Parallel World Academy - Parallel World Academy chapter 132
Episode 132 Watcher.
* * *
I’ve tried to get rid of that shady pretense from Cecilia early on, but it’s always going to fail.
So, now I am very satisfied with the situation.
These placenta sitting around the round table now realize that Cecilia has some doubts, and since her loyal servants have become a yard where she can’t even take care of, she has to reveal her true nature under her hood.
There was no need to try any more of those annoying things.
“Let’s talk slowly. What were you hiding?”
“okay. Now it doesn’t matter what you say.”
It was a tone that seemed to be relieved to finally be able to talk openly.
How did he regain his composure in the face of revealing his hidden secrets?
It’s probably not reassuring to think of a few poor excuses.
There are very few guys here who are innocent enough to be fooled by nonsense.
you will know it too
The fact that you shouldn’t give me an excuse to bite you even a little bit.
Therefore, there was no choice but to be curious about Cecilia’s next words.
“Remember what I said when I was recruiting you?”
“About it. Everyone has their own corners, so we have to make up these people.”
“Actually, that story didn’t really matter to me. In the first place, it was the Watchers side, not me.”
“Cecilia-san is also a watcher, isn’t it? Don’t try to put the blame on it.”
“It is strange that the person who used to say ‘I’m tired of eating the watcher’ is now using the excuse that it was an order from the superior.”
On the right, Katarina was shooting, while on the left, Chun Hyeon-woo was helping the rebuke.
Serena was watching the scene with interest.
Looking back on the fact that the two were mostly reticent in any situation, it was clear that it was an unusual scene.
It was something that even me, who was close to me, had never seen before.
However, no one looked at Cecilia with the same gaze as Serena.
The rest of them just stared at Cecilia coldly with the corners of their mouths sunken as if they agreed with the criticism.
Perhaps if Serena goes through what we experienced, she will react similarly.
Regardless, Cecilia continued her story.
“You must have noticed something strange. The contradiction of why the Watchers, one of the most asymmetrical forces in the world, wanted to send rookie cadets to the front line.”
“It must have been because the Watchers were watching us early.”
“Exactly. Having said that you succeeded in taking control of the Mitsuru family, it seems that you have obtained a lot of important information. A child or a cadet.”
“It’s not even necessary. It’s a very obvious number. An Awakener with a Future Poetry, an Awakener who distinguishes the truth from the lies, the second daughter of ‘Carlyle’. Aren’t they all talents that the watcher can’t help but covet? I don’t even need to tell you.”
“I just said it to congratulate you on taking over the real power of the family. There’s no way I could have told such an obvious story without knowing it, right?”
The watchman was looking at us.
It’s a shame, but it was something I hadn’t even thought about.
Even I was the first to bring up the story of the Watcher.
The rest of the cadets, except for Aina, showed an unexpected reaction, but they yawned with a sign of boredom, perhaps because it was a very natural story that could not even inspire Serena and Esmeralda.
“So, why did the watchman do that behind the scenes? In the first place, Cecilia-san gave up her watchdog status.”
“I became a watcher to keep an eye on my own family, Valerie from the inside. The fact that we almost monopolize the succession ideology is an open secret. I set myself up to be a watcher, as it was obvious that I would see it from the outside with unwelcome eyes.”
“I mean, it’s not just that I quit because I got tired of the responsibilities. After the clan’s civil war is over, you must also serve as head of state, which is against the first rule of the watcher, ‘keep neutral’.”
“You know. So let’s go one step further. What do you think we would think? An unknown third force that wants to set foot in a family where only the blind watchers remain, even those whom they have been wary of.”
You must have thought it was done with a conspiracy.
Aina’s participation in the war must have been seen as the Mitsuru family’s ambition to steal inherited ideological powers from the bloodline of Valery.
Leon, who was once famous as Cosmos’ dog dog, and his sister Priscilla’s sudden move would seem to the watcher who maintained a hostile relationship with Cosmos as a ploy to extract information from the extinct Valerie.
Hyeonu Chun is one of the people who can use Jinjo’s blood most effectively.
It was not a very biased view to recall the reasoning that I, who was close to all of them and could even foresee the future of the fall of the Valerie family, would be behind me.
“… It would be awkward.”
“okay. We don’t know what you were thinking. Could it be that someone with insidious intentions gave orders from behind? Even if they are young children who are still in high school age, there is plenty of room for doubt.”
“I believe in our cute disciples, but do you understand that Cecilia human being? Kids these days are so clever.”
Serena giggled and waved her hands.
I wondered why words and actions were playing separately, but I soon found out what those hand gestures meant.
Because the hand was ‘obviously’ pointing at someone.
