Chapter 107: Duel Trial (part one)

TL: clover

ED: eristol, xtostos

The daily school life passed without any proble as suddenly being attacked by ical beasts or phantom beasts, the classes ended and peaceful sunset ca careful, but I as faring so well like this

While walking along the corridor of the school building, I looked at the courtyard

The courtyard became a place for the rest of the students who finished their classes as quickly as I did

There was a group playing with a sroup that brought sweets and were having a friendly conversation

Sweets, huhThoseback to the dorht be nice to have soo to the grand dining hall

After roughly deciding how to spend my after-school time, I turned my heels

At that time, the conversation of the students ere in the nearby classroom came into my ears

“What should I do……I can’t find itMy precious talisot froely noisy

Peeping inside, I noticed there are many black-haired students from Hafan

Everyone see up and are about to go back

A for so

“Is there anyone who has seen a old coin?”

“Don’t worryI’ht away”

One male student stopped the students ere about to return and called out to theirl who see

By the way, I wonder what happened to that journal I picked up

I gave it to the staff of the Central Dorm as a lost item, but in the end, I’ about such a thing and was about to leave the place

However, I heard the folloords

“Maybe, someone stole it?”

“No, no way”

“The one that remained in this room until the end……Glaw-san, it was you, wasn’t it?”

Although I wasn’t looking inside the rooine the scene

I know this line

One scene of the game came to e event

That was an event in the third scenario of the original game

The incident happened when the expensive talisman of a Hafan aristocrat was stolen

The other students wereclamor on how the criminal was Beatrice

It was supposed to be an event where Chloe, who happened to pass by, defended Beatrice and Harold, who couldn’t let things be, forced himself into the situation and settled it

“Y-yesI was the last one to leave the classroo which you were not seen by anyone”

“Perhaps, you were the one who stole it?”

“N-no”

Beatrice denied with a small voice

When I think of her personality, she doesn’t sees

“……Tir”

While peeping through theof the classroo tough and scaly touched the back of my hand

“Do you know the culprit of this case?”

『No, I guess it was stolen when I ayBut, at the very least, that lady, Beatrice, is not involved』

“I understandThank you”

With this, I have confirmed it

However, it is i as it is

I was predicting her risk of death with e, so I let an ancient phantom beast who is related to Aurelia’s contract stalk her— ……I ive rise to soto escape now?”

“For your own sake, you should obediently confess”

“I didn’t do itHow can I confess to so hounded by the other students

Her body was trehtened, but she still firmly refuted them

If I were in the sa

She looks weak, but surprisingly, Beatrice eous personality

It’s extre that should have been a fiction occurs right in front of my eyes

I hope Chloe will come soon and resolves this situation quickly while also involving Harold

Huh, but, Harold is not a King’s Scholar, so there is no point of contact and their curriculum is different

Then, just how exactly will this situation be resolved?

“We won’t know the answer if we’re only arguing back and forthI will have your bag checked”

“No way, please don’t do that……!”

While I was feeling troubled, the situation was escalating

Thefroht

At that mo got du shi+ning brightly mixed with textbooks and notes that were scattered on the floor

It was a n

Perhaps it is the lost talisman

“I found the talisman!”

“As expected, the culprit was you!”

“W-why, in ……n-noThere must be some mistake”

“The evidence is found, you think you can still escape?”

“So commoner should be dismissed from the academy!”

There was so Beatrice

He is the male student as the first one to raise his voice to search for the lost item

Perhaps he is very close to the owner of the talisression approached Beatrice while revealing his anger

“There is no doubtIt is the talis and confirlared at Beatrice fiercely

Scared by the revealed anger, the students ere jeering until a while ago backed down a few steps and opened up a path for hiinal, Chloe will come into the classroom after this

And Harold would act as ait to a duel trial

The duel trial is a solution to the probleinally, it is a custom of Lucanrant, but that tradition remains in Lindis

This is the event that will trigger the change in attitude of Harold who had been distancing himself from Chloe

But, Harold has neither come in contact with Beatrice nor Chloe

So, with that said, will Jan who beca’s Scholar instead of Harold do it?

I looked around

Of course, neither Chloe nor Jan is in this classroo, Erica? You look paleIf it is necessary, I will approach those guys and mow them down』

“NoThat’s not the fundamental solution”

However, if this continues as is, Beatrice will be falsely charged

Various expressions are showing on the face of the other students

Bewilderhter, indifference

None of them looks like they will defend Beatrice

Should I intervene?

No, but, if I interfere too inally do

When I think that my intervention will rob Chloe’s happiness as a result, I can’t take a step forward

“Glaw, do you have soainst Charlotte? Or, are you jealous? Or was it for ain properly……”

“I’ht you were a serious and excellent o drew closer with unconcealed anger

It seery

He’s tras that were scattered on the floor, but he hasn’t noticed

“Please, anything but that!”

