My Space-Time System

While they were delegating on what to do, the trio finally reached the eastern gate where they were stopped by members of the ash corps.

"We were ambushed by mercenaries and after killing the rest we captured one as evidence." Blake said as he displayed his adventurer badge.

"So where are you heading to?" The commander asked.

"To the adventurer's association where we will make a report." Blake answered.

If it was a normal case, the trio was meant to be taken into custody and be interrogated while an investigation is carried out, but since they were under the association it was to be reported to them.

"Alright, we will escort you 3 to the association." The commander said.

In order to make sure that the report was given the ash corps were to escort them to the association.

'I found the solution to the problem.' Blake said through their mind link.

'Yes?'

'It's very simple. We do nothing.' Blake said confusing Castiel and Brian.

'Prince Bryon is the leader of the ash corps and since the case is to be transferred to the ash corps for investigation it will surely reach his ears. So, if he thinks it is too dangerous for us, then he will eradicate it.' Blake explained.

'What makes you think prince Bryon cares so much about us?' Brian asked but he only got a 'you'll see' expression from Blake.

They soon got to the adventurer association where they met Susan, who on hearing the severity of the case informed the guild master.

'Why are they always getting in trouble?' Guild master Walden thought when he saw the trio entering the office.

Cases where the customers had tried to kill the adventurers, were quite a few, but one thing for sure was that they were all nobles.

"Before you make the report, you should know all your statements are being recorded including this one?' After receiving nods from the trio, he gave the go-ahead to carry on.

The trio began narrating everything that happened during the journey and the fights. As usual, Blake left out the information about the space element, while focusing more on the void daggers.

'From his statement, he was able to kill 5 champions at such a young age. I must say, he really is promising.' Walden thought.

"The report has been sent to the ash corps and investigation and interrogation of the mercenary has begun." Walden informed the trio.

"So, what now?" Blake asked because he had no idea how to proceed.

"You can return to your school or anywhere you want to. As long as you don't try to leave the city you are okay." Walden said.

"Is anything wrong?" Walden asked when he saw the disbelief on their faces.

They had thought that they would be detained in a room until the investigation was over, just like they did on Earth, but surprisingly they were free to go.

It made sense because, with the help of magic and artifacts, it was very easy to locate them within the city.

"How long is the investigation to last?" Blake asked.

"Since, this isn't a serious case you should be called in tomorrow for the results." Walden said.

"That will be all. Thanks for your time." Blake bowed as they left the room.

"He is an interesting one." Walden thought, before going back to work.

"That went well…" Castiel said.

"Yeah. It would have been way better if we had more beast cores." Blake let out a sigh.

"If they aren't enough, you could buy with exchange points." Brian's words stung deep into Blake's heart.

Why would one spend points when they could go hunting? It was an utter waste of points.

"This should be enough for today." Blake said as they returned to the academy.

…

Immediately the report was sent to the ash corps, a team was deployed to the Mina woods to investigate.

On reaching the sight, the ash corps killed the beasts that were feeding on the corpse of the mercenaries.

Once the crime scene was free from any form of disturbance, the captain opened the chest and brought out a bronze hand mirror.

It was the cursed artifact beholder.

It had the ability to use mana fluctuations and emissions in a given area to reconstruct what had happened in the area in form of a vision. The clarity of the vision was dependent on the power level of both the user and the person being spied on.

'Let's see what happened here…' The captain injected his mana into the artifact causing a ripple that made the surface of the mirror tear in half, revealing a yellow-stained eyeball filled with multiple eerie blood vessels.

Once the eyelid was fully open, the pupil had a purple aura that sent images of what happened to the captain's mind.

He saw how the mercenaries had killed the black spider monkey in the area before hiding and waiting for the 'researchers' to lure Blake.

He went on to see how Blake had killed the mercenaries, but it never showed Blake using the space element.

Because the captain was a newly advanced demigod, he wasn't aware of the interference stopping him from seeing the real event that occurred.

He went to the other crime scenes and everything match with the report given by the trio.

…

Back at the city, the captain had communicated his findings and the mercenary had been interrogated and he spilled the beans.

The mercenary narrated how a wealthy merchant named Abbas Vadim approached their leader and requested the assassination of the order of chaos adventurer party.

Immediately the beans were spilled, the ash corps sent a team to arrest the merchant, but on getting to his mansion they found him dead.

This led to another case and once again the beholder was used. When used it showed that he had committed suicide.

With that, the case was closed. Sargon and Lambert had gotten away with failed assassination, or so they thought.
