Chapter 34: Verbal War

"Orc ......" Although Brandon had already arrived, Kenneth had already spoken.

"Oh...... It's over......," Brandon said, holding his head in rue.

Clair glanced at Brandon coldly, then at Kenneth, clasped his hands on his chest, and said with an unkind face: "What orcs?" What the hell is going on? ”

Kenneth didn't know why Brandon was trying to stop him, so he honestly told Claire what had happened yesterday.

Claire tapped her fingers rhythmically on the table, and after listening to Kenneth's slightly verbose narration, she looked at Brandon, who was standing uneasily in the doorway, and asked nonchalantly, "Your name?" ”

"Huh? What the? Brandon was so excited to see his idol that he seemed a little absent-minded.

Claire frowned, nodded to the round table and said, "Come and talk." ”

I saw Brandon walking up to Claire like a young girl, which made Claire's brows furrow even tighter, and asked Kenneth, "Is he your roommate?" ”

Kenneth nodded.

"He's always been like this?" Clare asked.

Kenneth hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, Bran should have seen that you were too nervous to do this." ”

Claire nodded, then looked at Brandon standing beside him and said, "Your name?" ”

"Boo, Brandon Gale! From the town of Nice, Hoover, Geraldine Region! Brandon looked up and tried to make a good impression in front of his idol.

"What are you doing here?" Claire's eyes sharpened.

Brandon's tongue knotted suddenly: "I, I'm coming, coming, that, looking for Kenneth." ”

Clare continued to ask, "What are you looking for Kenneth for?" At the same time, leaning forward slightly, Brandon put mental pressure.

Brandon immediately began to sweat on his forehead, and when his eyes came into contact with Clare's eyes, he completely gave up his resistance and confessed, "I'm here to ask Kenneth not to tell you about Naruto being an orc!" ”

"Oh?" Claire raised an eyebrow, "Why do you want to do this?" ”

Brandon simply said honestly, "We want the student council to think that Naruto is just a humanoid monster and protect him." ”

"Hmph, do you really think of our student council as an ordinary person? We wouldn't recognize any orcs? Smart! Claire snorted.

Kenneth and Brandon were both stunned, Kenneth looked at Clal in surprise and said, "President, are there still orcs in the Empire?" ”

"How is that possible? The state religion regards humans as the supreme creature of the creator god, and even the dragon is called the birth gift of the creator god to mankind, and the other races are regarded by them as alien and mutilated products that must be removed, and they say that this is the human race to make up for the creation god's mistakes. So do you think there may still be orcs in the empire? Claire sneered.

It's not the first time Kenneth and Brandon have known about this, but their hearts are still a little heavy, neither of them is an Anglican, but they still can't accept the slightly radical teachings of the Anglican Church.

"So how did the student council recognize the orcs? After all, orcs have only appeared in legends, huh? Brandon asked strangely.

Claire glanced at the two of them and asked, "Don't you know that you haven't heard of the Empire's Rangers?" ”

Kenneth's eyes flashed with a blank look, but Brandon seemed to have heard the word, and hesitated, "I think I've heard ......"

Claire raised his forehead: "Are all the current freshmen so lacking in common sense...... Forget it, I'll tell you. The Ranger was formed more than 300 years ago by His Majesty the Emperor at the suggestion of the Prime Minister and the Speaker of the Hexagram Council, with the purpose of exploring the world beyond the Four Holy Mountains of the Empire and gathering intelligence. ”

Kenneth and Brandon were both learning about the Rangers for the first time, and their eyes were curious.

"But according to the information collected now, the world outside the empire is indeed ruled by demons as the legend goes, and there must be a city ruled by demons within a hundred miles of the four passes except for the Selangora Pass in the southeast, and there are demons patrolling the field from time to time, and once they meet it, it will inevitably be a dead end. After more than 300 years of exploration and countless sacrifices, mankind has barely drawn a rough map of the country, and the range is only 500 kilometers. One of the pieces of information that was obtained was that somewhere north of the empire, there was another country, and that was the Orc Kingdom. Therefore, for ordinary people, the mysterious orcs have long been known to the upper echelons of the empire, and naturally include the Luther School of Magic. ”

"And what are you going to do with Naruto?" Brandon asked worriedly.

"Naru? That must be the orc's name, right? Clair thought for a moment and said, "The body structure of orcs is very different from that of humans, and the orc language is also very valuable, I think the professors of the animal taming department, the magic department, and the history department should be very interested in him, so I will give it to them for study." ”

"Research?" Kenneth was surprised, "Naruto is not a monster but an orc, how can you study it?" ”

Clair looked at Kenneth and asked, "Then tell me why he can't be studied?" ”

"Uh......" Kenneth and Brandon got stuck one after another, not knowing what to say.

"If nothing else, let's get out." Carla said ruthlessly, looking down to confirm what appeared to be a schedule document.

Brandon pursed his lips, but couldn't think of any reason to change Clal's decision, and Kenneth gritted his teeth, stood up and said loudly, "Because Naruto is our friend!" ”

Brandon's eyes lit up, and he echoed Kenneth, "Yes, Kenny is right, Naruto is our friend, so we can't use it for research!" ”

Hearing this, Clal looked up at the two of them and said, "Do you think this can change anything?" Get out. Then he lowered his head and went back to work.

Kenneth and Brandon bowed their heads in frustration and were about to leave the president's office when they suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Claire raised her eyebrows, looked up and said, "Please come in." ”

I saw Mick walk into the office, followed by Jasmine, who was blushing slightly.

