The next morning, the Academy was in an uproar.


    **"Someone tried to assassinate Leonhart!"**


    **"Did they catch the culprit?"**


    **"No, the attacker escaped!"**


    I casually sipped my tea, listening to the rumors.

    Then, a notification appeared.


    [Ding!]


    **[Villain System Notice]**


    - **Hidden Objective Complete: Sabotage the Assassination**


    - **+10,000 XP Earned!**


    - **Ability Upgrade: Sixth Sense → Sixth Sense Lv.2**


    I exhaled in relief.


    The Academy was on high alert, but I was **in the clear**.


    Eclipse would think I **tried** and failed.


    Leonhart would get stronger, as the hero always did after surviving a crisis.


    And me?


    I was playing **both sides** perfectly.


    But then—


    **"Lucian von Kaiser. The Headmaster wants to see you."**


    I looked up.


    Two academy instructors stood in front of me.


    ...Shit. **Fuck my fate.**
