February 9, seven o'clock in the morning

The riots continued, after all, the theft of the academy had never happened in the hundreds of years since the founding of the school, and it was not just theft, the other party's methods were more like brute force to rob, and it was simply a provocation to break the walls of the treasure trove with huge gargoyles

"The Staff of Destruction, I did receive it—Fukai of the clods," someone read the message carved into the wall

"It's too much! This is simply Chiguoguo's provocation! ”

"What are the guards doing?! Didn't the obvious intruders find out?! ”

"To put it bluntly, those guards are just civilians! It's too reluctant for them to fight a mage of this level, what about the nobles? Who was the teacher on duty yesterday?! ”

"Okay, it's useless to track these down now" Osman stroked his beard, but his fingers trembled a little, "We are the backbone of the kingdom, and we provide students for the kingdom to serve them, so this matter is likely to become the laughing stock of other countries, and the most important thing now should be to bring the prisoners to justice"

"What the Headmaster said is that I think this matter must be pursued as much as possible," said Langebel, the dean's personal secretary, "I have done some of my investigation this morning, and I already know the location of the clods of Fukai."

"Oh, Langebel, you're so good," Osman nodded, "worthy of my secretary"

"Before you say that, could you please take your hands off my body? Headmaster? Lange Belpi said with a smile

"Ahem," Osman coughed dryly, then removed his hand from her hip

"Now that Miss Langeber already knows the exact location of the criminal, let me do my best to inform the Kingdom's patrol team and arrest team!" Someone mentioned yì

"It's a pity, this is not advisable," Langebel pushed his glasses, "Just ask, does this kind of shame really need to disturb Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Could it be that this hospital can't even catch a small thief? ”

"Miss Langebel has a point, there is no need to use our elite in this kind of thing," one agreed, "we can solve it ourselves"

"So who would like to nominate yourself?" asked Osman

"All silent

"The best magicians have really gone to serve the country on the battlefield," Osman shook his head, "Everyone, it seems that you are all theorists."

Everyone bowed their heads in shame

"Then Principal, please allow me to recruit volunteers among the students," said Langebel, "please don't worry, I think all the students in our academy have that qualification."

"Miss Longeberg, then I allow you to do this" Osman nodded, "Indeed, they are all good nobles, and they will not lose to a mere charlatan, but please remember, you can't recruit openly, you can go and visit the better children alone"

"Yes, then rest assured, I will arrest him today," Langeberg bowed and turned away

"Dean, that guy is a thief, not a liar," someone reminded

"Really? I think I'm getting confused," Osman laughed

"But there are some things I can understand," Osman turned around, and walked slowly out of the vault

"We'll see, everybody."

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― the dividing line of recruitment

"Alas~ Yesterday, I obviously saw the talented person and Zero Louise go out shopping, but he was still followed by the demon "Churuk rolling around on the bed" and missed the opportunity in vain~ Tabasa? What do you say he bought? ”

"Weapon" The blue-haired girl who was leaning on the head of the bed and reading quietly said lightly, "Also, don't roll, it will be dirty"

"It's not my bed anyway~"

"It's mine, so it's even more bad," the girl turned to the next page of the book

Just as Churuk was about to say something, there was a knock at the door

"Who?" Churuk asked

"The president's secretary Langebel"

"Huh? The secretary of the dean? Why did you come to Tabasa for you? Truuk was surprised that this was Tabasa's room, so she wouldn't think that the other party was looking for her

"Rude," after a bow, Langebel stood in the door and didn't come in, "There's something I want to ask you for, can you?" ”

Explain

"Catching thieves sounds like fun," Churuk excitedly said, "Tabasa, do you want to go together?" ”

"Do you want to go" Tabassa closed the book "I'll be worried, so I'll go too"

"Woo~ worthy of being my good friend!" Churuk was moved: "Then let's go together!" ”

"How many people do the search party want," Tabasa asked, turning to Langebel

"About five, I'll take the lead," said Langebel, "because both of them are more famous, so I found you first."

(Actually, it's just because your dorm is closer to me,) Langebel thought to himself

"So~ if it's five, I have a recommendation," Truuk smiled

Ten minutes later

"Catch the thieves, then I'll go too!" Louise raised her wand in her hand, "It just so happened that I witnessed the other party's theft yesterday!" This kind of thing can't be ignored! ”

(When did your setting become a hot-blooded girl!) Hiraga and Takato complained fiercely in the depths of their hearts

"Then let's take the talent with us, because we want five people" Truuk looked at Hiraga talent, "right~"

"I see, no wonder you find me, you woman!" Louise gritted her teeth and said, "Don't think about it, of course I will take Chong with me this kind of thing!" ”

“”

"Chong, I think it's a good idea to pretend to have a stomachache now, but your expression doesn't look like it at all" Hiraga looked at Chong, who moved his hand to his abdomen, and said, "Don't do it, pretending to be painful will only make people think you're cute"

"It doesn't matter, the number of people is not too fixed, as long as you don't get discovered," Langebel said, "Then please bring your two envoys with you."

