This is the second day after Haina made headlines, and it happens to be the weekend.
Haina went to Wangli Law University after a long absence.
Although it is a day off, there are not many people in the school. After all, the final exam is still one month away, so you should prepare even if you are just cramming.
Haina was not nervous at all.
She even put on her own armor and a special dagger for supervision, and stood downstairs in the girls' dormitory, smiling as she watched the junior students coming and going.
"Hello, senior!"
"Haina-senpai."
"Good morning, Senior Sister Haina."
"The Silver Crowned Dragon... I wish you well, Miss Haina."
The junior students coming and going, and even the students in the same grade as Haina, came over and greeted her politely when they saw her. Haina looked very leisurely, a busy student
They showed envious eyes.
They are still working hard to prepare for their final exams, but Haina has graduated early!
But they would never have imagined that Haina did it on purpose.
It wasn't that she had anything to do when she came back.
She simply wanted to see her junior students busy taking exams while she could take a leisurely walk in the school.
So cool. Ah, so cool.
It’s as if the fatigue and stress accumulated when staying up late to prepare for early graduation exams have been purified...
Wangli Law University is not a purely extraordinary school.
It has one hundred and forty teaching buildings and six departments. Only two of them will teach students how to become extraordinary beings, and the other two will give priority to teaching the mysterious skills of other paths.
It was a school that only started running twenty years ago. Under the Queen's permission, the "forbidden arts" were learned for the prosperity and development of the kingdom - such as alchemy, art and preservation.
The remaining two departments are used to produce high-quality civil servants for Avalon. The largest number of them are ordinary people.
The criss-crossing teaching buildings can almost be called a small town. It is divided into six large areas by the criss-crossing streets, and there are various vendors and residents in each area. You don't even have to leave the territory of the "university"
, you can buy most of the things you want.
The layout of Wangli Law University occupies a considerable part of the Red Queen District. Therefore, the Red Queen District is also called the "University District".
The housing prices here are very high. So high that Haina can’t even imagine it.
The reason why the core areas of the two glass islands of the Red and White Queen are noble is because they can directly see the "Lake in the Island" - from the top floor of the teaching building, you can even see with the naked eye the sparkling lake in the sun.
The House of Silver and Tin.
Here, you can meet the Lord Knight almost every day when you go out.
The college where Haina is located belongs to the [Individual Tactics] Department. Although they are extraordinary people, they still have to learn cultural knowledge.
——This is a policy proposed by Her Majesty the Queen to improve the quality of extraordinary talents.
Let the extraordinary ones become talents with extraordinary power to govern the country, rather than the source of chaos - there is no need to worry about how much profit should be given to the extraordinary people to appease them, because they are the pillars of the kingdom.
Because of this, the academic pressure at Wangli Law University is very high.
Iris, Star Antimony, Elvish, Advanced Mathematics, Basic Theology, Modern History, and Documentary Writing are general courses that all departments must master.
Specific to Haina, she also has seven professional courses: "Law", "Law Tactics", "Swordsmanship", "Aerial Riding", "Battlefield Command", "Road Identification", and "Equipment Maintenance and Field Treatment"
.
In addition, she will take four more elective courses.
She chose four courses: "Applied Jade Gemology", "Anesthesiology", "Wine Brewing Production Management" and "Prevention and Control of Common Animal Diseases".
It seems like she has learned a lot of things... but her motivations are actually very clear and traceable.
——Haina made full use of the powerful teaching resources of Wangli University of Law and the large number of professional books in the library to study and compare in advance, considering that she might be seriously injured or even disabled and unemployed in the future.
Four courses to support yourself.
But at the same time, she didn’t know what would make money in the future. So she learned four unrelated fields one after another.
Once you have the foundation, it is much easier to make up for it.
At this moment, Haina suddenly shuddered.
She instinctively sensed that someone appeared quietly behind her.
An extremely strong sense of fear clenched her heart, and her eyes suddenly opened wide. As if looking at the strong wind blowing against her countermeasures, she breathed in hard, but couldn't get any oxygen.
With her nerves tense, she subconsciously held the dagger in the sheath——
"——Morning, Haina."
A loud and energetic female voice sounded: "Hey, don't be afraid. [Put it back]."
With a cry, she slightly pulled out a small portion of the dagger and let it go, sliding back on its own. It was as if her weapon refused to be drawn out in front of this person.
When she heard her voice, Haina breathed a sigh of relief and slowly let go of her hand.
"President Meg..."
How could such a big shot suddenly appear without any movement? It really shocked me...
She complained softly in her heart, turned around, put her right hand on her chest, bowed her head, and saluted her respectfully: "Good morning, Principal Meg."
In front of Haina's eyes was a middle-aged and elderly woman with silver hair, high cheekbones, and clear wrinkles on her face.
