I am the descendant of a dark wizard, and I will inherit the family fortune.

"My students, I can do whatever I want!"

Hearing Dora's domineering words, Leon felt a little complicated for a moment, and he couldn't tell whether he was moved or what.

Daniel laughed angrily, "I said, no one can leave! The vice president didn't object, are you..."

Without waiting for Daniel to finish speaking, Dora pulled Leon to her side.

"Oh, the Vice President certainly didn't object, but he didn't agree either, so don't use the Vice President's name to pressure others!"

The vice president and Sailuha who were not far away could naturally hear the quarrel, but they looked up at the sky, as if it had nothing to do with them.

Daniel caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

And with Dora "charging" in the front, other professors also brought their students, or little wizards who had some relationship with them, to their side.

Daniel's meaning was very clear. He not only wanted to interrogate them, but also wanted to see the space rings of all the young wizards...

But Dora was adamant, and the atmosphere on the field became extremely heavy, like a powder keg about to explode...

So, seeing that the atmosphere was tense and no one was willing to give in, Vice Presidents Lamos and Selha thought about it and decided to intervene.

"Well, the College Cup isn't over yet. If we restrict them here, what will happen in the third round?"

Hearing the two leaders say this, Daniel suddenly became anxious.

This is no longer just Beatrice's business. The future and dignity of the Sieg family are at stake...

Of course, there are also those things in Beatrice's hands...

That alchemy hut alone is priceless, not to mention that Beatrice is "carrying" their family's latest and most powerful research.

What if... What if someone else gets their research...

Then wouldn't the Sig family's nearly a hundred years of hard work be equivalent to working for someone else?!

Although Daniel acted extremely anxious and seemed to be concerned about Beatrice's life or death, in his heart, he even felt that it would be better if Beatrice died...

Because the dead cannot speak, they are also the best at keeping secrets...

Daniel pondered silently in his heart, if someone stood up at this moment and told him... that he had killed Beatrice, then Daniel would probably say thank you to him first, and then kill him...

The most urgent task at this moment was to first confirm whether Beatrice was still alive, and then... regardless of whether she was dead or alive, who had done it...

Thinking of this, Daniel glanced at Hilda in the distance and expressed his request.

"Professor Lammers, Professor Selha, I have reason to suspect that Beatrice's..." Daniel paused, reorganized his words, and said, "Beatrice's temporary disappearance may be related to someone present, so I apply..."

Professor Reggie, who was standing next to him, had already noticed Daniel's glance just now. As a member of the Bolick family, Reggie naturally had to protect his... aunt.

Yes, according to seniority, Hilda is indeed Reggie's aunt...

Even though the age difference between the two is fifty years...

But there are many wizards who have children at the age of one hundred, so this is nothing.

As the "representative" of the Merbone Family in the Black Bone Forest, Reggie's mission is to protect Hilda and... monitor her.

Reggie had speculated about this aunt's uneasy relationship with the family. Perhaps she was related to Hilda's father, the current head of the Merbourne family...

Reggie had vaguely heard a rumor that the family the Patriarch admired most was the White Hair Family...

For this, he even forced his two daughters to death...

Could it be that Hilda was the same?

But this was the head of the family's family affair after all, so no one dared to ask or accuse him directly.

Putting his thoughts aside for a moment, Reggie immediately launched into a tirade against Daniel.

"Daniel, who is this someone you're talking about?"

Daniel has always looked down on Reggie, so he didn't even look at Reggie. "I said, it's someone! What? Does the smart Professor Reggie know who this someone is?"

Reggie immediately got angry. Smart Reggie... this was Daniel's mockery of him!

"Daniel! You bastard! Say it again if you dare!"

Daniel looked at Reggie with a very innocent expression, "Professor Reggie, why are you doing this?

I'm praising you! Listen everyone, I made it very clear, clever Professor Reggie...

As a result, Professor Reggie spoke harshly to me..."

Daniel shook his head, and then said in a tone that was three parts innocent, three parts puzzled, and four parts aggrieved: "Ah, why is Professor Reggie like this..."

Reggie: ...

"you……"

"All right!"

Lamos interrupted the farce directly, and then he said to Daniel: "I can understand your feelings, but the academy... remember, the academy is not your Sig family's academy."

Lamos glanced at the young wizards beside him and added, "At least... not now."

Click...

That simple sentence broke Daniel's heart.

This is the pain of the Xige family. From being the only dean family in the world, they have fallen to being one of the seven major families. Even their current prosperity is only superficial...

Daniel took a deep breath. He naturally didn't dare to challenge Lamos. After all, he was the vice-president and his strength was far superior to his...

"Professor Lamos, as you said, Beatrice's matter isn't just her own. It concerns the entire family. So, I must give the family an explanation..."

Lamos nodded. "Yes, I know your family values ​​Miss Beatrice, but according to the current intelligence, Miss Beatrice was attacked by the Burbank clan..."

So, this shouldn’t have much to do with them.”

When Lamos said this, he also looked at Leon beside Dora.

Leon was stunned for a moment and bowed slightly to show his respect.

Lamos looked away and continued, "You cannot restrict the freedom of these children, nor do you have the right to see their space rings. All I can do is allow you to search for Beatrice's space ring."

Daniel frowned. That's it? !

What's the difference between that and nothing?!

In fact, this is what Lamos thought. It would be enough to give Daniel some insignificant conditions and get rid of him first.

"Vice President Lamos, this..."

Seeing that Daniel wanted to bargain, Lamos gave Selha a look.

Sai Erha snorted coldly, "Dean Lamos has made it very clear. Being able to do this for your Sig family is more than enough. If you are still not satisfied, then you can leave now!"

