I Became a Munchkin Who Hides His Academy Powers

58 – Concealed Warlock (1)

“I think it’ll be a hassle if I send that Teln girl as it is. I’ll just kill that one too.”

Her subordinate, Puera, was taken aback by Rise’s words.

Puera was a kind of protection given to her in the name of an attendant in Dalai.

A protective device that prevents unexpected actions by Rize, who has an outspoken temper.

As soon as Rize showed signs of sudden action, the protection device activated.

“If you kill the lady of Teln, then it will be really hard to handle.”

“No, think about it. Wouldn’t it be better for the Teln girl to go back to the manor and say, ‘Daddy, Mom~ I almost got a 2nd-class artifact stolen from them on the outskirts of District 2~’. Or, would it be better for the Teln woman to go missing somewhere in Arien?”

“Are you saying we’re going to set fire to the whole back alley because it’s annoying to put out the embers that fell on our Dalai?”

Just as Puera said, Rize’s words were like the words to start a fire because it’s too cumbersome to clean.

No matter how hard it is for outside nobles to exert influence inside Arien, the story changes when a lady from a high-ranking noble family dies.

Using that as a pretext, all the foreign nobles would rise up and try to influence Arien.

If that happens, the city council will have no choice but to set an example.

Backstreet crime syndicates parasitizing on the neglect of the city council will do a lot of damage.

“yes. If even outside aristocrats intervene in the messy yard searching for empty bags. Aren’t these back alley scumbags getting sorted out? Isn’t it an opportunity for our Dalaai to eat other back alleys?”

“First of all… if you don’t forget that we, Dalaai, belong to Back Alley too…”

“The city council connections you are so proud of. If not at this time, when are you going to use it?”

Of course, it was a story because Rize had a corner to believe in.

Dalai did not choose any means and methods to expand their power.

Some of their main customers were city council officials.

“The daughter of the Teln family died in our district, and in order to rectify it, we would have to be members of the city council rather than having connections in the city council.”

Of course, that connection wasn’t as strong as Rize thought.

“Eww, f*ck. If that’s the case, why do you usually suck the nobles from front to back?”

“Even though our friends won’t settle for the death of the Lady of Teln in our district. Wouldn’t you like to stand by the bullies in our district who have nothing to do with our organization who are rude to Lady Teln?”

Lize chewed on Puera’s words for a moment.

“First of all, we seem to agree on cutting off the tails of those assholes.”

“yes. If the Lady of Teln turns her over to the guards and tries to bring her to trial, things will get in the way. I think Rize-sama should come forward and draw a clear line here and now.”

“Let’s kill those assholes and explain that these bastards have nothing to do with our organization? The Teln girl should also pray for a low-intelligence bastard like Goran. You’ll have to believe that sh*t.”

“It doesn’t matter whether the Lady of Teln believes or not.”

“Then what’s important?”

“Lady Teln was almost robbed by simple thugs near a back alley. Telln cannot raise a problem with the city council for something like this.”

In Arien, the city nobility formed a council and formed a thoroughly independent force.

Within Arien, the council’s power was absolute.

Not even a great family, but a high-ranking aristocrat needed a clear justification to put pressure on the city council.

What Puera was proposing was to deal with the problem in a way that would not give such a justification.

“f*ck, that’s so damn annoying. If we had chosen people well in the first place, none of this would have happened.”

“Ugh…!”

Rize took out her anger on the junk that was nearby.

“As Rize-nim knows, Goran is still on the smart side of the filth. At least not without the slightest discernment.”

“If you’re a bastard who turns away from greed and raids Teln girls in our district, then what is he if he’s not an ignorant person? A bastard without Emi?”

Puera let out a sigh.

‘A shallow b*tch.’

Puera is an attendant of Rize, but at the same time, he was in charge of managing the tavern, a business of Dellaai located here.

It was Puera’s job to deal with Dellaai’s customers, the aristocrats.

The unique etiquette of aristocrats came out in Puera’s behavior, who identified herself with aristocrats while hanging out with them.

Then, she spat out curses at Rize’s harsh words and actions.

He said that if it hadn’t been for Dellaeye’s orders, he wouldn’t be dealing with such a vulgar girl.

“Isn’t that the daughter of the Teln family determined that if she steals the artifact without knowing the exact value of it, she can get a second-class artifact by paying a reasonable price?”

“Ha, that’s an idea that a vaguely retarded bastard would do.”

Rize considered Goran foolish.

Even so, I understood Goran’s position to some extent.

She thought.

It is a Tier 2 artifact.

A great treasure that an insignificant guy like Goran couldn’t have even if he lived several lives.

Are you under the illusion that he has control over such a treasure?

It was not a matter of being paralyzed by greed.

‘It’s a level 2 artifact… ‘

Right away, Rize was similar.

She, too, was not free from the magic generated by the treasure called a second-class artifact.

