Chapter 88 Because I Can See the Future

Why dont you just go back to your room?

A woman with a veil-like red bob, who looked like a personification of a rose, blocked my way.

Janet.

Janet Franz.

She was the second-place qualifier in the preliminaries. 

She was a student who was active as a leader in the Celestial Blessing.

She smiled brightly when I called her name.

Im honored that you know me. Hows your preparation for the hunting competition? Theres only a few days left.

I dont have much to prepare.

Huhu. Is that so? But, Im a bit worried that someone might doubt the high reputation of Udit Thats what concerns me.

Our eyes met in the air.

Youre hiding your identity and attending the academy, right? I think it would be better for you to keep quiet until the hunting competition is over. What do you think?

Janet had a very friendly face, but I knew that her smile was for Scarlet.

Oh, of course, I understand how boring it is to be alone in your room. I get it.

I looked at her slowly.

She wasnt very tall, but she had a solid presence that showed her excellent aura.

So, if youre too bored to bear it, Ill come and talk to you. I dont know how to converse with a mage, but itll be better than being alone.

She acted like she was taking care of a newborn baby. 

Janet seemed relaxed.

If I had more time, I would have given her a non-verbal response, but I was very busy right now.

Lets act a little more mature. At least, dont do anything that would bother Miss Scarlet Flan, are you listening to me?

She asked me again when I didnt show any interest in the conversation.

Not really.

Huhu. I see. Well, Ill say one more thing.

Whatever Janet said, I looked around for Isolde. 

She was gone.

I tried to sense the witchs magic. 

The magic that was unruly and sticking out in all directions.

But I couldnt detect it.

When the hunting competition is over, the secret agreement of the media will end too. Then, the academy will also know that youre Udits man. You should think about whether that will be a benefit or a loss for you.

Meanwhile, Janet kept talking. 

I felt annoyed when I realized that Isolde had disappeared.

If you win, it might be a benefit for you. But, Celestial Blessing has no intention of giving up the victory.

Janet.

I approached her and whispered quietly.

In the social club, barking pets are not allowed.

?

She didnt understand my words and actions before I continued.

Scarlet. Take your pet back.

!

It was as if time had stopped at that moment.

Everyone in this space was very surprised by the way I treated Janet and Scarlet.

Everyones eyes were fixed on me, and soon Scarlets eyes slowly turned to me.

Anger flickered like a flame in Scarlets eyes, but promises exist to be kept.

She couldnt interfere with anything I did.

Five seconds. 

Ten seconds. 

At the end of the silence that seemed eternal.

Come on. Theres no need to deal with that guy.

Scarlet said briefly to Janet. 

Thanks to that, the faces of the others became more interesting.

Janet looked at Scarlet and me alternately with a bewildered expression.

But soon she bowed politely to Scarlet and withdrew neatly.

I will do as you say, sir.

I also left behind the others. 

I intended to find Isolde while looking around the second floor.

Maybe it was because Scarlets eyes were not on the second floor, but as soon as I arrived, some of them rushed in as if they had been waiting.

Oh, can I ask you a few things? If you could spare me some time

Is there any chance we can make an appointment

The requests of those who approached were diverse.

There was curiosity about me, and something close to a favor But still, the questions about Scarlet were the most.

I ignored them all and went through the second floor to the third floor, where there were few people.

And there, I finally found Isolde.

Meow~

The appearance of a black cat. But it was definitely the witch Isolde. 

The magic that spurted out was the proof.

She rubbed her face on my sleeve.

Isolde.

I muttered her name softly.

Then, with a bang, Isolde turned into a human. 

As expected.

Cough, cough! Oh, Im touched. Youre looking for me first now

I stared at her blankly.

Her body looked like it would collapse at any moment, spitting blood, and her magic was incredibly strong. 

The difference between the two elements was somewhat interesting.

But she mistook what was in my eyes for anger. 

Isolde suddenly waved her hand.

Cough! Ugh, dont be so angry. Ive been sending you gold coins every month

I still dont react.

Isolde coughed and continued with a pale face.

Cough, cough! Its not like stalking. Its just pure support Maybe.

I handed her a handkerchief.

I was going to give her the handkerchief that Trixie gave me, but I just gave her mine. 

Isolde bowed her head and took it.

Thank you. After all, Im a fortune-teller, right?

Fortune-teller.

I repeated the four letters quietly.

There were fortune-tellers in the previous world. 

They were people who used various strange tools to look into the future, something close to superstition.

Isolde nodded her head with difficulty.

Yes. I can see the future Im just investing in you. Its enough if you pay me back when you succeed Cough, cough!

