Chapter 86
86 – Confession
‘What a refreshing morning.’
Gio Strandal got out of bed more lightly than usual. He slept like a dead man the night before because he consumed a lot of mana and mental strength to complete the black magic circle. So close. If possible, I wanted to see the end of John Baker with my own two eyes….
‘I must retrieve the corpse from within the magic circle. John Baker. Even if you die, you won’t find rest.’
John was the top student at the academy. It was clear that although he had entered a rootless department called the Department of Rogues, his mana adaptability would be unmatched. He is the one who has risen to the top of an academy full of geniuses. His body itself was a great offering and at the same time a powerful material for black magic.
Gio got out of bed feeling light and changed his clothes. After setting up the black magic circle, he headed to the warehouse south of the academy.

‘Colin Jauss’s body must have collapsed too. To get rid of two corpses…. Really, it’s the best morning ever.’
I almost hummed his hum without realizing it. Ji-oh arrived at the southern warehouse with quick steps.
“Huh!?”
But it was strange. The black magic circle installed last night had disappeared without a trace. No, there were traces. Traces of the complete destruction of the magic circle.
“What, what? The magic circle…. Is it destroyed?”
This is impossible. Ji-oh thought that he was less awake and was looking at something empty. I rubbed his eyes and looked around, but nothing changed. The black magic circle he was confident in was completely destroyed.
“What nonsense…. What happened?”
I checked the traces of the magic circle. In the destroyed magic circle, he found many traces. One of them was the trace of Saruwa, the ‘demon of oppression’.
‘Surely Saruwa-sama descended into Zaus’s body…. For a moment! What is this thick mana concentration?’
A normal descent could not detect such a high concentration of mana. Ji-oh knew what had happened in no time.
‘Could it be Jinsin Advent? Said Saruwa-sama descended here? I can’t…. If so, it would have been an incomplete advent….’
All sorts of information rushed through my head. At that moment, the crystal ball for communication in his arms cried out. It was the teacher’s contact.
“Professor. I have been contacted This is Geo Strandal.”
– Geo! What the hell is this!?
In the crystal sphere, the leader’s voice had a tone he had never heard before. Is that the teacher’s voice so flustered?
“What do you mean?”
-Saruwa-nim… ! Saruwa-sama has disappeared!
“Disappeared. Could it be that Saruwa-sama has disappeared?”
Evidence of Jinshin Advent revealed before our eyes.
And then, the head of the church said that Mr. Saruwa had disappeared.
That was the conclusion Geo reached after collecting the two pieces of information.
-That’s exactly what it says! Didn’t you call Saruwa-sama for the operation! How the hell did this happen!?
“That, that….”
Couldn’t it be that Johann Baker annihilated the adventurous Saruwa?
Is that possible?
‘No matter how incomplete Advent…. Just an academy freshman annihilated the great demon Saruwa!? Comedy has its limits!’
It sounds more persuasive to say that a three-year-old has published a revolutionary theory of magic. Ji-oh bit his lip and turned his head desperately.
‘John Baker…. There’s something behind him. If not, then Saruwa-sama’s annihilation would be impossible!’
– Geo Strandal! If you have a mouth, speak! What’s going on at the alternative academy?
“That, that….”
I couldn’t bear to say that I was beaten by a freshman who had just entered school. In the first place, Geo didn’t even think it was true. The reason was so obvious. Because that’s a guess that doesn’t make any sense at all.
“Anyway…. Looks like I’m not the only one who infiltrated the academy.”
So G.O’s ‘guess’ was valid.
-No way, miscellaneous things from the church?
“I think so. John Baker. It is clear that the Cult of the Sun is behind him.”
-John Baker…. Obviously, he was the first student to enter the academy.
“Yes. I personally did some background research on him. However, his status is extremely ordinary.”
-It’s an extremely ordinary status. You’re in a good position to mess with the church behind the scenes.
“I think there is a high probability that he is an informant belonging to the Church.”
-As an informant belonging to the church….
Although it got too much attention for an informant, it was a pretty plausible guess. At least, compared to speculation that Johann Baker had defeated the Prime Evil.
– Kkeukkeuk! It’s fun. Are you saying we weren’t the only ones who made a mistake at the academy? It’s really fun. It’s like playing roto chess with the church.
“Professor. I’ll deal with him myself. Leave it to me.”
– Geo Strandal! You should be quiet for the time being. This failure has caused us irreparable losses!
“Professor! If you give me one more chance, I will definitely get rid of him!”
– Stupid! Isn’t there a better plan than making a hasty move and exposing our identities!? If he is the Church’s informant, we can control the Church through him.
“Are you trying to spread disinformation?”
-It will also be possible to find out information about the church through him. Geo Strandal. Get ready to evacuate I will send your successor soon.”
