TRANSMIGRATED AS A GHOST

Chapter 183 - 182 Helicopter Marcus (2)



After having frozen the girl Francesca's hand to the railing for bullying and insulting Lilia, (and himself by proxy) Marcus floated back up and found Lilia and Alaric standing in front of a door.

Looking closely Marcus saw that Lilia had begun crying and when he looked on the door and saw what was written, Marcus nearly went back to the pack of girls and killed them all.

'Why don't you go back to the woods and join your parents.' That was what was written on the door to Lilia's room.

Marcus knew what this meant, those girls had basically told Lilia to go back home and die.

'Damn how could I have been so foolish. Did I think that Lilia would tell me if something bad was still going on? She told me a bit about her troubles at the beginning but said they were resolved. Though did I act any different when I was going to school back on Earth? No, I just gritted my teeth and took it telling my parents everyday that it was fine.'

Continuing to watch, Marcus saw Alaric run off and Lilia went inside her room and sat on the bed and cried for a few moments before slapping her face with both hands and putting on a resolute expression.

Soon Alaric came back with a bucket full of water and a couple of sponges and began helping Lilia clean off the writing on her door.

Seeing this Marcus was beginning to believe that maybe Alaric was actually a good guy even if he had ended up as Lilia's friend because he was told to.

Quickly the two of them had cleaned off the words written on the door, and after giving her a brief hug Alaric went off on his own.

Slightly conflicted Marcus decided to follow Alaric to see if he would get up to any funny business now that he was alone.

Floating along behind him, Alaric did not seem to be going to any weird area and soon arrived at his own dorm room and entered.

Once inside Marcus saw that unlike Lilia who had her door written on their were a number of harsh letters that had been slid under his door.

'Hm looks like the relationship the kingdom has with the Ice Elves is not as good as I thought judging by the number of letters calling Alaric's family traitors.'

Marcus continued to observe Alaric for a bit and waited for the boy to go to bed before he began searching his room.

Unfortunately, he did not find some secret notebook where Alaric wrote down all of his evil plans or things that would cause him to be suspicious.

'Great now I feel kind of bad snooping around this kid hoping to find something to expose him as an awful person. So far all he has been a good friend to Lilia, and it seems that it is because they are in the same boat. Though I can still not be completely sure, I still have one more full day before it is time to take Lilia with me to the Cordelia Depths.'

Seeing that the boy Alaric had gone to sleep and there was nothing to find hidden in his room, Marcus made his way back to the library and decided to see what he could learn about the Ice Elves and why some of the nobles seemed to hate them.

Floating through the long rows of library books, Marcus eventually found a book that detailed the history of the Borealia kingdom and their relationship with the Ice Elves.

'So before even the First King Boreas turned this area into a kingdom, the Ice Elf city was already within the Verkoudhied Mountains. They well predate the Borealia Kingdom, but the first king was able to establish friendly relations with them. Nevertheless, this peaceful coexistence did not last for ever as the fifth king decided to launch an attack on their city and claim it as the kingdom's territory. Except the Ice Elves defenses were far stronger than anticipated and around half of the nobles of the kingdom at that time had refused to back the effort. The kingdom's forces apparently lost spectacularly though the details of how do not seem to be here. After that the Ice Elves severed all relationships with the kingdom closing their borders. But then three generations ago around a hundred thirty years after the attack on their city, the king at the time went to repair their relationship. It apparently took decades of hard work, but the Ice Elves eventually agreed to enter a diplomatic relationship with the kingdom once again albeit far less than originally before the attack. I see and now some of the noble houses that took place in the war along with the king at that time still feel that it was the right choice and any noble being friendly with the Elves is a traitor in their minds.'

Finishing up on the limited history though detailed enough to get the overall picture, Marcus put the book away and went around looking for any other details he could find on the Ice Elves or their city.

'Well, they did not have much more other than that I found that the elves are protected by some powerful guardian. I suppose it makes sense that detailed information would not be left in a school.'

With his research into the Ice Elves done for now, Marcus passed the time until first light by reading random books, until the first members of the school came to the library, and he once again used his ghost form to disappear.

Waiting outside of Lilia's room, Marcus waited until she left to go to her first class and shadowed her throughout the day.

Carefully watching Lilia, Marcus was happy to see her working so hard in her studies and she seemed to do excellent in most of her classes, (except math, which she was just barely scraping by in.)

Marcus figured her academic success was due to her diligent nature but also her above average level and stats making her Int quite high.

Going through all of her classes Marcus found that Lilia would get back at the girls that were mean to her, in classes like magic development where Lilia who had a rare magic skill outshined them and in combat training where she would easily take down her bullies.

'Well at least I do not have to worry about her being in any physical harm. Though I think it is about time that I make sure that girl Francesca never hurts Lilia again.'

Finding the girl that was the ring leader of the girls that had been tormenting Lilia and her friends, Marcus possessed her and separated from the pack she was in.

He had already earlier located his target and quickly approached a girl who was an older student Marcus assume to be around fourteen and was surrounded by other girls and guys.

Marcus had overheard that this girl was the daughter of Duke Scriven and figured that she would be the perfect target to cause Francesca's downfall.

Walking through the group, Marcus shoved his way through the kids around her and came out in front of Duke Scriven's daughter.

The girl seeing Marcus who was currently in control of Francesca's body appear looked a bit confused and said, "You are Count Rassgat's daughter rig- "

Wham!

With a loud resounding crack Marcus using Francesca's body and slapped the duke's daughter with a tremendous force causing her face to immediately have a red hand mark on her face appear.

And just as quickly Marcus ran off leaving everyone around completely stunned, and when they came back to their wits some of them even began chasing after Marcus who was possessing Francesca.

Running around for around a minute, when Marcus was sure he had lost his pursuers he hopped out of Francesca's body and would allow nature to take its course.

'I doubt she will be able to stay in this school after that, and even if she does, tormenting Lilia is likely to be the last thing she has time for.'

Satisfied that he had dealt with Lilia's biggest problem, now that the girls ring leader was gone the other girls were less likely to bully Lilia.

'And if they do, I can always arrange embarrassing incidents for them as well. For Lilia I am willing to do just about anything to make sure she is happy.'

With his little detour complete, Marcus continued his ghostly observation of both Lilia and Alaric making sure that no funny business was up.

After the day passed and nothing of note happened except Lilia group of friends laughing about Francesca's sudden outburst and having a mini celebration since she had gotten into a heap of trouble for assaulting a higher ranking noble.

'Looks like I was worried about nothing in regard to Alaric. His grandmother may be a schemer, but he seems to be a genuinely nice guy who cares about Lilia. Of course, even watching someone for two days may not reveal if they have bad intentions. Though he is still just a kid so I highly doubt he could be a good enough actor to fool me.'

With his investigation of Alaric and Lilia's school life complete for the time being, Marcus began floating out of the royal academy and back home to make final preparation for his trip.
