Chapter 29: Evidence
Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy
The young man was probably a fourth year or fifth year since he has already grasped the intermediate realm of the Ghost Hand Spell!
They wanted to immediately apologize and even offer the young girl they were about to partake.
However, before Gower and Davy could speak, they saw the illusory hands cover their entire face… They were grabbed so quickly and even failed to use their other spell.
They were too nervous about the fact that their Ghost Hands had suddenly vanished!
Crush! Crush!
"F*ck! That was so strong?!" This time, it was Kyle who was surprised as soon as blood splattered everywhere.
That's right, the two Ghost Hands that were summoned by him crushed the heads of the two third-year students like watermelons! Kyle failed to control their strength!
He was planning to do the same thing they did to Denise and drag them by their heads… Well, since they have very short hair, dragging them by hair is not possible so he can only think of grabbing their heads.
He was only trying to scare them and buy some time until Mr. Heinz arrived… Unfortunately, it didn't work as he planned.
'Not good…' Kyle knows that he messed up. He didn't plan to kill them with his Ghost Hands. He finally becomes a criminal.
He glanced at the corpses again and to his surprise, he only felt some discomfort after seeing the splattered flesh and brain matter… He would certainly not feel like this if it was in his previous life.
It appears that the Darkness Possession had changed something in him.
At this time, he heard the words of the two students who had luckily remained behind the two so they weren't targeted by the Ghost Hands.
"Y-you killed them?"
"That's Gower! He's from the Pucelle Family!"
Kyle had never heard of Gower and his family. Nevertheless, he didn't show any reaction to their words as he tried to remain mysterious. In any case, it was already dusk so they weren't able to properly recognize him.
"Why did you drag that girl?" Kyle asked ignoring the matter about the Pucelle Family.
He needed to drag their conversation since his Phantasm State has already ended. Since the two were obviously unaware of that, Kyle felt a bit confident bluffing them.
"She… She's Cressida's younger sister." One of them answered.
"Mhmm?" Kyle knitted his brows as he had no idea about Denise's background.
Luckily, they didn't wait for Kyle to ask and the two immediately blurted out whatever they know.
"I'm Lear! I'm one of those students humiliated by Cressida two years ago! Senior, you should know what happened at that time. She's a mere commoner but she dared to think of going against a Professor and many other noble families."
"That's right! We're just here to humiliate her sister now that she's gone… We're not even planning to kill her… I'm Bassette Gough! I swear on my family name!"
Kyle frowned at this as he looked at Denise.
She has already fainted and needed some medical treatment.
As for the two, he wasn't sure how to deal with them. If they suddenly attacked, he would be completely vulnerable.
'Wait… They also have cooldowns with their Phantasm State. Perhaps they're also trying to buy time?' Kyle finally felt that staying with them will be dangerous. They might be waiting for an opportunity.
"You're taking revenge on that poor girl because you can't deal with her sister? Is that it?" Kyle asked as he looked at the two with contempt.
He needs to maintain the dominance he had shown earlier.
"O-of course not… Cressida had just disappeared so we can't take revenge on her." Lear replied as he tried to appear unafraid of Cressida. However, Kyle can tell from his reaction that he was indeed weaker than Cressida.
"I think that all of you have gone too far with your actions. I will report the both of you to the headmaster." Kyle said as he tried to act unaffected.
'You're the one who had gone too far!'
In Lear's mind, he indeed wanted to get this matter handled by the headmaster since two of his friends had died!
'Let's see who would be punished…' Lear was already gloating as he knows the headmaster's attitude in these types of cases. He can already imagine how furious the headmaster would be once he learned that Gower died!
Gower may have a terrible personality but that is just a normal side effect of learning a few Dark Spells that can affect someone's mind.
Speaking of which, it was a pity that they underestimated their opponent and only used Ghost Hands just now. They wouldn't normally use this technique if they know that they were dealing with another Spellcaster.
If they didn't think that the person who followed them was a laborer, they wouldn't have been helpless against those Ghost Hands.
"F-fine… Let's report this to the headmaster." Bassette has similar thoughts to Lear as they looked at each other with confidence.
They may be reprimanded for injuring the commoner girl but the one who had killed Gower and Davy would surely be punished.
"Mhmm? What a strong scent of blood… I could smell it from the workshop."
As Kyle was planning to continue with their conversation, he suddenly heard Mr. Heinz's voice from behind him!
He immediately looked behind him and confirmed that his master has arrived.
"Master Heinz!" Kyle called out.
Heinz seem to be in a hurry to get here as he didn't even have the time to put down the paper bag in his hands. He looked at Kyle disappointedly before looking at the group of students behind.
"S-sir Heinz! That senior killed Gower and Davy! We have to report him to the Headmaster so he can receive his punishment!" Lear immediately said as he also recognizes Heinz.
"R-right! We witnessed everything!" Bassette added in a hurry.
They expected Heinz to be filled with anger after hearing that someone was killed.
However, to their surprise, Heinz remained calm and even looked at them with disdain.
"Senior?" Heinz repeated as he looked at Kyle.
The latter awkwardly smiled as he was helpless about this. He didn't correct the two since he didn't want to reveal his identity either.
Anyway, Kyle was expecting to be scolded and was prepared to explain his side. He already formulated his words in his mind. However, Heinz's next words stunned him…
"Next time, if you're going to eliminate your enemies, make sure you do it properly and not leave any evidence behind."
