Avoid Yandere Constellation

Jenny furrowed her brow as she listened to me.

“Well, it’s your business, not mine. Anyway, I don’t know about Eileen and Skaya, but I’m not participating.”

“Oh. Okay.”

With that, Jenny and I parted ways.

Hmm. Well, they’re keeping up pretty well.

After the competition ended, I kept the volume at maximum level.

As expected, the spy saw this as an opportunity and began to tail me secretly.

Alright, let’s head to the back of the main building where there are no people. I thought to myself, taking steps towards the back of the main building as if I didn’t know anything.

.

.

Meanwhile, the Constellation was watching Kaine from afar through the magic sniper rifle.

“Hmm. This assassin is definitely not ordinary.”

Despite the distance and the weakened state, the Constellation, as a transcendent being, couldn’t sense any killing intent from him.

It was understandable why Kaine had set up this operation, even going as far as erasing his memory.

As the Constellation was coming to terms with this, Kaine had already reached his destination. The Constellation infused the sniper rifle with magic power, which she rarely used.

-Woong!

Magic just doesn’t suit me. Even as a transcendent being, the Constellation primarily used divine power, so using magic felt awkward.

‘And it’s quite weakened, too.’

The Constellation grumbled to herself as she prepared to snipe.

.

.

.

Kaine arrived at the back of the main building, followed secretly by the spy.

“I have to kill him now.”

The spy was certain that this was the moment. He didn’t know when Kaine would be wandering around a populated area again. He drew his dagger and was about to stab it into Kaine’s neck when— ȑÅNốΒЕS

“What?!”

Kaine drew his sword and swung it at the spy.

-Whoosh!

Caught off guard by the sudden attack, the spy raised his dagger to block it.

-Clang!

The sound of metal clashing filled the air. Kaine furrowed his brows, irritated that his ambush had failed.

“Tsk! I thought I was pretty good at ambushing.”

“When did you know I was following you?”

Kaine responded with a bitter smile.

“Well, what difference does it make if you know?”

“…….”

The spy ignored his question and remained silent. After all, there was no point in prolonging the conversation with him.

As the spy took a step back, preparing to escape, Kaine warned, “Don’t even think about running away. I’ll cut you down with my sword if you do.”

Kaine held his sword in a threatening stance.

‘How does he know I’m moving when I’m using both invisibility and aura concealment?’

The combination of invisibility and aura concealment was undetectable by most people. To sense an aura, one would need to be at the top level of the Royal Academy. Kaine’s skills, as demonstrated in the arena, were far below those of the top students. Moreover, Kaine was already exhausted, making it even more unlikely for him to detect anything.

‘But that’s not the important part.’

Denial wouldn’t help him now. He needed to accept the reality and think of a way out.

‘I can’t escape.’

He didn’t know when Kaine had noticed the tail, but judging by his reaction, it seemed like he had intentionally lured the spy to this location. Therefore, it was likely that Kaine had also prepared a way to prevent the spy from escaping.

‘The only option is to kill him and escape from here.’

Without hesitation, the spy enhanced his body with aura and threw his dagger.

-Whoosh!

As the dagger left the spy’s hand, the invisibility spell was broken. The dagger tore through the air.

Usually, this was the moment when the target would meet their end. It was hard to avoid such a sudden attack, especially when a dagger appeared out of thin air.

However, Kaine, with his heightened hearing due to the volume adjustment, anticipated the attack and dodged by turning his head to the side.

-Thud!

The dagger embedded itself into the wall behind him.

Hmm. It seems like the invisibility spell is broken as soon as the dagger leaves his hand.

Kaine thought to himself as he swung his sword towards the spy’s location. The spy jumped back to dodge the attack.

‘His stamina must be quite depleted.’

Kaine’s ability to detect his attack was commendable. The spy had never been in such a tight spot before. However, Kaine had made one mistake.

‘He didn’t recover his stamina.’

Although the spy acknowledged that Kaine’s assassination skills were superior, he was confident that he could still defeat him in his exhausted state. But he couldn’t afford to be careless.

As the spy was thinking this, Kaine infused his body with magic power and enhanced himself.

-Whoosh!

Tsk.

Even with just magic power enhancement, Kaine felt the strain. It seemed like he still had a long way to go before he could use such a large amount of magic power without burden.

‘I guess that’s to be expected.’

In reality, the total amount of magic power in his body was equivalent to that of a high-ranking official in the church. Of course, this was before the demon possession.

In any case, it was a significant amount, and it was only natural that his current body would feel the strain.

After completing both physical and mental enhancements, Kaine swung his sword downward without hesitation. The spy blocked the attack with his dagger, which was coated in poison.

“Grrr!”

I’m definitely outmatched in terms of strength!

Despite Kaine’s exhaustion, the spy was still inferior in raw physical ability.

The spy jumped back and threw the dagger coated in thick poison. The dagger, suddenly appearing in mid-air, was a dangerous threat.

-Whoosh!

That’s dangerous.

Kaine’s instincts, honed by countless deaths, told him so.

If he were hit by that dagger, it wouldn’t be an instant kill, but it would still cause a critical injury.

‘That works for me!’

The dagger flew towards Kaine and struck his shoulder.

“Grrr!”

The poison seeps into his body, causing his entire body to feel as if it’s burning.

Kaine clenches his lower lip and kneels on one knee.

