—Clank!
I slid the doors that led to the balcony.
"...how annoying"
After the match with Haris, I left immediatly. With everyone distracted by Kevin's match, I took the opportunity to slip out and go back to my dorm.
Like that, I avoided most reporters.
Furthermore, apart from electives, there were no other lectures today. Therefore, I was naturally free.
Regarding Kevin's match, he naturally won. I wasn't sure about how many times he go challenged, but it was probably more than five.
"Haaa...what should I do now?"
A lot of my plans had changed because of what had happened in the most recent days. My plans of laying low were pretty much scrapped.
"hmm..."
Were they?
Now that I thought about it, although I could no longer remain as hidden as before, nothing prevented me from building my forces secretly.
I guess you could say that I was now operating in both the light and the dark.
In a way this was good.
A lot of my plans would speed up as a result of this. I did not need to be as cautious as before and could be more brazen about it.
'...Should I create an alias?'
By creating an alias I could still operate more secretly. On one hand, I would be this 'talented' individual that studies in the Lock.
On the other hand, I would use my other alias to operate my mercenary group and company.
That would be ideal.
...but who knows. I needed more time to think about this.
After what had happened a couple of days ago, I found my confidence shatter into pieces.
Anytime I came up with a plan, I felt paranoid.
What if this happened? What if that happened? What if a meteorite suddenly fell from the sky and destroyed my company?
With my recent successes piling up, I had become arrogant and complacent. I needed to stop thinking that I had everything in my control.
Nothing was ever in my control.
Just like Everblood, there were things that I couldn't account for. I needed to knock this into my skull.
I was so sure that everything was going according to my plans before...and guess what, Everblood showed up.
Someone who I didn't properly account for.
"...there's that fucker too"
There was also Matthew...
I'd never have expected him to go public with the incident.
If I could have, I would've immediately have told Irene the truth. The truth about the fact that he was a villain.
Sadly, I couldn't.
With Matthew knowing that I had a way to cure the Mindbreaker curse, I knew that I couldn't touch him at the moment.
If such news were to be revealed to the world, not only would I become the number one target of the demons, I would also be targeted by other people who were desperate for the cure.
Fortunately, since I could reveal that he was contracted to a demon, he also couldn't reveal what he knew.
We were currently at a stalemate.
"...Damn it, I need to be stronger"
I clenched my teeth hard and glared at the scenery outside of the balcony.
I had to get stronger quicker.
"I can't let this go on..."
"Here goes nothing"
—Crunch!
Angelica took a bite of the fruit.
