Chapter 43: Aftermath
The calm of the City of Glow was shattered by a piece of news. The students of the actual combat assessment of the junior magic academy were attacked by powerful magical beasts, and the whereabouts of many students are still unknown.
The news came from the mouth of the teacher in charge of the rescue, and it was originally only circulated among a few people, but suddenly there was a feeling that everyone knew about it, and Dean Will went to Wangcheng to discuss the assessment of the Intermediate Magic Academy, and he was still on his way back.
Since the matter is not of concern to most people, it is just a topic of discussion. This is the first time in recent years that an accident has occurred at a junior magic academy, so it has attracted attention.
......
In a restaurant, a large number of customers are dining. It's a mid-range restaurant, and most of the visitors are wandering warriors. A middle-aged man dressed as a hunter was discussing aloud with his companion.
"You guys don't go hunting in the Sunset Mountains recently, I heard that there are mid-level ones in the outer areas, and it's still a very powerful one! Money can't be earned, and your life matters!"
An older man next to him with scars on his face said with some surprise: "How can there be a mid-level demonic beast in the outer area? Don't talk nonsense! Next year my grandson will go to the warrior academy, and I am in a hurry to hunt a few more times to prepare for my grandson's tuition." ”
"Brother, don't you know me, I'm a talker? This is what a friend of mine told me, his cousin is a teacher at the Academy of Magic. I heard him say that the students of the Magic Academy were conducting an assessment on the periphery of the Sunset Mountain Range, and as a result, a mid-level demonic beast appeared, and more than a dozen students disappeared!"
"Why do you talk more and more outrageous, how can the students go to where to take the assessment? They have just become magicians, and they are still young, where are they not sent to death!"
At this time, another person at the table chimed in and said, "I remember that the Academy of Magic is not assessed like this! Only those from the main campus will go to the Sunset Mountain Range to practice, when will the students from the division also go there?"
The man dressed as a hunter explained with an expression of "You don't know more!" explained, "You don't know, this is an attempt by the Academy of Magic." It is said that it is necessary to train the actual combat ability of the students from the beginning, and prevent the appearance of students who can only show off. ”
"Whose bad idea is this? It's good now, the ability has not been exercised, but there are quite a few people who are frightened, and more than a dozen have died. Do you think people's families will accept it?"
"Don't talk nonsense! This is the idea of the honorary dean, he is a high-level magician, be careful of your life!"
......
In the sub-divisional college, more than a dozen teachers were surrounding Lucia asking eagerly.
"Teacher Lucia, you are the granddaughter of Dean Will, you should give a letter of approval! When will the dean come back? This matter has spread, and several students' families have come to ask for someone, we can't stand it!"
"That's it, a few of them are okay to say, there is a child of a distant relative of a nobleman who disappeared from my class, and now a nobleman is waiting for my reply!"
Lucia's face was tired and helpless, the news that came yesterday morning was spreading today, and even the students' families had already come to the academy! To say that there was no ghost among them, Lucia didn't believe it, how could it be so fast!
Yesterday there was no result in contacting grandpa, and today things are getting bigger, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and someone must have targeted grandpa after the accident!
......
Inside a luxurious room. A dignified-looking old man was questioning his subordinates.
"How's it going? This is a godsend, don't blame me for being ruthless if you don't do well!"
Kneeling below was a middle-aged man, the one dressed as a tavern hunter on closer inspection. He wore a guard uniform with a family crest, and said respectfully: "It's done, the matter has been heard, and the trouble has reached the academy, it's time for you to come forward to solve the problem, Lord Viscount." ”
When the majestic old man heard the reply, a smile appeared on his face that could not be concealed.
"You should call me Dean, it's time for people to know that I'm the real Dean. ”
"Yes, Lord Dean, Will is nothing more than a man who serves the royal family, and dares to use clever words and tricks to seize the authority of the dean, intending to replace the royal family in charge of the school. What a wolf ambition. Now it's time for him to fall!"
"That's right, you've done a great job this time, let's say, what reward do you want?"
"My lord, I want to be the head of the guard!" said the guard, delighted.
"Okay, I'm going to preside over the overall situation now, you can step back first!"
"Yes!"
The guard replied and turned to leave, but a sword of light sanction pierced the back of his heart. The guards lay in pools of blood.
"My lord, why do you ......?" the guard asked, puzzled.
"You want too much, it's your duty to do things for me, and only the dead keep secrets, and it's your honor to be loyal to me. ”
The guards suddenly understood why the chief guard had pushed this task to himself. Then the corners of his mouth lost his life with a hint of self-deprecation.