Judging from her skin and appearance alone, she looks to be at least forty or fifty years old, maybe even sixty years old. But her bright eyes, strong body, and loud voice make her look young again.
At least twenty years old.
The most obvious feature of Senior Meg is her strong and bulging shoulders. Those are strong muscles that are difficult for young men who focus on fitness to possess. They can hold up the obvious bulge in loose clothes.
"Ah ha ha ha ha ha!"
Meg laughed heartily.
Her laughter was hearty and loud, and her voice could be clearly heard even from dozens of meters away: "I knew it - I was shocked, right?
"But you did a good job, Haina! A few months ago, you wouldn't even notice my presence when I put my shoulder on my shoulder. Now I just get close to your back, and you can feel it - this shows how much experience has gained."
Months, there is indeed progress!”
This incident can be regarded as a shame for Haina.
A few months ago, she applied to graduate early - because her grades were exceptionally good, she was once full of confidence. Graduating early also alarmed Meg, the dean of students, who came to witness Haina's graduation assessment in person.
At that time, just like now, she appeared quietly behind Haina. But Haina was unaware of it.
Even when her bow tie was slowly taken off by Principal Meg, she didn't feel it the whole time.
It's not that Meg went into stealth, but that she made Haina's brain "dare not aware of her existence."
It is the authoritative power of forcibly modifying cognition, just like calling a deer a horse.
But now, at least Haina can sense the danger——
Although Meg is certainly not serious as a student, it also shows that she has indeed grown.
After Principal Meg appeared, the number of students around them decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Originally, there were quite a lot of people around Haina, but now there is a huge open space around her.
This is more than just respect for school leaders.
This is especially because the "authoritarian" aura exuding from Principal Meg is strong and obvious. They who are on the same path and at a lower level dare not approach him at all.
This old man who looks very energetic is one of the strongest people in the world today.
——The Grand Arbiter, Meg. Deputy Director of the Arbitration Hall.
He has the supreme privilege of being able to execute direct bloodline members of the royal family.
The reason why he is the "deputy" director... is because in Avalon, the deputy position is stronger than the principal position in a sense - because the principal position has the longest tenure, but the deputy position does not.
Meg has been the deputy director of the Arbitration Hall since twenty years ago. The three-year directors have been replaced seven times, and each time they are her students.
Even when the throne is inherited, Meg needs to be present to witness it.
After the new king succeeds to the throne, she will swear allegiance to the new king in the third one - the first one is the Minister of Military Affairs who controls the army and foreign spy agencies, the second one is the Knight Commander of the Round Table Hall who also serves as the Minister of Privy Council.
That's her.
The rest of the royal family will be ranked after sixth.
Just standing next to old Meg makes Haina feel heart palpitations.
It was as if the person standing in front of him was not a kind and generous old lady, but an adult lion very close at hand.
——If you turn around and run away, you may fall because your legs will become stiff due to fear.
She once intervened in a war with only her own personal power.
It was a short war, the "Ten Days War", between the Kingdom of Avalon and the Kingdom of Iris due to border friction twenty years ago.
When Meg arrived on the battlefield, she told the soldiers on both sides to sheath their swords and point their guns at the ground with just one sentence.
She carved a "peace boundary" in the border area - as long as she considered herself a "soldier", she could not cross the boundary. When she got close to the boundary, she would feel great fear and be so shocked that she could not move at all.
That boundary existed for four years before gradually fading. Now that relations between the two countries have improved, it has become a well-known attraction to commemorate the short war that only lasted ten days.
Of course Haina is not her old man's student because she is not qualified yet.
Shylock was once invited to become her disciple - but he refused.
And the old lady didn't force it. But from then on, she stopped recruiting new students.
It is said that she has recently begun to prepare to retire from the position of deputy director of the Arbitration Office. This is a well-known secret at Wangli Law University - because the new deputy director will be their young principal.
And this principal was also a student of Principal Meg.
"It was in the newspapers, wasn't it?"
Old Meg looked at her, raised her eyes, and asked with unclear meaning.
Haina was extremely nervous, lowering her head and not daring to raise it: "Yes, I'm very lucky...I didn't actually do anything, mainly Mr. Aiwass..."
"——Oh, 'Sir'."
The old lady smiled and repeated: "You respect him very much."
Haina was startled and held her breath. She didn't know how to answer.
"Don't be ashamed, you did the right thing. I heard Yannis talk about him."
Meg's voice was sonorous and powerful, like tightly clenched steel: "'The stronger is more correct.' Whether you are his senior or senior, if you are not as good as him in this matter, then you must obey him."
command—this is in line with the philosophy of the authoritarian path.”
Hearing this, she relaxed.
Haina was encouraged to be recognized and encouraged by her highly respected teacher. It was as if the world in front of her had brightened up and her body seemed to have become much lighter.
