Chapter 2163 Deduction
The table was moved a bit.
The guests that came arranged the seats to the side to sit and watch. They suggested that they could do this outside, even though most of them didn"t know why they are doing this. b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot however, didn"t even move an inch.
He just sat there calmly, waiting for the match.
The first suspect, let"s just call him Suspect-1 stepped up and his opponent is a senior who wields a sword. *SWOOSH*
The battle began with the swing of a sword.
*BANG* *CLANG*
The clashing of metal. The collision between the spear and the blade rung like a bell in that closed room. Everyone is watching the match intently. At this moment, one of the Elders who arrived from the Norse region asked another elder in a whisper.
"What is he doing? What is he trying to do with these battles?"
The second elder who obviously had more experience explained.
"He is a.n.a.lyzing the battle. Particularly, the moves of the suspect. The only evidence we have is those videos and all those videos are indicating is their battle skills as well as the victims identifying the suspects.
I think he is trying to see how these suspects are going to fight and match their skills with what is shown in the video"
"Isn"t that a bit too long winding? We could just interrogate them and we would get results." The moment elder spoke those words, his body froze. He felt like a predator is staring at him, like he is some kind of tasty treat.
His eyes landed on b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot who is still looking at the fight.
However, the elder definitely felt like he is being watched by b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot. The conversation between the two elders has been done in whispers. They even used the spiritual energy to make sure that even the people next to them could hear it.
But it is hard to escape from the ears of b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot.
Both the elders were soaked in sweat. They forgot about their doubts and conversation. Only when they focused back on the fights did they felt a bit relieved.
The other people also noticed this change in these two elders. Even though their conversation was not heard, they did notice that they were conversing. They understood who could make them sweat like that.
The first battle is soon over.
Everyone looked at the suspect-1 with serious expressions. Because, even though the start of the fight wasn"t anywhere close to what was shown in the video, soon the moves matched with the moves in the video.
There is no difference.
That is what most believed. b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot had a frown on his face though. A small frown for a small moment. It appeared and disappeared before anyone else could even notice.
The second battle started. It went on and the result was similar. Within the next few minutes, the remaining two battles also finished.
Everyone looked at b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot with an expression of askance. Now what?
They are all waiting for him to pa.s.s the judgment. b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot held his chin within his fingers. His expression indicating that he was thinking something deeply.
Seeing his seriousness they wondered if he was really thinking about the case or if he is comprehending the mysteries of the universe. After three minutes, Gungnir got a bit frustrated and cleared his throat.
*COUGH*
b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot has came back to his senses. He looked at the rest and said.
"Oh, I am sorry. I was lost in thought. These kids didn"t do it. Whoever attacked you was just imitating these kids."
*CRICKET* *CRICKET*
Stunned silence. Gungnir frowned and asked.
"Sir, we have seen the videos dozens of times. We also saw some old footage of these kids fighting before. On top of that, because of you, we have seen their fight live. There is no denying that the fighting styles matched to perfection. There is no way that these suspects are clear.
They definitely did it."
Gungnir"s aura emanated stubbornness. He looked like he wouldn"t back down even if the opposite side is b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot.
b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot asked calmly.
"Are you sure that you want to question my judgement? I agree that they are similar in moves. Even I would have had a hard time if I wasn"t focusing so intently.
Whoever did that is a genius. A genius that doesn"t come often. A genius that you should either hold the thigh of or break the neck of.
Because when he tries to conquer this era, you don"t want to be in his way or his opposition."
Gungnir looked indignant. How is b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot"s explanation any different from giving no explanation.
"Sir, how is this possible? How can someone just imitate someone else"s fighting style just like that? They are not some novice mortal plane cultivators who use some pathetic arts.
These kids are considered geniuses across realms and they are Divine Plane cultivators. Even if the best of the best of this generation in the first grade happens to have the same element as the suspects, there is no way, the can imitate it to that level.
Even if we a.s.sume that you are right, I am not saying you are. Let"s just make such ma.s.sive a.s.sumption and think.
How can you find four different people with that level of skill.
There are four different suspects. Four different elements. Four different fighting styles. Four different approaches. Do you think it is possible to have four such geniuses in this era? At the same time?"
b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot looked at Gungnir calmly.
It seems like he is unfazed with Gungnir"s (almost) outburst.
"No, you misunderstood. That is not what I meant. How could there be four geniuses like that at the same era? It is impossible."
"Thank you." Gungnir said with an exasperated sigh, only to be stunned by his next words.
"It is the same person."
Everyone looked at b.l.o.o.d.y chariot with his mouth wide open.
"What the f.u.c.k did you say?" Gungnir slipped his tongue. He lost himself for a moment and the next moment he realized what he said and said.
"I am sorry, but I meant what I said, what do you mean? A single person? Who can use four elements? Four elements with that level of affinity and expertise to the point that he can imitate someone else"s style to the tee?"
b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot looked at Gungnir who is basically ranting at this point.
"That is exactly what I am saying."
At this moment, back in the hub, Sam is looking at a screen with his mouth wide open.
He is shocked. Genuinely shocked. He has played a million tricks since he came to the Academy realm. Bringing his friends, establishing the hub, the flaming skulls, the renewed pocket dimensions… even though many people doubted that someone is behind some of these events, Sam was never suspected.
In fact, not a single person thought Sam along with these things. They couldn"t a.s.sociate it. Maybe there are two people who did.
One of them is Dayus. However, he is a player so he doesn"t count.
Then there is the Dean of the Zeus Academy.
When the cases against the Zeus academy followed Sam"s case and trial, he believed that there is some connection with Sam, Icarus and the Hub. However, he didn"t suspect that Sam is the one behind it. Just like that, many of his deeds were gone undiscovered.
No one came close to finding him.
However, right now, b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot came closest that anyone ever did.
Back in the room, oblivious Sam"s surprise, Gungnir is exasperated. He gritted his teeth and pulled his hair a bit.
"Sir b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot, I respect you a lot. But you are talking absolute bulls.h.i.t.
How can there be someone who can use so many elements with that level of affinity? Even if someone has multiple affinities, they obviously have a dominant one. How would someone be able to develop all these elements at the same time?
Do you know what kind of person that would be? He would play the whole generation on his hands. He will make every other first grader his b.i.t.c.h. He will be considered as the undisputed and undefeated champion of this…."
He paused. His mouth wide open, as he remembered an image. Someone with multiple elements. Someone with combat skills that could make the rest of the first graders look like children. Someone that already suppressed the whole era of the first graders. Someone that was targeted by an academy, but still walked away scot-free. Someone that is the undisputed and undefeated champion of the current freshmen.
b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot looked at Gungnir in confusion and said.
"Guessing from his frozen shock, I am a.s.suming there is someone in the freshmen this year, who might fit this criteria."
He looked at the rest in askance. By now the remaining also realized who could that someone be.
Everyone saw the video of that someone killing hundreds of people in the Pseudo h.e.l.l. Multiple elements, multiple elements and absolute domination.
