A light blue light shot out, forming a giant display screen that allowed everyone in the courtyard of Vrselkin Academy to watch without exception.
Which made Gray, Ruichi, Tom, Jian Yi, Jia, Brevica, Lucy, Armin, Seok, and Beatrice look at each other with features of a mixture of shock, disbelief, doubt, and wariness.
As for the students and professors who hated Yuuta and the Brezek family, they looked on with unimaginable smiles and ecstasy.
\[As Edward was heading towards Jigua Island, he felt a strange feeling sweeping over him. Suddenly, he felt that there was someone watching him with bad intentions.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he held the hilt of his sword, ready for any surprise attack.
Applause...applause....applause.
A loud applause sounded from above one of the roots of the Origin Tree Gu.
He raised his head towards the place where the sound was coming from, with a look full of caution.
He found a young man with black hair interspersed with some white strands, and dark violet eyes, wearing practical black clothes.
A look of surprise appeared on Edward's face as he looked towards the person who was Yuta, sitting on one of the roots of the Origin Tree Gu.
"Yuta Caseral, the top-ranked student in the entrance exam and written exam. What an honor to meet a rising star like you!"
"Cold Star of the Sky, Yuta Caseral, nice to meet you. My name is Edward Brezek, from Brezek County in the Eastern Empire of Man."
Edward's tone was full of respect and reverence towards Yuta, who was looking at him from one of the tree roots without saying anything.
Yuta got up from his place while looking at Edward with a small smile on his face that concealed many things.
"What brings you, Master Edward, to the Origin Tree Gu? Is there something here that you want to obtain, for example?"
Edward felt shock and awe sweeping through his heart after hearing Yuta's words, but he did not show it on his face. Rather, his features remained calm, as if what Yuta said had no basis in truth.
Yuta laughed out loud while talking to Edward:
"Haha, really interesting, Mr. Edward. You're really interesting, but I want to ask you something, if you agree."
Yuta's voice was kind of high-pitched as he looked towards Edward, who was upset but didn't show it.
Edward spoke in a calm tone, answering Yuta's question:
"Yes, Mr. Yuta Caseral, I have no objection to asking you what you want."
A cold smile appeared on Yuta's lips after hearing Edward's response, only to disappear from his spot.
There were signs of shock on Edward's face, because he did not realize how Yuta had moved from his place, so he looked around, trying to find where Yuta had gone, to smell Yuta's scent while he directed his sword in an offensive position and released his aura without any suppression.
While Edward was trying to find Yuta's location with a very cautious expression, Yuta suddenly appeared in front of him.
Edward's face turned into confusion as he looked towards Yuta who appeared out of nowhere.
"How do you feel now that I have become a step I can cross to achieve my goals?"
Edward had a look of shock and disbelief on his face, as he had never sensed Yuta's presence or approach, and that left only one thing on his mind: attacking Yuta. However, Yuta didn't allow Edward any chance to do anything, having pinned him down like a damaged doll.
He placed his finger on Edward's forehead, and a powerful light emanated from the middle of it, causing a small explosion that shattered Edward's skull into pieces.
The remains of the skull, blood, brain filling, eyes, and tongue were flying through the air with great force, reaching several metres.
He fell to the ground, and blood flowed from his head like a fountain, covering Yuta's clothes and his entire face.
Even though he killed him in front of the entire world, he didn't care about it at all. His facial features were cold and indifferent to Edward's body that was next to him, so he threw it with great force towards a giant rock.
Boommm...boommm.
A small explosion occurred that shook the place as soon as Edward's body collided with a giant rock the size of an average house, filling the place with thick dust.\]
Everyone's shocked looks turned to Yuta, who was also shocked as he looked towards the rune spell that showed everything that had happened that day.
He directed his gaze towards both Tae Hoon and his granddaughter, Tae Chung Ah, who were smiling a provocative smile of victory, then he directed his gaze towards everyone, focusing on the features of their faces.
