Chapter 433: Reincarnated as a Genius of the Most Talented Family

317. The Tragedy of the Final Judgement (2)

The fire was extinguished, and fortunately there appeared to be no serious injuries or property damage.

The Academy security force, including firefighters, arrived at the lab shortly thereafter.

“Thank you very much. Thanks to you two, the initial evolution went well.”

“It was something that had to be done. What about the injured people?”

“There is one person seriously injured, but his or her life is not in danger. He or she will need to recuperate for the time being. By the way, if you don’t mind, could you explain the situation… …”

I explained on behalf of my little sister, who seemed shocked and confused by the final decision.

“Hmm. There was an explosion, and the two of you immediately rushed over when you saw the explosion, put out the fire, cleared the smoke, and even gave first aid to the injured.”

“Yes, I guess so.”

“You did something incredibly brave. No matter how much magic you have, running into an explosion or a fire is a different matter.”

I feel a little better about the unexpected compliment.

But that only lasts for a moment.

“Sister, are you okay?”

“The final decision… … has been suspended for a while… … maybe for a very long time… … .”

“why?”

“One of our professors is seriously injured… … .”

I realized that my little sister wasn’t doing this because of her own finality.

“What about that senior… … .”

Killian.

The younger sister’s senior summoner who has been eliminated in the final round for six years straight due to being disliked by the professor.

“It’s already painful, but I can’t imagine what it’ll be like to hear the news. Someone got hurt, but still, that senior’s wait… … .”

So, that’s the problem.

It seems that the younger sister is still not thinking about the causal relationship of this explosion, or rather, is unable to think about it.

Even if he isn’t involved in the explosion, he might be a witness.

But I am a third party.

When I looked at it through those eyes… … .

I think that senior might be having a hard time for some other reason right now.

“for a moment.”

I opened up the line and contacted Jenna.

-Dane?

“Jenna, do you have a minute?”

-Yeah. The lecture just ended.

“Nothing else, but I’ve seen glimpses of a specific place’s past before through the Gangnyeong. I was wondering if that was possible.”

Where the explosion occurred.

A glimpse into the place’s past might provide clues.

-Oh, that? I purified that soul a while ago. It’s a shame, but I wanted it so badly.

“Really? Then there’s nothing I can do.”

– Did something come up that needed to be done? That’s too bad.

The concept of a platform is not about saving the soul like storing food so that it can be used at any time, but rather about gaining the cooperation of the soul.

So unfortunately, it looks like we’ll have to use a different method this time.

“Dane, what’s wrong?”

While the little sister was asking questions, other academy staff members approached.

This time, the guards were the guards, but their affiliation seemed a little different.

“Are you Dane Sogress or Claire Sogress?”

“Yes.”

“My name is Huckleston, and I am an investigator with the Coast Guard. It is an honor to meet you two renowned gentlemen.”

As I held his hand, which he greeted me politely but firmly, I felt the calluses that had set in firmly.

His hands are his hands, and his sharp eyes seem to be a perfect fit for the position of investigator.

Are you going to be a detective or something?

“I just finished hearing a brief account of the incident from the victims. I heard that the two of you were the first to witness the incident from outside.”

“Yes.”

“When you first came here, didn’t you notice anything strange? Like, signs of outsiders coming and going, or something like that?”

I shook my head.

“Well, I was too busy putting out the fire and giving first aid.”

“I see. Are you two hurt?”

“I’m fine.”

“Thank goodness. For now, you are not a witness, but I think I can contact you as a reference when the investigation progresses. I’m telling you this now, but it seems like the commotion was caused by an explosive device that someone planted.”

It’s as we expected.

Unless it was a self-directed play by the professors in this room, it was an extremely unnatural place for an explosive device to be placed.

Besides, this is an academy, and if it is the Summoning Department, and if it is the final decision of the professors, they would have prepared accordingly.

Still, if the explosion was an accident, there is a high probability that it was caused by someone who knew the inside story well.

“Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work.”

“No problem. Well, I’ll see you again next time.”

After I confirmed that the investigator had returned, I told my little sister.

“I have suspicions about that senior.”

The little sister’s pupils shook greatly.

Surely, you think so.

But what can I do?

“There is only one person who has a strong feeling.”

“… … No matter what.”

That can often happen when there are a lot of people.

Above all… … .

“I heard you failed the final round by 6 years because you were disliked by the professor.”

“… … .”

“Even my older sister, who is in her first final round, is nervous like this, so I wonder what that person will be like.”

“No matter what, you are a professor.”

I shook my head.

At that point, wouldn’t you look more like an enemy than a professor?

I need to hear the details, but in any case, if I had to pick the most likely candidate at this point, it would be my senior, Killian.

“what do you think about it?”

“That senior… … Haa… … The family hasn’t supported him for years, so I heard that this is almost the last time. If it’s true… … .”

The younger sister couldn’t bring herself to continue speaking.

The intent to kill or injure a person is clear.

“what do you think about it?”

“… … .”

The younger sister may seem cold and arrogant on the outside.

That’s why she’s been given a nickname that would make anyone who hears it freak out, like the Ice Princess of the Summoning Department.

Well, well.

The little sister I know is quite a delicate and soft-hearted person.

So much so that it seems like he’s trying to hide it on the outside.

That’s probably why you’d want to meet.

“… … .”

Because I think I thought a lot about that senior.

As a colleague.

And I can help my little sister.

Just like my sisters did.

“Help me, Dane.”

The little sister finally stood up from her seat as if she had made up her mind.

