I Became a Civil Servant Who Can Use Magic

Right after Loen’s flash magic manifested.
The banquet hall was engulfed in chaos due to the nobles’ screams and smoke rising from all directions.

Amidst the chaos, the second son thought.

‘I didn’t hear any news about the Partisan headquarters being attacked?’

Unless they were annihilated, there’s no way for information to leak.
Because we’ve been especially careful about security as it’s a plan we’ve been preparing for a long time.

Then could it be.
Did those guys betray us?

No. That’s impossible.
Both they and I have already crossed a river of no return.
From the moment we made contracts with demons, we became a community of fate.

Even the nobles who know the key information all made contracts with demons.
Betrayal was virtually impossible.

‘How on earth did they find out about the alliance with the vampire clan?’

There’s another thing I don’t understand.
The vampire-related matter was a secret known only to my loyal confidants, which even the Partisans didn’t know about.

It was also my secret weapon that I had prepared.
To assassinate my brother in case things didn’t go well…

‘But, is it even possible to notice all of this?’

It should be absolutely impossible. It had to be.

However, the inspectors saw through everything.

Not only did they fully grasp the crimes of those here,
but you can tell just by the fact that they used flash magic as soon as the vampires disguised as knights appeared.

The second son smiled bitterly.
There’s no choice.

‘Now that everything has been exposed. I have no choice but to reveal my power here.’

By now, the surrounding chaos had subsided.
The vampires glared at the inspectors with eyes full of anger, and the nobles whose vision had recovered hurriedly retreated towards the walls.

In the silence, the second son moved.
In these situations, momentum is usually important.

Clap, clap, clap.

The second son walked forward while clapping.

“As expected, the Imperial Inspection Corps is different. When I only heard rumors, I thought it was an exaggeration, but experiencing it firsthand, it’s on a different level. But you know..”

He met the inspector’s eyes with a determined gaze.

However, the second son reflexively lowered his head at the fierce aura emanating from the red eyes.
What’s with those eyes…!

Loen, who was watching the second son’s one-man show, thought inwardly.

‘Is he crazy?’

I’ve been quietly observing since earlier.
It was quite a spectacle.

Muttering to himself at the seat of honor in the banquet hall, then tearing at his hair, suddenly clapping while glaring at me, then hurriedly lowering his head and grinding his teeth.

Did he become like this because he made a contract with a demon?
Or did he make a contract with a demon because he was originally like this?

Then the Team Leader’s words were heard from the side.

“Continue what you were saying.”

A hint of laughter could be felt in her words.
It seemed the Team Leader was just enjoying the current situation.

The second son raised his head again and continued speaking.
However, his eyes were directed at the upper body rather than the opponent’s eyes.

“Colluding with the Partisans, allying with demons, and attempting to plunge the grand duchy into chaos. I admit to all the crimes.”

The nobles murmured.
What’s he thinking, admitting to that here..

Loen and Ead met eyes.
He’s admitting it so easily?

“But you know. Even if I admit it, what can you do? Just the two of you?”

The second son spread his hands towards the knights lined up beside him.

“Do you know who these are? They are high-ranking vampires who directly received blood from noble bloodlines. They all possess combat power equivalent to 4 to 5-star knights.”

The nobles’ backs straightened again.
So they weren’t just knights!

Ead nodded at his kind explanation.

“I see. Thirty of such creatures.”

The second son laughed.
It seems you finally understand the situation.

“It’s too late to regret now. Especially you.”

Loen was pointed at by the second son.
Me?

He blatantly looked over Loen’s body and said.

“Your face is decent, so I’ll specially keep you alive and have some fun. You can look forward to it.”
“..”

At the second son’s sexual harassment, Loen just silently started casting magic bullet magic.

On the other hand, the second son inwardly nodded as he saw Loen not even flinching despite hearing such blatant words.

One would normally show some reaction to hearing such words, but there’s no reaction at all?
As expected of an inspector, is that it?

“Are you done talking?”

Ead, who was watching the situation, said.
Around that time, the second son also felt something was off.

“About a third of them are at a level comparable to 5-star knights. Do you still not understand?”
“I understand.”

The inspectors were still looking this way with expressionless faces.
Due to the inexplicable sense of discomfort emanating from them, the nobles once again shrank back and pressed against the walls.

The second son and the inspectors fell into a standoff with a strange tension, staring at each other without saying anything.

The vampires armored in plate mail placed their hands on their sword hilts, ready to spring out at any moment.
The second son was also thinking of releasing his power if necessary.

Then Ead walked forward with her hands behind her back.

“Grade 1 purge targets.”

The names of several nobles including the second son flowed from her mouth.

“You are all to be executed immediately.”

The moment her words ended.

Loen fired a magic bullet towards the second son.
Following that, Ead’s flame swords poured down towards the execution targets.

Nobles’ screams and the death throes of those executed echoed throughout the banquet hall.

“Attack!”

The second son shouted while blocking the magic bullet with both arms.
The vampires rushed towards Ead standing in front.

The two groups collided.

Despite their numerical advantage, the vampires helplessly fell to Ead’s flame blades.

“Kyaagh!”

The sound of a vampire screaming in pain as its body burned was heard.

Flash.
Paat!

The flash magic scattered at appropriate timings made the situation even worse.
Magic imbued with light attribute was deadly to vampires in itself.

‘First I need to do something about that magician bitch..!’

As the situation became urgent, the mask named the Grand Duke’s second son began to peel off. Naturally, his thoughts became rougher too.

The second son charged towards Loen.

Thud thud thud.

