"yes, I've heard that werewolves and other dangerous creatures will be released into the grounds. "They are naturally resistant to magic, and spells that chant less than two verses of magic can't hurt them at all." Even if there are only a few of them, they are still too dangerous for us. ”

"Could it be ......" Allen was shocked when he said this, and a terrible thought appeared in his mind: "Does he not care about our life or death at all?"

What a malicious speculation...... It shouldn't have been in Alan's mind. But when all the doubts about the incident and the impression of the Winslow family piled up in his mind, Allen could only conclude that this was the case.

The event was cancelled because it was too dangerous, but it was reopened this year, new rules forced them to participate and force them to do their best, and most importantly, the rumored Arne Béresto was already lurking in the school at this time...... All of these clues suggest that what appears to be a talent selection event in the name of the Magical Management Association may in fact be a huge conspiracy—one against them.

"If that's the case, it only says a little bit...... There must have been a close connection between Burrestu and Mr. Winslow...... Even ......"

A bold speculation that had been there before reappeared: that the Winslow family was even responsible for the case fifteen years ago...... Whatever the purpose, they single-handedly planned the incident, and in order to cover it up, they fabricated the person Arne Bresto, made him a scapegoat, and then erased the people involved in the case one by one, or implanted some false memories...... This would also explain why Negris denied it at the time.

Especially now that Alan knows that the outfall of the Stone family at that time was the work of the Winslow family...... This is a family with almost no humanity, and will do whatever it takes as long as it is in the interests of their own family......

Thinking of this, Alan couldn't help but gasp, clenched his hands and began to tremble.

"What's wrong with you?" Alyssa asked, seeing that Alan's mood seemed to be a little abnormal.

"No, it's okay......" Since he didn't know how to explain for a while, Alan had to put it aside for a while. But even though he said it was okay, the trembling voice betrayed him.

"Are you nervous?" asked Alyssa.

"Hmm...... I don't know...... Probably......" Alan was a little incoherent. The conclusion he had just come to conflicted with some of his previous speculations, but he couldn't find anything wrong, so he was now flustered.

However, a warm heat suddenly came from the back of his hand, which instantly filled his heart with a sense of security, and his body immediately stopped trembling. He looked down and saw that it was Alyssa who was holding his hand.

"That's what my grandmother taught me......" Alyssa whispered, her head down, "she said, um...... In this situation, there is nothing more comforting than body temperature......"

Truly...... Like a warm stream throughout his body, and like a gust of wind blowing away the dark clouds in his heart, after taking a deep breath, Alan found that the fear in his heart had completely disappeared, replaced by an indescribable steadfastness and peace of mind.

This made him can't help but hold Alyssa's hand tightly.

"Thank you. Alan said, "Probably because I'm too careful...... I had an inexplicable idea just now, but now I've overturned it. ”

After calming down, Alan analyzed it a little and found out what was wrong.

If this game is really a trap specially prepared for them, then judging from Mankiqi's words just now, there is a good chance that he was the main person involved in the case back then, so how to explain the various strange events that have happened around them recently...... Mankiczy was already the vice president before he ascended to the current president's throne, and he was the backbone of the entire association before Negris disappeared, and he was already incapable of just handling official duties all day long, so it was impossible for him to find time to lurk around them every day in order to do such painless things......

And with Arne Burresto's ability, it seems that there is no need to find the Winslow family to join forces with them.

"This game should have nothing to do with Burresto......" Alan whispered at this point.

"Ah......" Alyssa finally understood why he was anxious just now when she heard this, "so you were worried about this ......"

"Hmm...... But it's fine now. Alan twitched his hand, and found that Alyssa didn't seem to have any intention of letting go of her hand at all, so she had to smile and say, "But the rules of this game ...... Well...... It's really harsh. ”

"Hmm......" Alyssa lowered her head again, "this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get ahead quickly...... You can just prepare for the first round, as for werewolves or whatever...... I'm not going to let them hurt you in the slightest. ”

"Uh...... You...... It's really reliable. Alan was a little speechless for a while, and it took him a long time to say this.

It's true that he feels at ease, but when she hears Alyssa say this, how does it feel like he is powerless in her eyes...... Well...... In fact, Eren still knows how to use a lot of magic, especially now that he has this wand of stealing.

"So that's all for today, I'll take the time to oversee you. With that, Mr. Winslow took the lead and walked off the platform.

Under the leadership of Professor Stubourne, there was another well-timed round of applause from the audience.

"Looks like I'm finally able to rest......" Alan said with a slight movement of his muscles. After standing here for more than two hours, he felt a little collapsed.

However, what made him a little concerned was that Mr. Winslow did not leave directly after stepping down from the high platform, but was slightly stunned in place, as if he had seen something that surprised him. This made him look at Mr. Winslow's back a little distracted.

"Six o'clock in the evening, old location, restaurant on time. Alyssa's voice tugged back his thoughts, and he realized that almost everyone had dispersed, and Alyssa had let go of her hand.

"Hmm...... Good. Alan nodded.

It's strange to say, I was a little embarrassed when I was held by her just now, as if I was afraid of being seen, but now...... I think I miss that feeling again? Hmm...... That kind of peace of mind, but also a little sweet......
