64-Chapter 24 Killing me is not easy
Chapter 24 - Killing me won't be easy.

Since we can't see the other guy, we'll have to force him out!
Estimating the extent of the room, I pulled out my blasphemer and used the spell on the four walls of the hall - Frost Constrictor!
With a flash of blue magic, countless blue ice dots hovered into the air, filling the entire room at once.
Even if you're invisible, the effect of the attack can't be directly penetrated, right?
Sure enough, the red name appeared at the bottom of the stairs next to the hall, and looking at the direction shown on the mini-map, I threw an ice pick right at it!
The ice cone hit the other side directly and then packed the place with ice.
But I knew my attack didn't hit the other side because I saw a shadow already floating out of that spot when the ice cone hit it.
But since I had already seen the shadow, there was no point in hiding it.
Ice Cone Stab!
Countless ice cones stabbed directly at his position from all directions, and the other party lightly dodged the attack and came straight at me.
Accelerate! Reinforcement!
After using two skills in a row I put away the blasphemer and then pulled the taijutsu straight out to block the attack.
The other party was stunned that I would use the knife, and at the same time, I saw the other party's name.
The other party was using a dagger, but slashing at the top of my taijutsu made my tiger's mouth hurt!
The level difference was too much, I was lucky I didn't get a direct shock.
Backing away quickly, I took a closer look at the person I saw.
Black hair black pupils, and all of his body was wrapped up in a black outfit.
I've only seen one other person wearing such an outfit before, and that was the other assassin, Yuuin.
Is it possible that all assassins these days like this kind of suit? Or does the suit have an effect added to it?
And one more thing that this guy's title revealed was that this guy's disguised identity in reality was actually a student of the Duo Song Academy. Interesting, it's probably someone who ran to watch the yearbook competition like Alicia, so it's a good choice to finish the mission while it's still here.
Although it's possible to be revived even if you're killed, it's too humiliating to be killed so casually, isn't it?
Even if a plot mission has you dying, that's what makes a man romantic!
"You're... Dolmie from the Polyglot Academy. Lyle?"
Just as I asked that, I even contacted Alicia with my communication terminal, and the inquiry was of course whether she knew the cadet called Dolmie.
The other party's hand holding the dagger visibly shook a bit, and her eyes revealed a look of surprise.
However, the other party also quickly calmed down, but didn't even say.
It seems that the other party was worried that I was blindfolded, but was not sure, so he waited for my answer.
And on top of the communication device, Alicia's reply reached quickly.
'I know him, he's a senior senior, good at machetes and occasionally playing with daggers and such.'
"That, Alicia has talked to me about you."
"No way! Even then you wouldn't have recognized me just like that!"
The other guy stopped after that and cut a look at me.
Don't look at me like that, I didn't make you say it, you admitted it yourself.
"You didn't see through my disguise all at once either? Don't tell me it's a coincidence."
"........"
The other pondered and said.
"Well, first you have to give me a reason not to kill you, then I can quit killing you and explain why I know you're Phil."
Hey, hey, what kind of logic is that? A reason not to kill me? Because I'm too handsome, okay? No, I think that reason will make her kill me immediately.
"Because I'm a National Magician of the Aether Empire is that reason okay."
"No, because while killing a national magician would put me on the wanted list, it would only increase my bounty a little."
By the way, this guy also has the title of wanted criminal.
"What if I'm also a wanted criminal?"
"I know that too, I've read your messages and stuff."
Oh God, my privacy. Did you know everything about what I ate the night before?
"Well, can you believe I'm a Red Leaf Mystic?"
"........"
"I don't believe I'll show you the tattoo."
I pulled off my shirt and pointed to the red leaf tattoo on my body, then continued.
"Actually, we're peers."
"Red...red leaf mystery? You...you actually..."
"Well?"
The other man's face turned livid for a moment.
"Sorry to interrupt! Please forget about today! I shouldn't have done it at random! Seeing as I'm still on vacation, can I ask you to please forget about this?"
"Uh..."
Wait a minute. Is the Red Leaf Mystery that scary a name? Even an organization that's a killer?
"Of course I can forget about today, but you're going to have to answer a few questions for me too, starting with how did you see through my disguise?"
"Well... I wasn't really sure about that, because I heard that you especially like to stay in the library, so I thought you were either studying books on the ice system or on the lightning system. Turns out I found you as soon as I arrived here. And I've seen the profile pictures of everyone inside this academy, and your current face is something I feel like I've never seen before. It's not a very good idea, but... you've been reading for too long, so I went through the books again, and sure enough there weren't any, so I was able to confirm that you were the disguised Phil."
"Aren't you worried that it was someone else who was disguised?"
"That's why I didn't just kill at first, but just a tentative attack ah."
Tentative...was that just a tentative?
Are you telling me I can't dodge a real shot?
"Well, count you in."
"Thanks for the compliment."
"...Okay, second question, what Slayer's Union are you a member of?"
"This..."
"If you don't tell me, let me find out and I'll come visit."
"The Purple Succubus Slayer's Union!"
The other party replied evenly.
Sure enough, the question mark at the top of the other party's title turned into the word Purple Phantom, so it didn't seem like a lie.
"Alright, it seems you're honest, one last question, do you know which other killers have come to kill me?"
"That... I don't know, because I only received the wanted notice in the morning too, and I was thinking I was lucky to be in your academy, but it's not a simple matter to find you ah. By the way, this spell to exorcise people is about to expire, so we'd better leave quickly."
"Sure."
I laughed, then touched my face and turned into the appearance of a teenager with black hair and black pupils.
Then I walked to her side.
"Let's go together, sister~"
The best way to hide from a killer is to hide from one, isn't it?
