Skretil's Ignorance Walker

The silent night seemed extraordinarily dark, just like someone's heart, as if everything was lost.

After the guards in the town learned about the situation, they sent a team to take Kathleen and Vera back to the academy. As for the injured Fedor and Yingge, the guards carried them back to the academy on stretchers.

Walking on the road, there was not even a sound of insects around, only the footsteps of people kept sounding, making Kathleen's already unhappy mood even more depressed.

"That...that, thank you for saving me."

Maybe she felt a little embarrassed because of the silence along the way, or maybe she was just plain bored. In short, after hesitating for a while, Kathleen took the initiative to talk to Vera.

"Huh? Ah...it's okay, it should be. After all, you are a princess, right?"

Vera also didn’t expect Kathleen to be so forthright at this time, and she didn’t know what to say for a moment.

"What will happen when we go back?"

"This... punishment should be impossible to escape..."

Facing Kathleen's question, Vera touched her head and said hesitantly. When she thought about being punished by the academy after returning, Vera became a little depressed.

"Haha...yeah, I can't escape this time..."

Katherine said with a half-smile. Vera seemed to feel that she could see the destruction of the world in Katherine's eyes, and see the godlessness and silence that only people who have experienced death would have.

"Speaking of which, why did you climb over the wall and leave the academy at night?"

Vera felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere at this time, so she quickly changed the topic, hoping to distract Kathleen.

"..."

But Kathleen did not answer Vera. She remained silent, lowering her head and not knowing what she was thinking.

"Uh... Your Highness Princess?"

"...No, nothing else, just because I simply wanted to run out and play."

"what?"

Hearing Kathleen's answer, Vera was a little surprised. For this reason, she led people to escape from the college over the wall, and even put herself in danger.

"Stupid, right?"

Perhaps seeing Vera's surprise, Kathleen said mockingly.

Seeing that Kathleen no longer looked as domineering as she had seen before, Vera was also a little at a loss.

"I just don't understand something. You can obviously go out and play openly after school, and you have plenty of time during the eight o'clock access control time. Why do you have to secretly climb over the wall to go out and play?"

Vera did not directly answer Kathleen's words, but asked the other party. She could also feel that Kathleen was in a very low mood now. After all, they had no grievances. Let him let go of the small conflicts in the past. .

After listening to Vera's words, Kathleen raised her head to look at Vera, and then looked up at the night sky. The moonlight was very dim tonight, and even the stars seemed to have decreased a lot.

"After all, I am a princess of a country, so every move I make is watched by people. Not to mention that my father doesn't let me go out casually. Even if he can't control me in the academy, every time I go out there is a big crowd. There were so many people following me, which made me feel very unfree.”

After saying that, Kathleen turned to look at Fedor and Yingge who were on the stretcher.

"So I wanted to wait until there was no one around, go out with them to have fun, and see what it looked like outside at night. For this reason, I also asked Fedor to help me scout the terrain here in advance, so that I could We can play easily..."

At this time, Kathleen sighed slightly, like an old and arrogant grandmother. She looked at Vera again and said slowly:

"It's just that the facts have proven that these ideas of mine are very stupid. If it weren't for you today, both of them would have died violently, and I don't know what their end would be."

"..."

After listening to Kathleen's words, Vera was silent for a moment. After a while, she looked at Kathleen hesitantly.

"If you don't mind, I can hang out with you next time."

"Eh?"

"Think about it, as long as I am here, ordinary people will never be able to hurt you, and I am different from those people. I will not flatter you all the time, and you don't need to pretend in front of me. You can show your best expression at will. The real thing.”

Katherine didn't speak, she just kept looking straight at Vera, who was a little embarrassed by her stare. And when Vera turned away, Kathleen spoke again.

"In that case, I'll leave it to you next time!"

"Um...oh, no problem."

Seeing that Kathleen seemed to be in a better mood, Vera also smiled, as if the danger just now did not exist. Under the escort of the guards, the two of them, plus the other two people who were carried back, arrived at the academy safely.

As for what kind of punishment awaits them in the future, this is a matter of the future.

Going back in time, when the guards had just discovered Katherine and the others, on the other side of the town, on a deserted street, a middle-aged man with his upper body naked ran into an inconspicuous side street. , and then entered a store.

When he entered, a figure appeared in the shadows. She was wearing the uniform of the Magic Academy and was quietly coming to the window sill, trying to eavesdrop on the sounds inside.

If Fafuwei, Vera and the others were there, they would definitely recognize this person as Sheryl who came out with Vera. She had been observing secretly, and after the gangster leader escaped, she quietly followed him, because she felt that the attack was not as simple as an impromptu attack by a group of gangsters.

First of all, the combat literacy and discipline of this group of people are obviously different from ordinary gangsters. Moreover, the middle-aged man as the leader actually has the strength of a C-level adventurer. He also has several people who can use magic. Generally speaking, How can a gangster have such a configuration?

Moreover, Sheryl also noticed that this group of people had said that besides Kathleen, Fedor and Yingge could be killed. If it was really a temporary act of gangsters, then at least they would leave Ying Ge behind, right? But their target seemed to be Kathleen alone, which gave Sheryl some bad premonitions.

"What? You actually failed. Are you a loser?"

There was a roar from inside the house. Sheryl had not heard this sound and did not know who was inside.

"I'm sorry, Master Habo. I was almost successful, but suddenly a student with the strength of a B-level adventurer appeared. I am no match for her. Even my subordinates are basically defeated. How can I It’s easy to escape from death and come back.”

"B-level? Are you kidding? How can a student have the strength of a B-level adventurer?"

"It's true, sir. Not only that, she is also a chosen one, but I don't know which god's blessing it is."

Sheryl had been recording these conversations outside the house, thinking it might be useful in the future, and at this moment, Sheryl suddenly heard a sound of footsteps.

After quickly hiding, Sherrill secretly observed in the shadows of the building and saw several figures coming here. She knocked on the door and entered the shop. And Sherrill discovered that when one of them knocked on the door, a tattoo mark on his wrist looked very familiar.

A pitch-black sword was surrounded by a ring, and there were some decorations around the ring. Sheryl had the impression that this mark was the symbol of the "Sword of Shadows", and only high-ranking figures among it would have it. None of Sherrill's family received this mark.

After confirming again that she was not exposed, Sheryl worked harder to eliminate her aura. She came to the window again, wanting to continue to eavesdrop on the conversation inside.

"Trash, the organization has trained you for so long, and you finally seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and you actually screwed it up for me?!"

"Sir... please forgive me, I have really tried my best, but the other party has the strength of a B-level adventurer... ah... ahhhh!"

The gangster leader's voice ended abruptly with a scream, and then Sherrill heard the sound of something falling to the ground, and then it became quiet inside.
