Chapter 26: 026. Spirit Sword (3)
"Wait... what did I say?"
The Inquisitor clenched his teeth at the sight unfolding before him.
Perhaps it was a mistake to be swayed by a student's boast that he knew the exact location of the suspect.
"Are you messing with me right now?"
"I'm not joking."
"You're not saying that the guy is here, are you?"
As he spoke, the Inquisitor spread his arms, gesturing around.
They were currently standing in a dark alley located in the industrial area of the northern part of the academy.
He had followed them here, thinking they were in a completely different place from the commercial district in the south, and now he felt utterly foolish.
"I've wasted my time."
If it were the usual him, he would have punished this insufferable brat. But now was not the time for fiery anger; it was time to carry out his mission with a cold heart. Thus, the Inquisitor slowly turned his body and began to move.
The commercial district in the south, where the suspect supposedly lived, was directly opposite this northern area. Since it was already late afternoon, securing the suspect before sunset had become difficult.