On the other hand, Gowther, Reinhardt, Solifer, Giba, and Beatrice were all looking at Yuta suspiciously, it was impossible for him to be put into a corner.
However, who he was facing was the world's most famous detective, Tae Hun, who had hundreds of years of experience investigating complex and difficult crimes, and was able to solve them with complete ease.
Tae Chung-Ah said contemptuously while looking at Yuta, whose appearance was pitiful:
"You were confident a little while ago, but now I see you like a dog wagging its tail in disappointment and failure."
"You have been caught with clear evidence, Mr. Yuta Caseral, of killing Edward. Moreover, many students and professors have testified that you threatened them to take their money, and even beat them up. This is why you will remain in the prison of the Tai Clan for a very long time."
Yuta didn't say a word, and kept looking at her without saying anything, which made her realize that he was very shocked, as he did not expect, for her, that they had recordings of the incident.
This made her self-confidence increase, as she was the one who came up with the idea in the first place.
Yuta raised both hands, silencing everyone before they could even say a word.
A hysterical laugh erupted from him, leaving everyone shocked for a moment, before their contempt for him increased, thinking that he would reveal his true face.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
He spoke in a high sarcastic tone, so everyone could hear him, while looking at them with a warm crimson glow coming out of his eyes:
"Well done, Mr. Tae Hun and Mrs. Tae Chung Ah. You did a great job investigating the case and showing me who the killer was."
"Yes, I killed Edward Brezek. He was a pathetic, contemptible bastard who thought he was invincible and could do whatever he wanted. What's wrong with that? Killing a lowly bug is fine. Why are you so angry? Ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"
Signs of anger appeared on Tai Chung Ah's face as she looked towards Yuta Caseral, whom she had come to despise even more than before.
However, Yuta showed no interest or desire to hear what he considered to be useless chatter.
He cleared his throat forcefully while looking at her for several seconds, which was enough to strike fear into her heart and make her return to her grandfather's side while she was in an attacking position.
However, Yuta did not show any interest, speaking in a calm tone as he adjusted his clothes:
"Since you've made your point, it's time for my turn to prove my claim."
Signs of anger appeared on Tae Chung Ah's face as she looked at him:
"Prove what? You yourself just admitted that you killed Edward Brezek. You are only contradicting yourself, and this proves your claim false."
"Yes, she's right. You're just scum who deserves to be in prison for life."
"You scum of society, die! People like you should not be alive."
"Even though the evidence is in front of your eyes, you are still stubborn. You are a walking pile of filth!"
"Just kill him, and let us rest from his evils. Today he killed a comrade, and tomorrow he will slit our throats to become one of the most dangerous fighters who follow the demonic path."
"Master Tae Hun, arrest him and give him the punishment he deserves. He killed my son Edward."
"Yes, he killed my fellow human being, and he deserves to die for it."
"You killed my younger brother, and you deserve to die! I want to kill you with my own hands, you scum!"
.............
............
............…
...............…
Insults were raining down on him from all sides, yet he paid no attention.
For him, paying attention to what the people around him say will never make him progress, so the decision to ignore them was the best option for him.
Speaking in a calm tone while looking towards Academy City, Solliver:
"Mr. Solliver, can you show them the truth that still lies in the dark, so that we can see the light and know who the hero and villain are here?"
Solifer didn't say anything, as he pumped mana into Kuno's gem, and a light blue light shot out, forming a giant display screen that allowed everyone in the courtyard of Versalkin Academy to watch without exception.
Which made the gazes of Tae Hun, his granddaughter, the Brizek family, the Yuta comrades, the ruler of the Dragon World Afrius, the ruler of the Alaite World Julius, the heads of the empires, the grand duchies, the great clans and sects, and the rest of the important figures, including the Sword Saint, turn to him with different and varying emotions.
\[Edward turned to one of the students of the Legends class, who was the second person in terms of strength after him, as he had reached the rank of Master only three days ago, and the rest of them were from the peak rank of Legends at the maximum, to the rank of SSS++ at the lowest.
