It was the second day of Haina's headlines, which happened to be Sunday.

Haina went to the Royal Law University after a long absence.

Although it was Sunday, there were not many people at the school. After all, there is still a month to go before the final exam, and even if it is a temporary cramming, it is time to prepare.

Haina wasn't nervous at all.

She even put on her own armor and equipped with a short sword for supervision, and stood downstairs in the girls' dormitory, smiling and watching the students come and go.

"Hello senior sister!"

"Chaina-senpai."

"Good morning, Sister Hayna."

"The silver-crowned dragon is above...... I wish you good health, Miss Hayna. ”

The younger students who came and went, and even the students of the same level as Haina, came over to greet her politely when they saw her. Looking at Haina, who was very leisurely, the busy students showed envious eyes.

They are still trying to prepare for their final exams, but Haina has already graduated early!

But they would never have imagined that Haina did it on purpose.

She didn't come back with anything to do.

She just wants to watch her younger students take a leisurely walk around the school while her younger students are busy with exams.

It's so cool. Ah, that's cool.

It was as if the fatigue and stress accumulated when I stayed up late to prepare for the early graduation exam had been purified......

The University of Law is not a purely transcendent school.

It has one hundred and forty academic buildings and six faculties. Only two of these faculties will teach students how to become transcendental, and two will teach the mystical skills of other paths on a limited basis.

It was only twenty years ago that the school had been set across, and under the Queen's charter, it was forbidden to learn "forbidden arts" such as alchemy, art, and preservation for the kingdom to flourish.

The remaining two faculties are used to produce high-quality civil servants for Avalon. The largest number of people are ordinary people.

Crisscrossed by school buildings, it can almost be called a small town. The streets are crisscrossed into six large areas, each of which is home to a variety of vendors and residents. You don't even have to leave the territory of the "university" to buy most of the things you want.

The layout of the Royal Law University occupies a considerable part of the area of the Red Queen. The Red Queen is also known as the "University District".

Housing prices here are very high. It was so high that Haina couldn't even think of it.

The core area of the two glass islands, the Red and White Queen, is noble because you can directly see the "lake within the island" - from the top floor of the teaching building, you can even see the temple of silver and tin glittering in the sunlight with the naked eye.

Here, you can meet the knight almost every day when you go out.

The academy where Haina is located belongs to the [Individual Tactics] department. Although they are transcendent, they also have to learn cultural knowledge.

- This is the policy proposed by Her Majesty the Queen to improve the quality of extraordinary talents.

Let the Transcendents be rulers of extraordinary power, not a source of chaos - and no need to worry about how much to give to the Transcendents to appease them, for they are the pillars of the kingdom.

Because of this, the academic work at Wangli Law University is very stressful.

Iris, Antimony, Elvish, Advanced Mathematics, Basic Theology, Modern History, and Essay Writing are all general education subjects that all faculties must master.

Specific to Haina, she also has seven professional courses: "Law", "Law and Tactics", "Swordsmanship", "Aerial Cavalry", "Battlefield Command", "Road Identification", and "Equipment Maintenance and Field Treatment".

In addition to this, she has four more electives to take.

She chose four courses: "Applied Emerald Gemology", "Anesthesiology", "Winemaking Production Management" and "Prevention and Control of Common Animal Diseases".

It seems that the learning is very miscellaneous...... But in fact, her motives are clear and traceable.

——This is the four courses that Haina took advantage of the strong teaching resources of Wang Li Law University and the large number of professional books that she picked up casually in the library, and took into account that she might be seriously injured or even disabled in the future and lose her job.

But at the same time, she doesn't know what will make money in the future. So she learned four unrelated fields with a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west.

Once you have the foundation, it's much easier to make it up.

At that moment, Haina shuddered.

She instinctively sensed that someone had quietly appeared behind her.

A very strong sense of fear gripped her heart, and her eyes widened. As if looking at the wind blowing against him, he inhaled hard, but he couldn't breathe in a single bit of oxygen.

Under the tension of her nerves, she subconsciously pinched the short sword in her sheath-

"—Morning, Hayna."

A loud female voice full of energy sounded: "Hey, don't be afraid. [Put it back]. ”

She only heard a choking sound, and she pulled out a small piece of short sword slightly, and directly took it out of her hand and slid back on its own. It's like her weapon refuses to be drawn in front of this person.

When she heard her voice, Haina breathed a sigh of relief and slowly let go of her hand.

"Senior Meg ......"

How could this kind of big man suddenly appear without any movement. It really scared the hell out of me......

She whispered in her heart, turned her head to her chest with her right hand, bowed her head, and saluted her respectfully: "Good morning, Senior Meg." ”

In front of Haina's eyes was a middle-aged and elderly woman with white hair, high cheekbones, and clear wrinkles on her face.

Judging by her skin and appearance alone, she looked at least forty or fifty years old, and maybe even in her sixties. But her piercing eyes, her muscular body, and her loud voice made her look at least twenty years younger.

