I'm really not a top magician

It was also a light wave, but Aika Satiao won the game with just one move.

All the audience have a clear idea of who is stronger between Aika Sajo and Richard.

And Aika Sajo's more assertive performance severely slapped the faces of all the internet trolls present, including Olga.

Looking at Karina Alti who had been knocked unconscious by him, Aika Sajo felt regretful for using the sword of Kaihara.

I know it's too risky to use the Guaiyuan Sword in this battle.

But there is no way,

I'm really not in the mood to play with these people today...

"Oh my god, Sajo-senpai is so strong! She killed Karina Alti in an instant!"

"Yeah, yeah, I didn't see anything clearly and the game was over!"

"Sajo Aika is so amazing!"

"Everyone, stand up! Who here dares to call Satsuki Aige a loser? Get down from here!"

"That's right, I formatted my computer as soon as I got home!"

"You're just greedy for my body, you're so cheap!"

"I thought I'd always love Karina Aarti, but when I saw Sajo Aiga, I defected!"

"So love will disappear, right?"

For a moment, everyone in the Clock Tower began to marvel at how awesome Aika Sajo was.

Of course, the layman watches the excitement while the expert watches the details.

Because he had strong witnesses, Fareus was still able to enter and exit the competition venue at will. Standing at the front of the audience, he saw that this battle was not the crushing victory it appeared on the surface:

"Actually, in terms of performance, Karina Alti isn't much worse than Richard or Sajo Aika. Even though she comes from a poor family and is often criticized for her basic magic skills, often even appearing to be significantly worse than the other three, in actual combat, this girl has fought her way through the battlefields of the Middle East. Her practical experience is beyond the imagination of others."

Fareus commented with a smile on his face.

However, after hearing Fareus's comments, everyone felt confused: "Teacher Fareus, why do you say that?"

A student in the crowd asked a question.

"Because this girl underestimated her opponent, she was led into the rhythm of Sajo Aige from the very beginning."

"It's like two trucks with identical performance, one starts slowly, the other explodes into action. This girl is no match for Sajo Aika, but it's not her fault. As a mercenary, judging whether an opponent is an enemy is crucial. Even if she makes a mistake, she still has to make that judgment. If she crosses that line, she'll become a killer, or even a perverted butcher."

"Although I don't quite understand the reason, Sajo Aika definitely used some means to make Karina Alti misjudge that Sajo Aika is not an enemy."

"It can be said that the competition in this king selection meeting is proceeding according to the rhythm of Sajo Aika, and this is her most terrifying aspect."

Phareus constantly praised Aigo's intelligence.

"So Sajo Aika is so amazing! I suddenly realized I'm just a burden in this world."

"As long as you understand!"

"As expected, there are differences between people, so I won't be a human anymore, Senior Sister!"

"Wait! What are you talking about? I don't understand anything!"

"I don't understand either? Can someone explain it to me again?"

"What's there to explain? I've already understood everything!"

"What did you realize?"

"I've realized I'm useless. I'm not worthy of learning magic!"

"I think so!"

For a moment, everyone in the Clock Tower was filled with emotion. They suddenly felt that it was the same as if they had not learned any magic at all. However, when they saw that there were people around them who were worse than themselves, they suddenly felt much better.

"how so!"

Olga couldn't believe Sajo Aika's victory. "Impossible! This guy is obviously a liar, how can he be so strong! How is it possible!"

Olga could never understand how this false god could be so powerful!

"that is the truth."

Carlos Carter, standing nearby, said with a lack of interest, "I don't know what happened between you and Aika Satiao, and I don't care. But in my opinion, anyone who dares to label Aika Satiao an incompetent liar is simply the biggest idiot in the world. You're just a coward who, due to your own weakness, tries to blame everything on others."

Looking at Olga's desperate expression,

Carlos Carter left. He had just finished watching the game and wanted to leave this damn place as soon as possible.

After all, Sajo Aika is a devil!

Chapter 111 Investigation

After sending Aika Sajo away, Luna began investigating Rafe's death.

