Playing the Perfect Fox-Eyed Villain Chapter 105

Episode 105. Killing Two Birds at Once (1)

Eleanor Demichel.

She hides her uneasy feeling and walks towards a martial arts hall that only commoners would use.

'Of all the places, why here?'

Although not as much as Yurian, the unclean place and the dirty smell were hardships for her who had walked the path of a noble noblewoman.

However, the reason she came here was precisely because of the 'Bishop's management' that she had been emphasizing to Yurian.

It's easy to predict that Aiden, who had a conflict with Yurian, will act out.

Honestly, I don't intend to get involved in their battle of pride, but the Dawn Society has not yet fully revealed itself.

Moreover, Yurian and Aiden are among the top ranks in the Dawn Society's military power.

'There should be no loss of power.'

In order to preserve the Dawn Society, their conflict had to be prevented from the perspective of the Bishop's management.

She had just discovered through her eavesdropping magic that Aiden was working with Bishop Korund, and through various routes, she was able to learn that they were meeting at the Fighting Hall.

Fortunately, there was a VIP room that only VIPs were allowed to enter for the nobles with secret hobbies, and Eleanor waited for a conversation after entering there.

To know their plans.

– “Haha, it’s been a while, Aiden. Your face doesn’t look so bright, maybe something bad happened?”

The owner of this voice is Bishop Korund.

A man who once studied in the same school as Aiden.

That's why I casted the eavesdropping spell first, expecting Aiden to approach first.

'If it had worked for Yurian too… … .'

If that were the case, it would have been easier to manage the bishop or mediate in situations like this.

Anyway, she came here today to stop Aiden's plot.

– “By the way, I never imagined you’d come here in person, Aiden.”

Korund's words transmitted through magic tools.

Even though they were together, it was a blessing for Eleanor to use the magic of message, as she was afraid that someone would hear.

Because wiretapping magic is only activated when that magic is used.

But she tilted her head in puzzlement.

It was the shallow nature of Korund, I had known that for a long time, but Aiden's movements were unexpected.

'Why is a nobleman so obsessed with pure blood in a place like this?'

While she was guessing, the atmosphere in the martial arts hall was brimming with energy that seemed ready to explode at any moment.

Waaa …

In the middle of the arena, several people were tangled together and swinging their weapons at each other.

There was a hoot when that weapon cut through the air.

When hitting an opponent, there is loud cheering.

The aftermath of explosive emotions reverberated throughout the area.

For some, it might be the ultimate entertainment venue.

'I'm really sick of it.'

I don't mean to ridicule her as a low-class hobby, but Eleanor had a hard time adjusting to this crowded place.

It was fortunate that I wore a mask so that my face wouldn't be sold, but if I had met even someone I knew, the discomfort would have been heaven-sent.

– “I guess it’s because I have a hobby here. Aiden, you once said that the martial arts hall was a mean place.”

Korund's words, which were both clever and secretly annoying, were heard through the magic tool.

Although he was a man I had never really talked to before or after becoming a bishop, I couldn't help but sympathize with what he said this time.

Whaaaa …

[Well done, Karin! You've shown me exactly why you're here!]

[Get out of here, you idiot!]

By the time the loud cheers of the martial arts hall bursting out began to make her frown.

– “That’s why we chose this place as the meeting place.”

Aiden's subdued voice pierced my ears.

– “No one would think that I would come to a place like this.”

– “Well, that could be possible.”

– “Now, let’s get to the point.”

From now on is the important moment.

Eleanor listens to their conversation.

– “Wait a minute. Aiden, let me guess what you’re trying to say.”

It was Corund's voice, mocking and mocking.

– “You probably know that the wizards’ pure-bloodism is excessive. However, since they are your base, you have no choice but to take action in this situation.”

Korund, who has yet to experience Yurian, seems to be enjoying this situation.

It made him feel good just knowing that Aiden, who was so arrogant, had asked him for help.

– “Yurien, the situation has come where we have no choice but to cut off that half-breed’s lifeline.”

As expected.

– “I don’t like him either. He is a half-wit who is favored by Lord Tenelon and doesn’t know the fear of heaven. Aside from being a bishop, he is destined to be unlikable as a wizard.”

Pureblood wizards have an extreme aversion to 'collaterals' who are of mixed blood with commoners.

