A sense of crisis came.

I felt like if I got caught up in this article like this, I would become the world’s biggest bitch who tried to kill my friend and steal the research results.

“No. I mean no. Listen to me! No, bring another investigator. Ask for a replacement! “I won’t say anything to you!!”

It was obvious that he would do something strange like that.

I received kickback money from someone.

“Unfortunately, because everyone is busy, there are no replacements.”

“What bullshit!!!”

Even though he knew he had been caught, the driver was unfazed.

In fact, the interrogation was conducted more shamelessly and openly.

“I heard you were planning to sell it for money. Is this your first crime?”

You shouldn’t be swayed by this guy.

I had to take my time to protect myself.

“Isn’t it a crime to frame people as criminals in this way? And how did you contact the family? Why doesn’t it come like this? “I have the right to be protected by my family!”

Why are mom and dad so late when their daughter is so dangerous?

What’s the point of getting into a fight with someone you can’t communicate with?

I had to formally borrow the power of the family to replace him with someone with whom I could communicate.

Not a knight who took bribes like that, but a knight who was friendly to the family.

“Ah, they have already arrived.”

At that time, the driver responded in a tone that said something insignificant.

“Arrived? But why aren’t you coming? “Are they forcibly blocking access?”

This is a ridiculous crime!

“That’s not it. “He’s probably being investigated hard right now, so he’s busy and can’t come.”

“inspection?”

Mom and Dad are being investigated?

why?

Could it be that Mom and Dad are also involved with those criminals?

It made no sense, but wasn’t this the situation you’d imagined it would be?

“The parents are the children. “I wasn’t going to say this, but I think they resemble their parents a lot.”

“W-what?”

This was the first time I felt so offended by being told that I resembled my parents.

I had no choice but to do so because there was no kindness in the knight’s words at all.

I knew intuitively that those words were never meant in a good way.

The driver continued speaking with a mocking expression on his face.

“Your parents were also arrested for the same crime as you. “You planned the crime, but you carried it out and committed murder, so the charges are more serious.”

“to?”

My ears become deaf to words I don’t want to believe.

It was natural since the story was that Mom and Dad were being investigated as criminals.

‘Mom and Dad did the same thing to me?’

The crime was stealing someone else’s research results and killing the alchemist who succeeded in the research.

Is that why he asked himself earlier if he was trying to kill him?

“You mean both my parents were captured?”

“of course. The two couples got along very well. “I think the gold liquor would have been pretty good, is that correct?”

Even though the article’s sarcasm continued, I wasn’t angry.

Isn’t the sarcasm in that article important?

If I stay like this, even if I get out of here acquitted, my family will fall apart.

“Yu, Yul. “Please let me meet Yul.”

There is no way that stupid kid would have done something like this, so the culprit must be the sponsor.

‘I should have hooked up with the general store guy I saw back then and stopped. ‘This happened because I brought up the story of the sponsor and got involved.’

Doesn’t it make sense that the family has been leading the family well without any problems so far, and only now is criminal activity becoming a problem?

In the current situation, there is only one person I can desperately ask for.

A person who can convey his or her unfairness to the sponsor on his or her behalf.

I had to meet Yul.

“Why should I do that?”

“How are you going to take responsibility for me when I’m released later? “It’s not good for you if you act carelessly like this!”

“well. Who will listen to you if you leave here? “On the topic of fallen nobles.”

“!!!”

We had to meet by any means possible.

If you meet him face to face and judge him, the weak-hearted Yul will definitely be shaken.

In a situation where the entire family was shaken, there were few people who could not have their pride shattered.

‘Why on earth! ‘He’s different from me!!’

Why is Yul always so lucky?

The same goes for meeting adoptive parents and sponsors.

A great person who cannot respond on his own always defends Yul.

I was so angry about it that I just wanted to vent my anger a bit.

I swear if I had known it would get this big, I wouldn’t have even started.

Tears came out.

The reason the driver exposed his corruption so openly was probably because he was confident that our family would end.

Suddenly, my eyes became dark, and I became at a loss as to what to do.

* * *

The news that the knights had stormed in and kidnapped a student quickly spread throughout the academy.

The academy was in an uproar because the knights had appeared.

Throughout the day, strange rumors arose and changed about the kidnapped friend.

“I heard they killed someone and captured him?”

“Huh~ Now that I think about it, I feel a bit uncomfortable. Wasn’t that what she did?”

“What’s going on?”

“I once saw her say that the cat was cute, and I saw her die shortly afterwards.”

“that’s right! “I think I saw a dead cat too.”

“Didn’t he kill her? You’ve been so fooled all this time. “It’s absolutely creepy.”

Although these students are trained to kill monsters, they do not carelessly kill innocent, cute animals.

“I thought he was a bit strong from the moment I first saw his face.”

