The School's Seven Kings of Chaos

[C 02] Scarlet Red Blood

TIMOTHY

"YOU were a detective?!"

I knew his secrets but not this.

"Wait, you didn't tell your friend about your past?"

"I was finding the right time to let him know. And YOU spoiled it."

"Wait, wait. What happened in the past?"

"Ask the detective himself."

What did happen in the past?

I heard a phone ring. Probably a text message? Danica pulled out her phone and she was surprised, I guess? She took a piece of paper with something written on it, unusually composed of numbers, and gave it to Zeth. She hurriedly went out of the palace.

"What's written in there?"

"Take a look for yourself"

21-18-25-3 14-8 25-23-15-5-14-5-12

"Eh? What is this?"

"A code."

"A code, huh... Wait! Have you solved it yet?"

"Yes."

"What does it mean?"

"Solve for yourself"

"You do know that I am not a detective or somewhat like that, right?"

"Well, let me help you with that. You will need training. This code must be decrypted twice. First, the alphanumeric code. It's a  common code. You know it, right?"

"Yes."

"Then do it."

I decrypted it and I still I don't understand what the code means.

URYC NG YVOENEL

"What does this mean?"

"I told you, you need to decrypt it twice. Substitution cipher is the next key."

"And...How do I do it?"

"Look at this."

A  B  C  D  E   F   G  H  I  J   K  L M
N O  P  Q  R   S   T  U  V W X  Y  Z

"Change A to N, vice versa. B to O, O to B, C to P, P to C. You get it right?"

"Yes."

HELP AT LIBRARY

"Help at Library!"

"I'll help her there, then go to classes."

"K. I'll just stay here."

ZETH

"Don't trust him much, huh? I see that's your message."

As a king, I can not go to classes. I'll just take a nap.
