【Chapter 181】

“Hmm?”

At his words, Grace waved her hand dismissively with an expression that said he was worrying about trivial things.

“Security? The guards are already standing watch, aren’t they?”

“How about adding one high-level security guard while we’re at it?”

“Well, if you want to make trouble for yourself, I won’t stop you.”

When he replied nonchalantly with a good-natured smile, Grace shrugged her shoulders.

She seemed to think it was a bit excessive, but judged that it wouldn’t be bad since the children would be safe.

“Thank you. Then I’ll be going, Your Majesty.”

Bishop, who had been smiling wickedly inside, quickly entered the forest and began searching for Kail.

First, the plan to hand Kail the berserk potion had to be revised.

It would obviously look suspicious if a professor suddenly intervened during the competition to give water to a student.

‘Good. I’ll pretend it’s an accident and splash it right on the back of that guy’s head.’

The berserk potion was most effective when the drug flowed directly down the throat, but just touching the skin was sufficient.

While he was busily searching for Kail like that.

In the distance, among the male students, he spotted distinctively tall white hair.

It was Kail.

“It’s really amazing. The monsters are following closely behind Young Master Kail.”

“I told you it’s a special ability.”

“But they’re following him as if they’re enchanted.”

Kail was at the center of the students.

For all that, he seemed uninvolved in the conversation, but the students appeared proud just to be with him.

‘If they knew that ability isn’t a special power but because monster blood is mixed in… would they still make such flattering remarks?’

No. Absolutely not.

No matter how much Grace tried to change perceptions about monsters, humans were inherently inclined to be wary of and despise beings different from themselves.

After all, there was a reason why nobles discriminated against commoners despite being the same humans.

It was because they thought they were different.

“Hey there, honor students!”

Bishop called out to the students with a bright smile.

With his right thumb, he uncorked the bottle’s cork stopper.

“…Bishop?”

“Teacher! Why are you here?”

“Don’t tell me you’re participating in the competition too, Teacher?”

The group of students stopped walking at Bishop’s appearance.

The same was true for Kail.

Turning his head with an utterly uninterested expression, he gazed at the sky, half-looking at Bishop, half not.

His expression was confident, as if he didn’t need to mind anyone.

And Kail’s leisurely and even bored-looking attitude touched Bishop’s competitive spirit, who had only intended to carry out his mission.

‘…Why so relaxed? Is the competition a joke?’

Bishop had occasionally seen magicians in the Kingdom of Doctia who made such expressions.

It was mostly the expression worn by those who were nobodies in the magic tower, the type who found human praise most tiresome.

Beyond winners, geniuses uninterested in worldly affairs.

‘I need to see that guy’s face look flustered.’

Bishop envied them and secretly cast curse magic whenever he encountered them.

He hated seeing those who showed such expressions and attitudes in front of him.

“Why would I participate in the competition, you kids! I just came out for security in case of any unexpected situations. By the way, have you lured many monsters?”

As he walked toward the children, the liquid in the bottle hidden behind him sloshed.

“Young Master Kail has claimed them all! He’s like the Pied Piper, isn’t he?”

“Still, he’s been teaching us roughly how to communicate with monsters, so we think we’ve caught quite a lot too.”

“Really?”

His gaze dropped as he smiled, showing his white teeth.

A stone.

It was something commonly seen on unmanaged forest paths.

“You chose your route well, kids. Yes. Before you start working in society in earnest…”

Pretending to smile brightly at the children, he deliberately bumped the tip of his shoe against the stone and fell forward.

“Ugh!”

As a result, the berserk potion in the bottle splashed onto the faces of Kail and the students.

‘Got it!’

The corners of Bishop’s mouth rose as he fell with a thud.

“T-Teacher!”

“Why did you fall when the path is even flat?! I keep telling you to walk considering your age now!”

Age talk from young brats was always painful, but the corners of Bishop’s mouth rose with a fishy smile as he lay on the ground.

He was truly a perfect spy!

To carry out his mission even while sacrificing his body.

Indeed, the potion had splashed directly onto Kail’s face.

