Chapter 36: Freedom Restored
Within two days, Liszt met the dusty Kimberly again.
"Alright, you can go out now." Kimberly said to Liszt and Ann Rieter, who had been called at the same time.
"Ann Li." As soon as the words fell, before Liszt could say anything, Charlotte, who was following Kimberly, rushed out and hugged Ann Liette in her arms, venting her worries and fears for the past two days with tears in her eyes.
"That's the end of it?" Liszt glanced at the Charlotte sisters, withdrew his gaze, and asked Kimberly.
"yes, it's over." Kimberly affirmed.
"Can you tell me what the situation is?" Liszt asked curiously.
"As we guessed at the beginning, this incident is entirely an operation by the Kingsford family to clear the stigma, but the specific executor is the son of the Granville family, Cedric, who wants to disrupt the public and stigmatize Charlotte by destroying the clock tower. Of course, these are all things that Cedric voluntarily confessed after he was caught, and how much of the authenticity is questionable! And most crucially, we didn't find the divine ingenuity you mentioned in the Granville or Kingsford houses, so there is reason to suspect that there should be other behind this matter. Kimberly didn't hide it, and told some of the information she had investigated.
"But it's a bit inappropriate to put you on the side of the garrison at this time. Coupled with the fact that Cedric was caught, even if the people behind the scenes wanted to do something, it would not be as easy as it was at the beginning, so after thinking about it for a while, I decided to let you regain your freedom. ”
"By the way, there should also be those who want to use us as bait to see if it is possible to lure out the mastermind behind the scenes." Liszt smiled, as if he were talking about something that was not at stake in his life, and spoke slowly.
"We're going to add more surveillances around, and we're definitely not going to let you get into the same situation as last time." Although Kimberly did not admit it directly, Liszt also confirmed his guess from this answer.
Yes, the Academy, or the Magic Association, wants to use him and Ann Rieette as bait to try to lure out the masterminds who are still hiding in the shadows.
"What is Cedric going to do?" Liszt didn't refute either, because even if he objected to this kind of thing, the Magic Association would not pay attention to his opinion, not to mention, the surveillance was carried out in secret, even if Kimberly agreed to his request on the surface, it was unlikely that he would find out the movements of the Magic Association's monitors when it was time to carry it out, so instead of making a big noise to destroy the harmonious relationship between him and Kimberly, it was better to be obedient and make Kimberly feel some guilt in his heart. In this way, it is possible to obtain more generous returns in the future.
"For the time being, he will be confined for the time being, and will be investigated by both the Academy and the Magic Association, until it is confirmed that there is no problem, and then he will be released." Kimberly replied.
"Not to disqualify him from the night party?" Liszt was surprised.
As a good friend and relative of Felix Kingsford, Cedric's strength is also not to be underestimated, he is one of the members of the Hundred Elite Group of the Royal Karakuri Academy, and he is also the best of them, one of the thirteen people with the code name of Thirteen, and the night club is ranked tenth.
If this incident can be used to eliminate a possible strong enemy in the future, it will be a good compensation for Liszt.
"After all, the existence of the divine ingenuity you said is doubtful, and there is no way to prove that he is related to the previous attack, so the academy has no way to punish him for assaulting students with the intention of hurting people." Kimberly explained.
"Then it's always true that he coerced Charlotte and forced Charlotte to destroy the clock tower." Liszt frowned.
"The problem is that Charlotte is the one who destroyed the Clock Tower, and there were no injuries in the destruction of the Clock Tower, so as long as the Granville family offers compensation to the Academy, the Academy has no reason to pursue Cedric's trouble over this matter."
"What about coercion?" Liszt asked.
"Although there is Charlotte's confession, Ann Liette, who is the target of coercion, is free, and if we examine it from this aspect, we also can't get any substantial evidence that Cedric coerced Charlotte, so ......" Although the latter words are not explained, Liszt's IQ can also understand what Kimberly wants to express.
What's more, the Granville family is not an ordinary person, like the Billau family from Kingsford and Charlotte, they are all famous and aristocratic families in Britain, and they are active and socially influential families, so in the case of various accusations, the academy or some people are not willing to offend each other for such a thing.
So not to mention the current situation where the evidence is obviously insufficient, even if the evidence is sufficient, the other party may not be able to get Cedric out of punishment through the exchange of benefits.
This kind of thing has not happened in history, so Liszt can understand it very well.
Even if I feel very unhappy.
……
"Liszt, thank you very much for this incident." After a while, Charlotte, who had finally finished venting her emotions, came to Liszt with Ann Liette and thanked Liszt with a slightly twisted expression.
She thought that the person who came to help her this time would be Lei Zhen, after all, Lei Zhen had already helped her once before, not to mention that the relationship between the two was there, but she didn't expect that it was Teacher Kimberly who pulled herself from the ordeal in the end, and in the conversation with the teacher, she knew that the reason for all this was Liszt's inconvenience.
This made Charlotte, who had a somewhat cold impression of Liszt because of Lei Zhen's relationship, feel a little unaccustomed.
"You're welcome. After all, this incident has something to do with me, and I will intervene in this incident, not entirely because of you. Liszt didn't take it all either, but responded honestly.
Charlotte was silent, standing in front of Liszt and not knowing what to continue to say.
After all, her relationship with Liszt has not reached that level.
"Alright, let's get out of here first." Seeing this, Liszt took the initiative to propose.
"Hmm."
The three then left the garrison together after Kimberly, and then separated and walked back to the men's and girls' dormitories and the teacher's office.
"It seems that if you want to avoid being threatened by divine ingenuity in the future, it's time to manifest the inspiration in your mind......"
Unfortunately, I don't know enough about Eve's heart.
Although it is extremely easy to shape with alchemy, it is just a magic circuit operated by hot air, and if you want to create an automatic puppet in your mind that can fight against divine ingenuity, it takes several magic circuits, and these happen to be the techniques that Liszt has not yet mastered, so if you want not to be passive under the blow of divine ingenuity, you can only think about more combat methods.
