Become a powerful shadow master in the new world

His footsteps naturally turned right, turned into an empty alley, walked to a blind spot of surveillance, and a magic circle for communication appeared in his hand.

It is very simple to get the devil chess piece out. According to Sid's observation, there is a mechanism in the system mechanism of this chess piece that will save the life of the owner of the chess piece at the cost of the chess piece itself before the owner of the chess piece receives a certain degree of serious injury.

It is not difficult to fake a near-death injury. The ranking game three days later is an opportunity. The difficulty lies in how to create a reasonable and legitimate reason.

If it was a year... no, before the establishment of Netheril, he would not have had such worries. The worst that could happen was that he would order the witches to carry out terrorist attacks.

Anyway, he had recruited that group of witches with the idea that they were terrorists and it didn't matter if they died.

But now that group of witches really took his promise seriously and established Netheril. They changed their jobs from being terrorists and put him on the fire.

The only thing to be thankful for is that it is "Roland Augusta" who is on the fire, not "Shadow". If the identity of "Roland Augusta" is blown up one day, it can be used as a cushion for "Shadow".

I can't use the power of Netheril, so... I can only put my hope in them and leave it to fate?

"Ahem, Cao Cao, ahem, Cao Cao, ahem, Cao Cao, okay, this is it."

From Sid's mouth came the energetic voice of a young boy, the steady and heavy voice of a middle-aged man, and finally a voice with a cold accent.

"teacher?"

The magic circle was connected, and Cao Cao's voice was heard from it.

"It's me, Cao Cao."

Sid replied very naturally.

"Teacher, what do you want from me?"

"Oh, I just want to see how tolerant you are now. Don't say that I didn't give you a chance.

Ranked games.

I have given you the hint, it is up to you whether you can catch it or not."

Sid uttered a word that he himself felt was a little too mysterious.

But Sid was not worried that Cao Cao would not understand. After more than half a year of getting along with him, he had completely understood what kind of person Cao Cao was.

He believed that Cao Cao would definitely investigate. As long as he did so, the news that Princess Rias of the Gremory family, who had recently become very powerful among the demons, and Raiser, the third son of the Phoenix family, were playing a ranking game would definitely reach Cao Cao's ears.

As for the terrorist Cao Cao, knowing this, and with the reminder from his teacher, he would definitely get involved and cause trouble.

"Teacher, you already know it!"

Cao Cao's surprised and puzzled voice came from the magic circle.

What do I know?

Sid almost said this, but changed his words the moment he opened his mouth.

"There is nothing I know or don't know. I just stand higher and see farther, that's all."

“…Teacher, thank you. I already know what to do. Thank you for your guidance.”

What did I tell you? Why are you talking to yourself even more than I am?

"It doesn't matter. It's just a casual move. If you really want to thank me, let me see if your dream can leave a page in my memory. If it really satisfies me, then maybe there will be a surprise for you to see, hahaha..."

Leaving behind a string of amused laughter, Sid quickly cut off the magic circle communication. If he continued talking, he would not know how to respond.

"Huh... I don't know what Cao Cao is thinking, but it is certain that he will plan a terrorist attack in three days. By then, he can find a random opportunity to get seriously injured.

If something unexpected happens, I will transform into Roland Augusta and force a deus ex machina to injure me severely. Although this will reduce some of Roland Augusta's prestige, it doesn't matter. Roland Augusta will be a cushion for Shadow anyway."

After reviewing the situation, Sid now felt that the situation had improved and he had the advantage.

Walking out of the blind spot of surveillance, the air seemed to have become sweeter, and the sunlight from the setting sun shining on him made him feel warm.

"Well, let's go practice Shadow Strength tonight."

"Cao Cao, what did your teacher say to you that made you like this?"

Looking at Cao Cao, who was obviously excited after receiving the phone call, Georg expressed his doubts.

"Nothing said."

Having said this, Cao Cao shook his head, but the smile on his face that he couldn't suppress revealed his thoughts.

"The teacher just told me what I wanted to do originally."

"What did you want to do first?"

"Yes, what's wrong with me recently? I can't even plot against two Transcendents. How can I fulfill my promise to you?"

The smile on Cao Cao's face turned ferocious.