"See, dog, don't you hold us back," said Louise, "or if you pretend to have a stomachache now, I'll pretend I don't know and let you go."

"Me"

"Chongke can't go, you're our best combat force here" said in a very gentle tone

"Mom, my heart hurts so much, the difference in rank here is so strict" Pinghe Cairen covered his heart and fell

Chong clenched his fists

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― departing

The small group set off, riding in a carriage without a roof, and was told that it was designed to be able to escape immediately after being attacked

I suddenly understood why convertibles weren't so popular

Five people sat in the carriage (in the open air), while Longebel worked as a coachman

"Miss Langebel, wouldn't it be nice to let the attendants do the work of the car," Turuk accosted

"It doesn't matter, because I'm a man who has lost my nobility, so I don't have any aversion to this kind of work," Langebel smiled

"Huh? But you're not Orud. Osman Principal's secretary? Truuk was taken aback

"Because Your Excellency, he is not a person who is bound by his status"

"That's really forgiving," Turuk nodded, "If it's convenient, can you tell me if it's convenient?"

"There are only two crimes that can make people lose their nobility, treason, collaborating with the enemy, and torture and killing civilians," Chong said lightly

"Chong!" Louise hurriedly covered his mouth, "I'm sorry! He's just too blunt! ”

"No, it's fine, but do you think that if I committed such a crime, then I would dare to show my head like this?" Langebel smiled softly

"Then I'm talking gibberish," Chong shut up, and thanks to him saying this, Churuk had no intention of asking any further

Half an hour later

The group came to a wide area, surrounded by forest and only a clearing in the middle, with a dilapidated hut in front of it

Chong frowned

"Chong, come over to discuss the battle plan," Hiraga waved his hand and motioned for him to come over

"Hmm" brows in the blink of an eye

"Does Tabassa/Chong have any plans?" Truuk and Louise spoke at the same time

Immediately they exchanged glances

"You say it first," Tabassa said lightly

"Colossians can't go head-to-head, bait, no matter how good the magic is, it needs to be chanted" Chong said indifferently "Miss Langebel and I went in with me, with the space in the house is not enough to summon the stone statue"

"I'm still out in ambush," Langebel said ashamedly, "I'm a little scared"

"There's no need to ambush, I can directly subdue him in the house," Chong said indifferently, "but I need someone to prevent him from escaping"

"Then I'll go with you," Hiraga raised his hand and said, "I'm a boy after all."

"I don't need you, you're waiting outside" Chongzhi stared straight at Langebel, "Go or not"

"Don't force people to do this," Truuk grumbled

"Chong, since Miss Longebel is afraid, don't force her," Louise discouraged

"I'll go," Tabassa stood up

"Then just the two of you together," Chong pointed to Louise and He, "who don't know how to do magic."

"Hahahaha, laughed at by your own demons, Louise," Turuk laughed

"Whew!" Louise glared at Chong angrily, "Okay! I'll go with you! ”

Five minutes later

"Squeak" pushed open the door very casually, and then swept the room around, and sure enough, there was no one

"It's just not looking at each other at all," Churuk grumbled, while Tabassa remained motionless by her side, and Longebel went to the other side to ambush

"It's in the cupboard, you go get it, I'll wait outside" Chong motioned for Hiraga to go to the cabinet to receive the items and walked out the door, his eyes kept staring to the left, which was the location of Langebel's ambush

"Ah, really," there was a churning sound behind him

"It's been uninhabited for at least a few years, and the cobwebs have just been swept up randomly," Chong said lightly, "it was cleaned last night."

"Well, Miss Langebel said that in the car too," Louise nodded, "I found him last night."

"Then why did the other party choose to hide here" Chong continued, "If it's just to avoid the limelight temporarily, then why don't you take the Staff of Destruction with you after you go out"

"What do you mean" Hiraga was surprised, "My IQ is not high enough"

"Why do you use "he" instead of "she" Chong said, "The figure I saw yesterday was always wearing a black robe, how did she know that the other party was a man?"

"This question can also be put down" Chong glanced into the distance "came"

There was a sound of earth rising in the distance

"All in all, we are the ones who are ambushed," Chong said coldly

But it was "her" who was surrounded