A look of astonishment appeared on the student's face as he looked at Edward Brezek, whose killing intent was aggressively emanating from his body every second.
"Mr. Edward Brezek, is there something that's starting to scare me?"
The young man's tone of voice held some tension due to Edward's silence and the killer aura surrounding him.
As he carried his sword, dripping with blood of sickly green, red, and rotting yellow, forming a path wherever he went.
Shalach!
Edward's sword shot out at great speed, making a soft hissing sound as it sliced through the student's neck.
To cut off that student's head easily.
The tense look turned into disbelief and indignation, which remained etched on the student's face as his head fell into a hole filled with blood.
Making the sound of his head falling into a small pool filled with blood.
hearts!
The student's body fell to its knees after his head fell into the pool, while warm crimson blood flowed abundantly from his neck like a fountain, filling Edward's clothes and body with a crimson red dye made of fresh and warm blood.
The students' features turned into shock, awe, and fear of death, as they looked towards Edward, who was looking at his system without concern for their situation.
The mission's reward and the system's message were like oil on the fire, which made his desire to carry out the mission stronger than it was, which was to obtain the student's belongings and then convert them into contribution points by selling them to the system. This made him sure that it would be the perfect crime altogether, and moreover, there were countless benefits that made his desire stronger by the second.
"What did you do, Edward Brezek? Are you crazy? Why did you kill him?"
"You vile bastard, you better stop your actions, or else you will receive punishment from Versalkin Academy!"
"You pile of filth, do you want to kill us after we trusted you and helped you all the previous days? Is this how you return the favor, you stinky ungrateful bastard?"
"You'd better surrender. Even though you killed Bao Xin, you did so by accident. You won't be able to kill us because of the teleportation feature that will take us to the academy."
"Yes, my comrade is right. When we are in serious condition we will move to Versalkin Academy and tell the supervisors about your dirty deeds!"
...........
........
........
........
......
Edward kept listening to the insults that the students of Versalkin Academy were hurling because they were confident that they would not die, thanks to the teleportation spell that would transport them to safety. That's why they had such audacity towards Edward who was silent.
He did not respond with a single word.
Edward's face was cold, not from fear or worry, but from pure confidence that he would not face any trouble due to the disaster that would befall Jigua Island, which he discovered through the fifth mission of the midterm exam series.
A cold smile appeared on his face while his eyes glowed with a cold glow, causing him to laugh loudly after hearing their words, which to him were just funny jokes:
"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"
Signs of astonishment appeared on the students' faces as they looked at Edward, laughing like a madman.
"Has he lost his mind?"
"I don't know, but he's getting uncomfortable. We need to leave."
"You're right. We still have thirty minutes before the midterm begins, and this will be an ugly stain that will never go away, and we will lose our reputation as students of Versalkin Academy in the eyes of the world."
The students, who numbered 43, began talking among themselves. However, none of them concealed their caution, for they were sure of one thing, that they would not last long against Edward.
The power difference was too great. He was the strongest person among them at the peak Legends rank, and Edward was currently at the Supreme Demon Lord rank. The difference between them was seven Giant Ranks compared to their strongest, and more than ten Giant Ranks compared to the weakest student among them.
Although they did not know Edward's true level of strength, they felt that a single blow from his sword blade would be enough to kill them.
"Have you finished your chatter? You're really pathetic. Relying on the strength of Versalkin Academy, really?"
"Whoever has arrogance and arrogance from a power that does not belong to him is the first person to die in this world."
"And you will die today. As for the spell you rely on to survive, I disabled it a long time ago."
Everyone's faces turned to horror, and seemed blackened as they looked at Edward, remembering what had happened in the past days, and the good and kind treatment he had treated them with, even though he was so much stronger than them.
