Information from Liliana's death quickly spread throughout the school.
Now in one of the rooms, there were about four Reinhard Academy students gathered at a round table.
They are The Watchers, a committee of security guards at this school and of course the four people are not ordinary people.
They are the strongest people in school.
"Today an unwearing news happened, one of the disciples named Liliana Silveria was allegedly killed!"
The figure of a long black-haired girl wearing glasses said so, she looked a diligent and powerful person. Her name is Elisa Isabella.
"Silveria, huh? Didn't I think anyone would dare to kill a noble family like him?"
The yellow-haired man with green eyes responded, he was named Rei Vezalius.
"Whoever it is he must be a pretty crazy person."
Waving her white hair, a female figure with an adult aura stared intently. He has bluish eyes. Mary Nightray.
"I agree, but who's the crazy guy who did it. What else in the morning like this?"
Squinting, a brown-haired girl asked. Charming eyelids make an impression of beauty, she has a desirable beauty for men. Her name is Olivia Charlotte.
The four men are now holding a meeting of course to find out who is the real culprit of this stupid act.
"I have an opinion. It's about a recent transfer student." Looking at Rei, Elissa said.
Rei who closed his eyes now opened his eyes and smiled with interest.
"Who do you mean?"
"Midnight Arthur!"
Of course something like this would happen considering that Midnight is an enemy of this kingdom, but still this is an act of accusation. Because Arthur didn't do anything.
"The Midnight ones, huh? I honestly don't want to suspect him, but your words may have a point" Rei said.
"Well, for now, let's see what happens...We, the Watchers, will make all those who harm the academy disappear."
Act like a leader. Not basically Rei was the leader of the Watchers, with the statement he had everyone nodding their heads in agreement.
...***...
On the other hand Arthur was still staring at the sight of Liliana's corpse, he was watching quite closely. While looking for a clue from his corpse.
"What do you think, Arthur?"
Fiona who was standing next to him asked, but it was a pity that Arthur had no answer.
"So so? Whatever it is, you need to be more careful. Remembering—"
"If I'm okay. If the killer's after me that's exactly what I want."
Maybe for Arthur this killer is not a big deal he is very sure to take care of himself, but the real problem is...
"I was worried about Fiona." muttered Arthur himself while holding his chin.
Brakes
The bathroom door opened violently, all the disciples who were staring at the corpse with goosebumps including Arthur turned to the source of the sound.
Looking at Max's exhausted-looking figure and his breath stammering, anyone could guess that the man had just run.
He is shocked to discover Liliana's body in the bathroom, and points a finger at Arthur. As if he was the culprit here.
"Midnight Arthur! What the hell are you doing? Don't tell me this is what you did?"
Thanks to these accusations, Arthur managed to become the center of attention. Previously, the disciples were unaware or rather did not pay attention to Arthur's arrival.
But because of the screams from Max, all now realize that there is a figure who is most likely the perpetrator in front of them.
"What's Midnight doing here?"
"Oi, don't tell me he's the culprit."
Whispers and watchful gazes were directed at Arthur, but he did not take much for granted the actions he received.
"I am your fault!" shouting Max.
Okay maybe Arthur could've ignored everyone here, but he also had his limits. In addition, he must quickly do something or bad things will happen.
"I'm not the doer!" arthur said firmly.
"Don't lie! I'm one hundred percent sure it's your fault."
"Why do you think that? Max Laurent? Is that how you hate my family? Just so you know. I hate that family too!
And also didn't you corner me too much? Usually things like this are done by the perpetrator, it's your actions are very suspicious."
For these words Max certainly did not accept, he clucked and looked like he wanted to say something but someone's step disconnected his speech.
“Wah, wow, that was unexpected. Murder in the morning? Who would have thought this would happen.”
The yellow haired man who looked smiling with his graceful face coming, he had beautiful green eyes. He is Rei Vezalius.
Being aware of the important figure that came made most of the students feel pain and they bowed their heads in respect.
He was basically the leader of the watchers and was the best-positioned student, so naturally, he received the respect of many people.
“What do you want?”
Everyone even Max and Fiona bow their heads, except for one person. Yes he is Arthur, as if he did not know the fear he asked that casually.
No. gabe. More precisely he actually knows the potential of the person in front of him. From his gaze alone he could guess that this person was a danger. But even so Arthur still ventured. This was because he sensed that he would be the subject of accusations as well.
“No, seeing the death of the student is a task as the watchers, the person who keeps the academy safe and I just want to find information.”
With an intimidating smile she smiled. “Who knows that the culprit is around here, right?”
“Do you suspect me?” arthur asked with a sharp look as if he was not afraid of the person in front of him.
“... right, I actually don't want to suspect you. But the person with the most potential is only you, after all you are a family of enemies for us.”
In a cold voice he said so. Just hearing the words alone had already managed to make most of the disciples shudder in horror. It is different with Arthur.
He's sick of all this..
“That's enough! I'm not the culprit.”
“Are you proof that you are not the culprit?” rei asked with a cold smile.
“A-anu. I've been with Arthur so I know for a fact that he's not the culprit.”
Fiona finally opened her mouth. Although he felt the air like thousands of needles piercing his body, he tried not to make Arthur's reputation worse.
But…
“Previously sorry, but we do not believe in a princess who forgot her hammer and got in touch with the enemy.”
These words managed to make Fiona tremble in fear. He was sweating and bowing his head.
Looking at the girl, it made Arthur feel bad.
“You've gone too far, how can you-“
“Duel.”
“Hah?”
“Let's do a duel. If you win then I assume that this is all just a misunderstanding.”
For now, of course, Arthur is not a match, he knows this very well. Rei also learns that Arthur is just a weakling who can be defeated so easily.
But he did something like a duel with no other intention of killing Arthur. Because in a duel death is permissible.
