The assassin pierced Silvia's skull with his sword and hauled her up by her hair toward himself.
"I'm going to kill you, Bastard!" Ares scread angrily as he witnessed this, and soon his entire body began to exude electricity, emitting a frightening Aura.
When the assassin saw Ares's look, a wide eager grin erupted on his face.
"How unsightly, I wouldn't talk as much as so fool protagonist and would have killed him long ago."
"Huh?" The assassin, who had been beaming for a while, abruptly changed his expression when he heard a voice from behind him.
"I can't really imagine you acting that way as well," Irethiel added.
"W-What? Was I wrong to think you'd react that way if soone killed in front of you?" Silvia expressed her unhappiness.
"I wouldn't let anyone touch you while I'm still close to you, so the circumstance you've implented is inaccurate," Ares clarified to Silvia.
"O-Oh, I see," Silvia's face lit up with delight when she heard Ares's response.
Soon after, Silvia's head, which the assassin was holding, turned into bats and vanished, as did Ares, who was clutching Silvia's decapitated body.
The entire scene instantly reversed, including blood, and just a single bat could be seen, which quickly approached Silvia and sat on her index finger.
Assassin, perplexed by the abrupt change in events, focused his attention on the talk he'd heard while sweating profusely from his forehead.
Gulp*
As soon as he turned his head, he felt three murderous glares from a boy, a girl, and...a crow?
They were staring at him with evil grins on their faces as if they were looking at a dead man.
"Irethiel!" Ares spoke out.
Knowing what to do, Irethiel flapped her wings and flew at the assassin in an instant, and as she approached him, she transford into her actual form and used her skill 'Energy Absorption.'
Even before the assassin could erge out of his trance and react, his energy was steadily draining and his body was darkening.
Ahhhhhh! —
He shouted in anguish until his voice abruptly ceased as he died being all of his energy drained.
"My, that's a scary skill!" Silvia comnted upon seeing the assassin's drained and blackened corpse.
"Huh? What exactly do you an by scary? Isn't this the sa as your vampire's blood drain ability?" Irethiel retorted.
Irethiel and Silvia began bickering after that, but I disregarded them since I was thinking about sothing else,
As the assassin did not appear to be from the Shadows organization, I believe there was sothing wrong with this entire assassination plot.
Because the Shadows organization will always move in groups to avoid failure.
'Does the fact that only one assassin has appeared for now, imply that there is soone else out there who wants my life as well? Or did my brother perhaps hire soone else?'
"...."
I stopped thinking after a few monts since I couldn't think of anyone else who would co for my life right now.

I exited my thoughts and proceeded to the warp gate with Silvia and Irethiel in a limousine that Silvia had arranged.
After a few hours of travel, we arrived at the warp gate port, and Silvia had her thirst quenched in the anti.
I hugged Silvia goodbye for a few monts before proceeding toward the warp gate, while Irethiel in her crow form perched on my shoulder.
We didn't have to wait long because Silvia had already arranged everything.
'She was a huge help during my stay in the Kingdom of Detria, and I am hoping to see her again soti soon.'
I thought to myself as I crossed the warp gate, casting one last glance at Silvia, who was waving her hand with a sad smile.

I arrived at the floating Island dock, which was not far from the academy in a matter of seconds.
And after a few minutes of walking, I arrived at the Academy; I'm not sure why, but it felt like a long ti since I was here, despite the fact that I had only been gone for a few days.
"Is this where you'll be staying?" Irethiel questioned curiously.
"Yeah, Welco to Soreh Academy, as you will be staying with here from now on," I stated while looking at the academy.
"...."
Irethiel remained silent after hearing my statent.
The sun had already set, so I went straight to my dormitory room to relax for the day, as I hadn't gotten any rest all day due to so much drama.
"Irethiel," I muttered as I entered my dorm room,
"You can rest anywhere you want today; I'll get you a bird cage tomorrow," I teased Irethiel, then proceeded to refresh up, ignoring Irethiel's grimace.
"..."
Irethiel was taken aback by my statent.
"Are you serious right now?" Irethiel yelled.
"Huh? "Why would I lie to you about such things?" I stated.
"Y-You! I may be in crow form, but I am not a crow that can be confined in a cage, I was once a great Archdemon," Irethiel expressed her displeasure loudly.
"So you want to share a bed with ? I was always aware that succubus were horny demons." I said, laughing inwardly as I saw Irethiel's deford face.
"I'm not a succubus, you understand!" Irethiel cried out.
"Is that true? So, why do you appear so horny? However, since I am your master, I will let you have your way with my body for the day." I said it in a helpless tone.
"...."
"Y-You pervert, what are you saying?" Irethiel exclaid, her cheeks reddened.
"I-I may be your slave, but you're not going to get your way with ," Irethiel stated.
Ding!
"...."
I was about to react to Irethiels statent, but then I heard a system notification sound, so I remained silent for the ti being, stopped teasing her, and proceeded to check the notification that had just appeared.
*** SYSTEM NOTIFICATION***
QUEST: COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING,
1) FORM A FACTION.
2) BECO THE ACADEMY'S REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE UPCOMING TOURNANT.
3) WIN THE TOURNANT.
QUEST REWARD ~ UNLOCK A NEW ABILITY
MISSION FAILURE: ???
*********
"...."
I can't say I wasn't expecting sothing like this, because I knew the system was going to get into all kinds of trouble, despite the fact that I'd already ssed up a lot due to this system.
Moreover, since the Soreh Academy lost the tournant in the novel, assigning a quest to win the entire tournant isn't adequate, because I'll have to collaborate with other students as well, as I won't be able to win the tournant alone.
In the story, they ford factions and were all too busy fighting with one another, ultimately losing the tournant.
Although, Lucas gave it his all to win the competition, but this was not a tournant that could be won by a single individual performing well.
As it is different from just 1v1 duels.
The academies will have to compete in a variety of different matches that will require different skills to win and cannot be won with brute strength alone.
And Soreh Academy was disjointed as if they were competing individually rather than as a team.
Ziona was only interested in battling the strongest opponents, and no one could or wanted to stop her, therefore she was essentially solitary.
While Ayla was only supportive and stayed with Lucas because she wasn't much assistance in the fighting.
Diana refused to work for anyone and did whatever she pleased with her faction's support.
anwhile, Claude and Kevin were working hard to bring down Lucas.
And Obviously, Livia declined to participate in the tournant as well.
'So, Will I have to deal with these immature brats?'
"...."
And, forming a faction is one thing, but becoming the academy's representative? This also includes the second and third years.
It'll be a huge pain in the ass...
The first thing I should do is to ask them to join willingly... or there is a second option, which I prefer because it would be much easier, but so preparations would be required to pull that off.
Of course, I'm referring to beating the crap out of every first-year faction leader in order for them to collaborate with , which will be difficult because they are all powerful individuals, but I can do it if I plan properly.
...Ayla Eugene, I should bring her along first, because it will be difficult if she tries to disrupt my plans.
Because I believe she is capable of devising counters to my plans.