According to Lisa's description,

Yesterday evening, Lisa found Leif in his room. He looked very pale, as if he was ill. At Lisa's persuasion, Leif was about to explain the truth he had uncovered to her, but at this moment, a projection suddenly appeared, interrupting their conversation...

"Wait a minute!" Luna interrupted Lisa's narration. "Are you saying the enemy's attack is a projection? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"I will never be wrong. After those weapons flew in, they disappeared automatically because they could not maintain their own form. This is definitely a projection!" Lisa said with certainty.

As a magician who earned the title of Deity through his research on projection, Luna was very sure that what Lisa described was projection magic.

"In other words, the murderer is a magician who is good at projection magic?" said a magician who assisted Luna.

"No, this must have been done intentionally by the murderer." Luna shook her head.

"What do you mean?" Lisa asked.

"Then according to what you said, the opponent's projection magic is simply unable to maintain its form for a long time. So from this point it can be seen that the murderer is not a guy who is very good at projection magic. At least his attainments in projection magic are not very high." Luna said.

"But everyone knows projection magic, so the search range will be very large. How long will it take to find the murderer?" Lisa shouted anxiously.

"Don't worry, Lisa! In fact, the clues of this incident are already obvious."

Luna smiled and said, "Our building is protected by a barrier erected by Lord El-Melloi. Any outsider entering requires a password. Even if they force their way in, Lord El-Melloi himself will know. I asked Lord El-Melloi, and he said there's no sign of the barrier being broken. In other words, the murderer is most likely one of our own. And someone who lives in this building."

When Luna said this, everyone at the scene looked at each other suspiciously, as if thinking that everyone might be the murderer. Finally, everyone turned their eyes to Luna.

Luna had expected the strange looks from outsiders. After all, among all the people traveling with her in the Clock Tower, only her projection magic was superior to others. It was normal for her to become the object of suspicion.

But this should also be the murderer's purpose.

And by using projection magic to commit the crime, he was probably trying to make everyone start to suspect him. But why did the murderer target him so much?

Luna quickly thought of Fareus. After all, she had been monitoring him these days, preventing him from taking any action. If she could get herself deeply involved in this case, Fareus would be completely free.

As for why Fareus was able to commit the crime under his surveillance?

After much thought, Luna concluded that he had accomplices.

"I believe Luna, she is definitely not the murderer!" Lisa Lisa also noticed everyone's gaze and immediately defended her friend.

"Then what evidence do you have that I'm not the murderer?" Luna asked Lisa before anyone else. Not only the others, but she was also curious about why Lisa believed her so much.

"Because I know that your projection is not a sword at all! But that person's projection is a sword!" Lisa said.

Luna froze.

This is the biggest secret of Luna's projection magic.

Although Richard had discovered the secret in the previous battle, the other party had no intention of exposing it. If the magician with a good eye was included, there should be no more than five people who knew the secret.

But Luna never expected that Lisa could see through the truth of her magic.

Although this sentence was a bit hurtful, as a friend for six years, Luna was still very clear about Lisa's attainments in magic. Although she was indeed talented in deconstruction magic,

But he could see through the truth without even touching his own projection. Even Luna didn't know about this talent.

It seems I really underestimated Lisa...

After hearing what Lisa said, those who still had doubts about Luna at the scene turned their attention away and shifted their focus back to the incident itself.

"Let me summarize. The murderer is one of our own who lives in this building. He is not good at projection magic and even tried to use this to frame Miss Luna." One of the magicians concluded.

"But these only narrow the scope, but we don't have the key evidence?" asked another magician.

"Actually, there's another clue."

Luna suddenly said, "Even if the other party's projection magic is terrible, if Lisa's description is correct, then the projection should have caused some damage to the scene. But why is there no trace of damage in this room?"

Everyone was stunned. Everyone focused their attention on the murderer, but they didn't realize that this room didn't look like the first crime scene at all.

There was no sign of fighting in the room, not even the most fragile wooden structure had any scars.

Luna noticed everyone's gazes and smiled. "This means that after killing Leif, the murderer returned and restored the room to its original state. You could even say that the murderer returned to destroy the evidence, but more importantly, he returned to destroy any clues Leif might have left behind."