“I want to meet you and hear at least the whole story.”

“Okay, then let’s do that.”

And one more thing.

“Claire, you’re here.”

“professor.”

“I’m sorry. Claire’s thesis was due for final review next. We can’t discuss it right now.”

“… … .”

The man who appeared to be a professor of the Summoning Department sighed deeply.

“As you can see, this is a mess.”

I expected it, but hearing it directly, I can’t imagine how my little sister must feel.

“Once the truth about the incident is investigated and the seriously injured professor is treated, it seems like it will resume later.”

In the end, it means that things need to be resolved quickly.

“Professor Riltarek. Then… …what about your senior’s thesis?”

“… … It’s too bad, but he’s eliminated this time too. Phew. You know that, right? That guy has no talent.”

Talent.

It’s different from what my little sister said.

I looked at Professor Riltarek for a moment and then turned my gaze away.

“Well then, let’s meet again. The thesis… … is a shame.”

Even the professor would say something like that, so I wonder how the younger sister feels.

Perhaps it is just a tragedy in itself.

“Ahem. By the way, Claire.”

“Yes, professor.”

“By any chance… have you seen Killian today?”

“Senior Killian?”

“Yeah. Yeah. Today is the final day, so I was wondering how you feel.”

“… … I haven’t seen it.”

“Yeah. I see. If I knew where you were, I would go and try to comfort you.”

After the professor left, the little sister said.

“That’s the professor. The professor who hates his seniors.”

“Why do you hate it?”

“I refused to follow your orders several times. Of course, they weren’t legitimate orders.”

iced coffee.

He’s someone I can kind of figure out.

“Then is there a reason why you said you didn’t see that senior?”

“Yeah. Something… is a little strange. She’s definitely not the kind of person you’d go to and comfort.”

There seems to be some strange reason for this.

“… … Whatever conclusion I reach, I have to find it quickly.”

Anyway, there’s one more reason to look for it.

“That senior guy lives in the dorm?”

“Rather than a dormitory, I stay in a room attached to the research building.”

“Let’s go from there.”

Investigators have yet to identify a suspect.

In that case, it would be right for us to move first.

It won’t take that long, but it will give us enough time to move.

“This way. Just two floors up.”

My younger sister and I moved to the 8th floor. It was quiet. It seemed like everyone had evacuated because of the fire. I actually liked that.

“It’s a shared lab. Three people share it. Of course, you don’t stay here all the time, but there are three beds inside.”

The lab was open, and the inside was a total mess, either because it was original or because of the evacuation.

“But the inside is still clean.”

“Usually I just sleep. When I open my eyes, I come out again and do research and write papers.”

This process went on for six years and he was rejected several times in the final round.

“That would be good enough, but I also have to take care of the professor, do chores, and assist with the lectures.”

It can’t be helped that it’s not difficult.

Anyway, after looking around the place where the three of them were sleeping, I could immediately tell that it was Killian’s bed.

“Here it is.”

“Hmm. I guess that’s right.”

Notes at the bedside.

The name written there is Killian.

“This… … is not the type of thing you would want to leave behind.”

Those were research notes.

“No matter what, it’s more precious than life to researchers. They never take it off their bodies. Many people don’t even put a security spell on it because they’re worried it might get dirty or damaged.”

There are two reasons why I left my seat… … .

You’re probably not the type to be clumsy, so you must have been so absent-minded that you forgot.

Whew.

And then a gust of wind blows.

The window in the room with the beds is open.

Maybe I left it open for ventilation.

or not…….

Crunch.

I opened the door, looked down and asked.

“Sister.”

“Yeah, Dane.”

“That’s what the senior said. Since you’re writing a thesis on summoning, you must be able to use summoning techniques, right?”

“of course.”

“Then, there must be a summoner who can help me land gently from this height?”

“Yes. If there are guys that can be summoned with that senior’s ability, then there are about four?”

I see.

If so, then judging by the remaining traces of magic power… … .

“It seems like it hasn’t been that long since I left here.”

“How do you know that?”

“I can feel the magic. It’s a little warm. If I were to compare it to an animal, it would leave its scent.”

“Ah. That’s the one I’ve seen since I was little.”

Detecting the flow of magical power.

After obtaining the Ancient Magic Concentration, it became clearer and more powerful, which was an ability I was born with.

[Dane Sogress, is it possible to follow the trail?]

“If the target has just used magic.”

Of course, that doesn’t mean that the traces of magic will remain for a thousand years, so quick tracking is important.

I guess you could say it’s similar to tracking prey.

If Ernest is used to tracking what is actually visible, then in my case it is magic.

“I think I can chase after him right now.”

“Yeah. Just a moment.”

My younger sister immediately put her skills to use in response to my words.

After a while.

“Answer the call.”

What appeared outside the window with a surge of magical power was none other than a wyvern.

My seventh birthday.

That day, the two older sisters who I thought wouldn’t come made a splendid appearance.

The older sister appeared through a teleportation gate, and the younger sister appeared riding this wyvern.

The impact was probably huge.

[I don’t know much about summoning techniques in Arcana because they aren’t very developed, but I can at least guess that they are of a great level.]

I immediately recognized the mini golem.

My little sister giggled and jumped over the windowsill, and then I climbed on top of it too.

“But Sister, is it okay to summon such a large beast inside the Academy?”

“What do I know? It looks like my thesis final review will be postponed indefinitely.”

I immediately agreed with that and nodded.

And I promised.

No matter what happens, I won’t go to graduate school.