It was a simple story.

Isolde was a fortune-teller who claimed to be able to see the future, and she started to sponsor me after seeing my future.

She coughed and opened her lips again. 

The handkerchief I gave her was already soaked with blood.

Ive been watching you do well at the academy. But, youre doing that well without using your innate ability I was really surprised.

Unique ability?

Yes. Your unique ability. Are you not going to use it anymore? Cough, cough! Ouch, my head

Could it be that I have the bloodline of a knight, that I also have a unique ability in this body?

Isolde.

I called her name softly.

Yes. Cough, cough! What is it?

How much did you donate to me in total?

Twelve million? Something like that.

A thousand a month, for a whole ten years. Her actions are hard to accept.

No, maybe.

If Isolde really saw the future, this might not be a foolish choice. 

No, rather, it would be an excellent move.

Twelve million, well done. Isolde.

Then Isoldes coughing stopped. 

She blinked her eyes and looked at me.

Well done?

Yes.

Uh, um Youre different from usual today

Isolde scratched her head. 

I was suddenly curious about her fortune-telling.

Isolde. Can you see the future right now?

Cough, cough! Of course. I can see it.

Isolde took two steps closer to me.

Since I got a compliment today, Ill just show you once. You can see it with your eyes when I dont have the crystal ball.

Her gaze met mine. 

The next moment, Isolde froze in place.

She narrowed her eyes very slightly, as if trying to examine the inside of my eyes.

And finally, when our noses were almost touching.

Cough! Cough, cough Uh

Isoldes coughing ceased.

To be precise, she stopped breathing altogether.

Isoldes eyes grew larger. 

At the same time, her mouth began to open slowly.

She tilted her head slightly, and a flush of color returned to her pale face.

Uh

She nodded her head as if satisfied.

As expected, my investment was not wrong.

She rolled her eyes around and scrutinized me. 

After a while, she licked her lips.

From next month, Ill donate two thousand gold coins each.

I dont care, but at least tell me what you saw.

Hehehe Cough, cough!

Isolde coughed repeatedly, but still smiled softly. 

She raised her index finger to her lips.

Seeing the future is only the fortune-tellers job. If I tell you, the future will change Yes. You know that, right?

How petty.

I turned away without hesitation.

I had already achieved my initial goal of finding out the connection between the witch and the body owner.

As I went down to the second floor, I quietly checked the clock.

It was time to participate in the auction.

Twelve million gold coins.

I was willing to spend them in any way possible.

The night in the hotel room of the Magic Tower.

After spending the whole day studying a vast amount of theory, the representatives finally got some time to sleep.

But Trixie was still awake. 

It was a complicated night, with various emotions mixed up.

Sigh.

She eventually got up with a sigh.

The room was extremely luxurious.

The spacious space was divided so that each person could stay separately, and snacks and tea were fully stocked so that they could be accessed at any time.

But rather, it was empty because it was so wide.

Dont do this. Dont do this.

Suddenly, insomnia came. 

It was something that happened once in a while in the past, but it was especially severe today.

Was it the tension towards the conquest, or the waiting for the reply from the teaching auction?

It was probably both.

Her mind was getting impatient as she faced a big deal, but she felt frustrated because she didnt get a reply from the teaching auction.

She opened the trivia.

[ How about meeting soon!] 

[ Thats right. I passed the preliminaries as the first place] 

[ Did you see it hehe]

There was still no reply.

She closed the trivia. 

She opened it, closed it, opened it, closed it She repeated it about five times.

Uh.

Then suddenly, something came to her mind.

Trixie hurriedly got out of bed and brought a handkerchief. 

It looked exactly the same as the one she asked Flan to deliver.

This handkerchief conveyed the touch and scent of the owner. 

It must have been delivered by now.

Ahem.

Trixie coughed and looked around.

She was alone in this space. 

The rest must be asleep. She felt relieved.

Trixie lay down on the bed again, and quietly brought the handkerchief to her face.

A moment later.

A hard-to-describe, reassuring energy was transmitted to Trixie.

A faint scent tickled the girls nose.

Trixie finally closed her eyes. 

She felt calm for some reason. 

She felt like she could fall asleep now.

Her thoughts flowed slowly like clouds.

She wondered why Becky said she would tell her but didnt. 

She couldnt ask her right away because the space was divided. 

She wondered what the connection was between Flan and the Agora Board. 

She wondered how hard tomorrow would be. She didnt know and she missed Mr. Guidance. Mr. Guidance

Her random thoughts stopped abruptly.

Snore snore

At some point, the girl fell asleep like an angel.
