238 Chapter 238

At this point, the entire East Building of St. Ansa Castle tilted to the point where it began to be at a 45-degree angle to the ground; if not for the power of magic, the building would have collapsed long ago.

"Why is there a paladin, Caesar University absolutely cannot appear the paladin profession," Kacie wondered.

"With the exception of the Inquisitorial Order of the Holy See, I have never seen the appearance of other paladins."

Zavier agreed and added, "Those who did not use holy light should be the legendary paladin's war servants."

"A paladin typically has two ordinary servants in charge of maintaining the armor and holy sword, as well as four diviners in charge of fighting alongside the paladin."

The Holy See wanted to kill him was a real possibility; after all, blood blade was a highly immoral magic. The Pope had long stated that the blood blade was a form of black magic, and the Inquisitorial Council would issue holy warrants to mages who used the blood blade.

The question was, how did the Holy See know he could control the blood blade?

According to what Uncle Val had said, everything about him was shrouded in mystery within the Empire.

Zavier shook his head, assuming he wasn't fighting alone, but it now appeared that he couldn't put his faith in others.

If the Holy See was astute enough to learn everything about him from other people's information, the situation would be very different from what he expected.

"We'll meet again," Zavier thought to himself.

They didn't say anything else and just stared in awe at Zavier. They could tell Zavier's abilities were far beyond their comprehension and ability. Their admiration, however, was mixed with some emotions in their hearts.

That terrifying aura was completely different from Zavier's calmness, and it was even scarier than a Kekkaishi's aura.

Even if they used all of their best resources, they would be helpless against someone who could control blood blades.

Furthermore, the opponent might not even only use magic, so there was nothing anyone could do against him unless they had a secret weapon as well...

Nobody knew when the time would come.

He would even be able to use the fact that they had no idea where he was hiding to flee the world and live in seclusion, eventually becoming the strongest of these ones. ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦

He motioned to Kacie and Nadia to hurry up, and the three of them walked out of St. Ansa Castle without making a sound.

———————————

The most important buildings on the campus of Caesar University were the main school building, where classes were held, St. Ansa Castle, where magic was practiced, the Niccolo Library, which had been around for a long time, and the Guardian's Building, which watched over the whole campus.

This structure was constructed to keep the students safe within its boundaries. It could withstand almost any attempt to break in.

However, each of the universities' main buildings had been attacked several times. Even though they were all powerful magical structures, they couldn't last forever, and only the Guardian's Building remained standing in these cases. Of course, this structure was equally valuable; it housed the most books, as well as many powerful spells and artifacts.

Zavier fled the East Building of St. Ansa Castle, which was on the verge of collapsing.

When they left, they noticed that many students were leaving because the freshmen could see the boundaries as being so large right now.

When a magical boundary of at least B-rank strength appeared, no one wanted to rush over to St. Ansa Castle.

Everyone understood that a B-rank boundary would result in the deaths of numerous innocent people. And, while they were capable of protecting the students, they were also capable of getting themselves into trouble. As a result, they all rushed to the Niccolo Library.

When Zavier brought Kacie and Nadia to the guardian building, they saw a big group of senior graduates and a lot of magic traps and improvised magic formations on the ground.

They were looking around, as if to say, 'I'll see who dares to come.'

Zavier had no choice; he didn't know if there was a professor inside, and if he tried to force Kacie and Nadia in, they'd be besieged by each other.

He had just noticed a few familiar faces among the crowd of senior graduates when he noticed them.

Gabby, Ibneiah, and Macbeth from Melbourne High School were among them.

The three did not appear to be coerced, but rather to be in collusion with the seniors.

Zavier sighed in frustration, wondering how a simple Welcome Competition had devolved into this.

The murderer, the professor's malicious treatment, and the seniors' and juniors' collusion to put pressure on the rest of the freshmen...

Every day, those freshmen had nothing better to do but come over and trash him. The Melbourne High School trio was supposed to be sentenced.

They used a loophole in the rules to rape their classmates, and now they were working with the seniors to find the freshmen.

When he got the chance, Zavier needed to give these three a run for their money. But first, he had to deal with these assassins.