The most obvious feature of Professor Meg is his high, bulging shoulders. It was a muscle-building muscle, which could hold up a noticeable bulge in loose-fitting clothing, even for a young man who was focused on fitness.

"Aha!"

Meg laughed heartily.

Her laughter was hearty and loud, and her voice could be heard clearly even from tens of meters away: "I knew - startled, right?"

"But well done, Hayna! A few months ago, you didn't even notice my presence when I took you on your shoulder. Now that I'm just behind you, you can feel it - it shows that the months of training have indeed made progress! ”

This incident can be considered a shame for Hayna.

A few months ago, she applied for early graduation – and because of her excellent grades, she was full of confidence. The early graduation also alarmed Minister Meg, who personally came to witness Hayna's graduation assessment.

At that time, she was silently behind Hayna, just like now. But Haina was unaware.

Even her bow tie was slowly untied by Senior Minister Meg, and she didn't feel it the whole time.

It wasn't Meg who got into stealth, it was she who made Hayna's brain "afraid to be aware of her presence".

It is like referring to a deer as a horse, and the authoritarian power of coercing and modifying cognition.

And now, at least Haina can sense the danger—

Although Minister Meg is certainly not serious, it can also show that she has indeed grown.

After the appearance of the Minister Meg, the surrounding students decreased at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Originally, there were quite a lot of people around Hayna, but now a huge open space has been directly ceded around.

It's not just a sense of awe for school leaders.

It is even more because of the strong and obvious aura of "authoritarian" Taoism exuded by Minister Meg. They were at the bottom of the same path and did not dare to approach at all.

This old man, who seems to be very energetic, is one of the strongest people in this world today.

- The Grand Arbiter, Meg. Deputy Director of the Arbitration Chamber.

He has the supreme privilege of executing the direct blood of the royal family.

The reason for the "deputy" director...... That's because in Avalon, the deputy is in some ways stronger than the main one – because the main one has the longest tenure, but the deputy doesn't.

Since 20 years ago, Meg has been the deputy director of the Arbitration Hall. The director of the triennial session has changed seven times, and each one is her student.

Even in the succession to the throne, Meg needs to be present to witness.

When she succeeded to the throne, she would swear allegiance to the new king in the third - the first as the Minister of War and Administration, who controlled the military and foreign spy agencies, and the second as the Knight of the Round Table and also the Minister of the Privy Council. And the third one is her.

The rest of the royal family will be ranked after the sixth place.

Just standing with old Meg made Haina feel palpitations.

It's as if the person standing in front of him is not a kind and bold old lady, but an adult lion who is close at hand.

- If you turn around and run away, I am afraid that you will fall. Because the legs will become stiff because of fear.

She had intervened in a war on her own.

It was a short war between the Kingdom of Avalon and the Iris Kingdom twenty years ago because of border frictions, the "Ten Days War".

When Meg arrived on the battlefield, she used only one sentence to tell both soldiers to put their swords in their sheaths and aim their guns at the ground.

She carved a "peace line" in the border area – one that could not be crossed as long as she considered herself a "soldier". When you get close to the boundary, you feel a great deal of fear and are so frightened that you can't move.

That boundary existed for four years before it faded. Now, with the improvement of relations between the two countries, it has become a well-known attraction to commemorate the brief war that lasted only ten days.

Haina was certainly not a student of her old man. Because she's not qualified yet.

Sherlock had been invited to become her close disciple - but he refused.

And the old lady didn't force it. But since then, she has stopped recruiting new students.

She is said to have recently begun to prepare to step down from her position as deputy head of the Arbitration Hall. This is a well-known secret at the University of Law – because the new deputy director will be their young rector.

And this headmaster was also a student of Head Meg.

"It's in the newspaper, isn't it?"

Old Meg looked at her, raised her eyes, and asked meaninglessly.

Haina was extremely nervous, lowered her head and did not dare to raise it: "Yes, lucky...... I didn't actually do anything, mainly Mr. Evas......"

"—oh, 'sir.'"

The old lady smiled and repeated, "You respect him very much." ”

Haina was startled and held her breath. I don't know how to answer.

"Don't be ashamed, you're doing the right thing. I've heard Janis talk about him. ”

Meg's voice was as sonorous as clenched steel: "'The stronger is more right'." Whether you are his senior sister or senior, you are inferior to him in this matter. Then you obey his command – which is in line with the idea of the authoritarian path. ”

Hearing this, she relaxed.

Being recognized and encouraged by her highly respected teachers encouraged Haina. It was as if the whole world in front of me lit up, and my body seemed to be much lighter.

This even gave her the courage to take the initiative to ask, "Excuse me, Minister Meg...... Are you here for me? ”

"yes."

Meg smiled heartily, "Isn't that obvious?

