After Victor, driven by greed, left the back hill of the academy,

Before long, a large number of knights from the capital surrounded the entire academy and began a thorough search.

During their tense and meticulous search, the knights quickly discovered Devon Reiser's body.

And Kefla Delin—Gwen's sister.

Both bodies died in extremely gruesome ways.

Devon Reiser's bones were almost completely shattered, his fat chest seemed to have been pierced by an unknown giant pillar, and his heart was broken.

Kefla's bones were also shattered, but due to her status as a Witcher, they did not disintegrate into tiny fragments.

Unlike Devon, there were no gruesome puncture wounds on the surface of his body; only his lower abdomen was pierced by a sharp weapon, as if he had died from excessive blood loss.

Before long, the knights had sealed off the entire back mountain area of ​​the academy, and the two bodies were carefully carried away on stretchers.

As a member of the Knights, Gwen had the right to stand inside the cordon to prevent unauthorized personnel from entering the scene.

She stood at the mountain pass behind the hill, watching her colleagues slowly carry the stretcher down the mountain.

He glanced around anxiously, and the first thing he noticed was Devon Reiser's face, contorted with extreme fear.

Gwen frowned slightly.

Immediately afterwards, a corpse with long purple hair came into her view.

Gwen's gaze sharpened as she looked at a mangled body covered by a white sheet, lifeless.

Only a pale, stiff face was exposed, with eyes tightly closed.

That's Kevlar.

Watching the corpse recede into the distance, cold and seemingly devoid of warmth, Gwen felt a chill, as if all the strength in her limbs had vanished.

That was the last time she saw her sister.

From that moment on, Gwen shut down all her emotions; her eyes never showed a trace of emotion again.

She completed her first transformation.

A few days later, through an investigation of the college and clues found on the body, investigators finally pieced together the general course of events that led to the crime.

If we had to pinpoint a cause for this murder, it would undoubtedly be Devon Reiser.

The Knights' investigation revealed that, in addition to Devon Reiser, another person was initially missing—

Henney, Victor's teaching assistant.

Although Dean Rachel has been away from the academy for some time attending a meeting in the magic capital, he remains within the academy as the dean's "eyes."

Through their investigation of the natural sparrow's replay, they learned that Devon Reiser had led a group of students to humiliate Henney, causing her to leave in despair.

Not long after, Devon Reiser also disappeared.

However, the Knights discovered the bodies of Devon Reiser and Kefla on the final battleground in the mountains behind the academy.

Based on the surrounding signs of battle and Kevlar's identity as a witcher, it can be inferred that...

Kefla fought a desperate battle against the demon to save Devon Reiser.

There are two possibilities regarding the origin of the demon.

The first reason stems from Henne's intense desire for revenge.

This led to the death of Devon Reiser, and also took Kevlar's life.

The second possibility is that it is the missing Victor.

Not long after Devon Reiser and Henney disappeared, Victor also mysteriously vanished.

At first, the students only reported that Professor Victor had missed a few classes.

When the academy's mages sent a letter to the Clyvenar family urging Victor to return and teach, they received no reply for a long time.

So they sent someone to investigate.

The investigating mage learned from the servants that Victor had not returned to his mansion for several days.

They then realized that Victor had also disappeared.

However, the mage corps within the academy was unable to trace the flow of Viktor's magic at the time, and therefore could not determine his whereabouts.

Henney had the motive, and Victor had the ability, especially after they both disappeared.

This makes them the prime suspects in the summoning of demons.

Despite the doubts, to claim any concrete evidence, everything is merely speculation.

Because no witnesses saw them summon demons.

Ultimately, the emperor merely ordered a news blackout to prevent the incident from becoming public and causing chaos in the capital.

He ordered the two men to be apprehended as soon as possible.

Therefore, neither Henney nor Victor were convicted.

The Clevner family thus escaped punishment.

However, Devon Reiser was indeed at fault first.

If he hadn't humiliated Hennie first, he wouldn't have faced such deadly retaliation, and it certainly wouldn't have led to the death of a Witcher.

His actions were considered extremely heinous, and even though he is dead, the Raiser family is still liable and must pay a large sum of compensation.

This incident aroused the dissatisfaction of many nobles, who, as nobles, believed that there was nothing wrong with humiliating a commoner.

But in public, no one dares to say such things openly; this sense of entitlement can only be kept in one's mind.

Anyone who dares to offer such an opinion in front of the emperor is simply asking for trouble.

The emperor's meaning was clearly to tell the nobles that they should learn from the incident of Devon Reiser.

The empire forbids nobles from insulting commoners, yet Devon Reiser still made this mistake.

To put it another way, he violated imperial law and deserved to be killed.

As a result of this incident, most people also received the news.

The head of the Reiser family, Riboot Reiser, is also about to return to the Empire.

His return was perfectly justified; after all, Devon Reiser was his son.
