I Became a Murderer in the Academy.

After the Empire officially announced Serthia’s death, the entire nation was in an uproar.

Although she had already stepped down from her position as principal, Serthia remained one of the most influential figures in the Empire.

She was the one who single-handedly revived a crumbling Empire. The one who killed the Demon Lord and held the position of Academy principal for a long time.

There wasn’t a person in the Empire who didn’t know her name. So when news of her death spread, the whole Empire was in turmoil.

The position of Academy principal remains vacant, and many mourned, saying that a star of the Empire had gone out.

The cause of death was reported as an illness.

It was well-known that Serthia’s health had been poor for some time, so it spread that she had finally succumbed to her longstanding illness.

Some time passed after that.

Albert took over the role of Academy principal.

The one responsible for Serthia’s death returned to everyday life as if nothing had happened, fully aware of the truth.

Iria walked toward the Academy as usual.

Though a fair amount of time had passed since that day, the atmosphere at the Academy remained heavy.@@novelbin@@

There were many reasons for it, but mainly, it was because the Academy had faced a series of misfortunes.

Even without Serthia’s death, they had suffered greatly from monster attacks, and now one of the pillars that supported the Empire was gone.

It seemed that the people at the Academy didn’t want to acknowledge it. The students, and especially the professors, felt this way.

Regardless of public opinion, all the Academy professors respected Serthia.
