There was a student in front of them who was presumed to be Anasis. However, neither Simone nor Louis could easily open their mouths.
Simone couldn't even take a single step forward, let alone open her mouth.
Is she scared of Anasis?
Of course, it's scary. But fear isn't what's holding the two back.
The students behind her were the ones who stopped the two people from walking.
They looked like they would jump off the railing without hesitation if they took even one step.
The girl in front of her just looked at the two people who were at a loss in this unexpected situation as if she found it amusing.
'No, didn't you evacuate everyone?'
It seemed like everyone was heading down to the main building earlier. Are there still students who haven't left the dorms?
Anyone who sees the sight of dozens of students standing in a row against the railing would have a hard time concentrating.
“Lady Simone.”
Louis finally came to his senses and opened his mouth.
“We have to move. Even if it’s difficult to confront her right away, we have to save the students.”
"...I know."
I know, but how?
Before their eyes is Anasis, or someone radiating an aura similar to Anasis, and the students assume that if Simone and Louis take even one step, they will fall to the ground.
Louis, who uses a sword, cannot save dozens of students at once, and if Simone uses strength, the woman will definitely stop her.
She dares say that the woman giggling has the power to do so.
How should we save them? How?
Simone couldn't even take a single step forward, let alone open her mouth.

She dares say that the woman giggling has the power to do so.
How should we save them? How?
Louis also couldn't think of any other way, so he just bit his lips.
“...Simone, can you evacuate with the woman alone? I will go down and...”
“Don’t move hastily. Even if you go down, you can’t stop those students from jumping by yourself. The woman has taken the students’ lives hostage.”
Then the woman who had been giggling got up and asked.
“Aren’t you coming?”
“...”
“I’ve been waiting for you here all along.”
“...”
“Killing them one by one, wondering when you will come looking for me, how many I have to kill for you to come here, with a fluttering heart.”
Whirlwind-

“I’ve been waiting for you here all along.”
“...”
“Killing them one by one, wondering when you will come looking for me, how many I have to kill for you to come here, with a fluttering heart.”
Whirlwind-
A black vortex formed around the woman.
The woman lifted her index finger as if playing with a whirlpool, then pointed to one of the students.
All of these movements were calm and slow as if she knew that Simone would not be able to attack.
“If you don’t come in quickly, one more person might die.”
“If one more person dies here, you die too.”
Simone said, forcing the corners of her lips upward. The woman's smile grew wider.
“Yeah, you’ve gotten a lot stronger too. You look completely different than when I first saw you.”
Shit. Is she really Anasis?
Although she may have appeared calm on the outside, Simone's mind was racing to the point of giving her a headache.
“Wow... They say fate can’t be easily changed.”
“Simone?”
Simone muttered softly.
She thought that the character Simone was originally destined to die. Seo Hyun-Jung possessed her and changed that.
But maybe not. Simone could have been killed here by Anasis instead of being killed by the Demon King's men for Abel.
“It might really end here...”
The woman in front of her didn't make any threats and just spoke to Simone.
But every word she said gripped Simone's heart as if it contained her own story.
Cold sweat poured down like rain and her whole body began to feel heavy.
She was just talking to that woman and feeling the energy that filled this building.
How can a human body possess such energy?
At that moment, the woman smiled faintly, lowered her arm that was pointing at the student, and slowly began to melt from her head on.
Simone opened her eyes wide and quickly shot her mana.
However, she couldn't use that much force for fear of hurting the students behind the woman. It was just enough to reach the thing that was now like a lump of melting clay.
The black mana swirling around it lightly blocked it and began to surround the mass as if protecting it.
Tsk, Simone clicked her tongue and leaped forward, releasing her mana once more, this time creating a whirlpool. It was much more powerful than before, but this time too, she was blocked by the whirlpool and could not reach the mass.
“Damn...”
Simone gritted her teeth and glanced behind the vortex. As expected, the students were the problem.
'It would be worth a try if there weren't any students.'
Simone, who could easily destroy buildings, couldn't even scratch it for fear that they might fall under her attack.
While Simone was pondering, the face of a woman with black hair appeared from within the completely melted mass.
A middle-aged woman with black hair and red eyes still looked at Simone with interest.
Simone muttered softly.
“Anasis.”
It was the moment when she faced Simone as her complete self.
Anasis asked in detail with a face that seemed affectionate at first glance.
“It was definitely not up to par before. How did you do it?”
“You want to have a conversation in this situation? Then how about we start by letting those students go.”
