Chapter 201: After the Fact
Although it was not yet the height of summer, the weather was already very hot, and the place where the Adric Academy was located was mid-air, so it was natural to bear the heat transmitted from the huge fireball in the sky.
Even the trees that had been calling non-stop seemed to have no strength to continue making noise at this time, and stopped the irritating chirping.
The temperature outside is already so terrifying, it stands to reason that the indoor should be like a steamer, and the steaming heat will make people sweat and listless.
But after all, Adric Academy is not a product of this world, although there is no central air conditioning, which is a big killer, but for some reason, it is difficult to bear the heat outside, but the indoor is cool and comfortable, and it will not feel hot at all.
In the dean's room, the little demon Woda fanned the fan diligently, probably because of the different body structure, even if it was fanned for a while, the little demon did not show obvious fatigue, but fanned harder because of Xiwei's praise.
In fact, the leprechaun will be similar to the magic of a mage's hand, but Woda somehow came to the idea that fanning with his own hands can show more respect for his master, so he gave up using magic to fan the wind and switched to manual use.
Sivi, who didn't need to use some magic to cool down himself, was happy to relax, enjoying the cool breeze from the leprechaun while flipping through the Goddess of Truth newspaper that he had just received this morning.
As the mouthpiece of the Qiyao Mage Association, the attitude of the Mage Association towards a certain matter can often be seen from the direction of public opinion of the Goddess of Truth, and many chambers of commerce will raise funds to buy a copy of the Goddess of Truth, and then find new business opportunities through the study of some of the above factual news - such as smuggling weapons and armor to small principalities that are named to have wars. And this approach has proven to be very useful. Many clever businessmen have made a fortune from this.
However, this was not what Sivi was concerned about now, his eyes quickly skimmed from the facts and the magic research section that he usually paid the most attention to, and finally went through the entire newspaper from beginning to end several times before he was sure that the Mage Guild had not reported the attack on the Cube Prison.
But it's normal when you think about it...... Although the Cube Prison is not as good as a few first-line secret magic departments, it is also considered to be the top few in the second line in terms of the rigor of defense, and the location is still below the headquarters of the Mage Association, so the Mage Association will naturally not take out the rumors that his hometown has been copied underground.
But to be honest, who would have thought that someone would have the audacity to sneak into the base camp of the Mage Guild and go down to rob a prison. Sivi was able to successfully rob the prison and get rid of his initial diversion from the mountain. In addition to attracting the attention of some heavyweight characters to the ruins, it also took advantage of the negligence caused by the other party's habitual thinking, and the prison made of demonic jade steel has only one entrance and exit. Even if the Great Magician wanted to enter, he had to enter through the entrance unless he made a hole in the wall directly, which freed up a lot of time for Sivi. The combination of the two gave him a chance to escape - and that was when he used the Homecoming Crystal, and the criminals who managed to escape from the cube cell by just blowing it open were in some ways much better than Sivi......
Although there was no news in the newspapers about the riots in the Cube prison, Sivi did find his wanted warrant.
No, it should be 'Joseph?' Vissarionovic? Stalin's wanted warrant.
Apparently captured by the eye of a mage while entering the prison, Stalin, who was in his persona, was repeating the process of approaching from a distance on a picture in the corner of a newspaper page, and the tough guy face with the artist's mask always gave the impression that he would tear off his clothes at any moment and point to the picture and shout, 'You are dead!' 'Feelings.
There is not much information given above, but it is emphasized that this is a magician who ran to Hohenheim to make trouble, with a sinister and cunning personality, and the strength evaluation is senior intermediate to senior high-level...... And below it is speculated that he may be a key member of the Evil Church of Necessity. Let Sivi hold his stomach and laugh for a long time.

"Teacher?" Alyssa poked her head in from the doorway and whispered to Sivi.
Because several of them and Woda had already obtained permission to enter the dean's room through Sivi's consent, they were not afraid that they would be hurt by the ghost species guarding the door even if they did.
"Alyssa." Xiwei put aside the newspaper in his hand and beckoned to the girl: "Come here." β
Wait until the girl rubs in through the door. Xiwei asked, "Sophia, is that girl still angry?" β
"Yes." Hearing Sivi's question, Alyssa nodded with a wry smile, and the two golden pigtails jumped with her movements: "I'm afraid Sister Sophia will be angry for a long time." β
"Alas......" Sivi rubbed his forehead and sighed a little distressedly.
Ever since he had gone to save Evangeline from Sophia, the girl hadn't given him a good look. However, Xiwei also knew that the girl was only angry when she was worried about him, and it was not easy to deal with it for a while. So much so that I can only avoid the girl's action these days......
Seeing Sivi like this, Alyssa burst out laughing, and some of the restraint just now disappeared. Sivi's defenseless appearance reminded the girl of the days when she and he were still in that cramped mage towerβit had only been three months, but the girl felt as if years had passed. In addition, Xiwei has been busy, as his first student, the time the two have spent together in the past few months is the shortest among several people.
Unconsciously, the two of them seemed to have a slight estrangement, making the girl feel that Sivi's back seemed to be getting farther and farther away from her, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't keep up with his footsteps. But when she saw Sivi's familiar expression, her worries disappeared again.
As long as Xiwei is still her teacher, what about the vicissitudes of life or the changes in the world?
"Teacher, I'll give you a pinch on the shoulder." She ran behind Sivi with a smile on her face, and before he could say anything, she put her hands on Sivi's shoulders and kneaded them.
"Hmm... Unexpected... Well, it's very good......" Xiwei originally wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but he didn't expect the little girl's hand to be very dexterous, and the strength of kneading her shoulders was just right, which made Xiwei feel very comfortable, and the words of objection immediately turned into a comfortable moan.
"Hehe, but the teacher's shoulders are so hard, I've been too tired lately."
"After all, it's almost admissions season...... Oh, that's it...... It's hard to be idle now. β
"Teacher......" The little girl's faint voice came from behind Xiwei, and the strength in her hand was a little smaller.
"What's wrong?" Sivi immediately noticed her strangeness and asked softly.
"In the future, don't do such dangerous things, okay?" With a faint whimper, Alyssa pleaded quietly, "Sister Sophia and Sister Alice are frightened, and although Theo didn't say it, I could feel that she was worried...... And so do I. β
Xiwei was silent for a long time, then turned around and took the little girl who had pear blossoms and rain into his arms, and gently touched her head: "I'm sorry ......"
"Woo......"
"Sorry ......" (To be continued)
