‘Is she really going to start a fight?’ It could not be helped that she would be annoyed at the fact that Fahna lured the minotaur toward them, but Xian did not want to waste time. ‘That’s a main heroine, Carmillia… You’d be swarmed with death flags if you offend her now!’ As much as he did not want to admit it, main heroines in the game were favored by both the system and its people. With Carmillia’s background and role as a villainess, she was bound to attract dangerous gazes at all times. While Serika and Lucinelle would be by her side, she would not be able to avoid traps laid from places they could not see. From his memories, while the two swordmaidens could overpower their peers and match some seniors in the academy, they were not competent when it came to intrigue. Especially against manipulative heroines, of which Fahna was a prime example. With her lineage and identity as the Sword Saint’s daughter, there was no doubt nobles opposed to the duke would rally behind her if she stood against Carmillia. As he was currently Carmillia’s butler, he would obviously support her, but if that happened, he would be too occupied and hard-pressed to interact with other heroines. Not to mention, his relationship with Fahna might become irreversible before it even started. Xian quickly made his way toward Carmillia and discreetly whispered, “We’re running out of time, young miss.” He gestured toward the minotaur slowly regenerating its arm. “Let’s kill the monster first and proceed.” Carmillia frowned upon hearing those words. Since earlier, this butler had been leading her by giving hints to the grid maze, which had actually worked and even saved her from another hidden assailant. “Young miss.” “I know, so shut up.” Finally, she waved her arm as multiple vines tried to catch Fahna, who had to dash away several times. “Wait, stop!” As she moved further away from the exit, she realized it a step too late. A wall of vines finally took root between them and the passage, thick and tall enough to cover the whole room. Carmillia sent her one last sneer, and that was the last Fahna saw of her. Fahna could only stare back with a stunned expression. “… I’ll remember this,” she muttered, her smile and clear gaze replaced by a glare. Realizing that a perfect score was now out of the picture, she sighed in defeat. “Hah, what now? It’ll take some time to cut through all these vines… So annoying.” Fahna stared across the wall of vines stretching towards both ends of the room complaining. When suddenly, she heard another footsteps in the room. She looked behind her raising her guard, and a blurred space slowly revealed a figure. As someone from a clan who kept to themselves, Fahna had investigated potential opponents and rivals in the academy through her own efforts. However, she made the fatal mistake of only looking into those with surface-level reputations. No simple information sellers would dare to sell information about the infamous dukedom and its sole heiress, after all. However, even among her clan members, the face who had just arrived was someone she easily recognized. An already famous figure, said to usher in another coming of an archmage. The individual held out her hand, grasping an ornate branch staff with a blue stone attached at its tip. Then she slowly let go, and it levitated on its own, pointing toward the wall of vines. Her eyes gleamed blue, a sign that magic was being performed through her ‘Mind’s Voice’. Feeling the pressure, Fahna quickly moved out of the way. They had not even spoken to one another, but Gumin, who found an obstacle in front of her, was already taking measures to remove the vines in her path as if it were a natural thing to do. She had already been present and watching when Xian clashed with the minotaur, but could not be bothered to move and had fallen asleep. But when she felt a surge of magic and saw the walls of vines emitting a thick miasma of darkness, she was roused awake. ‘I’ve never seen such vines
