Get Lost or Die (5.6K)

Inside the room, Alpha held the sleeping Milia in his arms, a gentle smile on his face.

"Well, I'll definitely go. There's definitely a part of the truth you're looking for there, and it's also what I'm looking for."

Mahiro savored the coffee Alpha had brought while watching her take care of Milia.

As expected of Alpha, despite still being a young girl, she exudes an unusually mature maternal glow.

Perhaps it's because he often took care of Beta and the others when they were little.

"But before that, there's one more thing I need to do."

Upon hearing his words, Alpha paused abruptly as he brushed the stray strands of hair from Milia's forehead, then looked up at him with a blink.

A hint of doubt flickered in his deep blue eyes, yet he seemed to have thought of something.

"Is it about Miss Sherry?"

"Yes, it's not good to just leave it like this; it's definitely time to come to a conclusion."

Mahiro put down his coffee cup, stood up, and walked to the balcony to gaze at the night view in the distance.

In the days that followed.

As expected, Cid took a week-long leave of absence.

It was less than expected, which means Cid's physique is quite formidable.

Meanwhile, Jaga and Hyoro, the two extras, looked at each other in disbelief. They never expected that their seemingly sturdy but foolish best friend would take leave so casually.

Having lost their target for jokes, the two of them suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable.

To Mahiro's surprise, Claire didn't ask for leave to take care of Cid.

Even when asked, he only gave a cold reply:

"Cid doesn't need me anymore; he can take care of himself."

It's as if, after years of reflection, Claire has finally come to her senses.

It seems that what happened that night had a significant impact on her.

Normally, Claire would probably be very worried if she heard that Cid had taken sick leave, right?

Sigh, but he can't blame anyone else; it's all Cid's own doing.

On the rooftop of the college.

The midday sun shone down from the horizon.

Although it was early summer, the heat was already quite intense. At this moment Mahiro was standing here, enjoying the pleasant cool breeze blowing in his face.

Opposite him stood a beautiful silver-haired girl.

"Alexia, why did you invite me here in the middle of the day instead of eating lunch?"

He had originally planned to have a chat with Vice Dean Lutheran during his lunch break, but this girl dragged him here instead.

"Um..."

Alexia nodded silently.

As if organizing his thoughts, he spoke after a long pause:

"Because of Professor Jeno's disappearance, my engagement with him was dissolved, and some things about the Griffey Family were discovered. My sister and father stripped the Gulifi family of their titles and imprisoned everyone."

"Hmm, isn't that great? Congratulations!"

"Also, regarding my previous kidnapping, it has been confirmed that it had nothing to do with Claire. Queen Alice hopes that I can convey her sincere apologies to Claire."

"You shouldn't be saying that to me; you should be saying it to Claire."

"Besides, Sister Wang seems to have discovered some inside information, so she's organizing a team of experts to investigate. I also plan to assist in the investigation, so there's still a lot to do."

"Yes, it's good to be busy, but don't neglect your studies."

"I know, but I haven't told Alice about you, Yotsuba Clan -Alice sensei. Although I don't understand what you mean by Kamen Rider, I believe you meant no harm... Also, I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble before."

The girl bowed deeply to him.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I have this feeling that Alexia brought him here on purpose to start a conversation?

These things are clearly unimportant to him...

Oh, no, that's not right either, except for the part about helping him conceal his identity at the end.

But actually--

"It doesn't really matter."

Mahiro shrugged.

At worst, I'll just lose my teaching job and resign from the college; it's not a big deal.

As for the Knights and Princess Alice, they were not even worthy of his attention, not even Alpha's. In fact, they were simply not worthy of being served.

However, their conversation subsequently fell silent.

A gust of wind blew between the two of them.

The girl's skirt billowed up, revealing her fair thighs, tightly bound by white stockings.

"If there's nothing else to say, I'll be going now."

"Please wait a moment, I have something else to say."

"Okay, then go ahead and say it."

The girl called out to him, and Mahiro, who had just turned to leave, stopped and turned back.

But her expression was somewhat strange, as if she was carefully considering her words, finding it difficult to speak.

"That Yotsuba Clan- sensei... your swordsmanship that day was beautiful; I was completely captivated."

"Hmm, and then?"

"So... I would like to ask you to instruct me in swordsmanship! I want to learn your swordsmanship!"

Alexia's voice was loud, as if she had used all her strength, perhaps only in this way could she feel a little better.