“me too! “I did the same thing.”

They say he killed someone, ruined his family, insulted the royal family, experimented on the human body, drank blood, etc.

The exact truth was not revealed and only lies were rampant.

‘They say there is no party involved, but they speak too carelessly.’

It was a friend who had already fallen out with me.

Still, I felt bad hearing the noise around me.

It’s not that I felt bad because I was worried about that friend, but I was disgusted by the other students’ irresponsible malice.

Moreover, among the students who were laughing and talking, there was a group of people that he usually hung out with.

‘I’m not worried at all. ‘After being so close.’

Rather, he seemed uncomfortable about being close to a criminal.

“Yul, would you like to talk for a moment?”

“Yes, teacher.”

When the messy academy class finally ended, I got up straight away.

I couldn’t wait to get out of the academy and go to the lab.

You won’t have to feel unpleasant there.

However, the teacher stopped him from going straight to the lab.

“Actually, it was not me who called you, but the Dean. “I’m going to go to the dean right now, is that okay?”

“Dean me? “What’s going on?”

“Well, I’m going to tell you something you need to hear.”

“???”

The teacher told me that it was actually the dean who called her and took me to the dean’s office.

I greeted the Dean, who was waiting for me inside, and soon after taking my seat, I was told why I had been called here.

“yes? “That’s what your sponsor did today?!”

The dean welcomed me and told me the context of what happened today.

The shocking truth is that what happened today was because the sponsor stepped forward.

“Did you know that there were malicious rumors going around the academy?”

“Did the Dean know that too?”

I didn’t expect the dean to hear that.

“I guess you knew. We should have paid attention, we’re sorry. “You had a hard time, right?”

I felt reassured by the dean’s warm words.

Just like the kids, I was worried that even the dean would believe the rumor, but it seems that wasn’t the case.

Then it suddenly occurred to me that what happened today might be related to the rumor.

Otherwise, there would be no way the dean would comment on the rumor.

“Did something happen because of the rumors?”

“Ha, that’s unfortunate. It seems your sponsor somehow heard about the rumor. “He was very displeased.”

“!!!”

I bit my lip at the shocking words.

I bowed my head and apologized first.

He trusted me and introduced me to a sponsor, but I felt shameful because I had already let him down.

“sorry. I should have behaved properly, but I caused trouble. “Even if you say you will stop supporting us, there is no excuse.”

I sent a thank you letter, but I was a little disappointed when I didn’t receive a reply, but there was a good reason for that.

Like a fool, I shamelessly waited for a reply without even knowing that the sponsor was angry.

‘fool… idiot… .’

I was embarrassed, embarrassed, and shamed, so tears came out.

I was sighing because I was at a loss as to how to repay this inconvenience, when the dean jumped up and said,

“What’s wrong, you’re a victim too!! There will be no interruption in sponsorship. Don’t worry about that part. What I was trying to say is that that’s not the problem. “The child planned the crime, and you are the victim.”

“Victim? “Me?”

Could it be that the child was really captured because of the rumors?

Even though I thought it made no sense, I became dizzy because there was no explanation for the situation other than that.

“They spread bad rumors about me, but that can’t be called a crime, right?”

I couldn’t understand why drivers would go out of their way to do something like that.

“Of course, they didn’t arrest him based on rumors. “He did something much more serious and bad.”

“I was surprised when they said I was the victim and I thought it was because of rumors.”

“Other than that, it seems like you don’t think you’ve suffered any harm.”

“Yes, I was hurt, but other than that, I didn’t suffer much damage.”

After hearing the answer, the dean clicked his tongue as if he felt sorry.

“This is possible because we discovered and prevented the crime before it occurred. “That child wasn’t taken by the knight for nothing.”

Was his friend trying to commit a crime so serious that a driver had to come and take him away?

“Please tell me more details.”

“It will be a big shock to hear this, but are you okay?”

“are you okay. I’m not that weak. “I really want to hear it because it’s my job.”

I answered with as much composure as I could, telling the dean that I could endure it.

“Yes, it’s something we’ll find out over time anyway. “It would be better to know when you are ready.”

The dean finally told us the full story of the incident.

“At first, we had no intention of making it this big. Since the sponsor is still a student, he expressed his intention to pass on a moderate warning. “He directly asked me to be his student.”

“ah… !”

“Rather, it was I who was at fault.”

“The Dean?”

“The problem was that I didn’t teach that child properly. He seemed to be reflecting in front of me, but he seems to have a bigger grudge against you on the inside. So, I guess I was thinking about doing something to you.”

I heard everything about what my friend had planned and how he teamed up with a criminal to accomplish it.

After hearing that they had already decided where to sell the research results, I was so shocked that I couldn’t think of anything.

And as my calm, calm mind gradually came to its senses, a sharp shock came a little later.
