"These scales indicate that this dragon has evolved, or grown, many times here."
The white-haired principal squatted down and picked up a broken black scale from the ground. He looked at the scale, which was not stained with any blood. There seemed to be fire burning in his eyes. This old man had gone through many years of hardships and his personality had become calm.
, I couldn't help but get angry at this moment.
"These scales are enough to prove it, but this dragon didn't bother to clean up these traces without anyone noticing. He was simply arrogant. The garbage that fell off his body was deliberately left to us.
"
"Okay, Principal, then we know that a dragon has sneaked into the college, and it has also devoured a lot of precious property of the college, leaving behind shed body tissues. Then, what should we do next to hunt down this dragon?
A dragon?"
Professor Sanchez, who followed, looked at the traces left by the black dragon in the underground square that was usually inaccessible, and measured his size.
"Of course we have to kill this damn dragon for wasting such treasures that cannot be replicated at all."
George felt a dull pain in his chest. All the treasures in this underground square had been collected and saved before Kassel College was established, but now they are all gone.
"Where can we find him? He may have left the academy. With the size of this dragon, he can go anywhere. Under the sky, under the ocean, there are not many places in this world that he cannot set foot on.
.”
"Don't go to such trouble. With this dragon's arrogant character, he is definitely still in the academy and watching us get restless because of him. This is a dragon full of bad taste." The principal said in a very affirmative tone.
"You're so sure." Another professor, Stuckart, who had witnessed the dragon himself, had a strange expression on his face.
"Of course I'm sure. It can be seen from the unabashed behavior of this dragon. This dragon may be hiding in the academy in human form now, waiting for us to discover him."
"You mean this dragon is still in school. How dare he make a joke?"
"Why doesn't he dare not tell us whether we can find him? Even if we can find him, according to your statement, such a huge dragon body can turn into wind at any time, and there is nothing we can do about it."
"Then what should we do now? Search the school and find this dragon?"
"It is necessary to find this dragon. Although this dragon is full, no one can guarantee what this dragon will do. If he has other ideas, we will bear something we never wanted to bear before.
as a result of."
"Classmate Owen, may I ask what you were doing from last night to noon today?"
A man wearing a black slim-fitting windbreaker stood at the door of Owen's dormitory and asked Muria with a serious face.
"Of course what else to do at night is sleep. You don't know how tired I was from my last mission." The blond boy said lazily and sleepily.
"Have you been sleeping all this time?"
"I've been reading for a while." Muria turned sideways, letting the teacher who came to inquire see the flat books spread out on the desk behind him.
"You spent this time alone in your dormitory, right? No one can prove that you were just reading and then sleeping during this time."
"Teacher, what happened? Why are you interrogating prisoners like this? I'm a good student."
Muria asked the teacher, like a student who didn't know anything.
"Please answer my question, is there anyone who can testify for you?"
"No." Muria spread her hands, "I don't have any special hobbies. How could there be other people in my room at night?"
"Well, Owen, I think working hard for the reproduction of mankind is not a special hobby. It is a very normal behavior."
As soon as Muria landed, a head with a tired face stuck out from next door to him, and then looked at Muria with a teasing smile. Then in his room, a neatly dressed woman walked away.
He came out and said hello to Muria, "Good morning, Owen"
"So, teacher and the two of them are not suspected of anything?" Muria turned her head expressionlessly and stared at the teacher. There is no doubt that there were many wild mandarin ducks matching each other at the banquet last night.
"Yes, the two of them basically don't have much suspicion, but you are very suspicious because you are alone during this period of time and no one can testify for you."
"So teacher, what happened at school?" the roommate next door who had worked hard all night for the continuation of mankind asked curiously.
"This is still confidential. No comment. Just stay there."
"Then do I still have to be investigated? I'm thinking that there should be quite a few people who are as old as me and stay alone at night. Will all of them be listed as major suspects by the school?"
Muria asked with some curiosity. He also wanted to see the ability of humans in this world to deal with emergencies.
