The Editor Is An Extra Chapter 49: Did you know about it?

Spira city was a small city located at the northern reach of the Kamar continent, so it was pretty isolated. Basically at one edge of the human domain.

One would think such a city would be protected by a garrison of powerful individuals, but such was not the case.

Instead, the strongest aetherial residing in the city was the city lord who was only an Eta ranked aetherial. And with the way he was, the who had just transmigrated would absolutely ss him up.

It wasn’t that the city produced no talented individuals, no, far from it actually. The city was just like a country side back on earth. Talented individuals would migrate to other other big cities to look for greener pastures, or a better life.

Especially youths who would want to go to the institutes to learn better about their powers and whatnot. It was a cycle that would never end. Jayden and her ring of heretics were based here due to that very fact. The city couldn’t defend against them.

Now in the city lord’s case, he was simply overpowered, and probably promised power. And although he wasn’t a heretic yet, that wouldn’t have been the case for long if we hadn’t arrived.

Even if I gave him the benefit of the doubt and said he had no other choice, what stopped him from contacting the other big cities? Or sending a discrete ssage to the empire?

Andthat was the reason why I decided, even though I guessed he was probably threatened into cooperation by the heretics, he still had to die.

Was it cruel to him? Maybe. But it was even crueler to the children kidnapped. And the parents who lost their children. I’d say if I was in his place, I probably would have done the sa to keep my life, but that wasn’t even possible. I don’t see anything that could turn into soone like him.

Sure I was a coward, but there was a limit, even to cowardice. Maybe I was just bragging, and in his place I would do the sa, but all those were what ifs.

Anyway, a mont earlier, Anastasia and my reflection had just reached us, when the voice of the city lord sounded.

"From today onwards, all of you will be celebrated as the heroes of this city." The city lord announced.

Just as I was thinking about the most effective way to silently kill him without it being traced back to , Anastasia opened her mouth.

"Oh cut the bullshit."

Everyone turned to us. My reflection tactily took a few steps away from her.

’What’s going on in her head?’ I thought. Did she know about the involvent of the city lord? Surely not, even I only suspected him because I had a much broader scope from reading the novel.

"Miss Necron!

"Sia!"

Alistair and Delilah exclaid simultaneously. "I’m glad you’re safe." Delilah said walking towards Anastasia while glaring at my reflection standing a few feet away from the redhead. "Stay away from that... guy. He’s not a good man." Delilah not so subtly said as she grabbed Anastasia’s hands.

I rolled my eyes, dismissing my reflection. This was getting old. What could I possibly do to soone who could fold without even trying. Though I also didn’t hide my glare. I openly glared back at her.

The atmosphere grew a little awkward until Alistair coughed.

"Ahem! Ms Necron, you said sothing about cutting the bullshit. Might I know what you ant by that?"

"Ah, pardon ." The city lord nervously interjected before Anastasia could speak. "I didn’t know there were more of you." He said with an uneasy smile.

’God, she knows.’ I deadpanned, seeing the look she threw the obese man. "Nothing much." she said. "Other than this man is working with the heretics." She gestured at the city lord.

Silence.

There was nothing more deafening than the silence in the area after Anastasia dropped the bomb.

"W...w...what nonsense are you saying?!" The city lord exclaid as every eyes turned to him. "I might not be a great leader, but I’d never commit such an atrocity."

_"Yeah, there no way his Lordship would do that!" One of the city lord’s guards raised his voice.

_"This is blatant framing, you’re trying to sow discord!" Another said.

_"We might be grateful for your help, but that doesn’t an we’ll endure this!" added another.

"Tsk, mobs." I shook my head. If there was any character worse than an extra, that would be a mobs. Mobs could change sides faster than you could say mob.

"This is getting a little intense, Sia." Delilah said worriedly. "What made you say so?"

"Would you shut the fuck up?! You’re blowing off my ears." It wasn’t until Fabian snapped that the frantic mob kept quiet.

"I’m wrong is what you’re saying?" Anastasia anwhile tilted her head. "What do you have to say about this then?" a small flat black case appeared in her hand.

’A graphic mirror?’ I thought. A graphic mirror was basically an over glorified na for a magic cara. It could capture and store both images, and videos. It also functioned like a phone, basically you could faceti soone, albeit it functioned through magic, not tech.

I used to have one before, but after I was kicked out, I never bothered to buy another. Now that I think about it, I should get one for myself.

Anastasia flipped open the case, and with a few taps here and there, she turned the case towards everyone.

Two people were clearly visible on it.

Dion turned to .

"Is it just , or does this scene seem familiar?" he whispered.

"Of course it seems familiar." Why the hell wouldn’t it?, after all, it was showing both the city lord, and the blond man, the exact sa scene Dion and I had witnessed yesterday.

"The boss wants you to know, so pretty suspicious people have been spotted coming into this city today, and she wants you to find them out." the blond man said.

"O...o...of course." the city lord replied hastily. "I’ll do my best to find them."

Everyone stared as the scene continued, to the point where the blond man called out, our conversation, how I ’insulted’ his so called Lord Jin, and how he attacked , to how I broke down into sparks.

By the ti the clip ended, the gazes of everyone were divided into two. So were on the increasingly pale city lord, and the rest on .

The ones who had their gazes on , were our classmates. I especially took notice of Anastasia’s teasing gaze.

’So this bitch was there all along huh?’ I mused. I had to give it to her, she really knew how to play. Now everyone would think I knew this and didn’t tell them.

"You knew about this?" Fabian grumbled.

"Why didn’t you tell us?" Delilah squinted her eyes, sending a righteous glare. The nerve of her, after all this ti of saying she didn’t trust .

I opened my mouth, but before I could say anything,

"It’s a fake!" The city lord exclaid. "They are doing all this to fra !" He cried at his people. "Hmph, as if." I scoffed. Who would go to such great lengths to fra soone as unimportant as him?

Even with the city lord’s protest, it was as clear as day that he was lying. The guards accompanying him slowly lost the reverent look they had for him.

"Believe , they...."

Thuack!

Before anyone could realize, a precise hand chop from Fabian knocked the hysterical man unconscious.

"Shut the fuck up." he muttered as the man collapsed on his carriage.

Ignoring the unconscious man, Alistair turned to .

"So you did know about it." His eyes narrowed looking at .

I turned to him.

"You are right." I heaved a weary sigh. "But let also clarify sothing." I glanced at Anastasia who was still giving a subtle sly smirk.

"Miss Necron and I were in on it together. I made them aware of my presence just so we could have a conclusive evidence on record." I shalessly lied.

"It was also part of our plan that both of us would disagree during the plan to siege the heretics’ base." I continued.

"Otherwise, why else would miss Necron raise an issue with during the plan to save innocent children, all while knowing it could jeopardize their lives?"

"Isn’t that right, Miss Necron?" I turned to the redhead with a not so subtle provocative smirk.

Now she had no choice but to admit what I said was the truth. If she denied it, it would show that she disagreed with over her own pride, and it would also show that she didn’t care about the children.

"Yes, he’s right." she nodded in agreent, her earlier smile strained slightly. "It was both of our plan."

’That’s right bitch, you’re a hundred years to young to win against .’ I thought in glee.
