A Death Row Convict Teaches at a School of Magic Chapter 71: 『Gecko』 Olene

Right after opening the door, a solid pressure was pressed against my temple.

When my eyes shifted to the side, a sharp-eyed female was aiming a revolver at impassively.

I comnd you for advancing this far, but perhaps one more step is needed for you.

Bringing my line of sight back to the front, I found a petite girl sitting cross-legged in a chair. She was Cannibal rchant that I t yesterday, Sasha Croizet.

Her picturesque defenselessness almost drew an unwittingly chuckle from .

You are quite relaxed, arent you?

You are dood, so that is only natural.

Do you expect a toy like this can kill ?

Sasha lifted her cup and sipped her tea.

I am aware that certain magic protects you from dying. However, have you not noticed? No magic of any kind is permitted in this space.

Heh.

I gave it a try to deploy Chakrath, only to learn that I couldnt even generate magical power, let alone conjure up any magic.

This place was apparently equipped with a stone that was incomparably more potent than the one used in Hansas store yesterday.

Have you grasped it? By the way, the girl next to is Olene. This girl is also in the S-rate class, so I doubt that you would be able to overco her in a situation like this.

This woman, Cannibal rchant, was not undervalued by . Being in the A-rate class suggested that she was highly competent notwithstanding her poor strength. Even her bodyguards were nurous and well-rounded.

For her to be this composed before my eyes right now, the situation I was in must have been extrely dire.

I held up my hands in resignation while shrugging my shoulders.

So, what do you want from ?

Eh?

You dont have to be so flirtatious. Unless I could be of usage to you, you would have shot dead the mont I walked into this room. Is there a question you want to ask ?

Her eyes dilated once as she peered into mine.

While my expression remained unaltered, she eventually began to formulate a response.

First of all, how did you reach here?

I was ready to say, On foot, but refrained from doing so.

By wriggling the limbs of the flies that were buzzing around .

Seemingly unperturbed, she proceeded to pose her next question.

The second question. Do you know where Felt is headed now?

I am assuming that she is on her way to this room in a panic right now. Because I have already destroyed what you were after.

This ti, the other party exhibited a touch of astonishnt.

Did you have any insight into what we were planning to do?

No. However, considering Viper is your employee, I figured that you would seek to eliminate as many disgruntled elents to the maximum extent practicable, so I expected that you would pull so kind of maneuver.

It was genuinely unanticipated that they would take action so rapidly. Thanks to that, I was compelled to execute my plan with less than 30% of the whole prepared.

Hmm. Well, I will ask Felt when she cos back for further information about it. Finally, I would like to hear about that extraordinary magic crystal stone you are selling.

Huh?

I was frankly taken aback. No way, did Hansa succumb to torture and divulge about that?

After further thought, I was reminded of the fact that I had used it myself yesterday against Felt. In that case, they would have realized it.

Do you have any data on how it was made?

In my head.

Once more, she drank her tea. She seed to be racking her brain.

Olene, is there any magic that enables one to peek inside a dead persons head?

There isnt, but I believe there must be soone who possesses magic that can take control of a corpse and understand all of the corpses mories before death. She goes by the title Art of the Corpse Princess, if I rember correctly.

Hang on a minute.

I seem to recall that person used to be in this city, is that right?

Yes. But I suppose she is presently being imprisoned in a prison in the royal capital.

Well then, I guess I should go and ask that her.

She was easygoing, as though she were setting the nu for the evening.

So I guess we are done now that I have asked all the questions I wanted to ask.

Um, do you have any more information to ask about that might help hold on to my life?

Idiot. You were destined to die the mont you declined Felts offer.

Bang.

The next thing I knew, the sound of sothing crashing in my ear brought to the realization that I had collapsed.

All right, Olene. Since the corpse is going to be put to use later, lets just salt it and put it in our magical tool of storage, shall we?

Lady Sasha. Please step back.

Tsk, she has noticed.

The woman called Olene promptly pulled the trigger twice toward , who sprang up to leap the following instant.

Gah!?

A brief scream was uttered by . Each of the bullets she fired penetrated both of my eyes. Heated by the gunpowder, the bullets pierced through my eye sockets, lting my eyeballs and inflicting excruciating tornt on my brain.

Temporarily deprived of vision, another shot was fired. The next shot struck in the thigh, followed by a succession of gunshots when my movents were halted, all of which were aid at my head, and the bullets perforated my cheeks and ripped through my soft palate. My expression nearly broke into an inadvertent strain of laughter at the relentless shooting, but when I was about to laugh, my entire lower jaw was blasted off.

Over a dozen seconds of barbaric gunfire ensued, the sound of an out-of-bullet gun falling to the floor was heard, and finally both of my eyes regenerated, revealing to the first sight I saw: Olene, wielding a knife listlessly.

My eyesight whirled around with a flash to the side and I collided with the wall eventually before catching a distant view of my body, which was now missing from the neck up. It happened so fast, so swift.

But that was it.

Goh!?

Olene was completely powerless to evade the fist that had suddenly swung at her body, which she was certain had stopped moving altogether after my head had been torn off.

My vision went black as the thrusting fist pushed in even more, slamming Olene against the wall, but soon my head began to regenerate, returning my vision to its forr state.

With Olene struggling to rise to her feet while bending her body in agony, I swiftly pulled out my gun and continuously pulled the trigger.

She showed a reaction until about the third shot, but after that, all she did was tremble convulsively with each shot, and by the ti I ran out of ammunition, her movent had already subsided.

Being cautious, I approached her and kicked her in the head to examine her face, but her nasal bones were shattered, her nose was crooked, and I could tell from her dilated pupils that she was already a dead woman.

If feasible, I wanted to capture her alive, but it was not practical to do so without magic. Fortunately, there was one more person here, so I decided to bear with it

So, to Cannibal rchant who was seating on a chair watching, no, helpless to move, I presented her a smile of reassurance.

Now then, this isnt the right place, so lets change places a bit.
