Chapter 20: Noble Academy
Winston University, one of the most famous aristocratic schools in and around Wildas, is famous not because of the breadth of knowledge it teaches its students, but because the students in this school are the children of what Wildas calls high society, and everyone comes here for the sole purpose of accumulating enough contacts before inheriting their family's estate or title.

What is taught in this school is completely different from those of the civilian schools, where students are required to learn all kinds of social etiquette and activities that belong to the upper class, such as fencing and painting, which are useless but sound quite elegant.
Someone may ask what about the knowledge of the students? Don't forget that these people are all rich and expensive, and few private teachers are too embarrassed to go out and greet others? Besides, how can a real skill be taught extensively?
Of course, these upper-class people will try their best to hire the best professionals they can find to teach their children, relatively speaking, although the school can also hire strong enough professionals, but the one-to-one and one-to-many teaching effect does not need to be thought about and know which is better and which is bad.
As a result, Winston University eventually gave up teaching in all its professions and devoted all its energy to cultivating students' social skills, which made them famous, and they also received a considerable amount of sponsorship, and in this way, they continued to improve themselves.
Until now, the university has occupied a large area in Dongcheng District, with various buildings rising from the ground, the university name plate shining golden in the sun, and the spacious and atmospheric school gate so that everyone can notice this school at first sight, and Watson is certainly no exception.
Winston University is so famous, so basically anyone in the East City District can accurately tell its location, Watson out of the Demon Hunting Guild called a carriage, as soon as he opened his mouth, the coachman took him as a person who went to visit Winston University, and along the way, he also forcibly popularized the location of many Winston University attractions, which made him a little crying and laughing.
When he got off the bus at the gate of Winston University, Watson looked at the flow of people and felt the fame of this school, of course, these had nothing to do with him, and after finding the doorman to show the guild seal on his task scroll, someone immediately guided him to the place where the person in charge of this aspect of the school was located.
"Mr. Harvin, the person you asked me to wait for has arrived. β
The doorman stood outside the door and knocked on the door, and Watson looked up at the nameplate next to the door, on which three gilded words were engraved on the Foreign Affairs Office.
It didn't take long for the door to open, and it was a middle-aged man with brown hair who gave Watson the impression of being serious, he first nodded to the doorman, then looked at Watson and said, "Your Excellency is probably a demon hunter, please come in." β
"Mr. Harvin, my name is Watson, and I'm here to complete the task you've entrusted to our guild. In order to start the mission smoothly, I want to know some details, which should be real enough that I can explain the situation before and after the incident. β
Watson entered the door and explained that he needed enough information to carry out the mission, and told Harvin not to try to hide anything, otherwise it would only make the matter more difficult.
"Uh...... As you wish, it was a shame for us to have such a thing as an institution of higher learning, but now I will know everything in order for students to learn and develop better. β
Harvin was stunned by Watson's straightforward words, but his excellent quality still allowed him to immediately adjust his state and begin to tell the story of this incident.
The first time it happened was last week, when a few students ran to the school's security office to deal with school affairs and said that they saw a ghost in the back garden of the school, and the garrison quickly dealt with the situation reported by a large number of students, that is, first blocked the back garden and then squatted, as a result, on the second night of squatting, a guard found the ghost, this is not a trivial matter, so as the person in charge, the head of the garrison immediately uploaded the news and asked his subordinates to block the news.
The first thing that the senior leaders of the school thought of after knowing was not to let the Demon Hunter Guild deal with it, but to let the people in the garrison quickly deal with this inexplicable ghost, but it backfired, although the ghost is not strong, but the one in the back garden is definitely not weak, and several successive encirclements and suppressions have ended in failure and injured several guards, which is nothing, and the school will naturally give these people rich compensation.
Until the third night of the blockade news,The accident still happened,A few students don't know where to get the news that there is a mysterious thing in the back garden,Discuss and enter the back garden that night,Bad luck and one death and three injuries,There are not a few people who know their actions,So the next day,Rumors of monsters in the back garden immediately became noisyγ
At this time, the school couldn't hide it, so it could only spend a lot of money to suppress the matter and issue a task to the Demon Hunting Guild, but young people love adventure, plus these pampered young masters and young ladies want to seek excitement all day long, the sign standing outside the back garden that prohibits anyone from entering not only has no effect, but it is more like an invitation to those who want to seek excitement, not a forbidden area, they are really not interested!
