Volume 1
Interlude
Translator : PolterGlast
A figure wearing a
black hood moved through the silent night forest.
The figure had just
emerged from Bennett Lohr's room.
Having been expelled
from school, Bennet's room is to be vacated in three days. Before then, Jin
Kirihara was bound to pay a visit to Bennett's room. Jin probably believed he
would still be able to obtain useful information although the odds were almost
nil. Therefore, he would surely come searching for it.
Hence, the person in
the black hood has prepared a present for him.
A piece of paper with
just one sentence on it, [Nice to meet you].
That alone should be
enough for Jin to understand. The black hooded figure knew what Jin was really
after, and she knew everything about him. Even after being aware of this, she
was still merciful enough to play along with his silly game.
To begin with, the
hooded figure felt something strange about Jin's actions.
It was foolish of him
to target the group exempted from the entrance exam first in the race for
survival at the Heiberg Academy. Furthermore, in the battle against Bennett,
Jin only gained 53 points in the end.
There were plenty of
easier opponents for him to win against, whether it was to gain a large number
of points or to gain a solid reputation.
Such a hasty move did
not match the impression he had left when she first met Jin.
It was clear that he
had some other objective in mind.
For example, it was to
find the <Shepherd's Dogs> that were supposed to be lurking in each
grade.
If he acted in a grand
maneuver involving that many students, everyone would recognize that [Jin
Kirihara is actively trying to destroy the group exempted from the entrance
examinations]. Once it was obvious that Bennett was a fake one, Jin steered the
course to stand out anyway.
As soon as the
possibility arose that Jin's fangs could reach <Shepherd's Dogs>, they
would have no choice but to approach Jin. To determine whether he was really a
dangerous person who needed to be purged. To see how much information he knows.
In other words, Jin would
be able to suspect everyone who approached him from henceforth. A game of
deception is about to begin, in which both sides will be able to probe each
other's gut without revealing their true faces, and this will be full of
malicious deceit.
If this guess is
correct, it can be assumed that he is a great schemer.
The hooded figure
sensed something unfathomable about Jin, including his ability to nullify
psychic abilities. At least for now, she couldn't simply brush off these
speculations as overthinking.
"......
Interesting."
She found her voice
leaking out.
In the darkness, where
she couldn't see a millimeter ahead, she didn't have to worry about anyone
overhearing her. So there would be no problem if she took off this hood and
mask.
"Deception so happens
to be my specialty."
The pale moonlight
shone through a gap in the trees.
Her orange hair and
dark green eyes were briefly revealed and soon melted away into the darkness.
She laughed deep in
her throat as she sucked on a stick of candy she had taken out of her pocket.
