I'm really not a top magician

"Charlie's magic is indeed powerful, but Sandbar can still deal with it, so we don't have to worry too much." Leif said

Lisa became excited and stood up and asked, "What about the last assassination?"

"So you've been worried about this all along." Leif sighed with emotion. He was silent for a long time, as if he was organizing his words. But at the end, he said a few words:

"sorry that I had you worried."

Lisa didn't know what expression should appear on her face, or what expression she had already shown. She had no idea. She only knew that after this apology, her previous worries had long since dissipated, and she had made up her mind.

"I want to investigate with you, teacher!" Lisa said seriously.

Rafe stared into her eyes, trying to find a trace of cowardice on her face, but at this moment, Lisa's eyes were more powerful than she usually was.

After an unknown amount of time, Leif finally sighed and said, "I really can't do anything about you. Well, I'll tell you the results of my recent investigation. But after you listen to it, you must absolutely obey my instructions and arrangements from now on. Never, ever act rashly!"

"I understand!" Lisa was obviously very excited to see the teacher agree.

"In fact, the mastermind behind this incident is..."

Before Leif could finish his words, he heard the sound of breaking windows. In an instant, countless weapons flew in from outside and shot at Leif and Lisa.

Leif reacted quickly and lifted the table to block the attacks.

"It seems that the other party has seized the opportunity quite accurately..." Leif complained.

"Teacher, I'm here to help too!"

"no!"

"But I..."

"Absolutely not!"

The teacher, who had previously agreed, suddenly changed his mind after the sudden attack. Lisa was about to say something else, but she suddenly felt dizzy and seemed about to pass out.

"It seems the medicine is working." Leif stood up and muttered.

Lisa didn't understand at all, but the teacher continued, "I'm sorry, Lisa, this is the last time."

After saying this, Leif carefully straightened his clothes, as if he was about to face a solemn ceremony.

He lifted the table to block the flying weapons and rushed out.

Lisa just felt her consciousness slowly fading away, slowly sinking into darkness.

"do not go!"

"do not go!"

"don't want……"

Before she knew it, she lost consciousness.

When she woke up, it was already early morning the next day and the sun had not yet fully risen.

Lisa hurried out of the room to look for Rafe's whereabouts, and woke up many people who were sleeping.

But no one knew why Lisa was so anxious.

Until she accidentally passed by the church,

She saw—

Rafe was crucified!

"what--!"

ps: I am also starting to speed up the pace of the second volume recently.

ps: I wonder how many people have already guessed this plot.

Chapter 107 If you dare to touch her, I will kill you!

"what--!"

Lisa's voice echoed in the air.

Everyone who had been complaining about Lisa being woken up just a second ago suddenly became alert after hearing such a scream, and all got up and rushed to the church.

Luna was the last to arrive at the scene because she had been staring at Fareus. At first, when she saw Lisa frantically looking for someone, she thought it was just a trivial matter like usual.

But after hearing the scream just now, Luna realized that something seemed wrong, so she rushed to the scene immediately.

When I entered the church, what caught my eye was indeed the death of a man.

The man's hands were nailed to the sides of the cross, and his body was nailed to the cross by a huge sword piercing his abdomen.

At the foot of the cross, Lisa was calling out to the body of the man on it.

Seeing how Leif died, Luna couldn't help but lower her head.

Who did it?

Since you have encountered the enemy, why not use the gift to ask for help?

A large number of questions surged in Luna's head, giving her a headache. She initially thought it was Fareus, but as luck would have it, she had been monitoring Fareus all day yesterday, and he had never left her sight.

Is it because of my misjudgment?

Actually, the enemy is not Phareus?

However, as soon as this idea popped up in her head, it was rejected by Luna. Judging from all the previous signs, Fareus was undoubtedly the most likely suspect.

But the problem is, if Fareus was an enemy, he was under my surveillance the whole day yesterday. In other words, I was his witness to a certain extent. So who killed Leif here during this period?

