You call this the mastermind?

At this moment, the trial ground is in the night state.

Mellen, who was supposed to be undergoing the freshman trial, has unknowingly invaded the principal's office, but everything except him is still running as usual-

On the vast battlefield, the golden storm has long ceased to exist, and the personnel sent by the school to carry out the mission have also failed.

Even the bodies of many soldiers who died in the storm are now collected by the survivors, waiting for the workers to transport them back to the camp.

Some of the wizard apprentices who participated in the trial in Graham City have integrated into a group of remaining troops, some are still wandering in the wilderness, and some are mixed with the remnants of the Church of the Sun God...

According to their different performances, the school's trial "terminal" is always updating the scores and information in various fields.

The students are not clear about the corresponding operation details, but because the scenes they experienced are basically the same as those recorded in the news, they know that this is actually a trial.

However, even though they knew it, facing the corpses all around them, no one dared to be careless. They lived cautiously in every corner of the battlefield, fearing that they would accidentally die.

In this situation, basically no one would consider other things, let alone think about how "strange" the current experience of the more special student Egger among them was.

Mrs. Chelsea, who disguised herself as a black-haired girl, could not think of it either.

She did not even fully believe that her student Mellen had passed the so-called successor trial.

She had sent a message to the other party before, but there was no reply. She was not sure whether he could not receive it or was not free.

After searching in the entire trial area, he was still not found.

So just in case, the lady restored her original appearance, found the place where Mellen was attacked last, and began to wait quietly.

In her opinion, since the successor trial was based on the entrance trial, whether it was successful or not, Mellen should return to this original position after leaving the trial, and would not appear anywhere else.

I think the principal of Saint Grant Castle would not choose to go somewhere else to find Mellen.

However, the news from Mellen soon overturned her judgment.

"The bedroom connected to the office?"

"Marrying a little girl?"

"Browning?"

This news was so unexpected that Mrs. Chelsea, who knew more of the truth, changed her face unconsciously.

What surprised her even more was that, judging from the meaning of the news, her student Mellen had really passed the successor test?

How could this be possible?

Without giving her much time to think, the lady's attention was diverted to the appearance of a short figure.

The figure came silently, and the whole body seemed to be translucent, like some kind of projection-like existence.

Mrs. Chelsea recognized that this was a strange magic called the advent of the spirit, which could not be used by non-top wizards.

But this was not the point.

The point was that the person who appeared in the field of vision was Priestley Browning, the principal of St. Grant Castle!

Obviously, the other party thought the same as she did, and thought that Mellen would return to his original position.

"Isabella?"

When she saw the other person clearly, the other person also saw her presence, so a flash of surprise flashed across his originally stern face, "Why are you here?"

"Long time no see, Principal Browning."

The lady in an elegant black dress politely responded: "You look younger and younger."

When she first enrolled in St. Grant's Castle, Browning was already the principal, so she was the younger one in terms of age and seniority.

But now, she, a junior, accidentally learned some private matters of the elder in front of her...

"Is Egg Wilson your man?"

After glancing around and not seeing the figure of a certain young man, the visitor understood some of the situation, "He was able to trigger the successor trial, was it also your help?"

"We originally planned to make only one attempt."

The lady replied, "I never thought it would really succeed."

"But this will bring big trouble to Fort Saint Grant."

Browning said in a low voice: "Ask him to give up this identity, Isabella, for your sake, I will not pursue anything."

There was no displeasure or even anger in his voice, and the whole person seemed very rational and calm.

However, the more this happened, the more Mrs. Chelsea couldn't help but think of the messages that her students had just sent her.

Marrying a little girl...    Middle-aged man...

Looking at the figure of the child who was difficult to distinguish between male and female not far away, she couldn't help but ask: "Are you remembering correctly? When I was a student, you looked like a middle-aged man?"

"A secret technique of the Blackmore family, after my improvement, can make people grow inversely."

The child replied: "If you want to learn it, I can teach it to you as a kind of compensation for you."

The lady didn't say anything after hearing this. After thinking about it, she turned and said: "What if we refuse to give up?"

"You should be able to think of this consequence."

Principal Browning replied, "Before coming here, I considered killing him directly to eliminate future troubles. Now for your sake, I won't do this. But I will refuse to let him appear in Fort Saint Grant."

"His status as heir will never have a chance to be reflected."

"But what if he has already arrived at Fort Saint Grant?"

Madam smiled and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Arrived at Fort Saint Grant?

The child was startled when he heard this, and then frowned and said, "If you insist on turning Fort Saint Grant into your private property, Isabella, then I will use the influence of the school at all costs to retaliate against your family's industry."

If the heir appears inside the school, then he has no confidence that he can do anything to the other party. However, in this case, the worst result is to give up the current school and move the campus.

The historical heritage and fixed assets of the school campus are important, but the most important thing is the people in the school.

Where the people are, the school is there.

So, wanting to use this to ask the school to have a master is simply a fool's dream.

"But," Mrs. Chelsea said again, "If he not only appears in Fort Saint Grant, but also appears in a very secret room, what are you going to do?"

A very secret room?

Principal Browning frowned when he heard this, and then his face suddenly changed, realizing the seriousness of the matter.

He didn't think directly about himself, or rather, he thought about all the secret places in the school, including his room.

Some of these secret places are purely for secrets, while others cannot be discovered because they involve all aspects of things.

For example, the school's secret archives.

It's okay if the former is discovered, but the latter...

In a sense, the latter is a pile of "stains" or even "evidence".

Which school has not had dirty things happen?

It's just that for various reasons in the past, the school did not destroy some traces.

Considering the closedness and security of Fort Saint Grant, no one would think that these things could be discovered by outsiders.

However, now, the "building" of Fort Saint Grant has recognized its master...

"You should understand, Isabella."

Browning said slowly: "Sometimes, knowing too much will only bring harm."

"Of course, we don't want to know too many irrelevant things."

Mrs. Chelsea replied softly, "The premise is that our rights and interests need to be given due consideration."

"And I think you don't want to do something like transferring schools, which is bound to be a big loss, right?"

...

Mrs. Chelsea, as a teacher, has been fighting for his interests to be maximized, but the person involved, Mellen, has no time to think about it.

Not long after sending the message, he was thinking about whether to leave here honestly or explore the secrets, and heard a knock on the door outside the office.

And a sentence that surprised him.

"President Bennett of the Scarlet Cross is here to visit you again, Principal, have you considered meeting him?"

Merlen is very familiar with the name of the Scarlet Cross.

Because that is the name of the organization behind the nuns, the organization that is suspected of wanting to let the child of destiny take the blame!

If nothing unexpected happens, there will be another chapter in the evening~
