I Possessed The Villain’s Childhood Friend

80 – Decision – 2

… Is this really a coincidence?

I couldn’t help but feel that way towards Ender.

Ike Axus was the one I just decided to keep an eye on.

I know the speaking habits of the former saintess that only a few people know about.

He is the person who was targeted first when the monster attacked Arcana.

He is a student who is said to have a very abnormal magical path.

Didn’t he reveal his presence as if he openly asked people to doubt him?

Of course, since he had been watching him for a year, he knew now.

A man named Ike Axus may be suspicious, but he is not a man who would harm others.

Nevertheless, because Ender is sitting in the position of dean of Arcana, he could not completely clear his doubts.

“Hello.”

“Welcome.”

Ike Axus bowed his head to Ender.

And without hesitation, he sat down on the chair and looked at Ender with serious eyes.

“So what happened, Mr. Ike?”

“I came here because I wanted to have a little, serious talk, Dean Ender.”

At Ike’s words, “It’s an important story,” Ender braced himself.

“Are you in need of some help again?”

Over the past year, Ike has been helped by Ender many times.

It wasn’t that Ender was dissatisfied with that fact.

He thought it was his role to help students.

However, if the opponent is Ike Axus, the story is a little different.

Of course, the result of helping does not change.

However, on the other side of my heart, a little bit of doubt will inevitably remain.

“Yes, I think so.”

“I think so, la.”

Unlike the uncertain tone, I could feel the determination in Ike’s eyes.

“Let’s listen and think.”

At Ender’s answer, Ike calmly took a breath.

Then he slowly put his hands in his pockets and opened his mouth.

“First of all, let me tell you one thing in advance.”

“What is it?”

“I don’t think the dean will understand my story at first. But there are absolutely no lies in what I will tell you from now on. I just want you to know that.”

“I will try.”

“Thank you.”

Ike slowly removed his hand from his pocket and placed it on the desk.

It was a simple silver ring with nothing flashy about it.

“This?!”

But seeing the ring, Ender couldn’t look away.

Because it was the ring of the sacred god, the saintess, who disappeared on the day that the previous saintess, Selene, died.

Of course, Martires kept this a secret, but Ender, who was Selene’s teacher, knew to some extent what was going on inside.

“Ike. How did you get this ring… ?!”

“Please calm down, Dean Ender.”

Even if Ike said so, there was no way Ender could calm down.

A case of assassination of a saintess that has not been announced to the public.

Wasn’t the saintess’s ring the only weapon that disappeared along with the assailants?

To say it’s in Ike’s hands right now, that means.

“Ike, you are indeed….”

“I can guess what Dean Ender is thinking, but I hope you will listen to me to the end.”

Ender wanted to arrest Ike and interrogate him right away.

However, seeing Ike’s calm appearance, he put his hand down first.

“I’m sure Dean Ender knows about a group called Avatar.”

“Yes.”

Isn’t that the name of the organization that is contributing the most to increasing Ender’s wrinkles recently?

And.

“I am 18 now, so was it 14 years ago? The saintess of the previous generation was assassinated by unknown assailants.”

“… ?!”

As soon as he heard Ike’s words, Ender’s patience finally ran out.

Boom! The sound echoed, and the sofa on which Ike was sitting turned over.

Hearing Ike’s words, Ender immediately raised his mana and tried to slam his body into the wall using Zephyros, a B-class wind magic.

“… What are you?”

However, as if Ike had already anticipated what Ender would do, he evaded his magic by leaping right back.

“Ike. Where the hell did you hear that story?”

Ender pointed his right hand at Ike and said.

The story Ike had just told was information unknown to anyone other than her closest aides and the Superior Archbishop of Martires.

Even Selene’s gift, Ender, would not have been heard if it hadn’t been for her will she left in advance.

Even if it was Ike, the second son of the Duke of Axus, it would be absolutely impossible to know in the first place.

“… Dean Ender. I can understand your embarrassment, but as I just said, I hope you will listen to the story to the end.”

But Ike, as if he had expected Ender to act like this, had a calm expression as usual.

“Why should I? Now you have things you shouldn’t have, and you know things you shouldn’t know. Even if I kill you right now, I won’t have anything to say.”

“I know. But if you kill me now, the dean will definitely regret it.”

“Regret….”

Ike’s eyes didn’t even flinch when he said that.

Is what is contained in these pupils true or false?

“Whoa, good. Let’s hear the story However, the moment I notice something strange, I will immediately carry out the dean’s authority and subdue you.”

“Yes, I understand.”

In Ike’s calm atmosphere that gave rise to goosebumps, Ender couldn’t be sure.

“Then let’s start talking again.”

Ike put the sofa back in place and sat down quietly.

“First of all, that ring. I went to visit Olivia-sama last summer vacation and got it myself.”

“… Olivia? Could it be the Olivia I know?”

“Probably the person the dean thinks of is right.”

Ender could not hide his embarrassment.

It’s hard to understand that Ike even met Olivia, but why the hell did Olivia have that ring?

Ender tried to ask about it, but was completely speechless at Ike’s subsequent story.

“Dean Ender. I know what the future holds.”

★

It’s a matter of course, but it’s not without worries.

If you look at it in a way, it might end up overturning the basis of the story.

But if you think about it, it was a story that didn’t need to be hidden.

Of course, I didn’t mean to say that this world is the world in a web novel.

Unless it was someone who could definitely help, like Dean Ender, he wouldn’t even bother talking about it.

Anyway, the reason I told you this secret was simple.

Because I am weak.

My current skills are all that I follow to some extent based on the body Ike created in the original work before possessing this body.

I can’t handle this body perfectly with my talent.

In other words, no matter how hard I try, there is a limit to what I can do.

There are many times when I feel like it’s too much for me even when I’m sparring with Leon or Helen right now.

But I also didn’t want to give up on the futile dream that I didn’t want to let go of anyone around me.

So I had to get help from someone.

It’s okay to laugh at me for saying that I’m a big fool.

I don’t care if I hear that you’re an idiot who doesn’t even know how to do it.

This place has already become so precious to me that I can laugh at such words.

So I had no intention of hiding it any longer if need be.

The fact that I know the future of this world to some extent.

Even if that turns out that I’m not the real Ike Axus.

“What does it mean to know the future?”

“I mean literally.”

“You mean you have the same abilities as Olivia?”

“That’s not true. To be precise, I am not predicting the future.”

All I can say is information from the original work.

You don’t know how the future, which has already changed, will flow.

It would be better to wrap it properly and move on than to be vain.

“All I know is some information, so it feels like using it to guess the future.”

“It would be nice if you could explain it a little more.”

“Mmm.”

This is the game.

Because if you tell a half-hearted lie that doesn’t match, you’ll be caught by Dean Ender soon.

“I mean, all I know is about the organization called Avatar.”

“… Avatar?”

Dean Ender opened his eyes and looked at me.

“I was going to talk about Avatar earlier.”

“Yes.”

“Ike-kun, maybe.”

To infer a conclusion from just this much said.

As expected, the calculation was fast.

“Unidentified assailants who killed Selene….”

Dean Ender gritted his teeth with his eyebrows narrowed.

What he felt was a quiet rage.

“Yes. Those thugs are all from Avatar.”

“I want to hear that story in detail.”

I looked at Dean Ender, caught my breath, and nodded quietly.
