There is a kind of ‘reversal therapy’.

It’s a way to create an eerie feeling by mixing two elements that don’t fit together at all.

Let’s take an example. We are not surprised if a murderer who slaughters dozens of people pours blood into a glass and drinks it.

However, if people find out that the killer is actually someone who elegantly drinks milk every morning, their mouths will open in shock.

This is my story. What does it matter if you drink some milk? Why drink tasteless blood!

Another example can be given. People don’t really care if there’s blood in the slaughterhouse. Of course you think it must be animal blood?

But when that blood gets on the amusement park, people scream.

It was really funny. It’s like being indifferent to the human blood on a slaughterhouse, but confused about the blood of animals on the amusement park.

Well, anyway, this is the moment when the audience’s expectations are shattered. I really enjoy that moment.

A murder occurred at the once peaceful Eden Academy.

Is there any other incident as intuitive yet extreme as this?

“Crazy, crazy, crazy! Um, is that really a corpse? Did someone really die?”

“Aaagh! Mom, Mom!”

“Stop being noisy! What kind of crazy bastard… Ugh! Oooh!”

No matter how much the academy is a training center for combat weapons, the only students here are kids who have never seen a dead body. The third graders, who were dispatched and saw the carcasses of animals a few times, are trying hard to keep their composure.

“… Isn’t that Veronica?”

After that small question, one by one, they began to lose their composure. Of course, I was the one in the crowd asking questions.

veronica. The power of the third grade. If Cheonwoong Stella is a powerhouse in the suburbs, Veronica is a powerhouse within the school.

That’s why she died. I was definitely alive and breathing just fine until yesterday.

The body was even hung on the wall of the main building. The students could not hide their astonishment. Those whose complexions turn blue take a step back.

“Woof! Dead!”

“Yes, he’s dead.”

“Can I eat it? It’s a corpse!”

“No. you are a dog No, actually, the animal that eats the most people a year is a dog, but that still doesn’t work for you. You are a student.”

“It’s okay! That doesn’t taste good!”

“… When have you ever eaten someone? How do you know it’s not tasty?”

“Oof! Raw meat! no! Grilled food is delicious! And the cow tastes better!”

Aru is the only one with a cheerful voice. The students stepped back and looked at Aru with tired faces. It looks like Aru’s notoriety will go down even further after today.

“Really? thank god. The current continent is dominated by humans, so if you eat humans, you’ll be in big trouble. Later, when cows dominate the continent, then they eat humans.”

“Is that possible? bruise? Doesn’t that mean you won’t be able to eat cows then?”

“Don’t worry. Because it won’t come, at least not within a million years. The world after that is unknown.”

I leisurely put my hands on the back of my neck and observed the crowd’s reaction. Naturally, most people were completely preoccupied with the corpse.

It was the same for Maria.

Maria, facing a corpse for the first time in her life, sat down. Next, several teachers rushed over and covered Mary’s eyes.

They blatantly give me special treatment because I am a saint. It’s worth it. If there were any problems with Maria’s physical or mental health, it could escalate into a diplomatic issue with the Holy Church.

uh? But I already stole Maria’s lips?

Ahaha, your saintly lips are delicious. I have to steal it again tonight!

however… Why?

“It’s fascinating.”

“Woof?”

“Amazing. Even if it’s you.”

There are people who remain indifferent even after seeing a corpse.

Of course, this is impossible for ordinary people.

King John.

He, the academy’s physical education teacher, was glaring at the corpse with cold eyes and a whistle in his mouth.

Paladin Beatrice Constantino.

She was looking at me with a troubled expression. What, why, what should I do? What you looking at.

These two are understandable. Having lived in the wild with Aru for hundreds of years, it would be even weirder to make a fuss over just seeing a single human corpse.

Third Princess Albrecht is also maintaining her composure. Albrecht looks indifferently at Veronica’s body being lowered from the wall by the hands of the teachers. There seems to be no particular inspiration.