"You tricked us! You were planning to kill us from the beginning, right, Edward Brezek?"
The tone of the student from the Mythology class was filled with horror and disbelief.
This made everyone look towards Edward with more fear than they already had.
"Yes, I was planning to do that from the beginning. However, I didn't think I would be able to fool you so easily. You seem like a bunch of fools after all."
Edward spoke rudely and mocked them, then he pointed his sword at them after throwing Bao Shen's headless body, hitting a tree, and a slight hissing sound came out, then the sound of something breaking, which was the bones of Bao Shen's body due to the strong impact with that tree that was shattered into pieces.
Everyone except Edward turned their attention to Bao Shen's headless body, which was completely mutilated, so much so that even his family members could hardly tell who it was.
Without thinking for a second, the students ran away in different directions, knowing that staying for even a second would completely end their lives.
Edward was looking at them running for their lives with a cold smile, which had some sarcasm in it.
To mutter in a low voice:
"Slavery Pill, activate!"
"Slaves, I order you to stop immediately!"
At the students who had fled, a faint red light appeared in the middle of their bodies, making them stiff in place without any ability to move, falling twenty steps away from the location of an SS-rank dungeon.
There were signs of utter shock on their faces, because they realized that they had taken a slavery pill that made everyone who took it a slave to the owner of the pill.
............
.........…
......…
Meanwhile, Edward was heading towards them with steady steps.
With a smile full of killing desire, while releasing his aura and killing intent without suppression, even if just a little.
"He…he is of the rank of Supreme Demon Lord!"
The tone of the student from the regular class was full of terror, before Edward cut him in half.
"What...what?!"
The upper part of the student's body fell to the ground, filled with the blood of the monsters they had killed earlier, making the sound of his body hitting the ground.
This made the students' hearts stop, to the point that they forgot how to breathe.
After several seconds, blood shot out of the remaining part like a fountain, with the remains of the food he had eaten for breakfast from his intestines seeming to dance.
"Let's get this over with quickly, I'm so bored."
Edward's tone of voice was full of disdain as he spoke to them.
But they did not answer him, as the shock prevented them from breathing, let alone responding to Edward's provocation.
Edward muttered in a low voice as he looked at the students:
Then time stopped, and Edward walked with light steps while dismembering the bodies of the students in horrific ways. He cut off parts of their brains to reveal gray cerebral filling, and some parts of the upper halves of their heads, and turned some of them into small pieces.
The corpses of the students were extremely hideous.
The appearance of the corpses was horrific, enough to crush and strike terror into the hearts of even the hardest of people.
After Edward killed all the students, time began to return to its usual flow.
"Hahahaha, they wanted to eat me and live behind my back. What a bunch of idiots!"
"Sometimes even the Rat thinks he's king when the Cat's not around."
Edward spoke in a tone full of contempt and sarcasm towards the bodies of the students, then directed his gaze towards the system window that appeared announcing the completion of the mission.\]
Signs of shock appeared on everyone's faces as they watched the video.
Solliver, who had moved to Yuta Caseral's side, spoke in a calm and firm tone as he looked towards Edward's family, Tae-hun, and his granddaughter, Tae Chung-ah:
"I know the video is very long, too much, but Yuta Caseral insisted on showing it without deleting a single scene from the beginning of the fight to the end."
"As for those who filmed it, they were the professors in charge, because the surveillance cameras had not yet reached that area, and this is what encouraged Edward to kill 55 students from different classes, and the students are currently in the rehabilitation center before they are returned to their families as they are expelled, like other students who died at that time."
"That's why Yuta killed Edward because he took retribution for the other students and prevented a possible catastrophe that might befall our world. He was the hero who took all the blame for the sake of humanity and the rest of the races."
Both Tae Hun and his granddaughter Tae Chung Ah had looks of shock on their faces as they watched the table return to Yuta Caseral's side.
