Chapter 437 142 - Shocking reveal (part 2)

|SHE IS?! You were serious about that?!|

Zoemi gasped, completely stunned by the revelation that turned out to be true all along.

"[Of course, why would I lie?]"

Horeo answered in an easygoing tone as if he didn\'t have a single care in the world.

|And this isn\'t really a problem...?|

Zoemi barely stopped himself from shaking his head in disbelief and glanced back at the gold-haired first prince.

"[There is no problem in this world that would not be solved by an appropriately powerful laser.]"

Horeo pointed and met Zoemi\'s shocked gaze before smiling.

|I believe that you said you didn\'t want to take the throne by force...|

"[Wanting and having to are two different things. Still, it is still too early to go all the way there. It is an option, but not something set in stone. You see, there is something going on - a piece of new information surfaced and it shared some light on the entire case, showing us a new perspective. You are going to the Perserios territory soon, aren\'t you? That\'s actually perfect.]"

Zoemi groaned internally but got a completely serious response.

|How come literally everyone knows that I agreed to help Devios with the barbarians?! Did he pay off wind magicians to share that news all over the kingdom?!|

The black-haired boy scoffed in annoyance - which only made the first prince\'s smile that much wider.

"[Zoemi... where were you in the morning? Lord Vereq posted an announcement regarding that on the announcement board. As a sage, you are required to fulfill your obligation to the kingdom, and you will do so by aiding the Perserios family and protecting our border from the tribes of barbarians. You... hold on, you seriously don\'t know?!]"

Horeo rolled his eyes over his friend\'s absentmindedness, but then his expression changed into that of an actual shock when he realized that the black-haired boy wasn\'t joking or being dense as always.

"..."

Zoemi gritted his teeth and stood up even though the red-haired teacher, Ikarveth, was in the middle of his lecture.

"Student Banemor... is something wrong...?"

The man asked, just as confused as almost all of the students who stared at the black-haired boy.

"Apparently yes. Don\'t mind me I need to go check something."

Zoemi shrugged his shoulders, already on his way toward the door without asking for permission to leave or anything.

"(Master, we can check things for you!)"

"(Or ask other sentinels to see what it is about!)"

|Thank you, but no. I want to see it for myself.|

His resident sentinels called to him, but the black-haired boy refused their offer as he stormed out of the classroom.

---------

When Zoemi reached the announcement board the biggest and most prominent document put up for everyone to see was the one that Horeo was talking about.

A full-page written in an unnecessarily flowery language informing the reader about his, Zoemi\'s, departure from the Academy to the Perserios territory within the following week.

"...he said that the headmaster put that up, didn\'t he...?"

The black-haired boy spoke to himself in a low voice.

"(He did.)"

"(...who are we talking about...?)"

The first sentinel confirmed their host\'s words without hesitation even though the second one was very much confused about the question.

"Little ones, do you know where Burushi is right now?"

Zoemi continued speaking out loud while breathing deeply, really doing his best to stay calm even though anger was literally filling every cell of his body.

This whole situation wasn\'t even about lack of trust - it was straight-up insulting.

"(We can call her to come here...)"

"(Or to your room...!)"

Both sentinels sensed the extremely bad mood of their master and tried to appease him while complying with his request in a way.

"I

feel that I need to move around or I will start breaking things. I can walk a bit. Where is she?"

Zoemi shook his head and asked while already walking away from the announcement board.

"(Miss healer is in the servant\'s breakroom!)"

"Thank you."

The second sentinel revealed and the black-haired boy nodded, changing his route and going in the right direction.

The noise of his crystal cane furiously hiring against the ground was echoing through the hallways even louder than his footsteps, bringing the attention of the Academy\'s staff and the attendants busy with their own chores, but it didn\'t bother the black-haired boy at all.

Within the next few minutes, he reached the right room and walked inside after barely tapping on the door instead of knocking.

"...?!"

The blond-haired girl - the only person in the room at the moment - hurriedly sat properly on one of the couches she was sprawled in a very unladylike manner just a moment earlier.

"Eh...? Zo... my lord? Did something happen?"

Burushi raised her brows and realized that the person bursting in was none other than her fellow reincarnated human, and asked in surprise.

"Nothing much, I\'m just livid because... what in the fucking hell...?!"

Zoemi shrugged his shoulders while gritting his teeth in annoyance before his eyes wandered off deeper into the room and widened right before he cursed out loud in utter shock.

"...eh...? Wha... what is going on...?"

Burushi cowered, taken aback by the considerably odd behavior of the black-haired boy, and looked between him and the direction that he was staring at, but it was only one of the tables there.

And the table was empty too.

That particular furniture wasn\'t anything special but also wasn\'t hideous or inconvenient enough to elicit such a reaction either.

Well, the thing was, from someone with a healing attribute - or most attributes, to be honest - perspective, there was nothing there.

But for someone with a shadow attribute - or at least something similar to it - there was a unique shadow hovering right above the table.

"..."

All thoughts and anger were literally shoved out of Zoemi\'s mind because of the sight.

Because he recognized the unique shadow.

It belonged to the student who died on the very same table almost a year back.

Xeonith Zarble Derizno.

"What the hell? It\'s just like with Ludier...!"

Zoemi gasped to himself, approaching the table and observing the slowly rotating unique shadow.