Everyone suddenly understood, but immediately became confused again.

"But if the murderer really came back, why didn't he kill me who might know the truth?" Lisa asked.

Lisa's problem is everyone else's problem too.

Logically speaking, if the murderer came back specifically to eliminate clues, why didn't he kill Lisa, who might have left clues and even had a good chance of knowing the truth?

This is totally inconsistent with the murderer's logic, right?

However, Luna did not directly answer everyone's questions, but changed the subject:

"Mystery fiction has three elements: whodunit, howdunit, and whydunit. But for magicians, delving into the first two is meaningless. However, we can explore the last one—the motive for the crime."

"Since the murderer specifically returned to recover the scene and didn't kill Lisa, this means that the murderer's target was Leif, not Lisa. However, based on this behavioral logic, the murderer is not an assassin who completes the task and is done with it. Nor is he a fool; he possesses a certain level of criminal intelligence."

"So I speculate that the murderer didn't kill Lisa because in his subsequent plans, Lisa was the top priority and the key."

"If that's the case, as long as we protect Lisa and follow Lisa's clues, we can find clues to the murderer."

Listening to Luna's words, the light returned to Lisa's eyes.

ps: Reasoning is so difficult to write!

Chapter 112 Did Leif commit suicide? [Additional]

After hearing Luna's words, everyone was happy at first for finding the key clue, but after realizing the deeper problem, they immediately fell silent.

Lisa is not a fool. Although she has long lost her ability in magic, she is not a fool either. She also understands the meaning of Luna's words.

"Are you planning to use me as bait?" Lisa looked up at her good friend Luna.

Luna nodded: "This is the most effective method I can think of right now."

Luna didn't say anything more on her own behalf. After all, she couldn't come up with any high-sounding reasons or excuses for letting her friend act as bait.

Because this plan itself is full of dangers. After all, the enemy does not come from the outside and can be defended by relying on any barrier. The enemy inside may very well be your friends or servants. Lisa also has a deep understanding of this experience.

So Luna didn't choose to explain too much, leaving everything to Lisa. In fact, Luna didn't want Lisa to agree to this method. After all, she had just lost a friend because of her wrong choice, and she didn't want her friend to put herself in danger now. However, this plan was the most effective way when there was no clue at all.

"I understand." Lisa nodded. "If this is the best way to avenge the teacher, then I will be the bait."

"I understand. I will continue to investigate other clues of this incident. Please stay in a safe place and wait for my subsequent information." Luna nodded.

"I'm sorry, actually, this is something that should be done by me as your disciple. I always rely on you so much..." Lisa felt very ashamed about this. She wanted to say something else but Luna flicked her forehead.

"Pain Pain!"

"What are you talking about, Lisa? I am your best friend, but you are just like that. You are obviously a trouble maker, but you always keep it to yourself and don't tell us. In the end, you only realize that you are wrong when things get out of hand. You are always like this, which makes me feel a headache. But I still want to be friends with you for life, so you should learn to rely on me, Lisa, because you have tried very hard." Luna said.

Luna's last words were like a sledgehammer, shattering her heart.

From childhood to adulthood, except for Uncle Silver Whistle, no one was willing to lend a hand to her. Everyone treated her as a waste and avoided her as if she were a disease. Even when she met Mr. Leif, Luna and Senior Sister Sha Tiao,

She still felt fear around these geniuses. She was still afraid that her current useless self would hurt those she cared about.

"Luna, I'm so scared," Lisa threw herself into Luna's arms and burst into tears. "I'm so scared, I've always been so scared. I'm so scared to rely on you. I'm so scared that you will dislike me. I've always...always...always been so scared!"

Seeing this, the others also left the room tactfully.

Luna smiled and stroked Lisa's head: "Silly, how could I dislike you? Didn't I say that I want to be friends with you for life?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

……

After comforting the crying Lisa, Luna also came out of the room. Before coming out, she gave Lisa a gift outfit for asking for help.

As long as we inject magic power into it, we can ask Luna and Sajo Aika for help.