Not to mention the deputy dean, perhaps Sai Erha can make further progress in the next two years...

Daniel had no choice but to agree.

So he instructed the two assistants beside him to directly investigate the young wizards present.

Dora tells Leon he can avoid it.

But Leon said that he was one of the triggers of this dispute, so he was quite cooperative...

After all, if you walk upright and sit upright, you will not be afraid of your shadow being crooked.

If you say there is no Beatrice ring, then there is none!

Daniel rarely smiled at Leon and said that if he had a chance, he could go to his office and sit down...

Eventually, everyone except Hilda and Alexander was examined.

……

At this time, Alexander was half a body length behind Hemeri, quietly watching the movements on Leon's side.

Noticing Alexander's movements, Hemeri suddenly asked, "What? Didn't you see Leon inside?"

Alexander nodded. "I saw him only when I first entered... and I suspect I was discovered at that time..."

Hemery did not continue the question, but instead asked about "the disappearance of Beatrice."

"Do you think... Beatrice is still alive?"

"My opinion... is the same as the teacher's."

Hemerli was obviously surprised to hear Alexander's answer.

"Oh? You think the same as me? Then tell me, what do I think?"

Alexander paused. "Since the teacher asked that... he must have thought Beatrice was... dead..."

Hemeri chuckled, "Haha, after not seeing you for two days, you seem to be a little braver.

Yes, I do think Beatrice is dead. Others might be lost, but she certainly won't be."

"Teacher, you told me before that the Burbanks are cowards, and they like to take prisoners... So... will Beatrice be captured?"

"You mean Beatrice is a prisoner?"

Hemeri smiled and shook his head. "No, if she becomes a prisoner, then the Sig family will be unable to sit still..."

Alexander didn't understand what Hemeri meant by this, but since Hemeri had no intention of explaining to him, he could only shut up and stand silently beside Hemeri...

But…why couldn’t Beatrice be captured?

Hmm? What's going on over there?

……

After checking around, I naturally didn't find Beatrice's ring.

Of course, there were some gains as well. A few young wizards who had committed murder and robbery thought they had been caught, and either exhibited stressful behaviors or simply "surrendered" themselves.

But this little thing was not noticed by everyone. It just made the students around them distance themselves from them and increase their vigilance in the future...

Daniel had a gloomy face. He knew it would be difficult to gain anything, but when he got the final result, he couldn't help but frown.

Is Beatrice dead?

What if he didn't die?

Just as Daniel was lost in thought, a figure suddenly crossed a small space door and came to Lipras.

He spoke a few words to Lipras, and then Lipras hurried towards Selha again.

Lipras was about to report to Selha, but Selha took the initiative to ask, "Is it news about Beatrice?"

Lipras was taken aback and answered hesitantly, "Not sure?"

"Oh? Then there's some connection. Just tell me!"

Lipras looked around at the professors, especially Daniel, who was staring at him intently. "Professors, Burbank has captured three prisoners... two men and one woman. The witch is suspected to be of noble status..."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! That's definitely not Beatrice!" (Impossible, absolutely impossible.jpg)

Facing other people's direct questions and various inquiring gazes, Daniel directly rejected this possibility.

"Sig will never be a slave!"

Everyone:...

When Leon heard this famous saying for the first time, he couldn't help but be surprised. He suppressed the urge to respond and continued to act as a nobody next to Dora.

Honestly, being a nobody also has its advantages. These professors don't care about him, so in front of him, there's no need to hide their relationships and likes and dislikes...

Selha rolled her eyes at Daniel. "Just because you say it's not true, it's not true? We'll go and confirm it later. If Beatrice is really captured, hehe, I think Professor Daniel should probably apologize to Professor Dora."

Daniel glanced at Dora and said through gritted teeth: "Okay!"

In the end, Dora didn't care about his apology at all and replied coldly, "I don't need it."

None of these professors stood up and said that the rights of the young wizards were violated...

Perhaps in their eyes, the little wizards are not worthy...

……

The farce ended here. When Leon followed Dora out, he noticed that Professor Temodo winked at him. Leon nodded quietly and then left the World Tower.

"Do you know Temodo?"

"Ah? Ah! We do know each other. He happens to be the person in charge of the camp I'm visiting."

Leon was secretly shocked. Teacher Dora's eyesight was too good...

Dora said nothing more, but led Leon slowly.

Leon noticed that Dora seemed to want to take him back to his residence, and although he was a little surprised, he had no choice but to follow her obediently.

After returning to her residence, Dora casually set up a magic circle.

Then he said bluntly: "Do you know why I brought you back?"

Leon was stunned for a moment, then slowly shook his head.

"Tell me, what did you do in there?"

"Teacher...I..."

Dora took two steps closer to Leon and said, "I think I know you quite well. Your eyes tell me that you have something wrong..."

After saying that, Dora took two steps back.

"You want to... deliberately cause a conflict with that little wizard? To prove something? That you don't have any ulterior motives? That you're not good at hiding things?"

"Teacher...I..."

Dora sighed and sat down in her seat.

"Leon, you are very smart. Among all my students, you are the smartest one."

Unlike Daniel's "admiration" for Reggie at that moment, Dora's words were sincere.

Leon was silent.

He was overwhelmed by Dora's sudden "move".

Leon also had to sigh that no one is a fool.

Whether ancient or modern...

If you treat them as fools...that would be a big mistake!

Some people think that after traveling through time, everything will go smoothly and they can manipulate the ancients at will...

Leon took a deep breath and said, "Teacher, I confess." (Really?)
