Episode 589
“It’s difficult. Actually, I tried to burn it with fire…”
As Nigisor spoke seriously, the friends next to him were surprised.
“Isn’t it a bit like burning it with fire?”
“that’s right. “I think other torture would be better.”
Interesting opinion!
“uh?”
The students were slightly shaken by Oripulas’ exclamation.
The opinion of a devil who had been serving as an imperial legal officer for 131 years was worth listening to.
“What about dropping it in water?”
Clever opinion!
“How about hanging it upside down?”
That’s a polite opinion!
Thanks to Oripulas’ support, the students came up with creative ideas without hesitation.
Lee Han, who was listening next to him, looked puzzled and asked.
“That’s all well and good, but is it okay to do something like that to an innocent person?”
“Wardanaz is right. In the end, if there is no way to differentiate, it will be a meaningless method.”
Gainando, who was listening to the story, raised his hand and said.
“If you drop them both in the water, the fake might talk!”
“Ugh, prince. That’s what I call it… uh, are you okay?”
“It’ll be fine.”
Lee Han slapped the excited White Tiger Top student on the back.
* * *
“Are you trying to deceive the students?”
-okay. Join forces with the good citizens of the Empire here and try to hide your suspicions.
The Death Knight told the criminals they had dragged in what they had to do today.
By mixing in with the good citizens of the empire and deceiving the students.
That’s what criminals had to do today.
“…??”
“????”
Of course, from the perspective of the criminals who were dragged in, it was absurd.
Is that why you kidnapped me and brought me this far away??
The good citizens next to him also asked questions if they were embarrassed.
“Oh, are you really catching a criminal? Is that okay?”
-haha. Of course it does. All actions that took place today were authorized under Imperial law.
“What nonsense is this! “You brought me here just because of that?!”
-Do you have no learning ability?
The Death Knight laughed and gestured as if he was dumbfounded by the young mercenary’s complaints.
Then the back door opened and the Death Knights dragged away the mercenary who had just shouted.
“no! No… Wow! “Kaaaaaaaa!”
A desperate scream came from the back door.
How long has it been?
The mercenary who returned was completely pale and trembled and muttered.
“I was wrong. I will do my best. Wrong. I will do my best.”
-okay. Everyone do your best. We will give extenuating circumstances to those who are good at deceiving, but we will severely punish those who are caught.
The criminals swallowed their saliva at the Death Knights’ words.
What you had to do seemed light and funny, but what happened when you failed was anything but light.
I can’t even imagine what will happen if I fail!
‘Still, it may be fortunate.’
As the fear and embarrassment disappeared, criminals with deep experience as mercenaries or adventurers quickly turned their heads.
Aside from the fear, this wasn’t the worst thing.
Wouldn’t it be much better to deceive naive students than to become a warlock’s experiment?
-ruler. Wait here. There are students over there, so don’t talk nonsense.
As soon as the Death Knight finished speaking, the sound of students talking was heard from the other side.
-Isn’t it a bit like burning it with fire?
-What about dropping it in water?
“……”
The faces of the criminals turned leaden.
Terrifying rumors about wizards suddenly resurfaced.
* * *
Don’t be too nervous. Wizard. Actually, it’s a much safer test than the last test.
“That’s true, but…”
Professor Rosine crossed her arms and glanced.
“It’s not an easy test again.”
That’s also true.
Oripulas answered coolly.
Earlier, I supported the methods presented by the students, but in fact, the methods were very limited and difficult to use.
Such interrogation methods that border on torture can only be used when you know for sure who the suspect is, and cannot be used carelessly when there is no information.

To a normal citizen of the empire, ‘Elder! Even an Einrogard student could receive a slap in the face if he shouted ‘Please get in the water so I can find out the truth!’
“Now, the exam begins!”
Gainando walked over with a nervous expression.
Then two imperial citizens came in from the opposite door.
“hello. Mr. Wizard. “My name is Uval and I run an old bookstore in Ilainas City.”
“Hello, it’s hot rain. Mabeomsa. “My name is Kilvedek, and I run a general store in Deep Trail Village.”
Oripulas, who watched this, clicked his tongue.
Kilvedek’s mistake was noticed.
It was good that he boldly told the truth rather than clumsily changing his identity, but he was nervous and stuttered.
Fortunately, the student didn’t seem to notice.
“An old bookstore, a general store. “An old bookstore, a general store…”
Gainando, who was thinking carefully, spoke to Professor Rosine.
“I think Mr. Ubal is suspicious.”
“Why do you think that?”
“Well, don’t people who sell books all have twisted and evil souls?”
“……”
“……”
Ubal and Professor Rosine were at a loss for words at the same time. The professor apologized with his eyes.
-sorry.
-it’s okay. haha.
Kilvedek feared it was a trap, so he cautiously came to his defense.
“Well, I don’t think the people who sell books are those people. “There are many good people.”
“Oh… defending a competitor… something a criminal wouldn’t do…”
“Oh, no.”
Ubal was embarrassed.
‘Should I defend myself more actively?’
Ssuk suk-
Guynando sat in a detective-like posture and seriously took notes with a detective-like face.
Oripulas, who was watching from the side, asked a question.
How about trying some magic?
“Shh. Mr. Oripulas. “Please don’t interrupt my reasoning.”
Ugh… I understand.