She was currently weighing the value of the Dalai’s trust and the second-class artifact.

yes

He was contemplating whether to betray Dalai and steal the artifact.

In the case of Goran, it was an option that he gave up because he was afraid of Dalaai’s pursuit.

Rize was different.

She was confident that she could handle Dalai’s pursuit.

According to what is known to the public, Rize is a 4-star wizard who is on the verge of becoming a 5-star.

If it were Dalea, it would be possible to steal the 2nd grade artifact in the name of the organization and eliminate the 4-star wizard who betrayed it.

It’ll take quite a bit of effort, though.

Even so, Rize is confident that she can handle Dalai’s pursuit.

It was because she was hiding her current powers and identity.

6 star warlock.

That was the true identity of the 4-star wizard Rize.

The number of black magicians who hid their identities and infiltrated the sunny world is not small.

However, most of the black magicians claim to be ordinary people – incompetent people who cannot handle mana.

The number of black magicians who had the status of magicians and were active externally like Rize was extremely small.

The reason is simple.

It was because achieving achievement in another field apart from black magic was extremely inefficient and difficult.

Rize was a special being who achieved both black magic and magic at the same time.

That was the source of Rize’s confidence.

Rize thought with that confidence.

It’s worth stealing that level 2 artifact.

A level 2 artifact would be enough to betray Dalai.

The relationship between Rize and Dalaai was a thoroughly calculated relationship without trust or honor.

If Dalai had to choose between the 2nd-class artifact and Rize, she would have chosen the 2nd-class artifact without hesitation.

hooked

hooked

The moment Rize finished her judgment.

The stems of mana that bloomed from her fingers pierced the chests of the two gang members who had just been playing the role of objects.

It was Manasal, a 1-star magic.

They collapsed without even screaming.

“uh…?”

Puera was taken aback by the sudden situation.

“Ri, Rize-nim, what the hell is this…-“

“You understand? It’s a level 2 artifact.”

Understanding the situation, Puera’s face turned white.

“I-I think you’ll be all right!?”

Rize brushed her bobbed red hair with both hands.

The colorful piercings on both of her ears glistened in the light while smirking.

“Yeah, you bastard.”

She tore the corners of her mouth and smiled in contempt.

“Dalaai is-…!”

Puera’s words could not be followed.

The mana flesh that bloomed from Rise’s fingers pierced Puera’s chest this time.

“What if Dalaai puts the blame on you guys and I float here in Arien?”

Rize stepped on the bodies of the fallen Dalaai members on the floor.

“Well then, shall we go?”

Rize smiled with satisfaction as she recalled the 2nd-class artifact that had already been in her hands.

“Why are you here…!”

Goran was astonished when he discovered Rize.

“Why are you here. Goran, you idiot. You asked me to come and kill them all.”

Rize held out her palm.

The lines of cold mana spread out in all directions from her palm.

“What is that-…!”

-Hook!

Goran’s words did not follow.

The magic circle of Rize, which was completed before I knew it, began to spit out ice picks.

4 star magic.

frost storm.

A one-sided slaughter has begun.

“aaa!!!!”

“Run away!!!”

The thugs wearing black robes threw down their weapons and ran away all at once.

“Click-ah-billion!”

“Ugh!”

“You crazy b*tch!!!”

But when the frost storm stopped.

All those wearing black robes were spread out on the floor without exception.

The only ones who were still standing were those who weren’t wearing black robes.

Rize, who activated the magic.

And it was Aidrin and the others who swung their swords to knock out the ice picks.

“What?”

Looking at them, Rize raised her eyebrows.

“You blocked all of them without leaving a single one?”

No matter how low the concentrated firepower was because it was a magic for mass destruction, it was a blow that contained all of Rize’s power as a 4-star wizard.

However, Aedrin and the others were embarrassed and out of breath, but they didn’t even get the slightest scratch.

“They look like no-nonsense cubs, but they must have been surprisingly strong.”

“What are you doing! What are you doing all of a sudden!?”

The first thing that surprised Lize was the reaction of Aedrin, the daughter of Teln.

Like a death knight who doesn’t feel fear, that movement that is calm without the slightest emotional agitation.

Rize estimated her state based on the mana she felt from Aedrin.

Even if you hit it well, it was a kid who didn’t get 3 stars.

“It’s strange.”

However, Adrin’s response just now was absolutely not that of a child.

It was a move that could come out only when the emotion of fear wore off after at least decades of rolling in actual combat.

“It doesn’t look that way any way I look at it. – Hmm?”

one more thing there.

The ice picks that flew in the most menacing orbit suddenly melted and disappeared.

As if there was ‘direct mana interference’.

At that time, Rize’s gaze turned to the necklace in Aedrin’s hand.

The orange jewel on the necklace gave off a soft glow.

“aha.”

Rize said she understood, holding back a sneer.

she was sure

that artifact

It was clear that the interference of mana that melted the mana awl was the power contained in that necklace.
