Episode 72: Unthinkable in Normal Circumstances

In my expectations, he would have used the slave maid as a decoy and fled without such a reaction.

However, what actually happened? He moved faster than me to help the slave maid.

It’s unthinkable in normal circumstances.

First of all, Kaiser is someone whose abilities are so low that he’d rank among the bottom at the academy.

Frankly, if not for his infamous reputation, I wouldn’t even remember his name.

It’s impossible for such a person to react faster than me.

In this academy, apart from the student council members and maybe their assistants, I pride myself on having the quickest reaction speed.

On the other hand, Kaiser is infamous here as the representative of incompetence and low intelligence. Could such a person really react faster than me?

Perhaps by chance or intuition, he moved at that exact moment. That’s still a more believable explanation.

At that time, that was the only conclusion I could reach, that his reaction was just luck.

However, as time passed, a sense of unease lingered within me. Was his reaction really just luck?

His reaction back then seemed not like luck but a deliberate response, based on reading the opponent’s movements.

As I pondered over this, the day waned, classes ended, and it was after school.

“No good. I wasted the whole day because of that incompetent guy… I should stop worrying about him; it’s a waste of time.”

Currently, I’ve discovered the headquarters of an underground organization involved in human trafficking, linked with other countries behind the empire’s back. I need to go on reconnaissance, but if my thoughts are scattered over such things, I might make basic mistakes…

In a world where a moment’s carelessness leads to death, I shake my head to clear my mind and head towards the headquarters.

“…Strange.”

However, as I approach the headquarters, I don’t encounter anyone who seems to be a member of the organization. Even upon entering the headquarters, no one’s around.

Something is wrong.

Maybe my investigation into this organization’s headquarters has been leaked, and they’ve relocated to another place.

“Darn, was I too late…”

Even so, considering there might still be those who haven’t escaped yet and the possibility of traps, I proceed cautiously.

“This is… blood. Someone must have been seriously injured in this room, judging by the state of it. But the difference in strength between the two parties is too great…?”