The berserk effect would take place within 5 seconds.

1 second, 2 seconds-…

“…Sorry, kids. Teacher must have left his mind somewhere else. What should we do about you getting wet, are you okay?”

3 seconds.

As Bishop quickly got up while counting numbers in his head and scratched the back of his neck with a hearty laugh-

“I’m not okay.”

Clear purple eyes stared at Bishop.

“Huh?”

Bishop’s eyes widened as he was about to count 5 seconds.

“My clothes are all wet.”

Kail was still rolling up the sleeves of his wet clothes with an indifferent expression.

Far from going berserk, his face looked like he had actually snapped to attention thanks to the cold water splash.

How did this happen?

It was then that the flustered Bishop lost his words.

“Teacher.”

Someone called him from behind and poked him with their hand.

When he turned his head in bewilderment, an unexpected person was standing there.

“By any chance, wasn’t this what you were trying to splash on Kail?”

Bright ruby-colored eyes curved into crescent shapes.

It was Aisha, holding a bottle of berserk potion.

1 hour earlier.

[Bishop ‘Yang’ is correct. Come immediately to the front of the 1st floor warehouse of the Academy building without being detected by him.]

As soon as I received the note from Sedric, I thought.

I should pretend to participate in the competition while immediately entering the Academy building.

“Miss Leila. I have something urgent to attend to, so I need to go out… Would you be okay going in alone?”

“Yes! My purpose is to overcome trauma anyway, rankings don’t matter. But is something wrong?”

Hmm. Well. I need to catch a spy…?

Of course, I couldn’t tell her the truth.

But I couldn’t think of any particular excuse either.

Then there was only one thing left.

“…I need to use the bathroom urgently. I ate three puddings yesterday.”

“Oh.”

Poop talk makes everyone except children solemn.

Leila’s eyes widened sympathetically at my words, and she patted my shoulder telling me to hurry and go.

So the moment I, having become a poop-covered mess in an instant, suppressed my shame and entered the first-floor storehouse of the Academy.

“…Sedric?”

“You came quite quickly.”

A man who had been standing in one corner of the storehouse appeared.

He had common brown hair and brown eyes, but judging by his way of speaking, it was definitely Sedric.

As soon as he saw me, he began to speak the words he had prepared as if this was the beginning.

“First of all, that guy Bishop is indeed a real ‘Yang’. And luckily, since I just intervened, he hasn’t been able to make contact with Kail.”

“No wonder Bishop kept staring only at Kail.”

“It’s probably because of this. Among the water bottles he was handing out to students, numerous berserk potions were discovered.”

He lightly kicked a few water bottles that were nearby with the tip of his shoe.

What? When did he switch them out?

Don’t tell me he secretly did the work after bumping into me?

“If ordinary people drink it, there’s no effect, but if a living being mixed with monster blood drinks it, berserk symptoms occur. Since I’ve already switched the potions with regular water, the situation that bastard wants won’t happen.”

At his perfect presentation, I gaped and stared at Sedric.

…Just a few days ago he was like a precious child, when did he grow up like this.

“Now what we need to do is find documents that will prove these potions are berserk potions and find that bastard…”

“Brother Sedric!”

I couldn’t help it.

I didn’t know he would do this well for me.

Watching him with moved eyes, I unconsciously hugged Sedric tightly.

“…Wh, what…”

I could feel his flustered body stiffen.

Even so, Sedric seemed reluctant to push me away, repeatedly bending and straightening his arms that were floating in the air awkwardly.

Regardless of that, I decided from now on.

Sedric is undeniably a direct member of the Croste Ducal Family and my eldest brother.

He can’t run away anymore.

I burrowed into his embrace and muttered.

“Listen carefully. From now on, cutting off conversations is forbidden, ignoring us is forbidden, saying you don’t deserve to be family is forbidden, sneaking away alone during dessert time is forbidd—”

“Is this the time to say such things? Get a grip and stand up straight.”

But the touching atmosphere was only brief.

As I was pushed away and looked at him somewhat dissatisfied, Sedric continued his story.
