Chapter 18: Glove Holders
As for the matter of the magic licker, the academy dealt with it quickly, after all, it was necessary to give a reasonable explanation to the students, so not long after Liszt returned to the dormitory, he was called out again and went to the academic affairs building to answer.
Of course, at the same time, there were also Lei Zhen and Charlotte, who disappeared before, and gave the most detailed account of Felix and the magic licker.
And because it doesn't have much to do with him—
He only participated in the final battle, and he only went with him because of Kimberly's orders, so as soon as the questioning was over, he was let back.
Lei Zhen needs to lead the teacher and staff to the locker to examine Lisette's body to make sure that Felix is the real sinner.
So after returning to the dormitory, Liszt didn't care about the situation outside, released Polla, and once again pondered Polla's transformation method.
"It seems that we still have to work on ammunition......"
……
Then the next day, in the morning, the college held a college-level award conference.
"Now hold the twilight of the Royal Karakuri Academy of Val Bruggis for the qualification ceremony." Edward Rutherford, the head of the college, stood on the podium and proclaimed.
Val Bruggis is the official name of the Royal Karakuri Academy, which is the shortness of what outsiders conveniently call it.
After all, there is nothing wrong with the fact that the academy is a royal establishment.
In the same way, the Night Feast is the accepted name, and the Dusk of Valbrudis is the official name, or rather a name that is only popular within the Royal Karakuri Academy.
Participating in the qualification ceremony is to give the corresponding gloves, and it is also a kind of identity authentication.
"Reizhen Akabane, please step forward." Dean Edward called.
Lei Zhen stepped out of the crowd and came to Edward's face.
"In the name of I, Edward Rutherford, I recognize Your Excellency as a candidate for the Demon King." With that, Edward picked up the tray with gloves in front of him and handed it to Lei Zhen: "Allow you to participate in [Dusk of Val Bruggis]. Congratulations, you're a glove holder from the beginning. ”
Then Edward withdrew his arm and shouted at the student again, "Liszt, please come forward." ”
Liszt also walked out of the crowd and came to Edward.
"In the name of I, Edward Rutherford, I recognize Your Excellency as the candidate for the Demon King......" Then another set of processes, Liszt also got the qualification for the night banquet because of the battle last night.
"I hope you will be worthy of this title and be an excellent puppet to be a model for your students." Edward encouraged the two of them.
"Okay."
……
"I didn't expect to get the qualification for the night banquet so easily." After witnessing the end of the conference, Liszt, who came to Kimberly's professor's office again, looked at the black leather gloves on the guards and sighed.
"Whose credit do you think it's for?" Kimberly chuckled.
"Teacher?" Liszt was surprised.
"Under normal circumstances, only the person who defeated Felix independently will be eligible to inherit his glove seat. However, because of your relationship, Akabane Raizhen didn't succeed, but it doesn't make sense not to reward Akabane Raizhen who discovered Felix and the true face of the magic licker, plus the prisoner is a member of the Discipline Committee who manages the behavior of ordinary students, even in order to calm down the discussion, someone needs to come out to divert the attention of the students, so after discussion, it was decided to grant you Val Bruggis Dusk qualification. ”
"Among them, Akabane Rai is really ranked 99th, and you are 100th."
"Why am I the last one?" Liszt was surprised.
"Because it was Akabane Reijin who discovered the truth about Lisette's death and prevented Felix from killing Charlotte Birao, and even if it weren't for you, maybe he would have been able to defeat Felix as one of the thirteen people by himself, so it is only natural that he is one rank higher than you in the rankings." Kimberly explained.
"In other words, my first opponent is Lei Zhen and Ye Ye......" Liszt said speechlessly.
According to the battle rules of the Night Banquet, when the Night Banquet starts, the elimination and selection will start from the people at the bottom of the ranks.
That is, the 100th ranked person will fight the 99th ranked person, and then the victor will fight the 98th ranked person, and so on, until only the last person remains, which is when the Demon King is born.
Liszt didn't expect that he would be confronted with Akabane Leizhen so soon.
"So if you want to avoid being eliminated and get the knowledge you want about the production of forbidden dolls, hurry up and find a way to strengthen your dolls. Otherwise, with your current state alone, you may not be able to make Akabane Thunder really good. Kimberly reminded.
"That's why I'm looking for a teacher." Liszt laughed.
"What do you want to do?" Kimberly asked rhetorically, frowning.
"I want to learn from you about the techniques of making and improving Eve's heart." Liszt replied.
"Haven't you been chasing forbidden dolls, why did you suddenly think of learning from me how to make Eve's heart?" Kimberly was surprised.
"Two reasons. One is that I'm really curious about how Eve's heart, which can give wisdom to the puppet, is constructed. Whether it is the magic that regenerates people from the severed limbs I mentioned before, or the magic of body restoration, it is inseparable from the special mechanism contained in Eve's heart to transform magic, so I think that if you want to create a forbidden doll, you may still be inseparable from the understanding and use of Eve's heart, which is why I want to learn it. Liszt thought for a moment and gave his own answer.
"Okay. But your foundation is too poor after all, so you can come to me after every class in the future, and I will prepare a book list for you to study and answer the questions that arise from it, and when your foundation is qualified, you can learn from me about the process of making and improving Eve's heart. Kimberly thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"Then thank you, teacher." Liszt laughed.
"Another ......"
"What?"
"Teacher, lend me some more money. After all, I'm about to go to Val Bruggis' Twilight, and I can't get a good result if I don't have enough money to buy materials. Liszt scratched his head with an embarrassed look.
"I really owe you all my life." Kimberly rolled her eyes angrily and said.
However, he did not refuse Liszt's request, but still wrote him a check and permission to go out as he did last time, and asked him to go to the royal bank in the city to get money and buy materials by the way.
As for the question of whether Liszt can repay it in the future......
Is it really that easy for her to get her money?
If you can't come back yet, be prepared to sell yourself into slavery.
