Chapter 80: The Murderer
"Lokishi Migrudia...do you know what this means?"
Looking at the distraught girl in front of him, Genius was at a loss for words. Although the office was quiet, the school was in an uproar.
Almost everyone knows that Loki Migludia killed someone.
She killed Alexius, a challenger from the Holy Land of Swords, and the apprentice of the Sword God Gar.
Even if it's for the school's honor, murder is something that students will find hard to accept no matter what.
Even Luo Qixi herself couldn't accept it... She sat in the chair, pale-faced, her legs weak as she leaned against her staff.
I...I killed someone...I actually killed someone again...
When Luo Qixi was young, when she had just left her hometown, she had killed someone out of anger... At that time, she thought that human life was nothing, just raindrops falling from the sky, and nothing would be left after the sun rose.
But having witnessed true death on the Demon Continent and understood its meaning, she stopped killing people voluntarily... Yet now she herself has... killed someone again.
I killed Alexius... Even though he was annoying and had a foul mouth, I shouldn't have killed him no matter what.
Yes, it was Loki who killed him.
Loki was certain... that after using the advanced wind magic "Sudden Wind," she used the blood magic her teacher had taught her.
Just like when she used blood magic to trap Alexius's wooden sword, Loki created a thin bloodline between herself and Alexius. She planned to use this bloodline to block Alexius and then immediately counterattack...
But... but that line of blood took Alexius's life... When he drew the Blade of Light, his entire body lunged forward at high speed, and his fragile neck struck that line of blood.
Even with the protection of battle aura, the bloodline that Loki had congealed was not so easily broken through... and so... the scene on the lawn unfolded.
The thought of Alexius's head... made Loki instinctively feel fear.
Alexius must have family and friends too... Even though I hate him, what about his family and friends?
They certainly didn't want to see him die... but they killed him... killed someone who shouldn't have died...
"Ugh..." Loki felt a wave of nausea. She thought of her former friend Hakendiru, the captain of the first adventurer party she joined... He dreamed of becoming the greatest adventurer, but died after a magical disaster.
His death led to the disbandment of the squad and made Loki understand the meaning of death... His death changed his world... Then... what about Alexios?
What about his death?
he……
Luo Qixi subconsciously shed tears.
"Miss Migludia!" Genus's voice suddenly rang out, startling her awake. She looked up at the stern vice-principal, instinctively wanting to explain something.
I didn't mean to... I didn't want to kill...
But before he could say these words, Genus slowly said, "This is not just a simple matter of killing one person."
His expression was extremely grave: "Do you know who his master is?"
"It's...it's the Sword God Gar Farion." Loki answered the question almost instinctively.
"Yes." Genus took a deep breath. "He represents the Holy Land of Swords in the Magic Kingdom."
"Killing him will undoubtedly incur the displeasure of the rulers of the three kingdoms." Genas's expression was extremely ugly. He looked at Loki with a slightly complicated expression: "You killed someone you shouldn't have killed."
"This is no ordinary matter... Soon, the King... and the Grand Dukes will know about it."
"And the Holy Land of Swords will also know about this." Genus rubbed his eyes painfully. "This is definitely not... definitely not something that can be solved with an apology."
"Then...I..." Luo Qixi panicked. She hadn't thought about this before, or rather, because of the fear and disgust of killing someone, she hadn't had time to think about it.
Yes, what if the Sword God Gar came? What if the rulers of the Three Kingdoms... brought down punishment...?
I'm just a student... and... and even if it were a teacher, it wouldn't be possible... I couldn't possibly be a match for the Sword God, he's one of the seven great powers... and I can't let my teacher die because of my mistake...
"Teacher...no...we can't let the teacher know..."
Seeing Luo Qixi's bewildered state and listening to her murmurs... Genus pursed his lips.
He really didn't know what to do.
If it were an ordinary student, this matter would be easily resolved... simply hand over the student.
But... she's Principal Sylvania's student... Genus knows the principal's personality fairly well... at least for this student, the principal's fondness for her is undeniable.
She would never allow the handover of her students... nor would she ever compromise with the Sword God.
Lanoa Magic University will be destroyed...
The most important thing about this matter is that the principal must not find out.
But how could that be possible? It's a pipe dream to try and hide something that the whole school knows from the principal.
unless……
Looking at the panicked girl in front of him, Genius pursed his lips, his feelings were somewhat complicated, but after thinking it over, he became slightly more resolute.
"Miss Migludia... things have come to this point, my advice is that you go to the capital of the Kingdom of Lanoa immediately," he said slowly. "Only surrender yourself before your teacher finds out."
"Only then can all unrest be minimized."
Genus certainly didn't want to do this; forcing a child was such a cruel thing... but he felt he had to, otherwise... when the Sword God Gar arrived...
Only if they dare to let her leave Lanoa Magic University before Cinderella finds out about this... can the school be saved. As for Principal Sylvania... Genus took a deep breath.
All I can do is pray that she only saw Miss Migludia as a toy, and that although losing her is painful, it's something I can still console her about...
And at least this way the school won't be in danger of disaster...
"Confess...confess?" The two heavy words weighed on Luo Qixi, making her breathing even more rapid.
Yes... I'm a murderer... If I turn myself in... that's definitely the right thing to do... And if I turn myself in, like Vice Principal Genius said... the teachers won't know...
And then... this crisis won't affect the teacher... the Sword God won't cause trouble... it's just me... myself.
One should be punished for doing something wrong, especially for something as serious as murder.
So Loki pursed her lips, wiped away her tears, and looked at Genas, saying, "Vice Principal Genas... could you arrange a carriage to the capital of Lanoa right now?"
"I'll go right away..."
"What's the rush?" A cold voice came from behind. The silver-haired girl stepped into the room, her red eyes sweeping coldly over Genus and Loki.
Then she said with a hint of sarcasm, "Why don't we wait until tonight and go to the capital of Lanoa together?"
