Saint Laurent Prison Warden

Chapter 126 Supplementary Lessons
When Richard returned to Niu Xiaoxiao's home from Dean Hank, Xingge had finished questioning the two and left.

Richard patted Niu Xiaoxiao and Diana on the head and asked, "What questions did the Lord of Xingge ask you?"

"The City Lord Xingge asked some questions about the cleaning lady, and I answered truthfully. She even praised me for my great answers." Niu Xiaoxiao said obediently.

"Great. What about you?" Richard asked Diana. Diana held her right face with her right hand and said thoughtfully: "At the beginning, the questions asked by the Lord of Xingge City were similar to those asked by Niu Xiaoxiao, that is, some questions about the cleaning lady.

But after I answered those questions, she started asking about you, Mr. Richard."

Ok?
Richard immediately became nervous.

"What did she ask you?"

"Well. She asked me, what kind of person do I think you are, teacher?"

"Then how did you answer?"

"Just speak normally. I have described your personality in full, Mr. Richard.

Smart, hardworking, kind, handsome, honest, gentle, considerate, etc. "

Richard: ...

Richard looked at Diana's sparkling eyes and already knew how Diana would praise him.

There is a saying that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Diana likes Richard, so she has an extremely serious beauty filter in her mind for Richard, automatically making up for Richard's shortcomings and beautifying Richard in all aspects. Especially in front of Xingge. Diana will not say a word that is not favorable to Richard.

This unfair and subjective comment must be in great conflict with Xingge's perception of Richard.

Richard couldn't help but become curious: "What did Xingge say after hearing your answer?"

Diana had a strange expression on her face: "The Lord of Star Song City told me that I must have been deceived by you. She said that it is impossible for such a perfect person to exist in the Silver City.

Either all of this is acted out by you, teacher, or you, Teacher Richard, are a fanatic believer in the Holy See.

She also told me to open my eyes and recognize your true nature as a teacher. "

Richard: ...

Diana did not stop, but continued: "I refuted the Lord of Xingge on the spot. I said that you are not acting, nor are you a spy of the Holy See. You are such a noble person, Teacher Richard. I like you very much and confessed to you, but you did not accept it.

As a result, the Lord of Xingge City told me that every time after school, Teacher Chad, after you finished tutoring me, you would go to the club to tutor other girls who were younger and prettier than me.

She also said, the reason why you didn’t accept me, teacher, must be because you had eaten too much outside.

A man will not be hungry when he goes home only if he is well fed outside. "

Richard: ...

Hey!
Richard laughed awkwardly: "Don't listen to Xingge's nonsense, she has a personal prejudice against me and deliberately ruins my reputation."

"So it's fake? Teacher, you didn't give extra lessons to a little girl who is younger and prettier than me?" Diana asked expectantly.

"Yes." Richard answered very sadly. "But listen to my explanation."

"Oh." Diana's expression darkened.

She touched Niu Xiaoxiao's head and said, "Xiaoxiao, go back to your room first. You can listen to the following things when you are an adult."

"Ah..." Niu Xiaoxiao, who was eating the melon, was reluctant to leave, but was still driven away by Diana's sharp eyes.

After confirming that Niu Xiaoxiao had gone upstairs, Diana sat upright on the sofa, pointed at the floor in front of her, and said:

"Teacher Richard, please stand here."

"I'm already standing?" Richard was a little confused.

"stand at attention!"

"Oh." Richard didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This was clearly his method of criticizing students who made mistakes.

Diana only said this to express her anger, and she didn't really want Richard to execute it. She pouted and said angrily:

“Teacher Richard, I understand that you have needs. After all, you are an adult male in your prime.

But when you need it, you can come to me. I'm clean and free. How can you degenerate and look for those fallen women? This kind of behavior will dirty your soul and body!"

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you talking about? I swear to God, that was just a proper massage. I didn't do anything improper."

"The Lord of Xingge City said that you gave them extra lessons! Don't think I don't know that for you men, extra lessons mean doing that kind of thing! Mr. Richard, you need to reflect on yourself instead of quibbling."

Diana was very angry.

"The tutoring she was talking about was serious tutoring, just like the tutoring I gave you. Oh my, where did you learn such a mess? I didn't do what you imagined."

Who would have thought that after hearing Richard's explanation, Diana's expression became even more miserable, as if the sky had fallen.

"Real tutoring?! Besides tutoring me, you actually tutored other female students! No need to reflect on it, just execute him." Diana took out the magic book silently. "While you have no magic power, I will kill you first and then commit suicide for love."

So in your eyes, me tutoring others is worse than being a ladybug?
Richard raised his staff, tapped Diana's head gently, and said with a smile: "Okay, stop it. I know you want an explanation. Let me explain it to you clearly.

I remember that I had talked about the stories of refugees from other countries in class before. Those girls were refugees from other countries.

In our Silver City-State, we have very strict restrictions on refugee employment, including background checks, restrictions on employment scope, and employment permits.

Our city-state will conduct strict security screening and background checks on refugees who apply for entry through normal channels. This procedure is designed to ensure that refugees do not pose a threat to the national security of the Silver City-State before they are granted asylum. This process may involve detailed investigations into personal history, religious stance, family relationships, magical prowess, and behavioral records in the home country.

Under the conservative policies of the Silver City-State, background checks are very strict, and only a handful of refugees can pass background checks through normal channels.

Therefore, the vast majority of refugees in our country are illegal immigrants without any identity.

Refugees who sneak in cannot obtain employment permits, so naturally they cannot find normal jobs.

Even if these refugees obtain legal work permits through certain channels, their employment options may be severely restricted, such as being a "medicine man" who can only experiment with magic potions, a "blood slave" whose blood is drawn and sold, or a miner who mines in areas with high magic radiation.

