As a Sword Saint, I Want to Be a Demon King

The silver-haired girl felt a chill running down her back:

"There are so many of them, where did they come from?"

She moved unconsciously, walking towards the direction where the faces converged.

After seeing the root, her heart began to beat violently:

——There is no doubt that it is the alchemy workshop of Angelina's mentor!

Different from what she saw at first, the entire workshop is now covered by dense black human faces, and it looks like a hell where vengeful souls roar.

Black mist continued to approach the building, disappearing into the roof and walls, and the surroundings were crowded with faces of people of all sizes;

There are even some human faces that will be squeezed out, hovering around unwillingly, and the space inside seems to have been filled by them.

"Crack."

The workshop door opened suddenly.

Angelina came out from inside.

"Ah, we seem to have met many times today."

Seeing Aiwen staying outside, the female instructor with light blue hair looked very surprised:

"Did you forget to take anything else? Classmate Garcia."

She had a smile on her face as she said these words.

It's a pity that under the reflection of the black ghosts around him, this smile looks extremely gloomy, which makes people shudder.

"……No."

The silver-haired girl suppressed the horror in her heart, controlled her voice and said:

"I just have some questions I want to ask you, but I'm afraid it will be too disturbing, so I stand here and hesitate."

"The thirst for knowledge is never a bad thing."

Angelina locked the door of the workshop, turned to her and said:

"But I still have some work. If possible, come to me tomorrow?"

"Okay, Teacher Angelina."

Egwene watched her walk past her.

When walking, all the black faces began to follow Angelina's movement densely, that kind of scene was simply horrifying.

Since the silver-haired girl was standing nearby, many people bumped into her.

It's just that for some unknown reason, they would avoid the place where the silver-haired girl was standing after approaching, as if there was something that frightened them.

At this moment, Angelina suddenly stopped.

Sensing this change, the silver-haired girl slowly pressed her hand to the hilt of the sword.

"—almost forgot to say."

The female tutor turned her head and smiled at her:

"Congratulations on winning the semi-finals, Garcia."

"Thank you."

Egwene answered.

Then he stood there quietly, watching the other person leave.

It wasn't until then that she realized that her palms were covered in cold sweat.

……

……

"So...it's because of the lack of magic power."

Back home, the silver-haired girl carefully studied the activation conditions of the hidden skill Weakness Insight - Shadow.

In the end, I finally tested it out. It turned out that my magic power was too low, which made it impossible to trigger the effect of [seeing the resentment of the dead in vain].

"As expected of the worst E-level evaluation."

She sighed:

"Can't even trigger a passive skill."

"If it wasn't for the 30 points of spirit added after getting the inheritance, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to use this skill until now."

She turned her head and looked at the two maids who were deeply asleep. The experiment just now took a lot of effort from them.

"Absorb magic power..."

Checking her skill bar, the silver-haired girl fell into deep thought.

Maybe it's because she accepted the devil's curse, she seems to have some weird abilities now.

Among them, "magic energy absorption" is included.

The first time the hidden skill was triggered, it was because she absorbed the magical energy from Elena.

Regardless of Elena's job as an assassin, she actually has quite a talent for magic, otherwise she wouldn't be spotted by the masked man.

However, this kind of absorption is limited, either directly touching the opponent's body, or capturing the magic factor floating in the air.

"When the coachman named Raul died tragically, a lot of dark magic power dissipated to the outside world, and it was only then that I saw the secret of Angelina's mentor."

She propped her chin with her hands and began to think about how to deal with this matter:

——The easiest way, of course, is to ask Angelina out for a one-on-one fight.

However, after measuring the gap between the two sides, she felt... the chances of being/killed in the end would be herself.

Unless she obtained all the sword master skills and upgraded all these skills to the full level, she would have a chance to defeat this powerful enemy one-on-one.

Then, report to the principal?

There is also a big problem with this, because she doesn't have any evidence to prove that Angelina is behind the scenes.

Could it be that he has the ability to see wronged souls?

There is no such thing as "eye of the sky" or "eye of yin and yang" in this world, and all special powers are related to magic. (Note: This is just someone's own inexperienced judgment.)

If she really had that kind of power, she should have been detected long ago.

"There are only a few top experts I know... none of them are easy to persuade."

The silver-haired girl lay down on the table in distress, thinking with a sad face:

"Harold, the leader of the kingdom's magicians, Ingram, the head of the court knights, the head of the school, and the man with the giant sword... Sigh!"

"But if you don't look for them, facing an enemy like Angelina, if you don't have enough strength, you will die in vain."

It's all that damn pre-quest!

She bitterly thought:

If it wasn't for it, how could I not even be able to make a friend?

Now is the time to use contacts, and I, a descendant of a dignified sword master, has no helpers at all!

It really makes no sense!

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"!!"

Elena, who has been in charge of family affairs, was awakened by the ringing of the bell.

She sat up with difficulty and wanted to get down to open the door.

"Lie down and don't move."

Even though she is now suspected of murder, Ai Wen has no habit of abusing maids, so she immediately stopped her:

"I'll just go by myself."

At the door, an elderly man tremblingly took off his hat and saluted her respectfully.

"—I am Lord Lake's former messenger."

Then introduce yourself to:

"I've been working for the orphanage, and today I'm sending you a contract."

"Oh, leave it to me."

Ai Wen remembered what the messenger from the school said, and the employment contract of the staff would be delivered later, but she didn't expect it to take so long.

"Sorry for the delay."

The old man bowed his head to her:

"Because some people had an accident, the procedures are more cumbersome, so..."

"Accident?"

"Someone died, someone disappeared."

The old man replied with a sad expression:

"The reason has not been found out until now. The city guards said they would send people to investigate, but there has been no news."

"That's it."

The silver-haired girl knew it well:

——There is no doubt that these people must have been silenced.

The matter of the orphanage is very involved, and many forces are mixed in it, and they will never allow anyone to reveal the secret.

The dead can't speak, and the missing can't get rid of the tragic end; unless there is enough use value, maybe you can be lucky enough to leave a life.

"Well, I will go to the orphanage in two days."

Ai Wen thought for a moment, then said to the old man:

"Then bring some condolences to the children. After all, I am an agent now, and I can't justify not showing up."
