137. Rubeum’s Accomplishmen (1/2)

「Kyuru, I don’t know.」Rubeum shook his head after thinking for a while.

「Is that so…」Milt looked quite disappointed.

「Rubeum’s ability to detect and hide presence is by birth. So it would be difficult to explain, right?」

「It may be exactly as you say, Master.」

「Rubeum-san, will you help us understand it?」Dion asked.

「Since Dion is asking, I don’t mind, kyuru. It won’t hurt, right?」

「Of course not.」

「Leaving aside the ability to hide presence, our current presence detection technology is lacking quite a bit.」Regina said, while stroking me and Rubeum.

「Is that so? Kyuru」.

「Yes, our intelligence unit couldn’t detect the movement of the Cult.」Dion said.

Which means, the Salvation Organization lost to the Tenebris Cult’s presence concealment technique.

Dion, who is in charge of the intelligence unit, naturally would feel a sense of crisis.

「Have something like this ever happened before?」I asked.

「No, it hasn’t.」Dion answered.

Milt, Xenovia, and Regina nodded.

「Information is a major reason why we were able to hold the upper hand against the Cult.」

The Salvation Organization was completely behind in response to this large-scale attack.

We were only able to push back the Cult because Rubeum’s speed was unexpected in the enemy’s plan.

In addition, the strength of my disciples was probably greater than the Cult expected.

「And Master’s presence also made a great difference.」

「Yes, it is as Dion says. The enemy could have never expected that.」Xenovia said.

「We should keep Master’s existence a secret from the Cult from here on too.」

I agree. The existence of the students, including myself, should not be known to the Cult.

「Even so, we were out of luck.」Regina said, while picking up a sweet from the desk.

「How so?」

「The Cult’s attack just so overlapped at the same time Milt left.」

「………」

Everyone was speechless.

Regina, who was munching on sweets, tilted her head.

「What? Did I say something strange?」

Regina doesn’t seem to have realized yet, so, as her master, I’ll have to teach her.

「That itself is the enemy’s diversion.」

「Is that so?」