"Yes, the school will investigate those of you who have major suspicions one by one. If you don't do anything, just read and sleep as you said, you don't need to worry about anything bad happening.
On your body."
"That's it, then I have nothing to do." The young man yawned lazily, and then closed the door of his room.
The conference table made of oak was filled with senior members of Kassel College and some professors with extremely high authority. An old man wearing a black trench coat, still tall and tall, stood up and reported on the emergency that had just occurred.
.
"All teachers and students in the school have been investigated. Based on our estimation of the time when the dragon was rampaging or eating in the college collection room.
There are 412 teachers and students who are alone and have no alibi, 17 of them are serious suspects, but I personally think that one student is the biggest suspect, and the possibility of him being a dragon is as high as 90%."
"Which one?" Principal George, who was sitting at the head of the conference table, asked solemnly.
"Owen, a super bloodline, just returned from a dragon-slaying mission three days ago. This is his first dragon-slaying mission, and the target is a newly born ancient dragon species."
"Reason for doubting him"
"On the first day he came back, he met Caesar, the student union president, but his behavior was completely different from before, as if he was a different person."
The professor in charge of the investigation clicked lightly in front of the conference table, and then the scene of Muria's first day sneaking into Kassel College and her encounter with the student union president Caesar was projected above the conference table.
"There is indeed something wrong. This cannot be used as evidence to doubt a student. You must know that he has just returned from participating in the dragon-slaying mission. At this time, it is normal for his personality to undergo some changes."
A professor looked at the blond boy whose behavior was obviously different from other students and expressed different opinions.
"Another thing is that Owen took the initiative to provoke Caesar at the banquet. This is not something a normal student would do."
"This is not enough." Some people still objected, "Caesar is the target that most students want to pursue. It is not surprising that the young man who has just returned from slaying the dragon has arrogance in his heart and wants to provoke him."
The professor in charge of the investigation did not change anything. He continued to tell the results of his investigation,
"Therefore, I investigated the classmates who performed the mission with him and Professor Hafez, and found that there was nothing wrong with the dragon slaying process they described.
But there is a very fatal problem, that is, after they slayed the dragon, they did not recover the dragon's body. The so-called completion of the task of slaying the dragon was just what they claimed, and there was no physical evidence to prove that they had completed the task."
As soon as he finished speaking, many professors in the conference room looked at each other, and many of them knitted their eyebrows together.
"So, professor, if you want to say something, just tell your conclusion directly. There is no need to hide it from us." The principal's face was very calm.
"My next inference is that the dragon-slaying mission led by Professor Hafez has failed, and the memories of those who are still alive who participated in the mission have been tampered with.
As for Owen, he is probably the only one whose memory has not been tampered with, because he has most likely died in the battle. The target of their mission, that is, the dragon, replaced Owen, pretended to be him, and sneaked into the campus
middle.
Then, you should all know what happened next."
"Okay, professor, please sit down." The principal motioned to the professor in charge of the investigation to sit down. Then he looked around at everyone, "Now tell me what you think."
"All this is just Professor Andras's inference and is not supported by evidence."
"What kind of evidence is needed in this situation now? Suspicion is enough."
"Okay, then I will temporarily think that Professor Andras's inference is correct, so how should we deal with it?
This dragon found the treasure room of the college by unknown means, and then entered the research room with the highest confidentiality level. Witnessed by two professors and a student, it escaped in an unknown way. How should we use it?
Deal with him"
"If we don't have the means to deal with him, we might as well let him live on campus pretending to be Irving, otherwise we scare him away. Then next time he might disguise himself as Caesar or even pretend to be the dean and continue to wander around the campus.
Among them, it will cause greater damage to the college."
"Although I hate it when you use me as an example, what you said does make sense." George stood up, put his hands on the table, and looked at everyone with a very oppressive posture.
"But, who says we have no way to deal with him? We can even kill the Dragon King, let alone a small dragon."
