The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　Her name is Koro.

　Ruoer even received a gag order from Professor Sylph. But by then, she had already told several of her close friends from the same college what she had seen.

　Although "Magic Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" didn't find anything suspicious in her mind, since the previous beastmen were all normal, and Dark always needed to select a group for a second round of screening, he temporarily included her as well.

　Aside from the Knights' Academy and the Magic Academy, only a few orcs in the Fools' Academy and the Nobles' Academy knew anything about the situation.

　The House of Nobles, in particular, was largely unaware of the situation.

　Like Grace Leon and the other two orc royals. Even when they were woken up by the Sorting Card notification before they were fully awake, they still had a bit of morning grumpiness in them.

　How could they possibly know what was happening outside?

　Soon, thanks to Principal Arte's persuasive skills, "Magic Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" was able to continuously read minds and confirm, and finally finished examining all the orcs in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

　However, the first review yielded no results.

　Whether they were unaware or aware, no one had any particular feelings about the suffering of the grassland spirits.

　With great difficulty, Dark managed to select a second batch of eight orcs. Among these eight orcs were two leaders from the War Totem Academy. These two had clearly known the intelligence beforehand, but when they gathered at the entrance, they did not inform the twenty-second orc prince, Grace Leon, of this information.

　This abnormal behavior, which defied normal logic, led to those two being permanently flagged.

　It's one thing for the students, but as their guardians, they have no reason not to give them a warning.

　In short, after identifying eight suspects, Dak began the second round of investigation and review.

　Outside, however, Principal Arte suddenly brought up what had happened that morning.

　At that moment, all twenty-six orcs experienced very obvious emotional fluctuations.

　In particular, the orc prince Grace Leon almost immediately used this as a basis to determine the real reason why he had been specially summoned to the principal's office this time.

　His mood instantly soured, and he glared fiercely at the rhinoceros beastmen who had made them suspects, cursing them as worthless trash.

　If the orcs had won both duels with the grassland elves, they would have been completely innocent and wouldn't have aroused suspicion, and I wouldn't be in this predicament today.

　Grace Leon only wanted to win the "School Championship" and had no interest in anything else.

　In fact, he also deeply abhorred such malicious incidents that could negatively impact the organization of the "Academy Championship".

　What he truly wanted to do, and was prepared to do, was to continue the private duels with the elves, with a few of his orc royals taking action, to regain their honor through duels and thus crush the elves' morale.

　Of course, it's not so easy to do now.

　He could almost imagine that every subsequent clandestine action against the elves would deepen suspicion against the orcs.

　On the other hand, the elves could use this as an opportunity to openly declare war on them.

　The situation suddenly turned sour.

　"So it really has nothing to do with him," Dark said. After confirming a second time, "Magic Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" immediately turned to the two orc leaders.

　Then, her cold expression suddenly turned strange. Dak thought she had finally found a clue and quickly asked her.

　But "Fantasy Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" pointed to one of the cat-tribe orc leaders and said, "It has nothing to do with this incident. That cat-tribe orc harbored ill intentions towards the orc prince."

　"Which prince?" Dark was startled and frowned sharply.

　But "Fantasy Beasts: Goddess of the Mind" said, "Both." Dark asked in confusion, "Both?"

　"Fantasy Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" said, "Yes. He brought..."

　They came with a mission: to cripple, or at least one of, those two orc princes during the "Academy Championship"!

　Dark said, "If one of them is involved, it's most likely Spikelon. After all, he's weaker, making him easier to target. Afterward, he could frame Grace. I didn't expect this investigation to yield such unexpected results. Can you figure out who's driving him?"

　After a careful examination, "Magic Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" said, "The person he was dealing with was just an intermediary. He didn't know who the specific employer was, but guessed it was the third prince or the eighth prince."

　Dark nodded and said, "Those are the other two orc princes who possess magical talent."

　"Magic Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" said, "As a reward for the success of this mission, he will retrieve the artifact that his family lost earlier from the hands of the mastermind behind the scenes."

　Dark asked, "What kind of artifact?"