This even gave her the courage to ask: "Excuse me, Principal Meg... are you here to see me?"
"yes."
Meg smiled frankly and said: "Isn't it obvious?
"You are a good boy, hardworking and serious. But you are still a bit stupid."
Meg commented on Haina, who graduated a year early and still maintained perfect scores in all subjects, as "a bit stupid".
This made Haina a little frustrated.
She knew she was far behind Sherlock...but she didn't know how talented Sherlock was vertically.
Haina didn't know what kind of talents the seniors from Shylock's level on up were. Because they had all become mid-level and high-level officials, their past identity information had been kept confidential.
But looking at her appearance, the corner of Meg's mouth slightly raised, giving a rare affirmation: "But, we kings who walk in the path of authoritarianism don't have to be smart.
"Let me ask you - you know the Pelican is closing, right."
"……Yes."
It's normal if it's turned off.
Haina said in her heart.
It was, after all, the meeting place of the Noble Red Order, a group of illegal supernatural beings - 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?"
When Principal Meg saw Haina who was suddenly startled, she raised her eyebrows and added: "[Tell the truth]."
"——Not often," Haina blurted out, "but they did go there."
She realized almost immediately that she had leaked the secret.
But in front of those on the authoritarian path, she has no secrets.
"Have you been invited?"
"They invited me once, but I declined. They didn't invite me after that."
"oh."
Meg said with deep meaning: "No wonder you don't know."
Do not know what is this?
"Do you know what they went to the Pelican Bar to buy?"
"buy what……?"
Haina was a little confused.
"They are going to buy cosmetics."
Meg gave the answer directly: "The powerful cosmetics made by the alchemists of the Kingdom of Star Antimony can make the skin of people in their thirties and forties look as supple and supple as teenagers - although let me tell you, they
She is far from the age to use this kind of thing. But it is normal for girls to be interested in this kind of thing.
"Star Antimony's Beauty Potion is also selling very well. Although the side effects of the Beauty Potion can cause physical weakness and significant muscle loss - I have repeatedly warned that some of my students will still use it."
……ah.
Haina was stunned.
——She said, something is wrong!
She had thought before that the skin of the ladies in the capital was so tender and fair that they could squeeze out water. They all belonged to the "Individual Tactics School" and had practiced swordsmanship and riding skills, but there were no calluses on their hands.
The skin of the thighs has not been worn at all. The waist is slender and soft, with no trace of muscle at all.
Before, Haina thought it was because of their talents, and she also felt inferior for a while - she felt that she was too earthy, her body looked like someone doing farm work, and it was too easy to gain muscle.
Now she finally knows.
It turns out they took medicine!
"——Do you have anything to say?"
At this moment, Principal Meg looked over with a deep look, interrupting Haina's thinking.
Her mind suddenly went blank.
I...what did I just want to say?
But the next moment, she vaguely caught something.
"The alchemy products of the Star Antimony Kingdom should be illegal, right?"
She murmured: "That's contraband...I understand, that's why they didn't invite me again and again. Because they knew I had no money."
"...No, isn't the Pelican Bar the gathering place of the Noble Red Society? Why can the Pelican Bar sell smuggled alchemy products?"
She was suddenly excited and reacted: "Is the Noble Red Society related to the smuggling case?
"No, that's not right - are they related to Star Antimony officials?"
"Not too stupid."
Old Meg nodded with satisfaction.
Finally, she got down to business: "Our spies in Xing Antimony sent back important information——"
"Wait, wait, am I qualified to know this..."
Haina keenly sensed the strong sense of crisis and hesitantly muttered to herself in a voice that only she could hear clearly.
Meg completely ignored Haina, who suddenly became timid again, and said to herself: "A batch of powerful, small-sized portable alchemy bombs were 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 have never found traces of the inflow of these bombs before. But starting from the day before yesterday, when we investigated the Pelican Bar... the Inspectorate found that these bombs
It's delivered through the Pelican Bar.
"The contribution you have made is much greater than you imagined."
Meg's eyes were as sharp as a hawk.
She laughed boldly and patted Haina on the shoulder: "So, I'll give you a chance.
"Both the Supervisory Office and the Arbitration Hall are investigating this matter. Originally, your Supervisory Bureau had no access to this kind of thing. But whether it is you, Sherlock or that Aiwass, they all interest me very much.
"I'll give you temporary authorization to go and investigate - if your director has anything to say, just ask him to come to me. Bring any consultants you want to invite, and give him whatever you want, and I'll reimburse you; if you can't find out,
It's okay, I'll take care of it.
"I want to see if I was wrong a few months ago. If you investigate and find important information before we solve the matter..."
Meg said meaningfully: "I still have a position as a closed disciple... that I can leave to you."
