Magic!

"Ah! Mr. Principal, when did you appear behind us!" Feng Chime was startled and turned around suddenly, "Don't speak so abruptly behind others, it's scary!"

"It's really scary." Russell looked calm and calm, telling pun jokes that Feng Chi couldn't understand, and then asked Duncan:

"Now that the investigators from the World Supernatural Congress have come to our academy, what are they mainly investigating?"

There are so many things happening in the college during this period of time!

Duncan smiled and said:

"Ah, there are several things, including arresting cultists who are suspected of believing in the Old Ones, and checking on students who have lost their supernatural powers due to occult diseases.

"In addition, I have reported the crimes committed by Thorn Birds before, including killing many students more than ten years ago, and now single-handedly leading this occult plague. The parliament wants the school to cooperate and investigate the relationship between Thorn Birds, a graduate of the college. matter.

"Oh, I almost forgot, thorn bird, thorn bird, thorn bird."

Russell did not interrupt Duncan and nodded while listening.

Although Duncan's tone was very calm, and he finally made a harassing phone call from Thorn Bird, like a little boy who was ignorant of the world talking about ordinary things today, Russell could guess from these things the pressure on the school and Duncan. .

The students at the college come mainly from various witchcraft families and secret societies. So many students have lost their extraordinary abilities in a short period of time, and it is not known whether they can recover. This is enough to alarm the organization behind them, the Accountability Academy.

The case where a large number of students died and were forgotten more than ten years ago also brought shame to the college. In addition, the culprit was Thorn Bird, an outstanding graduate of the college. During this time, Duncan and other college senior officials had to face a lot of pressure. .

"By the way, Mr. Principal, I'll give you this awakening potion. It's up to you whether you want to return it to the Arctic Wolf or not." Russell handed the scarlet potion to Duncan, and at the same time reported on the research progress in the past few days - that is, there was no progress.

"Russell, you don't need to be too stressed. The school hospital and colleges are focusing on this matter. You are just a junior college student, so this pressure really shouldn't be borne by you. Wait until you pass the actual examination for admission to colleges and universities and succeed. After entering the upper secondary school, you can take this task as a research topic - the upper secondary school, unlike the junior college, emphasizes free academic research and does not have a variety of courses."

Duncan put the awakening potion into his army green schoolbag, stood on tiptoes with a smile, and patted Russell on the shoulder.

"Those investigators looked anxious? And not very polite." Russell recalled the encounter with them and said to Duncan.

Duncan shrugged:

"That's how those guys get high salaries just by occupying the pit. Just get used to dealing with them, and they seem to have a lot of opinions about the college.

"What you saw this time is just the elite commissioners. What will happen if you meet the old antiques from the Supreme Council who are numbered with numbers - even though half of them barely show up."

Russell had learned a little bit about it before and knew that the Supreme Council was the core governing body of the World Supernatural Parliament and was composed of 13 council members with different numbers. It could be said to be the most powerful group of bureaucrats in the entire supernatural world.

Most of these 13 leaders who stand at the top of the extraordinary world have a mysterious identity and can only be called by numerical codes from 001 to 013. Even if he appears, he may be a substitute or an illusion projection.

And it is said that in addition to 001, the remaining council members may also swap code names regularly, making it harder to tell.

"What are the main areas of conflict between the World Supernatural Council and the Academy?" Russell asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time.

When Teacher Black Amber doubted Nocturne, the first thing he thought of was the people from the World Supernatural Council!

"The parliament itself is fine. Different members come from different witchcraft families and secret societies, and the gap in their views is incredible. Every time there is a meeting, the group of gentlemen and ladies will fight, and their opinions are not actually unified.

“But the Supreme Council above the Parliament has always been very concerned about the academy.

"They feel that in today's supernatural world, too much talent comes from the Academy. The Academy threatens the High Council's transcendent status in the supernatural world.

"Many of them firmly believe that families and associations are the direction of the supernatural world. Witchcraft should ultimately be passed down in an ancient form that has not changed for thousands of years. Every family and secret association has its own extraordinary system.

"And allowing thousands of people to receive systematic education in colleges is regarded as a kind of deviance. It is a betrayal of the occult world by modern and industrialized society, and it is an assembly line factory that lacks soul and ideas."

When Duncan said the last part, he deliberately raised his voice and spoke with a high voice, imitating the gestures and voices of some members of the Supreme Council when speaking, as if he was giving a mellow speech on the podium, criticizing the irrationality of the existence of the academy. .

Duncan couldn't help but laugh as he imitated.

Russell didn't laugh when he heard these words.

His face was gloomy, and he suddenly realized something.

Although students from ordinary families like him and Kuroba are not easy to get along in the academy and often need to apply for student loans to afford tuition, they still have the opportunity to receive supernatural education.

At least within the academy, Russell had a good impression of most of the teachers.

In the academy, there are no additional conditions attached to learning extraordinary abilities and occult knowledge - he does not need to accept specific dogmas or believe in specific existences in order to receive corresponding education. This is different from his joining the Red Order of Chaos. completely different.

If the academy did not exist, it would be difficult for extraordinary people who came from ordinary families to have unexpected spiritual awakenings to receive systematic extraordinary education.

——Unless they are lucky enough to know how to join those secretive organizations, or choose to join a certain family as a domestic servant.

But this is very troublesome. After all, it is not a reciprocal cooperative relationship. You must pay a lot of price. You have to accept the beliefs and dogma of a specific religious group or secret society, and you also have to bind your future and future to a specific organization.

However, if you think about it from another perspective, is this world line that does not exist in the academy something that some witchcraft families and secret societies like to see?

Russell's thoughts were racing, and he realized that after nearly two years of study and life, he already had a certain affection for the college.

"Speaking of which, the green bearded leader of this group is your senior. But he seems to be in a bad mood today."

Duncan's words pulled Russell out of his thoughts.
