Chapter 126
Ruid bit his lip and walked quickly. Something was covered in white cloth.
There are students around, and everyone’s eyes are red. Some buried their faces and cried.
“He was found dead about a mile away.”
“What about the wound?”
“…It looked like it had been stepped on by a huge monster. “But I’m not sure.”
A drop of sweat flowed from Vincent’s forehead.
“It was so terrible that I couldn’t even recognize its shape.”
“Is it White Bear?”
“yes. Maybe…”
“If it was a mile, which one was it?”
“This is the direction Vicky walked from. that.”
Vincent whispered to Victoria.
“It was discovered near a historical site.”
Ruid, who was right next to me, also heard it.
‘ruins?’
There are no monsters nearby.
To be exact, it is gone.
Because the Knights of Windsor wiped it out.
Monsters are surprisingly clever. If there is a group stronger than you, don’t go near it.
It was only then that Ruid realized why Vincent had that puppy-dog look on his face.
If a monster really killed Sophia, it would be a big mistake. You will not be able to avoid discipline.
“I want to solve it while I’m here, but-”
Victoria stopped talking and looked to the side.
Ruid felt a cold hand stroking his head.
It was one of the twin maids, Ruby. Ruid raised his head.
“hi. young master.”
“hi.”
She bowed her head to Victoria.
“The matriarch is calling.”
“hmm.”
“It’s urgent.”
I looked at Luid with an embarrassed face.
Ruid nodded.
“I’m okay.”
“i get it. …Ame.”
“yes.”
Amelia couldn’t meet Victoria’s eyes.
“Please take care of Louis.”
“…yes.”
“then. See you later. “Louis.”
“huh.”
Victoria finished speaking and walked with Ruby.
Ruid waved his hand.
After opening the gate and disappearing, Vincent said.
“It was true that Vicky was His Excellency’s confidant. “You can even use the gate as you please.”
‘That’s because it’s you.’
Anyway – that’s not the point.
Ruid looked at each one out of the corner of his eye.
The students were panicking – the Knights of Windsor were fiddling with their swords.
‘…Everyone knows. ‘This is going to be quite a difficult problem.’
It may be somewhere else, but Sophia died near where the Knights of Windsor were stationed.
Even if they died in private action, there are quite a few descendants of noble families here.
If they were returned to the system, there was a high possibility that they would fall into the responsibility of the Knights of Windsor.
No, it is definitely a problem.
That’s why the knights are fiddling with their swords.
To kill everyone before it becomes a problem.
Ruid can say for sure. With just one command, they will annihilate the Imperial Academy students without a moment of hesitation.
The kindness of the Knights of Windsor was only directed to the people of the North.
“young master. how will we do it?”
Charlotte came over, yawning. I stretched my legs high into the sky.
“What did Ame-san say?”
“You’ll see…”
Charlotte glanced at Amelia. Amelia was circling in the same spot with her arms crossed.
“You’re getting really angry because we’re just going to get rid of everything, right? “Boss, I feel unfair!”
“Charles went too far.”
“But, it can’t be helped.”
Charlotte placed her hands on her waist and confidently said,
“If you send it back, it will bother us. Wouldn’t it be better to clean it up in advance? “If you were the leader, you would have already taken action.”
“Don’t say that while laughing.”
Charlotte can be scary sometimes. Like just now, he casually calls for ‘extermination’ with an angelic face.
‘…I’m not in a position to talk to others either.’
Even though a person died, there was no emotion, let alone mourning.
Honestly, I’m a hundred times more concerned about Delrin. Ruid made a bitter expression.
“Uh, Professor Luid.”
At that time, Isabella spoke. She looked a little nervous, but managed to smile.
“An accident occurred… Wouldn’t it be unreasonable to force classes like this? “Why not go back to the system first and take the time to reorganize?”
The tail of the last word wavered.
‘…Did you notice?’
Now, their life and death are changing by the second.
‘I’m sorry.’
Ruid smiled and spoke innocently.
“They say there are monsters around here, so it’s dangerous to go back. “Wouldn’t it be better after the incident is properly understood?”
Isabella’s forced smile hardened.
He used the expression “dangerous.” There would be no reason to do that if you took me there yourself.
That also meant that he had no intention of sending it back.
“Go back to your seat and sit down.”
Ruid spoke casually. Isabella’s head bowed.
“yes.”
Charlotte’s eyes lit up as she looked at Isabella’s back.
“what…! “Our master has become cool?”
“I used to be cool.”
“…”
Ruid blushed.
Even though I had spit it out, I was still a little embarrassed.
“greatness. Anyway, I am against killing people.”
Charles flopped down on the floor.
“We can’t keep you locked up in the North for the rest of your life. Louis. “In my experience, there is no better solution than keeping your mouth shut.”
Charlotte said quite seriously.
I knew it.
‘The most important thing is the safety of the North.’
Ruid coolly calmed his mind.
Didn’t you make a promise? I will do whatever it takes to get in the way here.
I have made up my mind. If killing everyone would cause less damage to the north, Ruid would definitely choose that.
But- this time there was another alternative.
“Miho.”
“Kang!”
Miho jumped on her short legs and was hugged by Ruid.
The tail was wagging mercilessly.
“Is it possible to erase everyone’s memories?”
[yes. I can’t guarantee there won’t be any side effects.]
“What kind of side effects are they?”
[If a third party inquires about the erased memories, there is a risk of being ruined.]
“That doesn’t matter.”
‘This is the cleanest solution.’
Rather, it was likely that it would be more troublesome if everyone was killed.
“As expected, Louis is smart.”
Charlotte covered her mouth with her long sleeves and laughed. The sight of Ruid and the fox was so cute.