The sorceress Eleanor also knows that custom well.

– “But you know, I’m also thinking about this. Could it be that they’re planning to use Yurian to eliminate the other ‘pure-blood’ schools?”

The story flows in a strange direction.

– “What a leap of thought.”

– “What a leap, I just had a natural question.”

A small laugh was heard.

Something that feels a bit frivolous is definitely Korund's thing.

'Probably, Korund also knows that Aiden did not join hands with Yurian.'

But why do I bring up this story?

'To gain an advantageous position in the upcoming negotiations… '

As Eleanor was gathering her thoughts, she realized that the stands were strangely quiet.

[Hey, something unexpected has happened! The new face of the martial arts hall has defeated the championship candidate, Kagum!]

The reason for this silence was revealed to Eleanor, but she paid no attention.

The only reason he came here was to manage the bishops. And furthermore… … .

'huh?'

She wasn't even interested in the stadium, but she couldn't help but look at Inyoung who jumped out from the stands.

[What's that guy?]

[Can't you turn it off quickly?!]

[Don't break the flow, get out of here you little shit!]

As Inyoung, who appeared to be an adult male, landed on the field, all kinds of insults were hurled at him.

‘… …Being noisy.’

In an atmosphere that was already chaotic, wasn't it just one person who barged in?

The grumbling woman was about to listen to the eavesdropping spell again when the man who had barged in took off the mask covering his face.

There was a face revealed, a person who shouldn't be here.

'… …Why on earth are you?'

The one who brought me to this place, so crowded, so dirty, so low-class.

Because Yurian was standing alone.

***

I was fully aware of this while living in this body.

The guy named 'Yurien' likes duels.

He is very narcissistic.

That he is a man who takes pride in his 'closed eyes' work.

'You crazy kid.'

My vision changed in an instant, and I started looking around.

Clearly, just a moment ago I was looking 'down' from the stands, but now I'm looking 'up' from inside the stadium.

That is, my body moved without me knowing and I entered the stadium.

'If I get sick, I won't die.'

Perhaps the reason why this happened is because I 'know' who defeated the favorite, Kagum.

In the story, Yurian does not know that the 'Blind Warrior' is a fellow student of 'Geomseong'.

However, as I played the game, I was aware that they were 'classmates' and that's why my body reacted so strongly.

'Furthermore.'

The blind warrior, Zahat, is a criminal.

To be exact, a criminal who broke 'military law'.

That is why it seems that 'Yurian', who had pride in being the 'closed eye', an exclusive organization of the imperial family, had no choice but to move.

[What the heck!? A person burst in from the stands… … Wait, is that a face!?]

A flustered man's voice, whether it was a commentator or a host, was amplified and echoed through the magic tool.

As the audience's gaze turned to my face, the once quiet stands began to stir.

[“You, it’s Yurian.”]

[“That smiling executioner?”]

[“Why in a place like this…….”]

Leaving the commotion behind, I placed my hand on the scabbard at my waist.

Tsk tsk──.

In fact, this situation came about by accident, but 'The Blind Warrior' is a character that fits the reason I came to the martial arts hall.

As befitting his nickname, he is blind. As such, he moves and fights solely through his five senses and another sense, his aura.

“……This is it, I never thought I’d meet you in a place like this.”

===

⇒〈Amazing Intuition〉

⇒〈Insight〉 detects the opponent’s aura.

===

An invisible aura swirled around Zahat.

A personality that is the complete opposite of that of his classmate, 'Geumseong'.

An aura that is not restrained to the point of art, but rather like a storm that continues to sway.

Players of <Let's Kill the Demon King Now> called the aura of the 'Blind Warrior' like this.

'Come on, Sonar.'

The so-called 'auror detector'.

It detects opponents in place of the invisible eyes by continuously scattering auras around.

===

⇒ The understanding of 〈Ilpilhwiji〉 has improved.

===

It was a completely different operation method from the 'Black Sword' method I had learned. That's why, even though I only followed it with my two eyes, I was able to realize a new way to use 'Aura'.

“You, Sir Yulian… why are you suddenly like this!?”

Baron followed me as I made my impulsive move and ran down to the front of the stadium.

'I don't know what to say… … '

I had no intention of causing any trouble for Baron or T'Ale.

But neither I nor Yurian's instincts wanted to soften this situation.

