Team villains except me

Valerio's second guest in the office is Norvia Laili.

At that time, Valerio was still a little dazed by the news brought by Huett, and the regular knock on the door abruptly interrupted his various conjectures.

When Valerio said "Come in," he felt a cool breeze.

Valerio hated the stickiness of summer, and he didn't think there was anything endearing about the hot atmosphere—although Raphael loved summer.

Now, the weather is even worse.

Valerio looked at Norvia who walked in, thinking about whether to hire a water or wind magician to cool down this luxurious but overheated office.

Valerio put on the chairman's signature smile on his face.

"Student Norvia, have you decided to join the Special Incident Investigation Division?"

Norvia's tone was straight.

"Is there a discount for the purchase of artifacts by internal members of the Special Incident Investigation Department?"

Valerio froze for a moment.

"Maybe not?"

He doesn't buy discounted stuff, so doesn't know much about that.

However, after hearing this, the half-mermaid simply rejected his invitation.

"Then I won't join."

Valerio:?Is there any discount for young people to join a secret organization?

Today's vice-captain students are a little anxious.

Valerio saw that she had little interest in talking about the Special Incident Investigation Service, so he raised his eyebrows with interest.

"What do you want to ask?"

The beautiful half-mermaid was steaming all over her body, and her eyebrows and eyes were usually gentle and tolerant, but at this moment she was frowning, her eyes were sharp enough to tear through the false disguise.

She is hesitating.

But she spoke anyway.

"Mr. Valerio, I saw the rules of the cooperative competition in previous years. The team members on the field need to carry mascots - so do we also need to bring Arlinxiu to participate in the competition?"

Valerio first wondered what "Arinxiu" was, and then he remembered the unknown creature with a bold color on the information.

Generally speaking, this mascot exists only as a symbol of a distinguished squad.

People admire the squad and want something like them.Such as the clothes they wear, such as the food they eat, such as their mascot.

This is a very convenient way to raise money, and Valerio can now imagine the scene where "Arinxiu" is enthusiastically sought after by people.

Valerio smiled lightly, his silver eyes shining brightly.

"Yes. It needs to be played."

Norvia's eyelashes were half drawn, her face was clearly expressionless, and Valerio could still feel her reluctance.

"Arinxie is not a mere mascot. It's an individual, it has a mind of its own, it's a living being—created by us."

"But it still needs to play. Norvia, it needs to grow and be capable when it is by your side."

Norvia remained silent.

Valerio didn't understand Norvia's thoughts. He knew the horror of this world early on, and he quickly understood the price of survival.

The world was never made of sugar cubes.

Some people are lucky enough to grow up innocent and protected.

But who can say that this is absolute luck.

Especially in this era when people's hearts are easy to change and human nature is weak.

"Norvia, how cruel this world is, you have experienced it. You can protect Arlene for a year, two years. You will graduate in two years, and when you find a job, your life will be completely different from now. At that time Can Yalinxiu still live in the wonderful world you wove for it?"

Valerio pinned his brown hair behind his ears.

"Pampering will cause fish to lose their gills in the sea. Student Norvia, there is still some time before the cooperative competition begins."

"If Arlene Hugh gets hurt on the field—even dies..."

"Who says being alive is lucky? The world is rotten."

Valerio rested his chin, his tone was calm, but his eyes were dark.

The slender half-mermaid sighed heavily.

Her white hair was brilliantly dyed by the sun, as if the world was thriving forward.
