evil?

There are many curses like that. Do you have any specific information?

Frey stiffened his face.

For instance, a-a curse that is so powerful that even my mental strength is useless against it?

..

Kania, who had frozen, quietly spoke.

I will leave immediately.

No, theres no need to do that. Im fine. I mean, not that Im not fine I-its actually not about me

..

Watching her Young Master blabbering, Kania said with a sad expression.

At least not to me. It would be better if you told me the truth instead of hiding it Young Master.

..

Gazing at Kania, Frey sighed and started his explanation.

It seems Ive been cursed with something like Villainization. I keep wanting to harm people just by looking at them.

You, Young Master? But such feelings are not

Huh?

N-no, its nothing.

Blushing, Kania replied, then quietly turned her gaze and buried her face in the pillow.

If this continues Im afraid of hurting people I care about I want to find a solution as soon as possible.

I will look for a solution. It might be ancient magic. Ill need to see you to know more.

Okay, but dont push yourself too hard. Its okay to take your time coming here.

Frey said that with a grin; Kania hugged the pillow tightly again.

Oh, and I forgot to mention

Yes?

Staring at Freys face for a while, Kania attempted to lower the screen, but

I have to participate in the upcoming orientation.

What did you say!?

Hearing Frey, Kania widened her eyes and asked again.

Youre going to participate in the orientation?

Yeah.

No, why would you go there, Young Master?

She mumbled and hastily changed the plans she had scribbled in her pocket notebook.

Huh!?

Paga-gak!

Young Master?

Freys screen suddenly started shaking wildly; he also seemed bewildered.

Agh!

She felt a sharp pain in her side and bent over.

Aghh

While clutching her side and breathing heavily, she slowly lifted her head.

Iiiiiikkk!

She could see Alice struggling wildly as she was pinned against the wall by Frey.

Hmm

L-let go of me! You monster!

She stared blankly at the girl, screaming as if she were facing the devil. Kanias expression turned cold, and she muttered.

I need to return to Young Master as soon as possible.

The sun was setting beyond the horizon.

Meanwhile

What is this?

Aishi Winter Cloud, with a bewildered expression, stared at a newspaper.

[Breaking News] Frey Raon Starlight Confirmed Dead

It was a newspaper reporting Freys death.

Th-this this is a lie, right?

Her eyes trembled.

Didnt you come here to find a way to lift the curse?