'It's not some trivial self-proving.'

To work a little harder.

In order to correct the flow that had started to go wrong, I felt the need to become stronger than I am now.

“Yurien, I think this is the first time since we met on the Northern Front.”

At that moment, Zahat, who was standing in the center of the stadium, pushed Kagum's large body with his foot and said.

“As I said before, I didn’t know you had a hobby like this.”

“Haha. Isn’t it my duty as a member of the imperial agency ‘Closed Eyes’ to run around day and night to catch criminals?”

“Ugh.”

Zahat laughed hollowly.

“It seems like you’ve started to ‘think’ more than when I saw you on the northern front.”

Of course not. They are completely different people.

***

'What on earth are your intentions here?'

Eleanor stuck out her tongue as she watched Yurian barge into the fighting arena.

One of the characters she expects to be the least suitable for the 'Mutugwan' is Yurian.

That is understandable, because contrary to the ominous rumors floating around, he is a person who enjoys refined hobbies and art.

‘Why is that person… … .’

The reason why Yurian, who has a peculiar obsessive-compulsive disorder and a dislike of crowded places, showed up at the martial arts hall is…

– “What, that guy is Yu-Rian!?”

Bishop Korund's voice, looking flustered, was clearly transmitted through the magic tool.

– “There’s no reason for that guy to be here… Wait, Aiden. You!”

His voice gradually began to change.

From bewilderment to anger.

For a moment, Eleanor, who was observing the situation, could tell why he was angry.

– “As expected, I plan to use Yurian to organize the other schools of the Dawn Society……!”

– “Calm down, Korund. I really don’t mean to do that!”

The situation in the VIP room, which was transmitted through wiretapping magic, was truly a mess.

Here and there, signs of physical struggle could be felt, and Eleanor's ears were repeatedly struck by Korund's explicit cursing.

'He looks quite surprised.'

This is where Yulian appears.

That alone made Korund's actions understandable.

As I said, Yurian is not a person who fits in a place like this, but he showed up here anyway.

It's natural to think that there are other reasons.

'But that's all.'

Yurian, who has only shown up in the stadium, cannot do anything to them.

If it was meant to send some kind of warning, it would have had to take some other action besides appearing.

– “I just showed up! If I had really thought about dealing with other schools like you said, I would have come to this VIP room instead of the stadium!”

Aiden's voice sounded heated, as if he had similar thoughts to hers.

– “Ah……. Right. I, I just started to have that kind of opinion.”

– “Okay, calm down.”

– “Ha, well, there’s no way they could know the conversation we had here. Aiden, unless you cast a recording or eavesdropping spell… Hmm?”

Phagectic──!

A weak electric current flowed from the magic tool earring that had been enchanted with eavesdropping magic.

Eleanor was well aware of this phenomenon.

Because it was a signal created when the 'Eum (蔭) Magic' that I cast was detected by the opponent.

in other words.

'… … got caught.'

Eleanor clicked her tongue internally. If the eavesdropping spell she had cast was effective, things would go wrong… … .

– “Aiden, a baby like this dog!”

However, contrary to her expectations, harsh curses burst out of Korund's mouth.

– “There’s a wiretapping spell! What’s going on here!”

– "what……?"

– “That damn kid! As expected, he was in league with Yurian!”

'How on earth is the story going?'

Eleanor was dumbfounded when the topic of conversation changed back to 'Yurien', not her, the one who had cast the 'eavesdropping spell'.

'no way.'

However, after thinking about it for a moment, I could understand.

– “Wait a minute! The story isn’t over yet. Korund!”

– “Shut up! I have nothing more to say to you!”

Profit.

The sound of the embers going out was transmitted to the magic tool. The 'eavesdropping magic' she had cast had been lifted.

No more messages could be heard.

Eleanor took off her earring and slowly lowered her gaze to look at the figure standing in the stadium.

Yurian Kraiphart Frasson.

'I already know that you have placed a wiretapping spell on the bishops.'

Gentle ripples began to form in her purple eyes.

'Surely… … . You came here after seeing this far? Did you really have to come here for a reason?'

Cross-eyed, with no visible pupil.

At the same time, a smile slowly forms at the corners of the mouth.

When she saw them, Eleanor's ears seemed to be ringing with auditory hallucinations.

'If not, why did you show up here?'