The floor shook violently under the weight of his body and muscles enlarged by demonic power.

Seeing the second son running towards her like a tank, Loen cast a new magic.

“Oil creation. Shockwave.”

Soon, the magic combination she had learned from her father earlier was fired towards the second son.

Boom!

The second son’s body fell backwards from the slippery floor covered in oil, followed by the incoming shockwave.

“Damn it!”

The second son tried to get up while spewing all sorts of curses, but it wasn’t easy due to the slippery floor and his heavier body.

After floundering several times, the second son barely escaped from the oil puddle.
He hurriedly looked around.

The distance to the magician bitch who was his target had increased, and most of the high-ranking vampires had fallen to the ground spewing blood.

‘To think that little inspector girl was a 6-star swordsman..’

The second son sensed defeat.
The image of himself being executed by the inspector played in his mind.
Biting his lip, he shouted urgently.

“I can’t back down like this!”

The second son cast black magic with both hands and drew in the surrounding blood.
The blood gathered at an extremely fast speed.

When it became about five times the size of a human face.
He stretched his hands forward and fired the ball-shaped blood clot towards Loen.

Barrier.
The barrier generated in front of Loen collided with the blood clot.

Splash!

The blood exploded in all directions, dyeing the floor and walls.
As blood splattered above the barrier as well, Loen’s face and uniform were also stained with blood.

The surroundings became a sea of blood.

As she couldn’t see ahead due to the barrier being covered in blood, Loen slightly leaned her body to the side.
It was to respond to any follow-up attacks.

Well, you need to see something to respond or not.

However, contrary to expectations, what her eyes saw was…

Thud thud.
The back view of the second son fleeing towards the inner part of the annex.

“Huh?”

The second son, who valued his own life, ultimately chose to run away.
Ead, who had dealt with all the vampires in the meantime, also made an expression of bewilderment.

“…”
“…”

Ead, who had been at a loss for words for a moment, opened her mouth.

“Loen. Wait here while I go catch him. And don’t let anyone into the annex until the situation is over.”
“Yes.”

Ead disappeared into the inner part of the annex chasing after the second son.

When Loen turned her gaze towards the banquet hall, she saw the nobles.
They were still pressing against the walls, trembling.

‘Ah.. The nobles were still here.’

Thinking it would be uncomfortable for both sides if this continued, Loen cast a light magic.

“Rest for a while. Shock wave.”

At the shockwave spreading in all directions, all the nobles collapsed on the floor and fainted.
As the power was greatly reduced, there’s no danger to life.

Loen stood in the middle of the banquet hall, inwardly satisfied, keeping her position.

Someone rushed into the grand duchy’s Inspection Branch urgently.

“Branch Director! Two inspectors just entered the Grand Duke’s mansion!”
“What?”

The branch director, who was chatting with the Inspection Department seniors, asked back as if in disbelief.

Given the situation, I repeatedly said not to provoke the second son recklessly.
Which crazy bastard!

“B-But. It seems, they are estimated to be the Inspection Department team leader and rookie.”
“Pardon?”

Ria and Gilbert were startled at his words.

“You’re saying the Team Leader and youngest appeared?”
“How sudden.”

6-star meteor magic fall.
Immediately after, the Inspection Department team leader appearing at the Grand Duke’s mansion.

‘It seems the inspection team leader discovered secrets related to the second son.’

With just a few clues, the branch director immediately grasped the situation.
His experience of over ten years wasn’t for nothing.

“Gather all standby personnel immediately. We’re going to the Grand Duke’s mansion. And, would you two come along as well?”
“Of course~”

The inspectors in black uniforms left the branch and headed towards the Grand Duke’s mansion.

The branch director and his group who arrived at the mansion immediately moved to the annex following the guidance of the royal guards.

The area near the annex’s main entrance was crowded with royal guards and nobles.

“Why are there so many people?”
“I don’t know either.”

The seniors whispered.

As numerous inspectors approached, the nobles surrounding the main entrance parted to the sides.
Then the inspectors faced the royal guard captain.
The branch director asked him.

“Why are you standing outside the main entrance? Without going inside?”
“Well..”

The royal guard captain glanced at the main entrance.
Following his gaze to the main entrance, they saw a smashed door and a pool of blood soaking the floor.

Blood?
The branch director was puzzled.

“The inspector inside told us not to come in until the matter is settled.”
“I see for now.”

The branch director nodded at the royal guard captain’s words and tilted his head looking back.
The inspectors each drew out their weapons.

The inspectors who finished preparing moved their steps and entered the annex’s main entrance.
As they went inside, what their eyes saw was…

“Holy shit.”
“Huk.”

A black-haired female inspector standing in the middle of the banquet hall,
Numerous corpses lying on the floor,
Lastly, bloodstains covering everywhere.

Towards them who were at a loss for words, the black-haired inspector turned her body.

The branch director unconsciously gripped his sword tightly at the eerie feeling sensed from her red eyes.
It seems she carried out a massacre.

“Loen?”

Ria, who recognized her identity, called out.

“Huh? Senior Ria?”
“What on earth happened.. And what are these corpses?”
“Ah. This?”

At Ria’s words, Loen looked around once.
Vampires who had become cold corpses and nobles who had fainted.
The problem was that even they looked dead due to the blood splattered everywhere.

Wait.
People might seriously misunderstand this?
How should I explain this…

In the situation where everyone was looking only at her, Loen opened her mouth.

“..I didn’t kill them.”

Drip. Drip.
As she uttered those words, blood dripped down from Loen’s uniform one drop at a time.

What do you mean you didn’t.
It was everyone’s common thought.