The first thing he needed to do was figure out where he was.

The illusionist clone was already in place and not too upset.

However, he felt bad after going through the clone's memory. He remembered seeing the gatekeeper at the entrance when he arrived, but the gate was empty when the clone arrived.

There were no teachers or professors to be found along the way.

The only professor still on campus in the entire school district was most likely the guy who wanted to teach him a lesson. f𝒓𝑒e𝙬𝒆𝚋𝘯૦𝘷𝐞𝑙.c𝑜𝐦

He now regretted coming so early in the morning; he should have returned to sleep after waking up.

Zavier decided to stay in the academy until it was time to leave and return to the church after some more thought. At the same time, he considered going to the library to find something that would assist him.

While Zavier was thinking, a senior student patrolling near the guardian building sneezed with an unexpected rise, froze, and then pointed to where the three of them were hiding and shouted, "Ugh, there are three hiding!"

The seniors who had been stationed here on guard had grown tired of waiting and flocked to them as soon as they saw them.

Zavier dragged the two grils and began to flee without saying anything.

At the same time, he noticed that the magical shield that had never appeared on him before had reappeared.

It appeared that he was once again discovered by the professor, which puzzled Zavier; why wasn't that skull of little use?

It was obvious that no one had noticed the Kekkaishi when he had used it earlier.

The three of them fled, dodging the various magic that flew behind them.

The number of seniors following them was also growing. When Zavier realized the situation was dire, he dashed towards the clone.

He couldn't perform to his full potential in front of so many students, but that didn't mean the clone couldn't. Those who trailed him felt an incomparable heart warp as he dashed past the tree where the clone was hiding.

As the sky and the earth got completely dark, the brick and stone ground became so muddy that it was impossible to compare.

The pungent stench of blood made all of the senior graduates feel nauseated.

Crows were always cawing in the trees, and the sound made people feel uneasy.

A monster made entirely of corpses appeared on the ground, twisted together with countless arms, severed limbs, and heads.

At this point, Zavier's consciousness had been transferred to this illusionist clone.

Continuing to move with Kacie and Nadia was reckless with their lives.

Transfering to the clone was the better way to find out who was responsible for his death.

The seniors in front of him fell to the ground one by one, except for those who were mentally strong enough to continue.

After making certain that no one continues to follow his clone, Nadia, and Kacie, he took a few steps in the direction where clone had taken the two girls to flee, and quickly found the skull that clone had found the opportunity to throw down, then proceed quickly toward the auditorium.

The magic power for the whole big magical array was still coming from the auditorium, which showed that the professor was still there.

He wanted to see if this professor was working with the assassin who wanted to kill him.

When St. Ansa Castle caused such a commotion and the professor who was guarding the academy did not react, there must be something wrong.

He took the skull and surrounded it with a strange power, shielding it from the prying eyes of other mages.

With caution, he entered the auditorium and quickly used Time Space Eye to see through the wall to where the professor would sit at the lectern.

Several senior graduates dressed in white stood beside the professor; these were the same people who had just carried the fainting freshman away.

The pen beside the professor remained motionless in the air for a long time before making a stroke on the parchment.

The professor then spoke to the graduates next to him. He saw one of them leave quickly and run toward the main academic building.

Zavier raised his head. With the help of Time Space Eye, he could see what was going on inside, and he watched for a long time, but no one else appeared.

But then he felt a magical wave emanating from the skull in his hand.

Looking down, he noticed the skull's eyes light up quickly and then return to their original form.

The professor in the middle of the auditorium jerked his head up to look outside and exclaimed loudly, "Who is there?"

Zavier vanished into the void in an instant, his speed so quick that he was long gone by the time the professor appeared.

Zavier took out the skull when he reached a safe location. But it looked like the skull could make a boundary to keep people from being watched.

The flaw was that the boundary would disappear at random times, and the enemy would be able to figure out where he was by seeing magical changes.

Zavier had some idea of how to use the sealed artifact now that he had figured out its special effects.

He exited the auditorium quickly.

The good news was that the professor didn't notice the clone. The bad news was that he probably took precautions against it, and thank goodness the large-scale magic array he was using wasn't a trigger-type array.
