My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 77: I met a mysterious bodyguard at the corner and tried my best but couldn't defeat him

Caiaphas's words surprised Roland.

But it's not very surprising.

Just as Caiaphas said, humanity’s greatest enemy was once the demons that now inhabit the north.

The innate high-strength body, the special techniques inherited in the blood, and the resistance to spells all forced humans at that time to pay attention to the development of other aspects of their abilities.

Therefore, most of the strong men who participated in the Demon King War back then were warriors.

Pure magic players like Fram were actually the outliers of that era.

Caifas continued, "Because he is the dean, the entire academy actually places great emphasis on practical and applied education."

"You haven't seen many students these days except for the opening ceremony, have you?"

Roland nodded.

"Because most students don't choose to stay in the college for a long time."

"After all, anyone who can pass that rigorous practical test doesn't need further instruction from the academy."

"Except for students who are truly lacking in practical skills but excel in academic research, or students who have exhausted their potential and just want to rely on semester assessments to get a diploma."

"The vast majority of students choose to earn points by accepting commissions from the General Supervisory Bureau, the military, the Continental History Society, the Holy See, and even the Adventurer's Association."

"You will definitely take this path in the future."

"Firstly, the academy doesn't have many regular courses. Secondly, it's easier to go out and do commissions than to stay in the academy all day."

“Although the risks are great, the rewards are also greater.”

After saying this, Caiaphas sat up straight and said, "Well, that concludes the senior's advice."

"Now let's get down to business."

"You may not know that not everyone can deliver the teacher's handwritten letter."

"It represents his trust and his attitude towards the recipient."

After saying that, Caiaphas asked, "Teacher... has he also decided to get involved in this mess in the capital?"

"I thought he would be like me and just sit back and watch."

"Did he choose to stand on the side of the princess?"

Roland: “???”

After a brief moment of confusion, Roland figured out the situation.

The person in front of me seems to have misunderstood something... No, maybe it's not a misunderstanding?

If what Caifas said was true, and the handwritten letter from Dean Hearn had a different meaning, would he really want me to come here to accomplish something?
Otherwise, why do you have to let me deliver the letter?

Forget it, I still can’t figure out the twists and turns between these old guys.

He felt that the person in front of him might not be very clear either.

But Caiaphas seemed to think he might know.

"Director Caifas," Roland said, "If one day, a direct conflict breaks out between Iluvia and the Duke of Wellington."

"If the consequences of the conflict between the two sides will cause the entire capital to be reduced to ruins, what will you do?"

"Still neutral?"

Caiaphas frowned and wanted to say something to reprimand him, but he quickly reacted.

Ah, maybe this is his teacher pointing it at him!

No wonder Roland, who has a close relationship with Iluvia, was asked to test his attitude.

This question is not difficult to think about, because Caiaphas always has his own bottom line to adhere to.

"If it really comes to the point where innocent civilians are affected, I will take action."

"And then?" Roland asked, "Which side will you support? Or do you intend to become enemies of both?"

Caiaphas: "..."

Which side should I help? Is that even a question?

It's impossible for him to help Wellington, right? He was already considering the overall situation by not rushing over and chopping off his head.

and many more!

When Caiaphas looked at Roland, he only saw a smile on his face: "It seems you already have the answer."

"That's enough, Mr. Caifas. By the way, I think the dean has already written about the plan to strengthen the academy's security in the letter."

"I won't comment on the school's arrangements." Caifas nodded. "I understand. Give my regards to the teacher."

Roland stood up, bowed slightly, said goodbye, and left the office.

After Roland left, Caiaphas walked to the window and watched Roland's back as he left the headquarters.

"Teacher, is this what you told me before...that there is no other choice?"

“For me, there really is no other choice.”

"No wonder the princess gave up the idea after only a few interactions with me."

"She just needs to know that there is no way I will side with Wellington."

"And what that boy said, is the princess finally ready to take action?"

"Tsk, Kaul. Your son has even more twists and turns than you do..."

Caiaphas looked back at the envelope that Roland had placed on his desk, but he still had no intention of opening it and reading it.

He understands the teacher so well.

The letter must contain a lot of nonsense and little useful information.

Just send someone directly to the academy tomorrow.

It would be better to send some people. If what Roland said is true, then the headquarters will need enough manpower to deal with the conflict that will break out next.

……

After leaving the General Inspectorate and walking for a while, when Roland reached the vicinity of the City Hall again, an item that Roland had obtained before entering the Royal Capital suddenly reacted at this moment.

[Insight Badge Effect Triggered: Successful probability determination, ignoring illusion skills once.]

The next moment, a mysterious man covered in a black cloak and only half a head shorter than him appeared out of thin air five meters away from him.

"!!!"

Without any hesitation, after discovering the other party's existence, Roland immediately controlled the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid to condense a long sword and swung it towards the mysterious man.

The mysterious man standing there did not react at all and seemed to be stunned.

It was not until the sword was close to the mysterious man that she raised her hand and grabbed the sword.

The crisp sound of metal colliding with stone rang in Roland's ears. The long sword that had always been invincible was now being grasped by the mysterious man with one hand, and the sword tip could not move.

"Run!"

Seeing that his attack failed, Roland flashed away instantly, intending to run towards the General Supervision Bureau.

Fortunately, he hadn't walked far, and was only four or five flashes away from the General Supervision Bureau.

But just as his first flash ended and he was about to start his second flash, he found a hand on his shoulder, and then someone pressed his shoulder from mid-air and brought him to the ground.

"Calm down. Roland Lancelot."

"I'm not your enemy."

"Think about it, if I wanted your life, you would have died long ago."

A cold and helpless voice reached Roland's ears.

After his skill combo was broken by completely incomprehensible means, Roland chose to believe.

After all, you have to believe it, the situation is stronger than people.

And what the other party said makes a lot of sense.

But he still asked the question he wanted to know most: "How did you do it?"

"How did you do that?"

"How did you catch me?" Roland continued to ask.

"Aura. Your technique is very unique. In terms of speed alone, I might not be able to catch up with you."

"But I can predict your location based on the direction of your aura and the direction you are most likely to escape."

"By the way, don't worry about others finding out. I've included you in the range of my spell."

After saying that, the mysterious man released Roland's hand and said, "Let's talk somewhere else."

"Although I don't know how you found me, according to the agreement between Tolan and me."

"Now that you've found me, there's something I need to tell you."

"Also, from a personal perspective, I have some questions for you."
