Alicia's eyes darkened.
"...Why keep pretending? You're Guros's accomplice, right?"
“… …”
Raylan Green's smile completely disappeared.
"oh... ...?"
He narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly:
"You figured it out in an instant, Alicia-san. You're really smart~"
Alicia suppressed her inner tension.
He quietly clenched his wand with his sweaty palm, and said to delay time:
"No, we have suspected you for a long time."
"This is really rare~!"
Alicia's words surprised Ruilan Green again.
"Can you tell me when it is?"
Seeing that the other party was not in a hurry to take action, Alicia's inner tension eased a little. While secretly looking for a way out, she continued to delay time with words.
"It was the exam in Hulim's Potions Garden."
"That exam? What's wrong with that? It's just a proper procedure of the academy, right?"
"Indeed, there was nothing wrong with the content of the exam itself. The problem lies in the location and what happened afterwards..."

"Everything is done to get Hulim into a situation where she can't ignore me, right?"
“… …”
Alicia's words plunged Ruilan Green into a long silence. He seemed to be recalling the flaws he had revealed in the previous incident.
Good opportunity——!
Alicia immediately seized the opportunity.
He raised his hand and cast a spell.
"Fire Curtain!"
boom!
A wall of fire rose between the two of them.
Without any hesitation, Alicia quickly turned around and ran away.
She knew clearly that she had no chance of winning against Ruilan Green, and the only thing she could do was to escape.
However... ...
boom--!
Haven't run far yet.
A super-fast water column, like a beam of light, hit Alicia from behind.
Alicia's body was instantly blown away...
