The communication with Rufas is destined not to be too long.
Firstly, Rean has a grudge against Rufus, and secondly, Rufus has to receive the inspection team today and he doesn’t have time.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, we immediately got to the point.
Like last time, the exercise is divided into two themes.
One is the old rule, local support is just doing odd jobs.
The other is the highlight, an important investigation project that must be completed.
This time it's not a monster, but a higher level fantasy beast.
The so-called phantom beasts, in layman's terms, are huge monsters that far exceed the average size and possess incredible power. Powerful phantom beasts can't even compare to mecha soldiers and main tanks, and are extremely difficult to deal with.
Fortunately, monsters of this level rarely appear in areas where humans live, unless something special happens.
A year and a half ago, phantom beasts appeared in the Empire and Crossbell, and the old Class VII with Rean as the core even killed a few of them with their own hands - of course with all the troops, at least a six-man team, or even two six-man teams.
They were forcibly surrounded and killed together.
In view of the threat of the phantom beast itself and the meaning behind it, there must be a team that is strong enough and highly mobile enough to guard and investigate, and the second branch is the most suitable candidate.
Rean will lead the new Class VII to investigate places where phantom beasts once appeared. Except for the place where the first incident occurred - the phantom beasts there have been killed by a certain "wanted criminal" in the empire and the wanted criminal's companions.
of.
The most famous wanted criminal in Crossbell at present can only be the former investigator, the core of the support department, and the "bandit leader" Lloyd Bannings.
Considering that after defeating the phantom beast, there is still room for escape under the eyes of the imperial government, it is estimated that Rean's second senior brother "Wind Sword Master" Arios Marklein and Lisha Mao also took action.
I just don’t know if Levi, Caster and Libel’s team have secretly helped - although it doesn’t mean much whether they help or not. The difficulty of the fantasy beast is to deal with the extraordinary. Once you step into the extraordinary, everyone has a single kill.
The strength of fantasy beasts.
Letting wanted criminals help the government will obviously damage the government's reputation. There are also considerations in assigning it to the second branch - students can solve it if they see it or not, it's not a big deal.
After receiving the task, the meeting came to an end.
Rean hesitated for a moment, and then talked a little bit about Jussis - although he didn't like Rufus, the relationship between the Elbarea brothers was indeed very good.
Rufus reciprocated the favor and provided the latest information from the Intelligence Bureau - "The Blue Abyss" is likely to be in Crossbell, although Rean already knew it.
When we left the Orchid Tower, the atmosphere was much better than before the meeting, and we talked about topics that made each of us feel proud.
Rean's partner, old Class VII.
Yuna's idol, former Crossbell Special Agent Support Section.
Since Rean said he had a fight with a wanted criminal when he first entered the school, and Yuna didn't hide it, the new Class VII is no stranger to either.
I know the great achievements of the Special Agent Support Section, and I also know that each of the old VII classes is more capable than the last.
Especially the latter, Yuna complained more than once: Why do you all have such a big background?
The first Miriam I met was the "Iron-Blooded Son".
The three people we met last time were the heir to Alside and the future female countess; the son of a famous general in the Imperial Army; and the little princess of the "West Wind Brigade".
Now, the younger brother of Governor Crossbell has appeared, the acting head of the Duke of Elbarea's family, one of the four most famous families. It would be too much of a coincidence to call it a coincidence.
Li En also thought it was a coincidence, and even suspected that it was arranged deliberately.
But when I think about it, there is an element of arrangement, but it is not the product of complete arrangement, but the center of the intersection of fate caused by multiple perspectives.
The people standing behind Class VII can't just arrange whatever they want. Even the emperor and prime minister may not have all the control.
According to Rean's analysis, it should be like this: Oribat has been looking for a way to find a third path. He has been planning since Tova's class, and created the predecessor of Class VII, a special team of four seniors.
.
With the successful experience, it was officially put into practice. The chairman, three directors and other relevant people each sent in students of appropriate age for observation. (Rean and Laura were considered iron-blooded and neutrals headed by Ogua were sent in.
)
These are the elements of the arrangement, and the remaining few people are following the trend or just meeting the standards.
For example, Fei, she taught in Class VII because of Sarah, so everything went smoothly.
Elliot, Emma and Gaius are just up to standard.
Although Eliot's background is not weak, it is not as good as Jussis's. He is not the only one like Thorsli. His ability to come in is mainly due to the adaptability of the magic wand.
The same goes for Emma. The witch has been hiding in the dark for a long time and is not known to the outside world. She is in Class VII because of the magic wand experiment, plus her excellent grades and her status as a border resident - she cannot be the child of a big shot.<
/p>
Gaius is also a border resident, but because of his deep connection with the royal family, he is not suitable to be assigned to a class with only nobles or commoners.
It was definitely a coincidence that most of these three people entered Class VII, but I didn't expect that the border residents were not simple either.
Of course, there is no need to tell the students these secrets.
What happened next also confirmed Yuna’s complaints.
As soon as he returned to the lobby on the first floor of the Orchid Tower, Li En walked towards a young man with a smile on his face.
"Machias!"
Her short green hair is neatly cut, and her special double-breasted uniform matches the hard lines of her face, creating a serious and dull atmosphere.
Fortunately, when he saw Li En, the man also smiled and pushed up the half-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose to relax the atmosphere.
"Haha, we meet so soon, Rean."
"I just arrived this morning, where are you?"
"I arrived yesterday, but the supervision work starts today just like you. Next, I have to go with the seniors in the bureau to 'greet' the Governor."
Not every unit has a special train or a special airship like Thorz. Normally, when traveling on business, you arrive one day in advance and start work officially the next day.
"Well, we just finished greeting him, so you should work hard."
"I'm ready to wake up."
Looking at Machias' age and Rean's expression, Kurt and Yuna had already guessed that this was also a member of the old Class VII.
Altina also revealed Machias's identity.
Machias Regnitz, a member of the old Class VII and the son of the current head of the Imperial City, currently works in the Empire's "Judicial Inspection Service" and is responsible for monitoring all administrative agencies of the Empire for improper behavior. To put it bluntly, he is specifically looking for trouble for his colleagues.
, was one of the least popular of all the departments of the empire.
In the current turbulent environment, Machias is definitely asking for trouble and trouble.
With Machias's background and his second-highest grade in the entire school year, what good department in the military and political circles can't he get into? There is no need to look for such a thankless place.
The reason why he did this was entirely due to his own choice. After experiencing the civil war a year and a half ago and the death of their companions, the classmates of the old Class VII all had a consciousness and were changing the empire in their own way.
Change the world.
Rean's path as an instructor, Fei's path as a guerrilla, Elliot's tour, and Laura's path as an acting master are all the same.
Among them, Machias was the most radical, using power to contain power, regulating the empire with the rule of law, breaking down numerous barriers, and striving for a better future for the empire.
Although Rean always told Yuna that he and his companions were not as good as the Special Agent Support Section, this was just self-effacement and appeasement.
I and my companions will not be worse than anyone else - today Rean has this confidence!
PS: It’s a pity that Ma Daddy has such a good character. He wears glasses and is polite and polite. He meets the standards of a pharaoh controlling villains or hiding big bosses. At that time, I guessed that Ma Daddy was the most popular one, but he ended up being a mess all the way to the end. It’s really
It's not an ordinary pity. And the Broken Ring and Golden Butterfly that were leaked previously were only known by their names, but never seen.