He seemed to accept defeat a little while ago, but now he appears as an oppressed hero in the eyes of the people. Moreover, the Vrselkin Academy and its director did not need support from anyone, as it was considered one of the most powerful superpowers ruling the world.
Edward's brother attacked Utah with the intention of killing, while his facial features were filled with blind anger, because their goal was to obtain Utah's technology companies, but they failed, which made both of his parents look at him in shock.
His behavior was foolish, even if Yuuta killed him, it would be considered self-defense and nothing more.
"I will kill you, you vile bastard! You should have gone to prison and we should have enjoyed your company and lived a beautiful, comfortable life!"
A malicious smile appeared on Yuta's face as he listened to my brother Edward's words, and shock appeared on everyone's features and anger appeared on the features of both Tae Hun and Tae Chung Ah, because they looked like fools in front of everyone, and all this because of the Brezek family's greed.
While my brother Edward's sword was close to his neck, Yuta inserted his hand into his stomach, taking it out from the other side, then pulled it out again, and Edward's brother fell dead without Yuta making any effort to kill him.
A deep sigh escaped from Tae Hoon's mouth as he looked at Yuta cautiously, and spoke in his heart in a tone full of hatred:
"He possesses a deep-rooted devilish nature. His actions do not stem from someone following the righteous path, but rather the devilish path."
However, he had to accept reality as it was, so he went straight towards Yuta, bowing to him as a sign of apology, while speaking loudly for everyone to hear:
"We apologize for the tarnishing we did to you, and the Tai Clan is ready to fulfill any request."
A slight smile appeared on Yuta's face as he listened to Tae-Hun's words, and he spoke in a calm tone:
"Anything that's not something that can be said easily, though, that's okay. It was your job, and I feel proud that there are people like you keeping the world at peace. As for compensation..."
Then he spoke out loud while pointing his finger at what was left of the Brezek family:
"I demand that the Brezek family be punished for wanting to take away my companies for their enjoyment. I want the law to take away my rights from them."
Both Gowther and Sulliver's looks were filled with astonishment as they heard Yuuta speak his truth; Someone who could burn a world and everyone on it for his own selfish interests, now says he wants the law to take back his rights from those who wronged him.
However, Gowther was aware that he killed Edward for the resources that were within his system and his own wing, which he made a main wing after making Edward's system devoid of any iota of resources, and sacrificing him in order to obtain a second main wing that violated a law existing in it. However, he decided to ignore the matter because it did not concern him in the first place. Edward's death or survival is unimportant, and will do him no good, except that he has become more wary of Yuta. However, remember that his system is almost useless and devoid of the resources and abilities granted by a regular system. The McTeer family's tasks replace the tasks of the regular system in other novels. "Of course, we will do you justice, and we apologize again for that, Mr. Yuta Caseral," Tae Hun said while clenching his fist as a sign of respect. "It's okay, I forgive you, Mr. Tae Hun, and you too, Ms. Tae Chung Ah. However, you were great at doing your job as investigators. Your self-confidence will make you good investigators, but you have to look from the viewpoints of everyone, the killer and the murdered, to find out the truth about the ruler and not oppress anyone." Tae Chung-ah remained silent for several minutes out of embarrassment. She had embarrassed herself in front of everyone, and on top of that, the one she had insulted praised and advised her, making a feeling of guilt enter her heart. Several hours passed after the incident, in Yuta's bedroom, who was lying on his bed while looking at the egg that was in the city governor's office. Yospeckers, Yetanislav August Poniatowski. He spoke in a tender tone while stroking the egg, which was completely different from the shape of dragon eggs in this world, as it was larger, more majestic and powerful: "Header Lena, my cute child, there is not much time left before you are born and see the world and make me happy, Papa." Yuta kissed her and placed her in her room, in her own bed in the spiritual world. He then lay down on his bed to sleep, After he eliminated the obstacle that was in his way, and made the same hero of the story show the world that he is not someone you can make your enemy and expect to live a beautiful life.