"Is it not that I am too narrow-minded to give up this plan just because I am afraid of being targeted by the whole world and choose to proceed step by step? Maybe it is because he knew about this that the teacher contacted me. I think... the teacher must be very disappointed in me."

The holy spear appeared in Cao Cao's hand, and he held it on his shoulder, looking at everyone around him.

"Be prepared to hide, everyone.

If this succeeds, the whole world will remember us, and accordingly, our opponents will be all the forces in the world.

Let's use this battle to establish the reputation of our heroic faction."

At the end of his speech, Cao Cao looked at Georg and Siegfried.

“Georg, tell Hades that we will show him what he wants to see in three days, and tell him to prepare the Dragon Eater.

Siegfried, contact the old Demon King faction and Li Zevim. Anyway, we have offended the demons so much this time, and we are running low on funds, so we might as well do something big, big enough that Mitsukoshi Chamber of Commerce and Netheril won't have to worry about us defaulting on our debts."

----

"Ugh!"

Looking at the dwindling number of classmates around her and thinking about her current situation, Himeragi Setsuna couldn't help but sigh while lying on the table.

After waking up from Sid's bed at noon, she hurried back to the home arranged for her by the Lion King Agency, packed her backpack and went to school.

The afternoon class time was very fulfilling. She was very grateful for the care of Nagisa Akane and her classmates. She was so grateful that she even forgot some things.

But people have to face reality, and as school is over, she still has to face her current situation.

What should she do now?

What attitude should she adopt towards the Lion King Agency?

How will the Lion King Agency treat her, the Sword Wizard who already knows their plan?

The Lion King Agency felt that it was impossible for her to still not know about their plan. During the battle, after Rudolf revealed that she was a blood partner, she was a beat slower in the battle, leading to her defeat, but Xian Guyong who was standing by saw it clearly.

Of course, the Lion King Agency would be happy for her to pretend not to know, as long as she continued with their plan to become Akatsuki Kojou's blood partner while pretending not to know.

She really didn't want to think badly of the organization that raised her, adopted these orphans, and taught them to become magic attackers and fight for justice.

But she heard Shadow's words clearly, a teacher who fought against demons for humans, and hundreds of thousands of lives on the island were almost lost because of the Lion King's mechanism.

The best ending she could think of now was that the Lion King Agency transferred her away and let her become a sword wizard fighting for justice as the Lion King Agency taught her.

The worst outcome is that the Lion King Agency directly sends someone to kill her to avoid the secret being leaked.

She would rather die than become Akatsuki Kojou's blood partner as arranged by the Lion King Agency.

As for resistance?

No matter how she resisted, the Lion King Organization only taught her how to become a magic attacker, but didn't teach her anything else.

"Ugh!"

Thinking of this, Himeragi Setsuna sighed again. With so many troubles on her mind, she wanted to lie on her senior's back like she did yesterday and feel the motherly warmth. At least she wouldn't have to think so much, or she could go to her senior to talk about her troubles and see if he had any solution.

“No, no, no, wake up, wake up, Himeragi Setsuna, you can’t drag your own affairs onto Senior. Senior is a good person, but you can’t think of him every time you encounter problems.”

Patting her cheeks to clear her confused thoughts, Himeragi Setsuna sighed again when she thought of her predicament.

"Dong dong dong."

The sound of a hand tapping the table attracted Setsuna Himeragi's attention, and following the hand, she saw a smiling elf.

Chapter 49: Understanding Shadow

"Thank you, thank you very much."

"Don't be so excited. With your ability, you are more than worthy of this treatment."

Looking at the contract that she had just signed, Himeragi Setsuna still felt like she was dreaming.

She was still worrying about how to deal with the Lion King's mechanism, but then an elf came and brought her here, and gave her a part-time job related to the magician. The conditions were very lenient, even ridiculously lenient.

Looking at the black-haired beauty sipping black tea in front of her, Himeragi Setsuna bit her lips lightly with her silver teeth. Although she was very afraid of losing this job, she still asked the doubts in her heart.

"Um... President Gama, I, I want to know why you want me to sign this contract. You should know my identity."

She knew the identity of the black-haired woman in front of her, the president of Mitsukoshi Chamber of Commerce. According to Sid's introduction, some people in the school already knew her identity, and the one in front of her was definitely one of them.