　"Fantasy Beasts: Goddess of the Mind" said, "A sword, a sword that can transform cat people!"

　Dark said, "This is really..." [Greed++1]

　In short, although the cat leader harbored malicious intent, he was not the culprit in this incident.

　Although he was not the murderer, he was plotting how to use this incident to trigger a full-scale war between the orcs and elves.

　Once the orc and elven players start fighting, he can take advantage of the chaos and complete his mission.

　This is a malicious plot that will escalate the incident further.

　Fortunately, the "Magical Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" was there, and exposed his intentions before he could act. Otherwise, St. Marian Academy would have faced even greater and more difficult chaos.

　Dark felt relieved, but didn't forget to continue the investigation. [Magical Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye] continued its mind-reading. And, coincidentally...

　The other orc leader also had ulterior motives.

　The reason he led the team to St. Mary's College was to find Professor Nini!

　Professor Nini is of Behemoth descent, but in fact, there are no traces of human blood in her.

　Without being told otherwise, she would look like a pure-blooded Behemoth at first glance, and one with extremely high purity.

　At least the Behemoth standing in the office right now is clearly not as much of a Behemoth as Professor Nini.

　Sometimes, Dark would wonder if she really was mixed-race... As for the leader's intentions in searching for Professor Nini, that remained unclear. However, based on this, he could be ruled out as a suspect. The subsequent candidates in the second round of investigations were also eliminated one by one.

　Principal Arte specifically mentioned witch doctors, which led "Magic Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" to identify another wolf witch doctor who was extremely well hidden among the group. However, that wolf witch doctor also did not reveal any flaws.

　The reason he revealed himself to be a witch doctor was that he was considering using this as his last resort to secure victory in the "Academy Championship".

　Orc contestants have come to participate in the "Academy Championship." Besides aiming for "divine favor," another reason is the prospect of receiving huge rewards.

　Those who help the team achieve final victory, especially the outstanding players, will receive a reward personally promised by "Lionheart".

　This wolf-tribe witch doctor came solely for the reward.

　If he were allowed to remain hidden until the very end, he might actually be able to turn the tide.

　This was undoubtedly a formidable opponent. But he was still not the murderer.

　Another shaman from the Crow Clan also found no problems during the second examination.

　Thus, only three people remained from the second batch of eight.

　Of the last three orcs, one was a rhinoceros orc, one was an ape orc assigned to the Fool's House, and the other... was the lion orc that Witt and Robert bumped into, the one who was pointing at the rhinoceros orc and cursing.

　Leaving aside the suspicion of the rhinoceros orc, the ape orc was a mad beast shaman who also had some knowledge of curses, which is why he was listed as a secondary suspect.

　However, after careful examination, "Fantasy Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" still couldn't find any clues about him.

　The reason why the lion-orc was listed as a suspect was because he had actually attacked the elves!

　The discovery of this fact undoubtedly surprised Darko.

　The lion-clan orc who had been cursing the rhinoceros orcs since early morning had actually ambushed an elf last night and given him a good beating as a way of venting his anger.

　But whether the elf felt ashamed or something else, he didn't cause a ripple this morning.

　So there was a reason why the lion-man was cursing the rhinoceros-man orc. After all, he had just done something that showed he wasn't a complete waste.

　However, this also eliminated the lion-man as a suspect. In the end, only the rhinoceros-man remained…

　"Lets see."

　Dark rubbed his temples and said wearily.

　"Magic Beast: Goddess of the Mind" glared at him, clearly saying: I'm the one who's working, what are you talking about being tired for!

　However, the investigation into the rhinoceros orcs ultimately yielded no results.

　However, from the observations of "Fantasy Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye", it can be seen that the resentment in the heart of the rhinoceros beastman is constantly accumulating, and his rationality is gradually shattering with each event.

　Once he loses his rationality, he might actually do something irrational.

　In short, this is yet another highly destabilizing factor.

　I don’t know, I’m scared.

　These twenty-six orcs were all formidable opponents.

　Besides Grace and Spike, the other four orc royals were also extraordinary, but they were not suspected in this matter.

　However, in the wake of this incident, they are likely to fuel certain possible events.

