When she was done telling about the reason she was doing all this and going out of her way to warn , then she ca to the main topic which was the plan Seiren and Emric had devised to use against .
She went into detail and told everything they'd planned. To sum it up, their plan was for the girls to follow while keeping my presence hidden and when I find a hidden task item, they'd either use that chance if I'm in an isolated area to ambush there or they would try to steal my item and lure into such area. AFter that Emric will co and kill , according to the plan.
This helped greatly. I still doubted the credibility of the information she'd given but I decided to make my counter plan around it. Which turned out to be a good decision in the end.
Since I knew about Seiren and Emric's plan it was easy to counter it. When the exam started, I entered the forest and only after walking a few ters the girls were following .
They were bad and careless at concealing their pesence and I was able to sense them behind quite easily. But even if I wasn't able to detect then Req would've done that to . Their carelessness also showed in the fact that the whole ti they weren't' aware of Nsiria who was also following them.
After that all I had to do was make it seem like they were tailing successfully and I was not aware about them. I went into the cave since it was a good place to take them down and since it was an isolated place, it would help to lure them in the trap too since they would think that I'd trapped myself by coming here.
I rember the ti when I ripped off Winston's arms, that ti I'd only used the ice elent to attack him, thus it's only reasonable that Emric also saw that aspect of my magic only.
I had not t him since then and there's no way he would've known about my powers any other way. As I've never shown them publicity or to the academy. This was one of the benefits I get for blending in the background and keeping a low profile.
Everyone in the academy thinks I'm just a normal nobody and no one knows what I'm truly capable of.
When I entered the cave I made sure that everything looks like it's going all according to their plan. That way they'll let their guard down and I'll attack when the mont is right.
And the mont did co, and everything do go according to the plan. Not their plan, of course.

"Sothing still doesn't seem right," Seiren said. "You say this bitch told you about our plan, but how does she knows about it? We've never involved her. Even if she knew that we were plotting sothing against you, she shouldn't know the details."
"Well, I'm curious about this myself," Zero agreed. "I was aning to ask you three about it. How in the bloody hell did you managed to get your plan leaked when there were only fucking five of them?!" he ant it in a mocking sense of way, but no one asked.
"Isn't it about ti you stop acting?" Nsiria said. Her eyes were toward the three girls.
Everyone present there knew what it ant. They had a traitor among them, and it was soone in the three girls.
"You are right. It's about ti I was getting tired of this too," a girl among the three said as she stepped forward.
"You?" Seiren said. It wouldn't be wrong to say that she was taken aback by this. Anyone would feel the sa way if betrayed by their friends.
"I can't say I didn't see this coming. You were acting differently for a while now," Wrena added her opinion.
"What the hell are you two on about? You don't really think like we're friends or sothing, do you? Rember the reason why we three got together? It was so we can take down Ellyn in order to win Leon, but there were three of us and one Leon so we'd decided to compete once Ellyn was taken care of.
"We were acting together just on a temporary basis. So are a fool if you thought we were friends or comrades or whatever," Alada said as she slowly walked close to Zero and stood beside him, opposite to Nsiria.
"She's the one who told about their plan, and gave the idea to leak it to you," Nsiria explained to Zero.
"Why?" Seiren asked.
By this ti, she was clenching her fists tightly and her expression was a mix of anger and sadness. Her eyes were widened too and it looked like she would cry, except their were no tears.
"Why, you say? It's simple. Because I have nothing to gain by staying at your side anymore. My goal was to get Leon and that still hasn't changed. However I can't do that with no now."
Alada looked at Zero. "He is more powerful than you, more smarter. I could tell that when we had the encounter on the rooftop. Right now, he is the easiest way to get to Leon. I just understood that," she said.
"Why do you think he would let you do that, huh? He's already acquainted with Ellyn; Leon's girlfriend. Why would he go out of his way to sour his relationship with her for you?" Seiren asked, her tone was harsh.
"See? That's why you're an idiot, and I left you're side. You can't see that he is not 'acquainted' with her. He is just manipulating her for his own good," Alada stated.
"Wha…."" Seiren was at a loss of words. She'd never thought about it like this.
There was a mont of quiet as Seiren did nothing but stand there, looking down while clenching her hands and gritting her teeth.
"So…now what? Will you kill him?" she asked, at last. Her words carried a certain weight which told she was serious about it.
"There's—"
"I'm not talking to you!" she scread, stopping Alada mid-way and looking straight into Zero's eyes.
"I'd like to know that as well. Is this where I die?" Wrena appealed.
Zero didn't reply rather walked slowly walked toward them. Taking one step at a ti, he walked close to the two girls and stood in the gap between them.
"Do you two want to die?" he asked.
"Not now," Wrena said.
"….No," Seiren replied too.
"Okay," Zero said.
There was a gust of wind as Zero moved both his arms and hit both the girls behind their neck. The chop was hard, and before the two of them could realize their feet stumbled and they fell to the ground as they lost concussions.
"Did you kill them?" Alada asked.
"You just called her an idiot, and this is what you ask," Zero mumbled as he walked toward them.
"So, what's the deal with you two?" he appealed.
"I just wanted to interrupt her plans, though seeing her fall on the ground makes it even more worthwhile. For now, I'm done so I'll just head back and complete the exam I guess," Nsiria said.
"I don't need to tell you, do I?"
"Yeah. I won't tell anyone you. In fact, after seeing what you did I wouldn't dare to tell anyone about you," she repiled, looking at Emric's corpse.
"Good. And you?" he turned to Alada.
"I've said this before too. I want to work with you so that I can achieve my goal. Of course, I will be helping you with whatever you want too," she said.
"You want to to make you my partner when you've just betrayed your previous ones right in front of my eyes? Hmm, sounds reasonable."
"I wouldn't do that to you."
"I'm sure she thought the sa thing. 'She wouldn't betray ',"
"Tch! So what should I do to make you believe ?"
"Try and dodge this."
"Huh?"
Zero moved with high intensity and was behind the remaining two girls in no ti. She hit them behind their neck too and just like Seiren and Wrena, they stumbled into unconsciousness as well.
[Why did you even bother asking when you'd already decided to put everyone to sleep?] Req's voice asked in Zero's head.
'Just for the fun of it. Plus, these two had helped out, they deserved a few words at least.'