Most of the girls who work in the club have no other choice but to work there. They have relatively outstanding looks. This is their luck, but also their misfortune.

If those girls smuggled in through the border of their own will, then no matter what fate they ended up in, it was their own choice and I would not feel any sympathy for them.

But many of them were born to illegal immigrants. They were sold to clubs at a very young age and trained by the clubs as tools to make money.

It was by chance that I came into contact with those girls. Some of them were unwilling to take up this profession and hoped to learn magic to change their own destiny.

Teachers in our college and other colleges either have families or are too concerned about their reputation to teach girls. I don’t care about these things, so I helped them.”

After listening to Richard's explanation, Diana showed a look of enlightenment: "Oh~ I told you! This is what you should do, Mr. Richard.

The Lord of Xingge City said that they are all younger than me, is that true?"

"Hmm... let me think about it. Many of them actually lied about their ages because the club needed them to earn money as soon as possible. And they were refugees without formal household registration, so they were exactly the age the club said they were.

So although the club claims that they are all over 18, their actual ages are very young.

The youngest one, who was only 11 years old, was pulled out by the club and sold at a high price to satisfy some perverted appetites.

As far as I know, the oldest of them is no more than 20 years old, which is indeed younger than you."

Diana asked worriedly, "Teacher Chad, you don't like younger girls, do you?
If you like good-looking things, I can learn how to put on makeup for you. If you like good figures, I can learn magic to transform myself. It’s not too late now.

But if you like younger ones, what can I do? Rejuvenation is a forbidden spell. By the time I learn how to rejuvenate, you will have grandchildren with another woman. Woo——"

"Haha. Don't worry, I'm a normal person with normal aesthetic tastes." Richard said with a smile. "Come to think of it, I actually have something I want to ask you for help with.

The Lord of Xingge City had previously launched a crackdown, severely punishing all clubs in the entire Travel City that were involved in forced labor.

The girls I just mentioned were also rescued by her. They are now serving as maids in the City Lord's Mansion of Xingge City Lord.

Of course, although she is called a maid, her job intensity is actually very low. She is basically raised in an orphanage by the Lord of Xingge City.

I just went to the City Lord's Mansion before I came to you. Those little girls still want to learn magic as before. I plan to continue to help them, but my power alone is limited.

After all, I am a middle-aged man and I cannot take good care of them.

So I would like to ask you to be my teaching assistant, and your main task is to help them learn magic.

Before you graduate, it's an internship period. If you still like this job after graduation, you can become a full-time employee. I'll tell you about the salary first, and you can consider whether you agree or not."

"I agree!" Diana said immediately.

Richard was somewhat helpless: "I haven't even started talking about my salary yet."

"No matter what kind of treatment Teacher Chad gives me, I agree. As long as I have a bite to eat and I won't starve to death, that's fine. I can also take care of your daily life. I can do what those little sisters can do, and I can also do what they can't do. Teacher, just let me be your assistant. This has always been my dream."

Diana grabbed Richard's arm, her eyes almost filled with tears with excitement.

"No...wait a minute. I'm begging you now, please be reserved."

Richard smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay. As long as you agree. I will arrange for you to meet them in the near future.

Don't worry, I'm a conscientious person and I will never treat you unfairly.

I just received the Silver Cross, and a huge sum of two million gold coins is coming soon. We have plenty of money."

"Hehe. Of course I believe the teacher. I have a job after graduation." Diana said happily: "I was still worrying about this."

"Hmm? You didn't plan to become a teacher or a magic researcher after graduation?"

"My family won't allow me to go back." Diana pouted and said, "Teacher, you know my family's situation. My parents have already stopped my living expenses and want to force me to go back.

I'm not going back. What's so good about that crappy place? I'm staying here!

In school, I still have some extracurricular tasks to do, which can help me earn some living expenses. When I graduate, I can no longer take extracurricular tasks.

Without living expenses, I can't concentrate on preparing for the teacher and magic researcher exams. The competition in school is too fierce. Even I am not sure if I can study and work at the same time."

Richard: ...

Oh, yes. Diana's family is a conservative wizard, the most traditional and oldest wizard family, and the main force of the wizard camp in the witchcraft war. They have always been quite dissatisfied with Diana becoming a wizard.

Once before, their family sent a wizard to take Diana back by force, but I stopped him.

I didn't expect that the other party would even stop paying for my living expenses. How cruel! No wonder Diana was so active in participating in various extracurricular tasks arranged by the school. It turned out that it was for the credits and bonuses that came with the extracurricular tasks.

"Next time you have this kind of problem, tell me earlier." Richard stabbed Diana helplessly.

"Given our relationship, I will definitely try to help you."

Diana stuck out her tongue. "That's why I don't want to tell you. I owe you too much, and I can't pay it back. But you don't want me to pay it back with myself."

Haha. Fish me, fish me again, and still fish me! You want to fish me into a black carp, right?

Tsk. You can continue to have fun while you are still a student. When I want you to, you have to be pulled back even if you run on the ground.

Richard smiled sinisterly and said, "By the way, it's almost time. I'll take you to the prison where I work now. Let's go."

"Yeah!" Diana nodded excitedly.

"Wait a minute, take Xiaoxiao with you." Before leaving, Richard suddenly stopped.

The cleaning lady Olivia Dell, who had a shady relationship with Oxford, had been identified as a spy and she had committed suicide. That little person was not necessarily safe in the Mage Academy.

Although the magic-banning effect of Saint Laurent Prison might make Xiao Xiao feel a little uncomfortable, it is better than leaving her alone.