Just as Luna was still racking her brains to figure out who the murderer was, a snake-like voice came from behind her:

"What are you doing? What are you yelling about so early in the morning?"

Fareus' voice echoed throughout the church, and the voices of everyone present, including Lisa who was still crying, disappeared, and the scene fell into silence.

"Hey! Lecturer Fareus, stop talking."

"Yeah, yeah, at a time like this, you should also check the atmosphere!"

"Really? Just look at it and you'll know."

For a moment, many people lowered their voices, intentionally or unintentionally reminding Fareus to be careful with his words at this time.

Fareus looked along the line of defense that everyone was talking about, and saw Leif, the mentor who once taught him magic, who was nailed to the cross. The corners of his mouth rose again, revealing a snake-like smile.

"What? I thought it was a big deal, but it turns out it's just someone's death..."

Fareus spoke lightly, as if the person who was killed was not his mentor who once taught him magic, but a stranger.

Everyone at the scene was completely dumbfounded when they heard this. Although the relationship between Fareus and Leif was very bad, Fareus often used words like "my mentor" to describe Leif. Everyone thought that the bad relationship was just superficial. In fact, Fareus was still full of gratitude to Leif.

But when they saw Fareus's rude remarks in front of Leif's corpse, everyone realized that Fareus actually didn't care about Leif at all.

When Leif's words reached Lisa's ears, Lisa looked at her senior brother Fareus indifferently, with a resolute expression on her face that she had never had before.

She suddenly remembered what Luna had said to her:

Be careful - Phareus,

Especially - when Leif goes out alone.

"It's you! It's you who did it!" Lisa roared angrily, and then she tried her best to rush towards Fareus with a sharp weapon in her hand, as if she wanted to kill him at this moment to avenge Leif.

Everyone was shocked by Lisa's reaction, because no one present had ever seen Lisa show such a vicious and impulsive look. Before, when Lisa was in the Clock Tower, she was the second worst nice person after Leif.

But who could have thought that at this moment, when she only suspected that Fareus might be the murderer, she would immediately become so ferocious. Everyone's impression of Lisa as weak and incompetent has changed at this moment.

However, facing Lisa's blade, Fareus still did not move. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, like the smile of a poisonous snake facing its prey.

Just when the blade was about to hit Fareus' heart, Lisa felt a huge force coming from the blade that stopped the movement directly, and the tip of the blade stopped in front of Fareus' clothes on his chest.

When Lisa looked up, she saw that the person holding the knife was Luna.

"Luna, why?" Lisa was puzzled. When she wanted revenge the most, she never expected that her best friend would stop her.

"Because this guy is innocent!" Luna held Lisa's knife tightly, and blood kept dripping from her palm.

But Lisa had already lost her mind: "Luna, I told you to get out of the way!"

Lisa kept exerting force with both hands, hoping that the tip of the knife could pierce Fareus' body, but the huge force from the knife made Lisa's knife keep retreating.

"I'm sorry, I was monitoring this guy all day yesterday. She is innocent." Luna told Lisa the reason with great difficulty.

After she finished speaking, Luna felt the strength in her hands begin to weaken. Looking back, she saw Lisa slumped on the ground with a confused look on her face.

Following Luna's eye signal, the people around her quickly understood and pulled the distraught-looking Lisa out of the temple.

As they left, anyone with a bit of common sense at the scene realized that this matter was no longer something that outsiders like them could intervene in, so most of them dispersed.

"I'm sorry, Miss Luna, my junior sister has caused you trouble..."

After the others had stepped away, Fareus spoke coldly, but there was no trace of apology in his tone.

"Fareus..."

Luna had a long sword in her hand at some point, the tip of the blade pointing, "You just wanted to kill Lisa, didn't you?"

"Ah, what are you talking about?" Fareus slowly closed his outstretched index finger.

"I'm telling you, if you dare to attack Lisa, I will kill you!" Luna warned.