“Hmm, Geneon, right? He’s the only one in this shitty empire who can raise you to that level.”
“If you have any business, come and see me. Why are you killing the students?”
“But you can’t become that strong with just Geneon. Even if you were to gather souls, how much could you have gathered in such a short time? It’s strange.”
“...”
Simone just kept her mouth shut. She wasn't going to listen to me, so what was the point of talking so badly?
Anasis's behavior seemed more like she was investigating Simone than talking to her.
“Hmm, how did you gain so much strength so earnestly? You wouldn’t have offered up your soul or a corpse in an orphaned empire, right? Crown Prince.”
Louis glared at her with his mouth shut.
Anasis was relaxed even in response to Louis's reaction.
The expression on their faces clearly showed that those two people would never attack them as long as they had students.
Anasis looked at Simone in thought.
At that time.
“Simone!”
As Jace hurriedly climbed the stairs, he saw the students on the rooftop and flinched.
“Jace?”
No, I told you to evacuate the students, so why did you come here again?
As time goes by, there are more and more saboteurs.
Just as Simone was about to frown and tell him to go down quickly, Jace spoke first.
“We’re in trouble. The students who helped evacuate the area after finding out His Highness the Crown Prince was here have returned here.”
"...What?"
“They have to help His Highness. Persuasion is not working. They have arrived at the bottom of the dormitory now.”
No, those crazy guys?
Louis looked at Jace with a face as if he was about to turn away in bewilderment. It was as if he was asking him several times if he was serious.
Jace nodded firmly.
“It was because you were the one who would become their master one day. What would happen if the story spread that the people who came to Precia to work in the Imperial Palace were unable to protect His Highness the Crown Prince who had been killed in Precia?”
I will never set foot in the castle again. Louis squeezed his eyes shut.
In a time when there were already many restrictions, Louis' presence itself created an even more dangerous situation.
“Excuse me, Simone. I’ll go down and-”
Louis stopped talking. Simone's face lit up without him noticing.
Huh? Why all of a sudden? Wherever he looks, the situation is getting more and more serious.
Then Simone asked quietly, still not taking her eyes off Anasis.
“That’s why the swordsmanship skills in Prescia are good.”
"Yes?"
“Are you saying that you won’t die if people pour down on your head?”
“...Yes?”
“What I mean is, even if something breaks or bursts, it doesn’t matter. They’re people who use their bodies.”
Aren't these a bit different?
Louis opened his mouth vaguely and couldn't bring himself to answer.
Of course, the swordsmanship training at the Precia Academy is partly based on the training that the knights of the castle receive, and most nobles receive separate training from their families as well as the academy, so they are quite strong.
Usually, when someone falls from above, they die or even go into a brain-dead state...
“That... Simone, I have never personally seen the training of the 0rescia students, but I think that’s-”
“Oh, I don’t have time, so tell me quickly. I have to do it while Anasis is watching me absentmindedly like a monkey at a zoo.”
At Simone's words, Louis glanced at Anasis's reaction. Anasis had clearly seen and heard Jace's appearance and their conversation, but she was just looking at Simone.
As if Simone had come this far, nothing else mattered.
'What on earth are you planning?'
Then Jace speaks firmly.
“They wouldn’t mind if their bones were broken. They’re rich nobles who can easily get that sorted by calling in a high-class healer.”
“How many people are there down there?”
“The number of students standing over there is manageable.”
Louis, feeling momentarily uneasy, glanced at Simone's back.
The moment Louis hurriedly reached out his hand.
Kwaaaaang!!!!!
“Get it below!!!!!”
Simone, who had suddenly shouted out loud, unhesitatingly released a strong wind of mana from her hand and began to pour down mercilessly on the students.
Louis and Jace's heads both rose into the sky at the same time.
The students were blown away by the wind and fluttered so high that it made you wonder, "Huh?" They're flying so high.
They were falling slowly, fluttering like paper. Perhaps Simone had used her hand to help them fall slowly.
“Huh? Huh? Ugh! Over there, over there! The kids!”
“What, what is it!”
At the same time, the students' voices were heard agitated from below the dormitory.
But Louis and Jace couldn't care about their students anymore.
Kwakwakwakwang!!!!! Phajijik!!!
Because Simone poured her mana towards Anasis as if she had let go of the reins.
The woman lifted her index finger as if playing with a whirlpool, then pointed to one of the students.
All of these movements were calm and slow as if she knew that Simone would not be able to attack.
“If you don’t come in quickly, one more person might die.”