Of course, they weren’t the only ones who would fall for such a childish provocation.
“In other words, confirmation was needed… This is what you are saying.”
“Right. We needed to find out if it was really good intentions or not.”
“For some reason, I was skeptical that a person with a lot of connections could not even properly prepare the equipment or crew, but it was simply to test us. The tears of the ocean were merely tools to watch over us.”
“I will not deny it. However, that’s just the rest of the reason. The superiors insisted we still have to watch, but I thought it was okay to trust you. ‘Watcher’ may have been used as a tool, but ‘Cecilia’ was a gift sent with pure intentions, so please forgive me.”
He slowly rolled his eyes toward Chun Hyun-woo.
He also quickly understood the meaning of the gesture, and nodded his head slightly.
It meant ‘true’.
“Hey, it must be a very difficult situation. In conclusion, until now we’ve only been playing in the hands of the watchers, aren’t we? Of course, the problem with that idiot who immediately grabbed his hand just because they had the same intentions was a big problem.”
“sorry. I have nothing to say.”
“Ugh. I tend to agree with the saying that you need to raise your kids strong, but I don’t think this can be taken lightly.”
Serena, who had been touching only the tip of her chin all the time, suddenly had a knife in her hand.
The tip was aiming at Cecilia’s neck and digging in, creating a dangerous situation.
“Ex-Watcher, I’m ignorant, and I’m not used to talking around. If you twist it like that, you don’t understand it well, do you? How about having a more practical story? For example, stories that have not yet been confessed. I’m afraid I’ll give you a little more power if I make a mistake, but why don’t you tell me as soon as possible?”
‘The villain wasn’t something anyone did.’
It was an old-fashioned frightening statement that was too old-fashioned, but the effect was quite good.
How many people are bold enough to stab a knife right into the neck of the person you’ve been talking to before?
Even with overwhelming force, it was an action that only Serena with a truly vicious mind could do.
“Once again, I sincerely apologize for deceiving you into taking risks, for exposing you, for trying to convince you.”
“Reconciliation. Finally, this agenda has come up. It’s okay to cut out all useless rhetoric. It’s like taking a risk, saying something, it’s a fact they knew long ago, even if you didn’t tell me. The previous apples are useless.”
“Cadet Park Seong-jin expressed his intention not to be part of any hero team. That means there’s no one better than this for the Watchers to roll over. Others also said that they listen to what Seongjin Park has to say.”
“So, you mean you were trying to cook it and eat it like your dog. Right, no.”
“Not to that extent”
“Uh-huh.”
A blunt hilt stabbed Cecilia in the chest.
Nevertheless, Cecilia’s upright attitude showed no room for improvement, only drawing parallel lines.
This was more likely not because Cecilia was an arrogant person, but because she knew it was better to stick with her current posture.
If the situation would get better just by lying flat on your stomach and bowing your head, you would have done it earlier.
The problem was that the person he was dealing with was Serena.
If I acted a little bit, it would have only had the opposite effect.
“… If there was only one other person, it would be a Katarina cadet.”
“Katrina? He’s just a kid who accidentally gets in the way, isn’t he? What does this have to do with this case?”
“What is the reason for accepting the event in a hurry even though you expressed your intention to participate in a hurry? It was approved by the superior. Compared to the others, the interest is often low, but Katarina cadets were also included in the list to keep an eye on.”
“The reason is?”
“I don’t know for sure. Heartily. I don’t know what the Watchers are all about, either. The only thing I do know is that the frequency of surveillance of Katarina cadets has increased dramatically since the resurrecting of Ho-Kyung Jeong.”
‘If it’s Ho-Kyung Jeong, he’s a sentinel. It is also known that he died at the hands of the Phoenix. You said that guy came back to life?’
In many ways, it was not a story that had no credibility at all, nor was it an impossible story.
There were also very few Awoken who could use the Resurrection ability.
Among the artifacts, there were several related items.
I don’t know where he was going to use it by reviving it in the field where the main ideological power, the Celestial Astronomy, was already selected, but anyway, it was not worth using.
What was more noteworthy was the fact that Katarina was involved with the former Heavenly Demon.
What kind of connection do you have?
“It doesn’t look like you’re lying. All right, I’ll let you go lightly this time.”
As the silver light flashed, there was a gust of wind.
The carpet that absorbed the color and warmth from her lying down was dyed red.
It fell off the round table half a beat later and started rolling towards the place where it was originally hanging with a dull sound.
“don’t worry. As soon as it falls, pour in a little elixir and it will stick again. It’s a bit pricey, but there’s nothing more than a warning. I know it well because I have tried it a few times.”