Seeing this, the spy smirks.

“It seems your stamina has taken a hit.”

“Grrr!”

“Well, I’ll give you credit for pushing me this far. You’re the first person to do so.”

The spy speaks as if he has already won, and he even deactivates his invisibility spell, confident in his victory.

Kaine ignores his words and pulls out the dagger embedded in his shoulder.

-Thud!

He throws the dagger to the ground.

“Damn, that hurts. Hey, by the way…”

“…….”

As Kaine trails off, the spy tilts his head in confusion.

Kaine smirks at the spy’s reaction.

“Why don’t you think about your own assassination?”

…What? Assassination?

Just as the spy turns his head in surprise—

“Gah!”

Both of his thighs are pierced, leaving round holes.

Kaine, satisfied with the outcome, activates the Holy Cross.

“Phew. I feel much better now.”

“Grrr!”

I need to use invisibility right now.

Although escaping with my legs in this condition would be difficult, if I give up now, I’ll truly die.

As I think this, I attempt to use invisibility, but—

-Thud!

“Aaah!”

Kaine stomps on my leg to prevent my escape.

The pain is unbearable, as if the nerve endings in my leg have been severed.

Unable to activate invisibility due to the pain, the spy is surprised by Kaine’s reaction.

“Hmm? What’s wrong? Can’t a so-called assassin endure pain? Are you just a half-wit?”

“Grrr! What?”

Half-wit?

I’ve never been subjected to such humiliation before.

Usually, my assassination targets die without even realizing what hit them.

‘And you’re calling me a half-wit?’

Kaine’s words make me scowl in denial, but he just looks at me with disdain.

“Do you know why I called you a half-wit?”

“…….”

I remain silent, not understanding the reason.

Kaine smirks annoyingly and says, “You don’t know why, do you, you idiot?”

As soon as he finishes speaking, an indescribable pain shoots through my neck.

Soon after, my vision darkens.

.

.

.

People often let their guard down in a fight when they think they’ve defeated their opponent.

And the spy was no exception.

“That’s why you’re a half-wit.”

Well, there are many other reasons, but…

Looking at the spy, who died with a resentful expression, I dust off my clothes and look at the system message that appears before me.

[You have completed the ongoing quest ‘Avoid Death’.]

[You will be rewarded with 500 points.]

Hmm. Is that it?

[You have completed the hidden quest ‘Catch the Assassin’.]

[You will be rewarded with 1,000 points.]

I knew it! Damn it!

I went to such lengths to catch this guy, even using the memory absorption device and collaborating with my clone to devise a strategy. If there wasn’t an additional reward, I would’ve been so frustrated that I’d be lying on the ground, screaming.

“Now, let’s begin the second plan.”

With that, I take out a devil-like mask and robe from my space ring.

.

.

.

Meanwhile, Kim Soo-yong, after finishing his match in the Royal Tournament, makes his way to the back of the main building, the designated meeting spot with Kaine.

“Hmm. The David family must be quite something.”

The cult members rarely reveal themselves so easily.

Yet, they managed to gather information so soon after the performance evaluation.

Of course, I won’t know if the information is useful until I hear it.

But the important thing is that they’ve obtained information about them.

“It’s clear that I have limitations on my own.”

After the performance evaluation incident, Kim Soo-yong also tried to gather information about the cult.

However, he couldn’t find any useful information.

This is because there were no traces of them to follow, and whenever he found suspicious individuals, it was already too late.

“Tsk! Is there someone who has infiltrated the Academy?”

That would make sense.

Unless they have someone on the inside, it’s hard to believe that they couldn’t find any information despite their meticulous movements.

“Haa. Well, let’s put that aside for now and focus on cross-dressing…”

I hate it so much.

To be honest, the information about the cult is important, but I can always get it from Kaine.

In reality, Kaine, unlike me, is the son of a prominent family.

It would be more efficient for the David family to take action than for me to meddle in it.

So, for now, I can put aside the cult’s information.

What’s more important is the cross-dressing contest tomorrow.

Because of a stupid bet with Burke, I ended up participating in this ridiculous contest.

“Why did I make such a crazy bet?”

The bet was simple.

It was about who would win the grade tournament.

Kim Soo-yong bet on Jenny, while Burke bet on Kaine.

As a result, Kaine defeated Jenny, confirming my cross-dressing fate.

But that’s not the only problem.

Cross-dressing itself is not unbearable, but the real issue is that I have to show it to Rain.

Unfortunately, Rain overheard the bet between Burke and me.

Upon hearing it, Rain became excited and declared that she would do my makeup.

‘….Damn.’

Feeling a sudden wave of despair, Kim Soo-yong sighed deeply and continued walking.

Then—

“What, what is this?!”

Anyone could sense the intense killing intent.

And it was coming from the very spot where I was supposed to meet Kaine.

‘What should I do?’

I’m quite exhausted from the Royal Tournament.

If I go there now, I might die.

‘…I have to go.’

I owe Kaine a favor.

It’s time to repay him.

With this decision in mind, Kim Soo-yong ran towards the destination with all his might.

After a short while, I arrived to find Kaine lying on the ground, bleeding, and a student whose neck and body were separated.

There was also a man wearing a devil-like mask, covered in a robe, emitting a powerful aura as he stared at me.

[You’ve arrived, Kim Soo-yong.]