Albrecht… I understand because it’s Albrecht. Because he is such an extraordinary seed. My mind can’t predict anything.

Yes, these three are understandable. But why!

Why is the hero so indifferent?

Frey raises his head and looks up at the corpse. Her bright yellow blonde hair has a slightly desolate air. Let’s put aside romantic sentiments and take a closer look at the color of your face.

Really, it’s nothing.

As if he were someone who had experienced this countless times.

This is the face of a veteran soldier. This is not the expression of an academy student.

He seems a little surprised. But that was due to the fact that there was a corpse in the academy, not the corpse itself.

I don’t understand that.

When has Freyr ever seen a corpse? He may have received such training from the empire due to his position as a warrior, but he still has such an unmovable mind at that age?

From the moment he cast his right to remain silent even after being hit by my fist, I guessed that this was not normal. But I didn’t know it would be to this extent.

Maria said there was no need to doubt, but she couldn’t help but inevitably have doubts. How did a bitch with that kind of mentality end up bowing down to the devil? Where did you even have a one-on-one meeting with the Demon King?

“Telecinesis.”

Ugh-.

At the moment when the questions continued, the body that was being carefully transported from the hands of the teachers suddenly flew into the sky.

Veronica, now cold, crosses the air. Students scream.

The place Veronica arrived was in the arms of an American young man. Although I doubt whether I can call that ‘wizard’ a young man.

“Ha, Dean!”

“Dean Merlin!”

Merlin Gregory. The strongest archmage in history and a superhuman who entered the 9th Circle in a human body.

This is the appearance of the highest authority in the Academy.

This is my subjective evaluation, but Merlin is one of the top 5 strong men among all races in the modern era. Gods and dragons combined.

What would have happened if I, who had absorbed the Dragon Lord in my past life, had not taken the students hostage when I fought Merlin at the academy?

What happens? Still, I won. If necessary, you can use the joker card.

“What is this-!”

Merlin, who holds Veronica in the princess’s embrace, unleashes his mana to attack her.

The playground is loud. The floor shakes as if the earth is shaking. It is a slanted playground.

“Everyone, please stand still-!”

Ppajik-.

Wow, that crazy old man.

Do you know what Merlin just did? Oh my god, I spit out the words and cast a spell at the same time. To all students and faculty.

A restraining spell was cast that prevented him from moving even a single step.

Its power is not weak. It’s me, not anyone else, that makes my body tingle. At this level, other people would feel the pressure of being crushed by Mount Tai.

“Haha… Oh, what a monster old man he is.”

“Kkiing… ! What is this… .”

“Aru, you should never fight with that person. If you make a mistake… Because it really goes to the goal.”

“Kiaaa… ! My body feels strange… !”

In this way, all the people in the academy were detained. We stayed like that for a while.

I was worried about missing class, but the dean himself made it happen so what was the problem?

After a while, the imperial police arrived with a loud siren sound. They quickly brought the situation under control, preserved the scene, and stopped by Veronica’s room.

Afterwards, the investigation began. A situation where everyone at the academy may be a suspect. We continued to remain still under Merlin’s restraints.

Three bullets from an air rifle were found in Veronica’s body. No one was captured on surveillance cameras. Police suspected that someone had murdered Veronica through the window.

That’s correct.

however… .

“… No matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find anything that even resembled an air gun. There isn’t even anything resembling a fingerprint on the window frame.”

I guessed it just up to that point.

Can not help it. Since I flew through the sky, there are no footprints left behind, I used telekinesis to open the window, and the air rifle and shotgun are now in my arms. To be exact, he entered ‘Arachne’s sack’.

Lord Arachne is a being who twists space. This sack, made from her spider web, can hide even the largest items in a small sack. Of course, it is impossible for objects such as buildings that cannot even pass through the entrance of the bag.

“What does that mean! Are you saying that a ghost came and murdered Lady Veronica?”

The case fell into mystery.