"You are a good boy, hard working and serious. But it's still a bit stupid. ”

For Haina, who graduated a year early and still maintained a perfect score in all subjects, Meg gave a "bit stupid" evaluation.

This made Haina a little discouraged.

She knew she was a lot worse than Sherlock...... But she didn't know how talented Sherlock was longitudinally.

What kind of talents the seniors from Sherlock's level to the previous ones were—Hayna didn't know at all. Because all of them have become mid-level and high-level officials, their past identity information has been kept confidential.

But looking at her appearance, the corners of Meg's mouth rose slightly, and she gave a rare affirmation: "However, we kings who are walking on the path of authoritarianism don't have to be very smart."

"I ask you — you know the Pelican bar is closed, right?"

“…… Yes. ”

It's okay to turn it off.

Haina said in heart.

It was, after all, the meeting place of the Noble Red Society, a bunch of illegal transcendents - they couldn't get together to talk about iris literature and elven poetry, could they?

"Did you know that your roommates often go to the Pelican Bar?"

Seeing the startled Hayna, Minister Meg raised an eyebrow and added, "[To be honest]. ”

"—not very often," Hawena blurted out, "but they did." ”

She realized almost immediately that she had leaked it.

But in front of the superiors of the authoritarian path, she has no secrets to speak of.

"Have you ever been invited?"

"I was invited once, but I declined. They didn't invite me after that. ”

"Oh."

Meg said meaningfully, "No wonder you don't know. ”

I don't know...... What?

"Do you know what they're going to buy when they go to the Pelican Bar?"

"What ...... to buy?"

Haina was a little confused.

"They're there to buy cosmetics."

Meg said the answer directly: "Powerful cosmetics made by the alchemists of the Star Antimony Kingdom. Can make the skin of thirty or forty-year-olds look as supple as teenagers - though they are nowhere near old enough to use such stuff, if I have to say. But it's normal for girls to be interested in this thing.

"Star Antimony's anti-skin potion is also selling very well. Although the side effects of the anti-aging potion can cause weakness and visible muscle loss, I warn you that some of my students will still use it. ”

…… Yes.

Haina suddenly.

- And she said, "What's wrong!"

She had felt that the skin of those young ladies of the royal capital was tender and fair, as if they could pinch out the water. Obviously, he also belongs to the "Department of Individual Tactics", and he has not practiced swordsmanship and riding, but there are no calluses on his hands, and the skin on his thighs has not been worn at all. The waist is slender and soft, and there are no traces of muscles at all.

Before, Haina thought that they were talented, and she also felt inferiority for a while—she felt that she was too earthy, her body looked like she was doing farm work, and it was too easy to grow muscles.

Now she finally knows.

It turned out that they had taken medicine!

"—do you have anything to say?"

At that moment, Minister Meg looked at her deeply, interrupting Hayna's thoughts.

Her mind went blank.

I...... What was I trying to say?

But the next moment, she vaguely caught something.

"The alchemy products of the Star Antimony Kingdom should be illegal, right?"

She muttered, "That's contraband...... I understood, that's why they didn't invite me again and again. Because they know I don't have any money.

“…… No, isn't the Pelican Bar a gathering place for the Noble Red Society? Why can pelican bars sell smuggled alchemy products? ”

She suddenly reacted with a stir: "The Noble Red Association is related to the smuggling case?

"No, it's not right - they're related to the Star Antimony official?"

"It's not too stupid."

Old Meg nodded in satisfaction.

Finally, she got down to business: "Our spies over there at Star Antimony have sent back important information-"

"Wait, wait, am I qualified to know this......"

Haina keenly smelled a strong sense of crisis, and hesitated to herself in a voice that only she could hear.

Meg completely ignored Haina, who suddenly coaxed again, and said to herself: "There is a batch of portable alchemy bombs with high power and small volume, which have been transported to Avalon. The target should be the glass island.

"The power of this batch of bombs is enough to blow up the entire Red Queen District. We had been unable to find any signs of these bombs coming in. But since the day before yesterday, when investigating the Pelican Bar...... The Inspectorate's investigation found that the bombs had been delivered through the Pelican Bar.

"Your contribution is much greater than you imagined."

Meg's eyes were as sharp as a falcon.

She laughed heartily and patted Haina on the shoulder: "So, I'll give you a chance."

"This matter is being investigated by the Inspectorate and the Arbitration Hall. Originally, your inspectorate would not have been able to touch this kind of thing. But whether it's you, Sherlock, or that Ivace, I'm intrigued.

"I'll give you temporary authorization to check it out—if your chief has anything to say, let him come to me. Bring any advisor you want to invite, give him whatever you want, and I'll reimburse you; It's okay if you can't find out, I'll take care of it.

"I wanted to see if I looked away a few months ago. If you preemptively investigate important information before we settle the matter......"

Meg said meaningfully, "I still have a place for a closed disciple...... can be left to you. ”