As a result, there were several victims without any accidents, and there were not many people who died, but there were several crazy, and then ordinary young people began to feel scared, but a group of people who thought they had some strength after being privately taught by professionals were restless, and they thought all day long about going into the back garden to prove their strength, and by the way, they got the magical treasures inside...... In their eyes, this is definitely an opportunity to make a name for themselves in Wildas.
Fortunately, the school sent additional personnel to patrol outside the back garden all night, and did not let these people in to get in close contact with the ghosts inside.
"It's a little late, but at least your remedies are good, you have to use coercion against these young people, the no-entry sign seems to them to invite them in, fortunately you stopped the people behind, otherwise I can't guarantee that I can get rid of this ghost." β
Watson said his opinion expressionlessly, and between the words, those students seemed to have become hairy boys, but he didn't know that he was not much older than them.
"Does stopping them have anything to do with your ability to solve the ghost......? Can the ghost draw power from those students?"
As if thinking of some of the information he had read before, Harvin frowned and was obviously worried about the current situation.
"You're right, ghosts become stronger as undead creatures by absorbing people's souls, the initial guards were only injured, which proves that the ghost ability at that time was not very strong, and these well-trained guards were helpless, at most they were panicked and injured a little, but those students couldn't resist its attack, death or mental insanity are due to soul damage, I think now the ghost's ability has been greatly enhanced, and it is waiting for you to send people in." β
Watson pretended to frown and worry on his face, but in fact, he was secretly happy in his heart, what he wanted to encounter most now was this kind of monster that likes to devour souls, because liking to absorb souls means that the soul power of this type of monster itself is definitely strong enough! Who made Watson himself a "monster" who needs to devour souls, this kind of mission goal is also a tonic for him.
"Would you like to take you to see it now? Ghosts only appear at night, so I can accompany you in now to familiarize yourself with the terrain of the back garden. β
Harvin said with a gesture of please.
"Of course, apart from that, Mr. Harwin, have you sent someone to collect the impressions of the ghosts from the students who have seen them? This is just as important as when we go to the back garden to survey the terrain, and I may be able to get some information about the ghost's abilities from them, which will be of considerable help to me in dealing with the ghost. β
Ghosts have a variety of abilities, and they also have different types, and now Watson wants to use the students who have seen ghosts to determine which type of mission he is targeting.
"Hmm...... I see, the only students who have been in contact with ghosts at school are Mr. Harry and Mr. Fawkes, who are in second year, and I think it's their free time between classes, so let me show you there. β
Moving towards the door, Harvin said, glancing at the timetable behind the door.
So Watson followed Harvin to meet the two hapless students, their classrooms were not far from the Foreign Affairs Office, and after looking at the beautiful buildings of the school for five minutes, a large building that said to be a school building and more like a villa appeared in front of him.
The students he met along the way were all wearing summer uniforms, and Watson's gaze stopped on the thighs of the passing female students and retracted them, not because his conscience found it, but because more people had their eyes on him, the slender trench coat, the bulging waist, and the black reverse cross swaying with the pace around the neck, it didn't take much time to betray Watson's identity to the knowledgeable students, plus the overly young and cold face It was difficult not to attract attention!
"Go and get Harry and Mr. Fawkes out, this gentleman is going to ask them some questions, don't alarm the other students, understand?"
Harvin didn't look around at all, and concentrated on leading Watson to a platform that jutted out of the villa, and then asked the passing teacher to call the two students out.
"Hello, Mr. Harvin. β
It wasn't long before the two students appeared in front of Watson and bowed to Harvin.
"Hello two, this is Lord Watson the Demon Hunter, and he will ask you some questions that you need to answer truthfully. β
Harvin leaned sideways, revealing Watson behind him.
"I want to know...... What is this young lady standing in front of me for?"
As soon as Watson was about to speak, a figure suddenly rushed out and stood in front of him, either someone else or Miss Eliza, who met on the train.
Faced with Eliza, who looked at him with an expression that caught you again, Watson said that he was very busy now and didn't want to have anything to do with her, so he deliberately pretended not to know her, which was very embarrassing for Miss Eliza, who rushed over.