“And now that I think about it, dropping them both in the water seems a bit cruel.”
yes!
Oripulas gave the boy in front of him a slightly higher score.
“So I’m going to have a conversation. “If we talk, loopholes will be revealed!”
It seems more likely that I’ll just use magic…
The only weapon the Einroguard students had, as they were overwhelmingly less experienced than their opponents, was magic.
By using creative magic, you can identify in advance the suspiciousness of others you may encounter in everyday life.
That was the goal of today’s test.
“Mr. Kilvedek for defending his competitor.”
‘Is it a trap??’
Kilvedek answered nervously.
“yes.”
“What kind of general store do you run?”
“Uh… I sell everything as it comes in. “It’s a small town, so you can’t hide things.”
“Do you also sell Empire magazines?”
“Yes, sometimes…?”
“Do you also sell the Toberry series?”
“Uh, yes. “There’s someone I see in town.”
“How much is each book?”
“Dong, five fairy tales… isn’t it?”
“Hmm.”
Guynando wrote ‘Kilvedek, +50 points’ in his memo.
“ruler. Mr. Ubal, who runs an evil antique bookstore.”
“It’s not an evil old bookstore…”
“Tell me about the old bookstore.”
“My antique bookstore is located in the most beautiful city in the empire. In the evening, you can see the sunset and sunset over the western sea, and when the songs of the returning sailors spread like the sound of temple bells…”
Gaynando wrote in the memo, ‘Accidental, -50 points. ‘Appeals too much to emotions’.
Then I suddenly realized and asked.
“for a moment. Mr. Woobal. “Isn’t Ilainas City a city near Baldrogard?”
“you’re right. haha. Baldrogard students often come to visit.”
“……”
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
Gainando’s quill moved like crazy.
Contingency, -5000 points (Baldrogarde spy!)
* * *
“I thought you might get thirsty while you waited, so I made some tea.”
Priest Siana came in with a teapot and a teacup.
Ubal and Kilvedek, who were waiting, were moved by the goodwill of the student wearing priestly clothing.
“Thank you for this.”
“Thank you so much. “Priest.”
Unlike Ubal, Kilvedek, who had to be several times more nervous, felt especially warm-hearted.
Even in this hellish and ugly magic school, there was still a ray of light. Those were priests who served God.
Kilvedek sipped his tea cup, thinking that he should have visited the temple more often when he was in town.
“Have you eaten everything?”
“yes.” “yes.”
“ruler. “Then who is the criminal?”
Priest Cyana crossed his arms and asked arrogantly.
The two people blinked in confusion at the drastic change in attitude.
uh…
what?
“Speak quickly. Mr. Woobal. Please answer. “If you don’t answer, you’re a criminal.”
“I am not.”
“next. Mr. Kilvedek.”
“I… purr.”
Kilvedek’s tongue was stuck to the roof of his mouth. It was as if my body had changed to prevent me from lying.
Priest Shiana, who saw this, kicked up his chair, jumped up and shouted.
“I was fooled! “I was tricked!”
“Um, student Shianna…?”
As Professor Rosine asked in a shocked voice, Priest Siana jumped once more, landed, and adjusted her clothes.
“sorry. professor. “I was so excited.”
Uh…are you a priest?
Priest Syana lightly ignored Oripulas’ question.
“As expected of a devil, you deny priests?”
No, it’s not like that…
“professor. I brought the no-lying potion in a teapot ahead of time. “It was a very bitter potion, so it couldn’t be faked unless it was disguised as tea.”
“…It’s great! “Siana student.”
When Professor Rosine, who came to her senses belatedly, shouted, Sianna greeted her with a very proud expression.
After that, student Sianna, who had solved all the remaining problems, left the exam room with light steps.
Only then did Oripulas open his mouth.
Oh, wizard. Is it okay for a priest to do that? A little different from the priests I know?
“I always support and encourage students’ change.”
That’s not a level of change… a cataclysm… no…
Oripulas was very embarrassed.
I had no idea that priests would actively use tricks like that and get excited about it.
‘Are you saying I’m a demon summoned so long ago that I’m behind in changes?’
While I was thinking like that, Bartrek came in carrying a teapot.
It would be a good idea if you added a confession-type potion, but it won’t work because a previous student has already used it.
“shit! It’s that Wardanaz guy!?”
* * *
After the guests and criminals were exhausted from all sorts of different methods (one criminal was attacked with a heated iron rod), it was finally Lee Han’s turn.
said Oripulas, who was in a good mood because of the criminal who had just been roasted with a heated iron rod.
I’m a student I’m looking forward to, but it’s going to be difficult because my turn is the last.
Professor Rosine nodded in agreement.
The more tired people became, the harder it became to find the truth.
Even when using magic to understand emotions, if both people were exhausted, it was difficult to tell whether it was due to tension or simple fatigue, and even when they tried to use prediction magic, they made frequent mistakes and the information was polluted, resulting in a decrease in accuracy.
Moreover, there was a high possibility that many of the methods tried by the students who came in earlier would no longer work.
Because the criminals were also very desperate.
“hello. professor.”
“Come in!”
As Lee Han walked, two people came in from the other side.
Lee Han saw that and immediately stretched out his finger.
“Isn’t he a criminal?”
Amazing! How on earth!?
Both Oripulas and Professor Rosine jumped up in surprise.
How did you notice it as soon as you walked in?