When the male student tried to tra voice

It was an old-looking Elementary Spellbook

Beatrice jumped out and covered the book that is likely to be trampled even now

As a result, thedown on the back of Beatrice’s hands

While her face scrunched up from pain, Beatrice nevertheless clenched her teeth and suppressed her shriek

The male student scrambled away and removed his foot from Beatrice’s hands

“It, it’s because you caht there?”

I opened the door of the classrooaze of the students gathered on me who is at the entrance

Aah, I did it

Because I can’t forsake the person in front of aret or the hesitancy re into the classroom, I stood to defend Beatrice who has a stunned expression on her face

“You’re surely……aah, you are the ru?”

“Glaw-san is not someone ould stealYou should know this if you see her everyday, right?”

The male student looked away from me and Beatrice

It seems that he has observed Beatrice carefully until now and he was reminded of that

Because he stepped on Beatrice’s hands, a little bit of his anger lanced at the talisain

I can understand the stirring of his heart that he can’t afford to back away at this point of time

I responded with a courteous s trained in the last few years, I have become rather brazen

“You’re just an outsider, ould you know about this?”

“Even looking froation is inadequateAnyone could have put the talis”

“Is there any other culprit?”

“SureSo the blame on her”

I looked around the students in the classroom

I wonder if the sense of justice of this

“That claiBut, that’s why the suspicion on Glaw cannot be cleared away just yetWe should detain anddestroyed”

“Do you really think that it is correct to detain innocent people?”

“Erica AureliaEven if you are special you cannot bend the truthIf you really want to interfere using the privileges of the student council or the Duke, I will be ready to leave this matter to the duel trial”

Oops, the one who brought up the duel trial is the other party

I wonder how the duel trial will go

“I understandI will accept your challenge”

“I don’t think anyone who is friendly with the commoner who has been mostly determined to be the culprit will appear anyway, so you will have to run around to search for your proxy”

“I don’t need a proxyI will fight you personally”

When I said that, the male student’s face stiffened

“You? It see called 〈Abyss Killer〉 or so like that”

“W-what……!”

No way, to think that I will be called by such an ely bad name in the academy

I didn’t expect this surprise attack, so I was speechless

The boy appeared to have recognized hter

“I will have theeThe news of our official duel trial will be delivered by the Gold Cuffs to”

“Yes, I will not miss it”

“You should use your best cheap tricks, so that you can narrow the gap even just a little”

“You’re rightI will take up your kind advice and prepare thoroughly”

At the sa reantly as possible

I confirhed

There is a sensation that soin the corridor

“No way, I didn’t think that I would have to be fighting in a duel……”

『If that fellow is your opponent, I think you will not lose even if you make a blunderThe black-haired brat who always becoer』

“I hope so, but there is the thing called co for you to face a lower-ranking opponent with ut careless』

I hope it is a good thing

No, the reason why I sighed in the first place is not because I aression

It’s because I seeh I didn’t want to stand out much

“Then, Tir, do you know the names of the people ere in the classroom just now?”

『Leave it to meI remember everyone』

“As expected of Tir, how s!”

『Fufu, I a but the names of whatever men』

I listened to the students’ na and wrote them down quickly

Should I compare it with Harold’s list of students to help find the true culprit?

“Well then, Tir……I will leave Beatrice to you”

『Uht uess I should go to Harold as is

I would like to consult about the wands to be used in the duel and I also want to check the list of students

While thinking about the duel and the real culprit, I walked towards the alche

Just as I left the school building, someone ran up from behind

“Um, Ericsama! Thank you very much!”

That person was Beatrice

Perhaps she was running around looking fordifficulty breathing

I responded with a smile so as not to threaten her as much as possible

“Don’t worry about itBecause I couldn’t just overlook it”

“B-but, I’ you, Ericsama……”

“I’m used to such theatrical scenes, don’t worry about ht for the duel trial?”

As she said it, Beatrice looked a little apologetic

She doesn’t worry about the outcome but the expenses instead, huh

Certainly, from the standpoint of Hafan, all the wands are treht up as a commoner, it is understandable for her to hesitate

“It’s fineBecause I have tooaround”

“But……”

“If you’re really worried, shall we ask the real culprit to cover at least the labor cost for the wand-maker?”

“I see! In that case you can be at ease, yes……!”

When I said jokingly, Beatrice assented while looking ateyes

As awould be due to Harold’s labor costs rather than s like his debt of gratitude and obligation, or the reward for acting as a guinea pig for him and such, is close to free for me

By the way, I wonder how much Harold’s approxi popular as a genius alchemist and as so, so if the culprit is a lower-end noble I guess it’s on the level that can cause bankruptcy?

“Thank you so et this kindness for the rest of my life”

Beatrice bowed her head deeply and ran away as fast as she came
