"It doesn't take a genius to figure that out. First of all, her alarm clock broke and she almost overslept because of that. Right?"
The green-haired Surou shrugged his shoulders and pointed out.
"Wait, that's your reason? A broken alarm clock?"
The blue-haired second prince scoffed rolling his eyes.
"My prince, you do know that the magic crystal alarm clocks should technically be faultless, right?"
Reo shook his head at Surou's weak reaction.
"What? But they break all the ti! I had at least four of them that have simply broken out of nowhere!"
Surou waved his hands dismissively, completely unconvinced.
"No, no, no, my prince."
Reo wagged his finger at him.
"You or one of your servants have broken all of them, by accident of course."
He declared with a cunning smile.
"Huh?"
Surou frowned and leaned back, furrowing his brows in confusion.
"You see the magic crystal alarm clocks have a common issue, as the appliances that are ant for the use in the households and not in the battlefields - they break when there is an offensively charged mana within four feet radius."
Reo straightened his back and revealed with a big old smile on his face.
"Huh...? So they break if soone uses an attack spell near them?"
Surou asked, looking for a confirmation.
"Or enchantnt that raises strength. Yes."
...and a confirmation he received...
But with that information is thrown into the mix, one thing beca clear.
Burushiitto's alarm clock shouldn't break, ever. Period. As a variant magician with the healing attribute, she didn't have any offensive spells. And the one-ter radius thing...
"But that ans that soone would have to either enter her room...|
Surou's expression darkened at the thought...
"Or soone would have to use the attack spell right by the outside wall of the dormitory!"
The blue-haired boy raised his brows and nodded to himself, coming to the sa conclusion as Zoemi standing outside the room.
"You get it now? I learned that info by accident and used that trick when I was a freshman to break the alarm clocks of Xeonith and Arisu – and, like one-fourth of the students in my year. Good tis... I was caught though because I was walking wobbly from the mana depletion."
Reo nodded with a satisfied smile and giggled at the apparently good mory he had.
"Alright, then let's assu that the alarm clock breaking on Buru was a diversion - what about the rest?"
Surou didn't allow for the subject-changing trip down the mory lane.
"ssing up the laundry is a classic. I have done it myself at least seven or eight tis and no one even knew it was ."
Reo waved his hand dismissively.
"But it is possible to pinpoint whose laundry is it?"
The blue-haired second prince inquired, raising his brow.
"And do you think that every girl in the school has exactly the sa set of underwear? Or that everything is washed together without actually separating the clothes of every single person? The staff at the academy isn't clairvoyant, they do not magically rember every single shirt or pair of pants and know whose are whose."
The green-haired Reo scoffed, shaking his head over the second prince.
"...Forget that I asked..."
Surou blushed a little, thinking about Burushitto's underwear.
"And for the tripping part - before you say anything else - yes, it is actually easy to foresee that soone will cut through the lawn if they're late. Literally, everyone does that, hell, I once saw the principal beelining it right across the grass without any sha!"
The green-haired prankster declared decisively in a confident voice.
"So, who could be responsible for ssing with my Buru... in your opinion?"
Surou's question caused a pause in Reo's rant.
"...hmm..."
The green-haired sophomore covered his mouth with one hand deep in thoughts.
"Honestly? It could be anyone. Even fire magicians could pull off tripping soone without actually burning them as long as they had enough control over their spells. But most likely it was an earth magician or soone trying to pose as an earth magician."
In the end, the green-haired boy looked up at Surou and answered.
"Their physical augntation enchants are both strong and stealthy enough to not get anyone's attention while they are standing by the wall of the dormitory – with the only indicator of them doing sothing being the light of the enchantnt and nothing else. Throwing mud on the laundry couldn't be easier if you literally control earth with yours spells. And the easiest way of tripping soone is making a pebble suddenly get in their way causing their fall. Yeah, earth magician for sure."
Reo explained, counting down on his fingers while looking the blue-haired second prince in the eyes.
"..."
"...?"
...an increasingly visibly furious blue-haired second prince...
"I knew that Xeonith was looking strangely at my Buru! That transcended bastad!"
Suddenly, Surou shouted and smashed his fist against the desk!
"What...? Where did you get Xeonith into the mix? I an, I told you that he's been a major stick in the mud recently – but that sothing that speaks in his favor... You know that he is, like, super upright, right? He cares for his opinion way too much."
Reo was taken aback by the second prince's behavior, and hurriedly waved both of his arms in denial
"No you don't get it - that's exactly the reason! He can't stand that I'm together with a commoner girl so he bullies her! Or he is jealous that she isn't interested in him!"
The blue-haired second prince declared with an angry scowl.
"...Seriously, Surou...?"
Reo just looked at him with his brows raised in confusion and muttered.
"Then, if it's not him - it must be that darkness attribute brat! The darkness magicians are all perverts anyway - he might be bullying my poor Buru just to get off to her suffering! Or maybe it's his master's idea! That Miriette is just like my brother, selfish and...!"
"Alright, that's enough!"
Surou was getting heated up but Reo suddenly stepped in and cut him off.
"This is my room and in my room, we don't insult or slander the pride and idol of every freaking wind magician in the kingdom! Nor her trusted attendant who is a very nice guy who helped out when I was in trouble – which cannot be said about you! My prince, it's been a pleasure, but it's already late and I don't want to waste your precious ti! Goodnight!"
The green-thread boy got actually angry and was chasing the second prince away...!
"The hell do you an!?"
Surou was flabbergasted at Reo's sudden outburst.
"I an for you to leave my room because I want to go to sleep, my prince!"
"..."
Zoemi used that mont to retract his shadow connect and get away from the room as fast as he could.
|The second prince is already head over heels for the heroine and I need to watch out for him... still, it doesn't actually look like he knows about the events and the storyline, but he might be just playing around, he might be a problem anyway...|
The black-haired boy thought to himself while turning the corner.
|Sitll, surprisingly, Reo might turn out to be an ally!|
Zoemi thought with delight - from the ga, he knew that the green-haired capture target respected the dark-haired villainess – because the transcended magicians were treated like celebrities amongst the mages of the sa attribute - but in his case, it seed almost like a revere.
|A pride and idol, huh... And he called a good guy too... I knew he was the best boy all along!|
The black-haired attendant thought to himself and chuckled.
Thankfully, the overheard conversation wasn't consisting of bad news only.