　"At least, it wasn't a complete loss."

　"Early detection and prevention can nip problems in the bud."

　Dac tapped his fingers, thinking calmly.

Chapter 1177 The White Terror of St. Marian Academy (4k)

　Chapter 1177 The White Terror of St. Marian Academy (4k)

　"The first thing we need to deal with is the cat-like orc among the two leaders." "Whatever his motives or who hired him, it's none of our academy's business. But if he wants to commit violence within the academy, that won't do."

　"Especially since one of his targets is Spike Leon... he's practically asking for death!"

　Thinking of this, Dark's expression turned noticeably cold.

　However, he didn't need to take action. Since it had already been discovered in advance, as long as he reported it to the principal, the cat clan leader wouldn't be able to gain his freedom until the "Academy Championship" ended.

　"The second person we need to be careful of is another orc leader."

　"We must find out his true intentions in seeking out Professor Nini, whether he harbors any ill will. If he doesn't, then it doesn't matter, but if he does..."

　"These two team leaders seem unremarkable, but they're both actually quite cunning."

　"That makes sense, though. Who would lead this orcish force that clearly has no say in the matter, without some ulterior motive?"

　"Aside from the team leader, among the remaining orc students, the first one that needs to be dealt with is the lion orc from the Knight Academy. After all, his disciplinary violation of ambushing and beating an unknown elf is undeniable. Although there may not be any major punishment, it cannot be left unpunished."

　"The next thing to watch out for is the rhinoceros beastmen. We need to give them some psychological education to prevent them from actually committing crimes."

　That's basically it.

　Dark wrote down all the precautions one by one, and then continued to observe with "Magical Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye".

　But a short while later, Principal Arte's griffin sprite flew in and immediately transformed into Principal Arte's appearance.

　Then it sat down on the edge of the bed, crossed its legs, and asked, "So, have you found the suspect yet?"

　Dark was already used to Principal Arte's ability to create clones. He let "Magic Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" continue, then picked up his notebook and began reporting directly.

　A moment later, he put away his notes and finished his report.

　Meanwhile, the little elf who was actually Principal Arte was so astonished she couldn't close her mouth.

　However, Principal Arte, who was in the office outside, remained calm and composed as she chatted with the beastmen.

　She played two roles, and there was absolutely no sense of disharmony between them.

　This kind of mental manipulation ability is simply terrifying.

　However, considering that even when she was busy outside the academy, her clone inside the academy could still work as usual, she didn't find the current situation so scary.

　"I never imagined that a single orc team could harbor so many problems. If we hadn't discovered them beforehand, they might have really ruined this year's 'Academy Championship'," Principal Art said with slight worry. "But what I'm more worried about now is whether there are orcs in the other academy teams as well."

　Dark rubbed his temples and said, "It's hard to say there isn't."

　Principal Art sighed and said, "Even if it were true, we can't read minds one by one like we do with orcs. Besides, orcs are a special case; even mages generally don't have very sharp mental perception. If it were contestants or team leaders from other academies, they would be much more likely to notice their minds being spied on."

　Dark pursed his lips. He always felt that Principal Art really cared about the latter part—if she didn't have to worry about being discovered, she might actually do it.

　However, we generally don't comment on speculations without any "what ifs." In short, everything that needed to be reported has been reported; how to proceed is a matter for Principal Art and Professor Sylph to concern themselves with. As a third-year student, Dark has already done more than enough. As for the other houses, they are even less of his concern. Moreover, the core issue at hand is not there.

　The problem is that although they gleaned many crucial insights from the orcs' thoughts, they were unable to find the "culprit."

　Therefore, it is still far from being able to say "There is only one truth, and the murderer is XX".

　"So."

　After careful consideration, Principal Arte looked up and asked, "What are the chances that the murderer is an orc?"

　Dark shook his head and said, "To be honest, I don't think the murderer is an orc."

　Principal Art sighed for a while, then said, "Since we've already investigated, there's no point in continuing. Please wait a moment."

　After she finished speaking, her body suddenly tensed up and she became completely still.