Kenneth was stunned for a moment, and then he heard Clall ask, "Mick, are you looking for me?" ”

Mick nodded and said, "That's right, President, I'm here to file departmental charges. ”

Claire, Kenneth, and Brandon were all stunned, all three of them assuming that Mick was here to deal with Naru's problem, but that didn't seem to be the case.

Caral quickly regained his composure and asked, "Tell me who you are accusing and what it is." ”

Mick cleared his throat and said aloud: "As the head of the Ministry of Security, I have accused the Ministry of Discipline of interfering in the affairs of our ministry without authorization, and took away and detained the target of our ministry's commission, an orc named 'Naru', without the knowledge of me and Minister Kenneth Lancellott. I hope that the chairman will be able to return the mission of our ministry as soon as possible. ”

"I see, after all, it's still for one thing...... "Claire curled the corners of her lips and said to Mick with an admiring look on her face, "So what proof do you have that orc is the target of your commission?" ”

Mick gave up a position so that Klar could see Jasmine behind him, and then said, "This is the client of my department, Jasmine." The minister and I accepted her commission to investigate the monsters that have appeared in the academy in recent days, and successfully completed the commission. However, at the time of the delivery of the commission, the target of our ministry was taken away by the Ministry of Discipline without permission, so I ask the chairman to give us a fair ruling. ”

Claire looked at Jasmine, who had her head down, and asked in a deep voice, "Jasmine...... Right? Are you their principal? ”

“…… Yes, yes! Yes! Jasmine's voice became shrill as soon as she was nervous, and she accidentally bit her tongue.

"You don't have to be so nervous." Clare continued, "What about the commission?" ”

"It's, it's the same as Mie and Mick said, they said......" Jasmine whispered.

Claire's brow furrowed again, and she said, "Please repeat it specifically. Also, please be louder. ”

"Okay, okay!" Jasmine shuddered, but couldn't speak for a long time.

Seeing that Jasmine was so nervous, Mick gently put her on Jasmine's shoulder and said gently, "Don't be afraid, Jasmine, it's okay." ”

As if infected by Mick's tone, Jasmine gradually relaxed, took a breath and said, "I entrusted the security department to help me investigate the campus monster!" ”

Claire nodded, then asked another question, "So Mick, how do you prove that the orc is the target of the commission?" ”

"Last night there were five people in our dormitory involved in this commission, and the other three except me and the Minister can testify, and Brandon, who is standing next to you, is one of them, and he saw with his own eyes the process by which Minister Kenneth caught the orcs." Mick said confidently.

Claire looked at Brandon, who naturally knew how to answer, and immediately said, "That's right, what Mick said is completely true, and the process of Kenny catching Ming is all what I saw with my own eyes." I dare to swear to the hero Theo, I am definitely not lying! ”

At this point, Krar had a complete understanding of Mick's plan, so he nodded and applauded, looked at Kenneth and said, "This deputy minister of yours is much smarter and more difficult to deal with than your minister." ”

Kenneth just grinned and said, "Of course! ”

Such an attitude made Clal stunned, but he still shook his head and looked at Mick and said: "Deputy Minister of Security Mick, I admit that your accusation is valid, and your ministry can take away the entrusted target from the Ministry of Discipline and Discipline." ”

Kenneth and Brandon looked at each other with a smirk, then cheered.

"But," Claire said with a calm face, "now that the commission has been completed, can I, as the student council president, exercise my authority and decide what to do with that orc?" ”

Kenneth and Brandon, who were cheering, froze, as if time had stood still, and there were still stunned expressions on their faces.

Claire admired Kenneth and Brandon's expressions with satisfaction, but she didn't see any panic on Mick's face, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, President, but you don't have the authority to dispose of Naruto." Mick seemed to have expected this, and said calmly to Claire.

Claire was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "According to Article 3 of the 'Basic Norms of the Student Union of Lutheran Academy of Magic', Chapter 2, 'Student President', Section 2, 'Power', which stipulates, 'The student president has the power to dispose of the property of various departments, including distribution, allocation, confiscation and other forms of punishment that are not listed'. I think Mick you also need to familiarize yourself with the rules and regulations of our student union. ”

Mick smiled when he heard this: "I think the minister should review the rules and regulations of the student union." According to Article 6 of Chapter 3, Section 4, Section 4, Section 6 of the Basic Rules of the Student Union of the Lutheran School of Magic, 'Departments', 'Property', 'Each department has free discretion over property obtained by accident other than the department's funds'. Therefore, as the property obtained by accident of our department, our department has the right to dispose of it freely, and you have no right to interfere with it. ”

"You think of that orc as a 'windfall'?" Claire took the "Basic Norms of the Student Union of the Lutheran School of Magic" from the desk behind him, and flipped to the norms that Mick said, and sure enough, it was exactly the same as what Mick said, but he still found a place to fight back.

Mick, on the other hand, smiled mildly and said, "If the guild leader insists on using Naruto for research, then he is naturally a 'treasure'. However, if the president does not regard Ming as a 'property', then Ming is the opposite of the 'person', then according to the eighth article of Chapter 3, Section 3 of the "Basic Norms" "Personnel", "when recruiting new students in the department, in addition to the prescribed number of people, only the consent of the student president is not required, except for personnel outside the school", Ming has become a member of our department, and you naturally do not have the power to 'punish'. So, President, no matter how you refute it, Naruto is a 'property' or a 'person' belonging to our Ministry of Security. ”

"This is Naruto's application form. Minister, please sign. Kenneth immediately signed his name in front of Clare.

Mick's words, along with the application form in front of him, seemed to be the last step, completely "checkmate" Krar.

Claire looked at the document on the table with Kenneth's unsightly signature, pondered for a long time, and was speechless.
