Chapter 154 Ch 152: Revealing The Truth [Pt2]
Bernetta\'s surprised face looked back at Yohan when he pushed his knife deeper into her throat. There was a small line of red flowing out of her.
But despite all that, there was not a single change in her facial features. She still looked as calm and calm as she always had. The only thing that was different from her normal self was her nervous gulp.
"H-Hey, don\'t take my joke too seriously here. I can see that you love your sister very much so back off a little. I was just saying all this to get your attention."
Yohan did pull himself back but he did not drop his guard down. No matter how much Bernetta had thrown around that accusation as a joke, the mere fact she even guessed it was enough to make her an enemy.
\'Just great. I got rid of one person from my list and now another has been added to it. Will this senseless killing ever come to an end?\'
Yohan was tired of all the weird and useless people around him. He also realized that things had stopped going in his favor a while back.
"Fine, I will head you out for now. But don\'t you dare try anything funny."
Yohan allowed Bernetta to have a shot at what she wanted to say. He was sure that it was going to be insignificant in the end but he still felt responsible enough to hear her out.
Bernetta was finally about to say something when there was a commotion. The alarm rang all around them and they had no idea but to head toward the opposite exit.
"S-Save me-"
It was Marvis who seemed to be on his last breath but his eyes met Yohan\'s and he finally fell dead. Everyone around him cried out in panic but Yohan stayed back.
The less he interacted with this case, the better it would be for him. However, Bernetta could not stay back from this case. She was security personnel after all.
"Ok, everyone. Step back and let me check what happened. His condition looks normal but there is something heavy in his bloodstream that caused him to collapse. And I think it is a parasite. Oh god, do not come here."
Bernetta sounded serious and it was also in time for the principal to come running out of the door. The principal looked sick as soon as he noticed Marvis\'s dead face. It was another student who died.
But at the same time, the principal was glad that it was Marvis who died since he had signed a note that bared the academy and the principal from taking any responsibility.
"W-What is wrong with student Marvis? Why did he die?"
The principal asked, more for formality than actual knowledge. He did not care that someone was dead as long as it did not come to bite him back in the ass later.
"A blood parasite is the cause. We will need to disinfect the whole academy before it infects anyone else. Also, we will need to cancel the cultural festival since we will not have enough security available. You know, what the \'other things\' going on at the same time."
Everyone started gossiping as soon as they heard that the ceremony would be canceled. It would be the first time something like this would happen ever since the academy had been built.
Even the worse conditions had not forced the ceremony to be halted in the past century or so. So naturally, the principal was not ready to hear it.
"I-I am sure there is no need to cancel-"
"You either cancel the cultural festival or I will flag down this academy as unfit for teaching. It had violated quite a few laws already, don\'t you think?"
The principal went red at the threat and he realized that there was no way he was going to win from Bernetta. Especially once Shizue joined the mix and backed her partner up.
Yohan was interested to hear what they had to say but his focus was more on Liza and her terrified expression. She looked like her world was falling apart right at this second. And Yohan was ready to bet that she would crack soon.
As just as he had thought, Liza was the loudest one to protest against this. Her eyes were wide at the news and it looked as if she was about to heave a heart attack any moment now.
"You cannot do that to us. It is not fair that we will have to sit back out of the cultural festival just because a person died. What about all our preparations and the things we sacrificed for this one chance."
Yohan was personally surprised that Liza spoke up. He expected her to keep her silence for a little while longer. But it seemed like she was not able to in the end.
Everyone around Liza looked beyond surprised at her words. Even the principal looked green and white at the same time after hearing liza\'s words. And it seemed to be agitating for Liza as well.
But despite being faced with such hard looks, Liza did not back down. It was her one chance to set herself apart from everyone else and show her father that she was the superior child in the household. And for that, Liza was ready to sacrifice anything.
"This is not up for discussion missy. If you don\'t remember, this is the second death in a matter of days. When you combine it with the monster attack of yesterday, it all points toward a conspiracy. There is no way we can justify holding a cultural festival at this rate."
Liza bit her lips at Shizue\'s words and her eyes flashed. She looked ready to chew everyone alive and then spit in contempt. But she also knew when to back down.
Yohan watched Liza go through these phases with an amused expression on his face. His decision to now show himself was a good one in the end since it allowed him to observe everyone.
His good mood only heightened once he ready Sid\'s message about finding the biologist Yohan had requested of him. Things were going his way all of a sudden.
This day, was full of all kinds of twists and turns. And Yohan was excited to see where it would take him next. Especially since he was so close to his goal of finding the chaos chord and conquering this world.
\'Now I need to start preparing my army for the conquest. A lot of people are going to die now but it will be for a good cause. I should start with a graveyard first though.\'
Yohan\'s skills made him invincible but he needed to prepare a lot to make things work for himself. And that was something he was going to do. He had a lot left to do before he conquered this world.
"Everyone, go back to your rooms for safety purposes. There is a twisted killer on the lose, and we will do our best to catch them before anyone else gets hurt."
The principal ordered as everyone else panicked. Yohan, as he only one who knew the truth, was amused to see this happen.
Somehow, these unrelated incidents had managed to create an illusion of having only one person behind it and Yohan was interested to see where this theory would go next. He was about to head back as well when he was stopped by Bernetta again.
"So, I don\'t think we got to finish out talk from earlier."
