The Absolute Twin Magician

The Scout

This dark underground passageway came back through. This time it was just me and Elie. After the trials in the room, Fiera who was detained by Chezie's brother could no longer bother me. Finally Fiera's problem succeeded in quelling. The rest of them are just looking for something interesting to do.

The next room I want to visit is the eyes of the organization, the surveillance room. There, all the movements around the headquarters are perfectly monitored. Like CCTV cameras that always lurk every corner of the room. And of course, it's not real CCTV. All the movements are perfectly supervised by the scout, Zero with his unique magic that is beyond common sense.

Entering the room, all we saw was a room that was not too wide. A bright blue light illuminated the dark room. There, a magic hologram screen was displayed. Like a monitor that displays anything recorded by a surveillance camera. It's like a CCTV room. In front of him, a 19-year-old girl was sitting quietly, biting a stalk of candy. His style that was like an unkempt child made Elie look unhappy. Like seeing a thug. Yes, that girl is Zero, Magic Knight No 8 The Apocalypse.

" Came too yea apparently, Zayn" said Zero, without looking at us in the slightest.

" Ah.. as usual you look boring Zero" I replied as I walked into the room.

" And...what are you doing? Men and women are alone in the hallway without anyone's knowledge" said Zero. " You guys didn't do anything weird, did you?"

" I'm just doing a little refreshing. Nothing happened" I replied.

" Oh yeah? You're cruel too, Zayn, to forget about Fiera you dumped in that artificial hell"

And this is a trait I don't like about him. His tongue is very sharp, and again he is very chatty and disrespectful.

" A-anu..you're Zero, right?" Elie asked, trying to greet him "I rarely see you, so we don't have time to get acquainted"

Zero glanced at him at a glance, then looked back at the hologram screen.

" Yes yes, I know you. Elizabeth Bathory isn't she? I already knew that so there was no need to get acquainted. I'm sure Miss Stephanie told you about me anyway"

" I-that's right, but wouldn't it be better to meet in person like this?"

" Ah, there's no need. That's troublesome. You're just a guest here anyway, right? Don't know I don't care"

Elie stared lethargicly, hearing Zero's response so cold. I am the same too. Zero has always cared nothing about his surroundings.

" Well, you don't have to think about it, Elie, Zero is like this." I said "other than Zero, aren't you bored here?"

" No, it's even more convenient here than the obscure streets in the hallway like you" Zero replied.

" Well, as long as you don't peek with your weird magic "

Zero looked at me with a embarrassed face.

" W-who do you think I am?! I'm not like you! Basic perverted brain!" His words did not accept.

" at least I never peeked" I replied again, chuckling.

" Aah whatever you want to say, the important thing is I never do that at all" Zero said, staring back at the hologram screen.

Elie and I got closer to the hologram screen, a little curious about what Zero actually saw.

" Anu, Zero.. What exactly did you see?" Elie asked in courage.

" Of course everything you do in this place" he replied.

Sure enough, the screen was clearly visible all activities inside and outside the headquarters. Every room and every corner is perfectly monitored. From here we can see Guts and Gale still training. Kayn, Liana and Miss Stephanie are walking down the hallways. Brother Marry and Zatrox are on patrol outside. And also Chezie's brother and Hughes are executing Fiera. Tony's resting in the main room. Everything is clearly visible.

" Uwaaa.

" Noisy!! Don't fuckin' talk about you Zayn!!"

Elie laughed a little at Zero's expression that looked upset because of my words earlier. But he hurriedly hid it when he realized that Zero was looking at him cynically.

" By Zero by the way.where's Oliver's uncle?" My toot.

" Where else? Of course there was work "he replied "a week ago he left because there was a report from the Voracity area about the appearance of the Yellow Devil which is quite abnormal there. So he left immediately "

" You think they can handle things like this? Impossible" Zero replied.

" No, that's not what I meant. Royal Paladins of the Voracity kingdom consider us enemies, isn't it dangerous that Uncle Oliver goes there alone?"

" Well, as long as it doesn't get caught doesn't matter"

I silently nodded. That's true what Zero said. Uncle Oliver is very good at this kind of thing. Moreover, the kingdom of Voracity is his hometown. Surely this isn't a difficult task for someone like uncle Oliver.

Elie, who had been listening to our conversation, raised her hand, making us look at her "A-anu... Doesn't it matter if I listen to you like this? I'm an outsider, right? Shouldn't that be kept a secret from outsiders?"

" Yes how else. Besides, if you're a spy, I just need to kill you" Zero replied casually. And of course that made Elie a little surprised. Being threatened like that definitely made the noble seem to be a little scared.

"Y-yes, I'm not a spy anyway" Elie replied a little stuttering.

Zero ignored Elie's words and stayed focused with the hologram screen in front of him. Since there was nothing we could do here, we planned to go to another room.

" Well, then work quietly, we go first" I said, turning around.

" Are you leaving? Though something interesting is going on" Zero said, making me stop my steps.

" What is that?"

Zero looked at me with his cynical smile "We have guests coming" he said.

" Guests?"

" Two Green Devils are lost in our territory" he said, "are you interested in Zayn?"

Ah, this girl really makes me a hobby of fighting this into a spirit. Two Devils who are in the bottom race of the demon race, namely green demons appear in our territory? Which part doesn't interest me. I want to go forward to face them. Well, if two isn't my problem.

" Well, of course..." My speech.

" I thought you must have said that. Then I'll send you forward there Zayn. You ready?"

" Anytime" I said for sure.

" Wait for Zayn, you just recovered. Are you sure?"

" Just relax, Elie, I'll be back"

" Then I send it now" said Zero. Instantly a magic circle appeared under my feet. " Neport!"

And with a flash, I was already deep in the forest, exactly about 10 meters away from those two green Devils. I can see them very clearly. Two men covering their entire bodies in wide robes with Hoodie's head covered. But their auras I can't feel. Whatisthis? Something's weird. No matter how weak the opponent he must have an aura even if only a little. But I didn't feel any aura from either of them. Then they must have used something to hide their aura. But what did they do it for?

While I was thinking, they noticed my existence and immediately looked at me from a distance. One of them took off the robe that covered him and made his entire body clearly visible. Instantly a huge demonic aura came out and burst out into all directions. This, a very large and terrible aura. He's not just any devil.

" It's true here...Magic Assosiation "he said. His heavy voice made him even more terrifying. His look looks very sly.

" You...Who are you?"

" surprised? You must have thought that all that came were weak brutes, so you only came alone.but unfortunately you were wrong" he said with a cynical smile. " My name is Margaret.. You must have heard that name, right, boy?"

I jerked. Margaret, I've heard that name. A demon with an alchemy magic equivalent to Hughes, and also nicknamed the Alchemist king.

" Margaret.si green Demon king.yes"

" That's right, kid"
