Secret of the Dark Alley.

Matthias started to panic. He could not understand what was going on…

Logically speaking, all of these should have gone smoothly.

Ever since he'd unintentionally heard somebody say that this Jarrosus country bumpkin was going to leave, Matthias had put in a lot of effort. First, he'd inquired about the time he was going to leave, and then he'd sent quite a few men to keep a lookout. That morning, when he'd discovered that he was going to leave the Guild of Magic, Matthias was elated. He immediately looked for his mage mentor and asked him to stalk this Jarrosus mage and finally to finish him off in a safe place…

From Matthias' perspective, if a level-16 archmage were to take action, even ten Felics would be finished, not to mention just one Felic. He had been at ease while waiting at the Guild of Magic. He did not even go out once—he only thought of waiting for Argus to bring him good news.