-Gyo, Gyojang! The academy decided to leave it on my side…
-In the meantime, behave well so as not to be caught. Well, hang up.
“Sir!”
Call disconnected.
Gio bit his lip.
“John Baker! Because of him… ! Because of him… !”
I have completely lost the trust of the headmaster.
Gio knew the leader well. He was the coldest person Geo knew. That coolness was also his competence. Ji-oh watched several times to see what happens to an executive who once lost trust in Angra Mainyu.
‘Not yet…. Still, it can be turned. There’s still a chance!’
When you have the opportunity, you should turn the leader’s thoughts. Ji-oh was in a hurry.
It’s class time. Ji-oh controlled his excited heart and headed for the spearmanship practice center.
“Is this real?”
“Ugh…. I thought he was creepy.”
“Isn’t that G.O over there?”
“Ji, it’s real. Hey i go first It might move.”
“Me too!”
Classmates gathered in front of the department practice center. The atmosphere was strangely different from usual.
“Hey, Geo. Uhm…. I didn’t know you were that kind of guy. Well, there are various people in the world, so I respect them.”
Suddenly, Born Zaborg came to him and gave him strange comfort. Ji-oh said with a frown.
“What are you talking about!?”
It was a sharp voice like a knife sharpened on a whetstone. I had already given up on catching the concept of black magic that I couldn’t understand. This was all because of John Baker.
“That…. I will go in first.”
Born trotted into the practice hall.
Gio moved toward the crowd of students. He was in front of the department bulletin board. As G.O approached, the cloud-like group of students miraculously split from side to side. Both girls and boys grimace at him.
“Me, I have to go.”
“I’m going to be late for class….”
“I’m coming too!”
Looks like he’s clearly avoiding himself.
Gio strode towards the bulletin board. What Geo found there.
—
Hello. John.
Now that the bleakness of the spring cold is slowly lowering its head, with the excitement of the new semester..
—
It was a single letter. It was a familiar letter. He had the same content as the letter he had written to deceive John.
However, not all content was the same. At the bottom of the letter….
—
. Then, I will wait there with excitement for John.
Gio Strandhal Dream.
—
It had his name written on it.
“Oh no! I’m not!”
Gio screamed. He nervously tore the letter off the bulletin board.
“This is not a letter I wrote!!!”
I tore the letter to shreds in front of my brother-in-law. His screaming voice drew more motives.
“Isn’t that Gio’s handwriting? I saw it the other day when I signed the fixture rental ledger.”
“Ugh! Creeps….”
“hehehehe! Ever since Ji-oh-kun sold out John, I recognized him! Geo-kun is definitely an obsession… ! An idea pops up!”
“This newsletter is definitely sold out! Miss Otie! Let’s go straight to the club room after class!”
G.O had a miraculous experience of turning the sky yellow. The handwriting on his letter paper was undoubtedly his own.
“Don’t be ridiculous! A pen of deception! That bastard John slanders me with a pen of deceit…”
“Ah. Good morning everyone in the spearmanship department.”
John appeared in front of Geo, who was gasping for breath. With students of the Department of Rogues.
The Thieves Department was able to use some of the Spearmanship and Practice Centers in return for winning the exchange battle.
“Today’s morning class is here…. Ah! George. Did you see the letter hanging on the bulletin board? I waited a lot last night, but he didn’t come out, so I played around with him. Have you ever been caught by the headmaster?”

Yohan smiled at G.O. Ji-oh felt endless malice in his laugh. It was definitely the devil’s laugh. He worships the devil and he himself is afraid of the devil’s laughter. There was no skit like this.
“I know Geo-kun’s feelings, but…. Unfortunately, I’m an ordinary person, so I can’t answer Geo-kun’s feelings. I hope you find a prettier love.”
“Prettier love?”
Sierra, who was next to John, trembled and said. After explaining the general situation of John, Sierra glared at Geo with cold eyes like frost. Then she pointed with her index and middle fingers alternately at her own eyes and at Geo. It is a warning that she will watch.
“Don’t be ridiculous! John Baker! Do you think you’ll be okay even if you do this! I will kill you!”
Gio rushed at John. However, John smiled and avoided his attack.
Gio sealed his power with a special spell to avoid the eyes of the Sun Church. Of course, even then, his strength was high enough to reach the top of the academy, but he was not strong enough to reach John.
“Oops. Should I call the professor?”
John said while leisurely dodging Geo’s attack. Ji-oh’s disturbance was suppressed when Professor Reina arrived.
“I will definitely kill you! John Baker!!!”
John laughed off G.O’s outburst.
“John. How coldly trampled on someone else’s innocence! He was a much colder person than I thought!”
Ellie looked at G.O, who was screaming, and said. John answered casually.
“I hate that sort of thing.”