"Oh, that's scary. Be careful and don't let the bad guys get close to her, or I'll use self-defense."

As Fareus was about to leave, he turned back to look at Luna.

"By the way, Miss Luna, I have another suggestion for you. Don't be too arrogant, otherwise it will seem that you lack confidence."

After saying that, Fareus left the scene arm in arm.

Chapter 108 Regret and Move Forward

In order to prevent Lisa from losing control of her emotions, everyone had to keep her as far away from Fareus as possible, and at Luna's suggestion, temporarily protected her in the room.

"Shatiao, can I talk to you about Leif's matter?" Luna walked up to Shatiao Aige and asked.

"Okay. What do you want to know?" asked Aika Sajo.

Compared to everyone's previous regret about Leif's death, Aika Sajo is now more confused and puzzled.

Because according to the timeline of FGO, if Leif had not witnessed Chaldea's artificial experiments, after combining with the Demon Pillar, he would still choose to believe in humans and commit suicide to save the world.

But now it is 1994, and even the Fourth Holy Grail War has not yet begun. According to the theory of world line convergence, it is not time for Leif to die yet.

But why did Rafe die in 1994?

And Leif, who possesses the Demon Pillar, should not be someone that an ordinary person can kill, right?

This question has been lingering in Aika Sajo's mind since the moment she saw Leif die.

But no matter how much Aika Sajo thought about it, she couldn't come up with an answer. She always felt that the impact of the flapping of her butterfly wings was a bit too great.

"I'm not here to ask you for information. I just have a request and I hope you can agree to it." Luna said.

Aika Satiao could see that Luna's eyes were full of regret, pain and anger, so Aika Satiao nodded.

"So what is your request?" asked Aika Sajo.

"I hope that this incident will be left to me alone to investigate, while you, Shatiao, focus on the competition." Luna said.

"It's actually not difficult to let you investigate alone. After all, the murderer is still unknown. As Lisa's friend, it's of course best for you to investigate this incident. But... do you think I'm the kind of person who would sit back and watch, and compete in this situation?"

Aika Shajo was a little annoyed.

She wasn't annoyed by Luna's misunderstanding of her, but what annoyed her most was actually lamenting her own powerlessness. Although she came to this world, she could change many things with her luck as a time traveler and her foresight.

But this is the real world after all, not a game. After a year in the Clock Tower, Aika Sajo actually doesn't have many friends. The main reason is that no one has ever treated her as an ordinary and normal person.

Because she doesn't have many close friends, Sajo Aika is more friendly and approachable to those around her: Luna, Rafe, Lorelei, Lisa, and Webber.

We are all living people. We have been together for so long. If you suddenly hear that your friend has passed away, no matter who you are, you will be sad.

Aigo Shatiao felt sad from the bottom of her heart. Ever since she first heard about Leif from Luna, she had created that kind of ceremonial sword that could be used to call for help. Her purpose was to hope that Leif could rely on her friends at the critical moment. Even if he might become a Demon Pillar in the future, Aigo Shatiao still regarded him as a friend.

But unexpectedly, Leif still died...

If she had been more capable, Leif might not have died. If she had truly been a Grand Master Magician, Leif might not have died. If she had truly been the Root Princess who connected to the Root, as the outsiders had said, Leif would definitely not have died.

Luna also noticed the look in Sajo Aika's eyes. She clenched her fists, her eyes burning with fire. She gritted her teeth and said, "I understand how you feel, and I also understand that you are not that kind of person. But this king selection must go on, and you are the key to Fareus's plan."

"Plan? What does that mean?" asked Aika Sajo.

"I'm just making a rough guess. Fareus's goal is probably the King's Choice itself, or you. No matter what he wants from this King's Choice, the key is to continue the competition. The enemy's goal is now very clear. If we choose to withdraw from the competition, the enemy will be in the dark and we will be in the light, making it even more difficult to catch the murderer. Only by continuing the competition can the enemy be revealed. Then, it will be your stage!"