“Then I’ll take a look around here. young master.”
“To find a monster?”
“huh. Honestly, if there was a monster, I would have known about it a long time ago… but it could be a type of monster that hides its presence. And- I think even if our dog stays here, it will only be a distraction.”
Charlotte stretched lightly and then approached Amelia.
“Ame. Come on.”
“Now, just a moment, Charles! “I’ve almost thought of a solution now!”
“I can’t hear you, I can’t hear you.”
Charlotte recklessly dragged Amelia away. Amelia struggled, but Charlotte’s strength was too strong.
“Charles—!”
“I’ll go. go for it!”
Ruid laughed awkwardly.
“Have a safe trip.”
Charlotte and Amelia disappeared, and Luid turned around.
[master. [Can we erase Sophia’s existence from everyone’s memories?]
Miho was looking forward to finally having a chance to show her power.
“no. “It’s a last resort.”
[Huh?]
“The best option is to save Sophia.”
Ruid stood in front of the white cloth.
Even just looking at the silhouette, it was a horrible corpse.
Most likely, the legs and waist are cut off.
‘It would be clear if I used Dragon Heart.’
That is a secret weapon you might not know.
I’m sorry Sophia, but it was a waste to write it here.
Above all—
this is an experiment.
The dead Sophia was a precious experiment to Luid.
It was also practice to revive the Archmage ‘Delrin’ in the future, just in case.
“Ella. come here.”
“yes!”
Ella often walked closer.
Here, he is the only one with a clear face that is not filled with panic.
“From now on, I’m going to turn back time using the 5th magic. Watch and learn.”
Ella thought for a moment and spoke carefully.
“…Based on my magical knowledge, the only answer is that it is impossible. Mr. Ruid also declared that the body cannot withstand the time magic used against living things.”
“Let me correct this. Is it possible.”
Ruid had already concluded in the past that ‘it is impossible to turn back time for living things.’
However, the reason I could say this with certainty was because of Delrin’s magic.
‘It was too arrogant to think that Delrin would have lower magical achievements than me.’
Of course, even Delrin would not know how to use the time-related part of the 5th magic.
However, what is certain is that his understanding of the ‘space’ part was better than that of Ruid.
That’s right, it was Delrin who created the magic called subspace.
“I decided it was impossible because I was just trying to use time. “It is possible by utilizing space – that is, by utilizing space and time.”
“Space…?”
“huh. “Space and time.”
“Time and space…! “Is this a new theory that Professor Ruid came up with?!”
Ella was overly excited and her eyes shined excessively.
Ruid felt a little burdened, but explained it calmly.
As Ella’s magical achievements increase, the person who becomes more comfortable is the professor with a good assistant.
“Let’s take a baguette as an example.”
“You mean what Ruid always eats?”
“…cancellation. “Let’s use bread as an example.”
“yes.”
“Just as bread can be cut in various ways, it is possible to cut space and time in various ways.”
“Space-time is a piece of bread…”
‘Don’t write such strange things.’
Ruid suddenly opened his eyes.
He sighed and explained. Even if it looks like that, you’re probably trying to understand it properly.
“We’re going to cut the bread into three pieces. “I’ll name one as past, one as present, and one as future.”
“I cut the bread into three pieces, but they are all on the same line, right? “The past, present, and future exist as the same reality.”
“Let me add one more situation here. There was mold on the corner of the bread called reality. We want to remove this mold and fill it with clean bread. “So, what should I do?”
Ella said with blank eyes.
“If the present slice of bread is stale, the future slice of bread will also be stale. Then… I have no choice but to move on from the past.”
“that’s right. After all, Ella is smart. “If you exchange a clean piece of bread from the past with a piece of rotten bread from the present, the current piece of bread becomes a new piece of bread.”
“Well, is that possible? “That’s it.”
Ella swallowed dry saliva.
“It’s God’s domain.”
“I thought it wouldn’t work either. It was possible. Did I say this earlier? The past, present and future are the same. That means that it is possible to swallow a part of the ‘past’ into ‘subspace’ in the ‘present’.”
This was not a memory of ‘Lazy Ruid’ or a research result he came up with on his own.
borrowed modern knowledge. To be exact, Einstein’s theory of relativity.
…I didn’t know that the scientific knowledge I looked at every day because of my insomnia would help me in this way.
“If we put this into reality.”
Of course, Einstein’s theory cannot be considered accurate. Anyway, this is just a theory.
Moreover, you cannot say that your knowledge based on a brief look at science YouTube is accurate.
But [magic] is different.
If you have a strong belief that there are no ‘flaws’ in your logic, the almighty energy called magical power will fill in any existing flaws.
Ruid was the person with the most energy in the world.
There may be some errors, but as long as the direction is right, it will definitely come true.
“First, we will swallow ‘Sophia from an hour ago’ that exists in ‘reality’ into subspace.”
Magical power emanated from Ruid’s blue eyes.
Kwagagagak!
The people in this space could barely withstand the powerful magic of Ruid that exploded like a waterfall, covering their faces.
If it weren’t for Ruid’s consideration, he would not have been exposed to excessive magical power and would not have been safe.
“Now, we will swap the healthy ‘Sophia from an hour ago’ with the ‘dead Sophia’ that exists in the present.”
In other words, it does not simply turn back the time for the Sophia in front – it
swaps the Sophia that was in a certain place an hour ago with the dead Sophia in front.
This was such magic.
Ruid stretched out his hand toward Sophia’s body.
“The fifth magic.”
Ruid’s magic flowed into the sky.
He clenched his fists.
“diagram.”
After a moment of silence,
the blue magical energy that had flowed into the sky struck Sophia’s body.
