After that weeks went by.
Learning about Lazarus's death ignited the flas of victory in students that they celebrated for two whole days.
Only two days.
There was parade, laughter, denouncing and the whole shenanigan. But after those two days went, everyone simply forgot about the man.
Not everyone though, Arthur did not forget about him.
He was still in his depressed crazy state by the present ti and it did not seem like he was going to break out of it anyti soon. I understand that he had taken Lazarus in as his teacher but dude… its ti, fuck him.
Even in the novel when Lazarus died in the war, Arthur did not get this sad.
So nothing much changed after Lazarus. The academy went on to teach its shitty ideals on the students and they rubbed it in like sponges.
But there were three interesting developnts.
Let's start with the least interesting one, The Snake Tail's Gang.
After the bombing, as I had calculated, the gang was starting its business again. The healing part would take long but that would co later too. But what was really interesting was that there were four snakes that were moving a bit too fast.
Those four were gaining places and joints that were raking in quick money for them. How were they doing that?
They were taking in our spots to fill in those places that they lost.
It wasn't a bad idea… it was a destructive one.
Moving into to take soone else's spot was a big no no in every underground gang or organization. And these four went on to do the very sa.
But what I found strange was that all four did that at the sa ti. I knew they were in cohorts, but not even one of them hesitated to go this far.
This ant there was sothing else happening in the background.
I don't know what it is, but I get a feeling what it could be.
With the least interesting one gone let's start with the big ones.
The matter about Elisabeth Valorence… she was a strange figure in this last few days.
Sohow without any indication or move from , she started to make a move on . Seriously, I still haven't figured out what could have happened for that change and Arthur here most likely didn't know it either.
But the interesting thing about her was that she stopped eting . After that day in the bombing, I haven't seen her figure anywhere in the academy or on the outside.
I thought that maybe I've been missing her by an inch or she was not in the academy. But that was not it. Samantha told otherwise.
[ Flashback ]
"About her?... yeah, she's a bit strange after the bombing but I suppose she's still scared. Maybe that's why she doesn't want to hang around the normal cafeteria anymore and goes straight for our special one."
"About us eting you guys?... I don't know, she doesn't speak about you guys much now."
"So Henry, how are yo-"
[ Flashback Cut ]
Yeah, she was ignoring .
Maybe I shouldn't have gone in for that kiss… or I should have gone faster before Arthur had co. I don't know what those outcos would have been but it certainly would be better than this hide and seek ga.
Finally, the most interesting thing.
Ashen Fang… her real na Rebecca Hailey ( My Little Assassin )
Back then, when I issued for an extraction team for Lazarus, I also issued a mission for her too in her codena Ashen Fang. It was to kill the guy that murdered a lot of innocent people.
Which in Rebecca's book should be checked off as she only killed bad people.
But I still worried that she would fail or things could go awry and she might instead help him out. Who could say what happens in a novel.
But nothing went out of hitch and the plan went just as I wanted. Lazarus dead and able to gain so understanding of Rebecca.
For one thing, she was a blind fool. She didn't know who was the real criminal or not. Because if she did, she definitely wouldn't have poisoned poor ol' Lazarus… and the way she did, the rumors shook people.
Strangely nobody did an investigation on his death. Probably they hated him too much.
I understood that I could make this work. I could make Rebecca work for in ways that I couldn't do in the spotlight. She would be my knife of vengeance, waiting in the dark and her provider… providing her with false information about people and letting her kill them.
Sure, it was a bit trouble providing false information and humiliating their reputation but she did quite a fine job for to issue a job to soone else.
All those that I ordered her to kill were killed in very bizarre ways. Either soone's head was cut off, which was the best case or they were writhing in extre pain on the ground poisoned… close to the worst case.
Seeing our new developnt, I decided to check sothing crazy out. I created a fake account and used that to give her two jobs. Those two jobs were very crazy but would enrich her extrely.
The first job was to kill the reigning queen Abigail… clearly she denied without even taking a second look.
Rebecca probably knew she was a bad woman, but still she didn't take the contract. She understood the limits of her power and Abigail was on a whole another level for her to take on.
Ironically, the second job was about .
To kill .
Unsurprisingly, she didn't accept that as well.
Now I ca up with two factors. First she wanted to kill by herself, on her own accord. So taking a contract about didn't suit her.
Second, she didn't want to kill . Reason… don't know. But it could have sothing to do with saving her that ti.
Still, not sure if she still wants to kill or not.
But I was more than interested to know her thoughts.
…
With those two done, nothing else happened in the life of Henry Van Tax.
Sure, he had sex with a lot of won, Abigail and a few close ones mostly. But nothing really new happened.
So with that ti went on and we are now close to the end of February.
That ant, it was ti for the exam.
…
Midnight
I stood at the balcony of three floor building and watched through a small rectangular item. Through the glasses of the binocular, I saw a carriage speeding through the roads to approach the limits of the capital.
Around the carriage were three groups of ard guards. One in the front, scouting out the area ahead and two back, steadily protecting the carriage from any attacks.
Taking a look at one of the guards, I saw their high gear and blue rings that every one of them had.
"She ca in prepared."
The carriage quickly ca to the guard post and went in without any problem. Then it stopped before one of the extravagant hotels and the person inside it got out.
It was a woman. She was tall, had soft long hair and wear a normal dress… probably to hide her real self.
Taking a look at her beautiful face, I wasn't disappointed at all.
"So you're finally here… Youngest princess of Sekai."
