I Became the Academy's Kibitz Villain

Chapter 163: And Nobody Knows (1)

Chapter 163: And Nobody Knows (1)

Duoexini was dead.

Silently, in an unseen corner, he vanished within the confines of an ordinary gymnasium.

[Thats fortunate. Dealt with swiftly and outside.]

[Did you emerge only after everything was resolved?]

[Yes.]

[If even one had survived]

[Then Duoexini would have fled again with that body.]

My words made the expressions of the three outside harden.

It seemed that if Duoexini had escaped even after this trap, I would have grounds to be angry with these three.

That shouldnt have happened.

It was a technique executed with lethal intent.

I deactivated the Room of Truth because I noticed that the situation outside had somewhat settled. Otherwise, I would have handled Duoexini inside before coming out.

But the reason I didnt finish the job and came out was to let Yumir deliver the final blow and to instill despair in Duoexini.

Was it a close call?

I didnt know.

Whether Yumir might have missed Duoexini, I couldnt say, but Yumir eliminated Duoexini before I could even speak.

I had faith in Yumir.

Even if Yumir had hesitated for a moment, I would have immediately issued the command to cut down Duoexini right then and there.

So Is this truly the end?

[Yes. Yoon Iseon, you did well too. I apologize once more for involving you.]

Oh, no! Youve done nothing wrong, Goblin! It was me who said I would send the message!

I had composed the text, and although Brewer had sent it, we had used Yoon Iseons account.

It was sure to enrage the Academy students.

The trap was effective, and had it been sent by someone else, they might have approached with suspicion.

[Its time to return to our respective places.]

Dawn was approaching.

Since Yoon Iseon and Yumir had sneaked out, they needed to get back to their accommodations in Ulleungdo.

And I, too, had to return to Ulleungdo with Doul.

[Platinum Sun. Look after Yoon Iseon. Be cautious when returning.]

[Ill be in touch soon. Ah, but here is]

Well handle this.

The gym was in disarray.

Inside, it looked as though it had been soaked in blood.

The walls bore numerous knife marks, and although only one window had been broken when Duoexini first entered, the rest clung to their frames, threatening to shatter like glass in a tempest.

[Yoon Iseon. If someone tracks the GPS and asks why you were here, say you were hacked. Well leave hacking traces behind.]

Is that necessary?

[Your Taeguk Watch might have records of sending messages from here. Be careful.]

Theres always a possibility, and being cautious is the right thing to do.

[Thank you. Well discuss a return favor soon.]

Ah, yes!

[Then were leaving now. You really worked hard.]

[Youre the one who worked hard.]

Yumir nodded slightly, then took Yoon Iseons hand and opened a space.

Whoosh!

In a flash of gold, they vanished.

Sigh.

Alone in the gym, I removed my mask, and Doul approached me.

Are you okay?

It feels as though Ive used up all my mental strength.

Even if your magic power has recovered, mental fatigue is a different issue.

Its been a long time since Ive felt this exhausted.

Yeah. Lets go rest. Ill take you there right away.

We had arrived here through Yumirs spatial movement, but there was no need to let Yoon Iseon know that our destination was Ulleungdo just yet.

So shall we clean up here?

As Doul clasped her hands together as if praying, a green wind burst forth around her, sweeping through the gymnasium.

Lets start with a check.

Roar!

The blood that remained in the gym coalesced into one place, driven by the wind.

Can you keep up with this?

Youve improved this much in the meantime?

High-speed movement.

Perhaps her pride was hurt when she couldnt chase Duoexini while merged with me, Doul had awakened to her high-speed movement ability.

How did you develop this?

I just decided to think of it simply. Twice the speed I usually move at, then twice that, and again twice that. I thought if I kept doubling the speed, eventually, I would reach it.

Indeed, an infinite loop of doubling the speed.

Duoexinis high-speed movement was different.

It gradually accelerated, ultimately reaching speeds 64 or 128 times faster, but by shortening the time to reach that speed, I could definitely use high-speed movement without the lag time to reach top speed.

This, I accidentally learned a new technique.

It would have been helpful when dealing with Duoexini.

Well, it turned out well in the end.

Though I lost track once in the middle, the result wasnt too bad.

Duoexini was dead.

Yumir had gained a reliable colleague in Yoon Iseon.

Yoon Iseon found a connection with the Goblin.

Then I merged with Doul, and Doul learned high-speed movement.

But you know, the world doesnt know Duoexini is dead.

.

What will you do? Announce it? That the Goblin killed him?

Well.

I hadnt thought beyond informing Pandemonium of my victory over Duoexini.

I was just focused on killing Duoexini.

Right, we moved a bit too fast. Yumir has drive but often acts without considering the consequences.

I agree. Well, thats what agents and secret societies are for, handling such issues.

Before I realized it, Doul had reached the pension in Ulleungdo.

Brewer.

Back? Looks like you were successful.

Ah, yes.

I dismounted from Doul and reclined on the sofa.

Hand over the Taeguk Watch. I need to report to the chairman.

Youre reporting right away?

Yes. I also have something to ask.

Beep.

The call connected immediately.

Sorry for calling so late at night, chairman.

[No, I was still awake.]

Weve dealt with Duoexini. Completely annihilated.

[Youve worked hard. Rest well.]

I had someone I could trust.

[Ill take care of the political issues, so just rest well, manager. Okay?]

Love you, chairman.

[I love you too. I would talk more, but Im nearly dead. Sleep well, my love.]

Click.

The call ended.

I clutched the Taeguk Watch to my chest and closed my eyes.

Brewer.

Yeah.

When I wake up in the morning, make me a hot bowl of beef soup.

Alright. Rest well. You can think after you wake up.

.

I closed my eyes again.

Yap.

.

Doul lay down next to me, draping her body over mine, but I simply kept my eyes closed.

Both Doul and I needed rest.

We must capture and subdue Duoexini immediately!

Despite the government and the worlds chaos in searching for Duoexini, resting was my first priority.