"Clean up. ”
The old man gave the order and went out, without even looking at the corpses on the ground.
The old man rode to the Academy of Magic in a carriage and came to the dean's room. The assistant who handled the chores said in surprise: "Viscount Filied, why are you here?"
"It seems that no one cares about me as the dean since I've been gone for too long, and you should call me dean instead of viscount in the academy! You go and tell all the teachers to come over for a meeting and discuss a solution. ”
"Yes, Dean!"
"You behave well, someone has to be responsible for this time, I don't want you to be one. ”
Felied said with a warning.
Stop a spirit, knowing that the dean is afraid that he is going to make a big move, and the sky of the academy is about to change! I don't know how many people will be unlucky now......
"What? Dean Felied is going to hold a meeting? Why is he here at this time, he must not be a good one!"
Lucia smelled danger, her grandfather had not returned, and at this time Dean Philid intervened, and he must have bad intentions. But there is only one step at a time.
The Junior Academy of Magic has one main campus and one branch campus in Glowlight City, as well as seven or eight branch campuses in other surrounding areas. The main campus is headed by Filied, with Will in charge, and the branch campuses have always been run by Will alone. This time, Felied came for the management rights of the branch campus.
More than 30 teachers from the branch campus came to the conference hall, and Felied was sitting at the top of the room. After the teachers were seated, the alarm bell rang for the start of the meeting, and the audience was silent.
"There was a major accident at the branch campus this time, and it has already caused a lot of trouble. Dean Will has not yet returned, but the situation is urgent, and we cannot wait any longer! If we fail to deal with it in time, it will be a huge blow to our college. That's why I convened this meeting to quickly discuss a solution. ”
Felied paused, glanced for a week, and continued:
"If you have any good ideas, let's talk about them, but it's best to have valuable ideas, time is urgent, and we can't afford to delay!"
Let people express their opinions, but also don't let people express their opinions, a kind of teacher, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know whether to say it or not. However, at this moment, Lucia stepped forward.
"I think this incident was just a simple accident, just like the previous Warcraft attacked the village and city, and it couldn't be completely avoided. What appeared this time was a sixth-order earth-walking dragon, which should be a rare xenomorph. What we have to do is to catch the monster that made a mess and give everyone an explanation, and then compensate the victims. ”
Some of the teachers nodded after hearing this, feeling that what they said was reasonable, and that the accident did happen suddenly, without warning and out of common sense.
"What you say is true, but do you think that an accident can calm the anger of the families who have lost their children? besides, an accident in the Sunset Mountains is to be expected, and the action itself is not well thought out. ”
"Dean Felied said so, this actual combat assessment was also set up in the footsteps of the Intermediate Magician Academy in Wangcheng, how could it be that there was a lack of consideration? As for those parents, from the moment they sent their children to the Magic Academy, their children were destined to be accompanied by danger. Magicians are powerful and at the same time often face danger. ”
"But there is no accident in other colleges, only our academy has undergone major changes! ”
The rest of the teachers looked at the dispute between the two of them, and some didn't know what to say. Dean Felied on one side, and Dean Will on the other, can't afford to offend both!
At last Felied's patience ran out, and he slapped the table and said in a loud voice:
"I'm not here to argue with me! What you have to do is come up with a solution, and if you can't make a reasonable deal about it, shut up! ”
After speaking, a powerful coercion covered the entire conference room, and all the teachers were shocked.
"High mage! Dean Flied is already a high mage!" said one of the teachers in surprise.
Dean Filied, as the chief dean and viscount, has always been inferior to Dean Will, because of the difference in strength. Filied was a sixth-order intermediate magician, while Dean Will was a seventh-order high-level magician. Don't underestimate the gap between this level, there is a huge gap between the intermediate and senior levels, and there is also an irreparable gap in strength. This gap is no longer something that the status of the aristocracy can make up.
But today Philid showed his strength as a high-level magician, and the gap was greatly narrowed, and at this time, with his royal status, it seemed to have a great deterrent effect. Lucia wanted to say something, but the huge oppression made her unable to speak, and intermediate magicians were not qualified to speak in front of high-level magicians!
"Since the teachers don't have a better solution, let's do it the way I say. If anyone has any more complaints, don't blame me for being rude!"
In the end, Fried made the final decision, and he was to pacify, compensate, and intimidate the families of the victims in his dual capacity as royal and dean. Publicly admit the mistakes of the college's decision-making, remove the position of the relevant person in charge, and have the dean come forward to arrest the monster that caused trouble. Finally, it was announced that all the participants in the assessment had passed.