Because what she originally admired and worshipped was her sister's sword.

Although she has always pursued the swordsmanship of ordinary people, if possible, she would like to be as outstanding as her sister Wang's sword.

Until the appearance of Yotsuba Mahiro.

Her swordsmanship, which could be described as returning to simplicity, completely captivated her.

I want to learn!

However... he felt a strange sense of guilt and immorality, as if he had betrayed Sister Wang.

However, Mahiro's answer was more decisive.

"No, I'm not interested, it's too much trouble."

He immediately offered three consecutive likes and then turned to leave.

"Huh? Wait a minute!"

Seeing that he was about to leave, Alexia quickly called out, "Teacher Yotsuba Clan, although it's a bit despicable, you wouldn't want what happened that night to reach Alice's ears, would you?"

"???"

Mahiro slowly typed out a few question marks.

The matter Alexia was referring to was, of course, the battle between him and Cid.

Although the second princess didn't know it was Cid, knowing that one of them was him was enough.

However, that's not what he cares about.

Instead...

The tactics I often use to threaten people are now being used on me?

Young lady, you are very talented, so you shouldn't learn any sword techniques or anything like that.

Come and learn to cook with me!

Chapter 213 Either Get Out or Die (5.6K)

In the end, even when Alexia threatened him with this, Mahiro did not agree to her request.

Just kidding, he has a ton of things to do next, he doesn't have time to deal with this second princess.

Besides, he won't be staying at the academy for much longer.

Then Mahiro found Vice Dean Lutheran.

The slightly glaring afternoon sunlight streamed into the room, making the vice principal's office exceptionally bright.

"Teacher Yotsuba Clan, is there something you need to see me about at this hour?"

Vice Dean Lutheran, dressed simply, brought him a cup of tea and placed it in front of him, his aged face, etched with the marks of time, always bearing a kind smile.

Nothing particularly noteworthy happened.

Mahiro picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and put the cup down, saying:

"I just wanted to talk to you, Vice Dean, about Jeno Gulifi."

"Oh, Mr. Jeno... What a pity. I thought he was a good teacher, but I never imagined he would do such thieving things in private."

Lutheran looked regretful, his eyes filled with pity.

After a moment, she looked up and met his gaze, asking:

"What would you like to know, Ms. Yotsuba Clan? I remember this matter was under the jurisdiction of the Knights, right? And I heard it's already closed."

"That's how it was originally."

Mahiro nodded in agreement, then said calmly, "But my disciple Claire told me that when she tried to rescue Princess Alexia, she encountered a powerful figure."

His swordsmanship was superb; he was able to suppress the magic she released with a single blow.

"Oh? Able to suppress Claire's swordsmanship? That's really impressive... Could that person be Professor Jeno?"

"I don't think that's possible," Mahiro shook his head. "I know Claire's strength very well; it must be someone else."

Because Claire's growth rate is very fast, with the help of the potion and her own excellent talent, plus the presence of a rival like Rose, who has an unusually high talent.

This has led to her growth rate far exceeding expectations, and now her magical power is in no way inferior to Princess Alice's.

In terms of swordsmanship, he is even stronger than Princess Alice.

Even if thrown into the Shadow Garden, they would at least be among the lowest ranks of the "Numbered Ones".

Therefore, even though Jeno Gulifi is very strong, and even concealed his strength within the academy.

However, without taking drugs, it would be impossible for him to possess the power to suppress Claire.

"Well, if you don't think it's Jeno Yotsuba Clan, then it could indeed be someone else."

Lutheran's aged brows furrowed slightly, as if he were helping Luslan think.

"However, within the entire capital, besides Princess Alice, the First Princess of the Royal Family, the only person with such extraordinary strength is probably our Midgar Royal Spellsword Academy."

So, does Yotsuba Clan- sensei think this person is hiding in the academy?

"Uh-huh."

Mahiro softly, leisurely picked up his tea and took a sip, "Not only within the academy, but also far away yet right before my eyes."

Do you agree with what I said, Vice Dean Lutheran?

"What... what are you saying, Yotsuba Clan- sensei?" A flustered smile immediately appeared on Lutheran's face.

"Don't you understand? That night, the person who helped Jeno Gulifi kidnap Alexia and stopped Claire was Vice Dean Lutheran, wasn't that right?"

Mahiro in a calm voice, as if recounting something completely ordinary.

However, the moment the words left his mouth...
