With the surveillance of the entire realm in my hand, I easily pinpointed where Dorian was and what direction he was going to take.
Now what remained was to make sure that whatever happened, everyone would think that Dorian was the culprit, not me. To do that, I need a good plan of ambush. No, it should be him ambushing me.
Only this way, if one sees us fighting, then I won't take any blame for his 'accidental' death.
So what should I do in order to make it look like I am the victim and he is the aggressor?
Ah, the answer was already in front of me. There was no need to look for it anywhere else. If possible, with this I can even cause damage to William.
Wait, should I drag him into this?
In fact, if there were no witnesses, it would be for the best but fighting would definitely attract others. It would be troublesome. With the system in hand, he might use something to escape death. He would become quite troublesome in the future.
So even though the battle should show that I am the defending party, not the aggressive party, I need to end the battle quickly.
I might have won in the duel that was held by the academy but I am not sure that victory would be mine where there are no restraints and observers.
Similar to me, Dorian might not have used his entire arsenal in the academy. He has a system and I am sure that it should have provided him ways to improve faster. The only reason why he didn't show all his cards was because he was afraid that the system would be found out.
The academy is filled with powerhouses. Without the enchantment around my living quarters, I wouldn't have dared to use clones or bring Inari out.
They could probably detect the system if it was used in their presence. So he should be keeping its use minimal in the academy.
Now in the secret realm, there should be no such restrictions for him.
Once he starts the fight, I will have all the evidence that I need. No one can touch me officially even if I kill him, as the fight would be his fault.
Ah, there is one thing that I need. I need to make sure that he utters the words that he was willing to kill me. As long as he utters those words, my defense would be perfect, without any holes.
If possible, I should make him spill about the conspiracy that he was brewing with William Rutgurd. If I can do that, I can openly take action against him and not suffer severe consequences. Even the academy would side with me.
William would still be at the academy for the next two years but he would be out on missions. I would have the chance to leave for missions in my third year. That would be the perfect time to end him.
If could deal with him without going through the hassle of defending my actions against him, it would be best.
Ah, let's think about that later. If Dorian doesn't reveal the matter, then that doesn't matter. I'll deal with William sooner or later.
Now the remaining question is where the 'ambush' has to happen.
Let's see where he was going at this point.
Oh, he was heading west from...ah, what's this is called?
I checked the guide. There it is, Northern Wasteland...wasteland?
There are so many treasures and monsters there and still, it was named wasteland. When compared to Core and Inner regions that place can be described as a wasteland.
Hmm, he is moving towards, Corlan Heights.
There are a lot of mountains and valleys in that area. It would be the best place to 'ambush'.
