Fourth Prince's Debauchery - Chapter 189

Chapter 189
\"Tell me, how did this happen?\" Headmistress Evelyn's voice was ice-cold .

\"We don't know, headmistress . When we learned of the situation, the student was already dead . Our guess is that the killer took advantage of the fact that most students and teachers were spectating the duel to kill him . \" A teacher replied .

Currently, we were in the classroom where the new murder happened .

After we learned of the news, headmistress Evelyn and I followed the teacher here . The other girls stayed behind to take care of the injured .

When we arrived at the crime scene, we understood the situation .

A student laid dead in the ground, with a sword in his chest . The student had an expression of incredulity, as though he could not believe why he was killed .

According to the information the teacher gave us, the student was a second-year noble student named Abel . The student had never been involved in any fight during his time in the institute, and he did not have enemies .

Just like the last student, the killer did not leave behind any traces . Headmistress Evelyn even tried to summon his soul to learn what happened, but she failed . My use of [Akashic Sight] was useless too .

It was as though everything was hidden by a veil of fog .

\"Damn it, if I find the bastard that did this, I'll kill him . \" Evelyn's voice was pretty calm, but I could feel the incredible rage inside her .

Evelyn was an idealist . She was someone that considered her students as her children and considered the institute as her home . For her, killing a student was as though killing her family .

Currently, she was like a barrel of TNT ready to explode at any time .

I frowned . I'm getting a bad feeling about this .

\"Headmistress, this doesn't look like something a student did . \" I said . \"I think that if the culprit is not a teacher, then it's someone attacking the academy . \"

Headmistress Evelyn fell silent . She was someone smart, so she could think about the things I thought .

I doubt any student in this institute has the ability to hide something from my sight . In fact, nobody in this world is supposed to be able to do something like that .

No matter how I see it, things are becoming weirder and weirder .

Evelyn sighed . \"We can't continue like this . With a killer in the institute, all the students are in danger . \" She then looked at the teachers and people in the room . \"We will suspend classes from tomorrow . Until we find the culprit, the students will return to their homes . \"

\"B-But, headmistress!\"

\"Suspend classes? We have not suspended classes ever!\"

\"How are we going to find the culprit? We don't have any clue . \"

\"Headmistress, please reconsider!\"

\"If we suspend classes, the academy's reputation will suffer a huge blow!\"

\"Quiet!\" Evelyn bellowed . \"My decision is final!\"

The entire classroom fell silent .




Evelyn's decision was firm . She could not put the lives of the students at risk due to her pride or the pride of the academy .

I inwardly praised her decision . Not many people are able to think about the safety of others in situations where their interests are at risk .

At that moment, a new teacher ran into the classroom .

\"Headmistress, something happened!\"

\"What happened?\" Evelyn asked icily . To be honest, she was not in the best of the moods right now .

This time, though, the teacher was not bringing bad news .

Quite the opposite, he was pulling a female student with him .

\"H-Headmistress, this s-student told me that she saw what happened!\"

Evelyn was startled . The next instant, she grabbed the girl's shoulders with a grave expression .

\"Tell me everything you know!\"

…



\"In other words, you witnessed everything?\"

\"Y-Yes . \" The student bit her lips nervously . \"I-I had left something in the classroom, and when I came back for it, I saw him stabbing A-Abel in the chest . \"

\"Did he discover you?\"

\"I-I don't know . I-I hid when I saw what was happening, and then, I ran away . H-Headmistress, I-I'm scared . W-What if he comes to kill me?\"

\"Don't worry, nothing will happen to you . \" Evelyn smiled at the student to calm her down . When the girl finally stopped trembling, Evelyn stood up and left the classroom .

Outside, I and some of the teachers were waiting for her .

\"I think I know who is the culprit . \" Evelyn said . \"Claus, come with me . As for the others, stay here in case something happens . \"

Everybody nodded . Although some of the teachers were curious about the reason Evelyn asked me to go with her, none of them questioned her words .

Thus, we departed towards the men's bedrooms .

\"It was a student?\" I was surprised . \"Evelyn, are you sure?\"

\"According to the girl, yes . And I could feel she was not lying . \"

I frowned . So was I mistaken?



Impossible . A normal student can't do something like this .

Evelyn told me that the suspect was another second-year student of the same class as the victim and the girl that witnessed everything .

The guy was called Steven . He was the heir of a small noble family that came to the capital to study in the academy . He had never shown inclinations towards violence, so the reason behind the murder was a mystery .

The reason Evelyn brought me with her was to protect the teachers . Simply from the fact that the killer did not leave behind any traces, there was a high probability of him being a high-layered powerhouse . Someone like that was too powerful for normal teachers to face .

We arrived at Steven's bedroom shrouded in a tense atmosphere . Both of us were circulating our mana in preparation for a possible fight .

\"Ready?\" Evelyn whispered in my ear . I closed my eyes briefly and nodded .

\"Let's go!\"

The next second, Evelyn teleported us inside Steven's room .