Mitsukoshi Chamber of Commerce, which comes from another world, has been waging a price war under the banner of the world battlefield after the integration of the worlds. It seems that it is trying to use this banner to maintain its position in the original world, or even go further and become a commercial giant in the new world.

It has a good relationship with Netheril and was the first force to stand on Netheril's side when it was established. It may be because of this reason that although the Mitsukoshi Chamber of Commerce is not like Netheril, which is eager for chaos and adds fuel to the fire, it also has the attribute of gloating and having fun.

These were all introduced in the limited information that the Lion King Agency gave her, especially the one in front of her, who was introduced in particular.

Thinking of the information given to her by the Lion King Agency, Himeragi Yukina's eyes twitched. Although she knew it was not appropriate to think about these things now, she still couldn't help but complain. She grew up in the mountains, but that didn't mean she was stupid.

They got her the information of the president of Mitsukoshi Chamber of Commerce, who was obviously unrelated to the Fourth True Ancestor, but they didn't give her the information of the Fourth True Ancestor. Did the Lion King Agency really think she was stupid?

"Well...why should I help you?"

As if touched by this question, Gama put down the tea in his hand, put a finger on his chin and thought quietly.

"Ah, if it's inconvenient, don't bother President Gama to answer me. I'm already very grateful that President Gama is willing to accept it."

Noticing Gama's embarrassment, Himeragi Setsuna quickly spoke up to ease the atmosphere.

"Haha, it's not a difficult answer. The reason I'm helping you is probably because we are very similar and we were both saved by the same person."

"Saved by the same person?"

Himeragi Setsuna tilted her head, not quite understanding what Gama meant.

Gama saw the confusion in Himehira Setsuna's face, took another sip of the black tea, a look of memories appeared in his eyes, and an expression of longing and nostalgia appeared on his face, and he spoke in a gentle tone.

"Yes, we were all saved by the same person, a man who brings hope to others just by standing there.

I believe this time is the same, he may or may not know the difficulties you are facing, but as long as he sees you, he will see your troubles.

I just helped him solve it before he met you."

"Who is that person?"

Himeragi Setsuna thought of someone in her mind, but... this is impossible.

"You already have the answer in your mind, don't you?"

Gama smiled faintly.

"Okay, you will be a member of my faction in school from now on. Given the character of the forces behind you, they should agree... No, let you join, unless you really want to be their enemy.

Of course, I don't mean to force you. I hate doing that. If you want to regret it after graduation, you can. You have read the contract. I didn't put any restrictions on it.

I hope that next time we talk, you have found the meaning of your life. Goodbye."

After leaving these words, the black-haired elf stood up and left the room with the others standing nearby, leaving Himeragi Setsuna alone in a daze.

"What exactly did she mean? Is the person she was talking about...really a senior?"

Putting the contract into her backpack and thinking about the conversation just now, Yukina Himeragi began to wonder if she was overthinking.

"Whatever, based on this, as long as they don't intend to commit crimes or attack the Lion King Agency, I will do whatever they ask me to do."

She took out the contract and read it again. Even from Himeragi Setsuna's perspective, this contract was too simple.

He would provide her with enough money to live on unconditionally until she came of age. All she had to pay was that she would sometimes have to take on security work for Mitsukoshi Chamber of Commerce, and she had the right to refuse for any reason.

After she reaches adulthood, she can choose to renew or reject the contract. If she chooses to reject, Mitsukoshi Chamber of Commerce will help her obtain a magician qualification certificate or provide a letter of introduction for other jobs, and will also give her a permanent Netheril magic use qualification certificate.

This contract is completely a gift of money as long as the person signing it is willing, but there is actually a boss who dares to issue it.

Even if someone really dares to open it, will anyone dare to sign it?

But Himeragi Setsuna didn't care about these things. For her, a magician who came from the Lion King Agency, in theory, she shouldn't think about "how should I survive if I leave the Lion King Agency."

But for her, who already knew the purpose of the Lion King Agency sending her to monitor the Fourth True Ancestor and had no intention of obeying the arrangements of the Lion King Agency, even if she didn't want to think about it, the idea of ​​leaving the Lion King Agency would involuntarily pop up in her mind?

But only if you really think about it, you will realize how naive her idea of ​​leaving the Lion King Agency is.
