Chapter 31: Head of School Meg

This was the second day after Haena made headlines, and it happened to be Sunday.

Haena went to the Royal Law University after a long absence.

Although it was Sunday, there were still many people in the school. After all, there was still a month before the final exam, and it was time to prepare even if it was a last-minute effort.

Haena was not nervous at all.

She even put on her own armor and equipped herself with a dagger exclusive to the inspector, standing downstairs of the girls' dormitory, smiling at the juniors coming and going.

"Hello, senior!"

"Senior Haena."

"Good morning, senior Haena."

"Silver Crown Dragon... I wish you good health, Miss Haena."

The juniors and even students of the same grade as Haena came over to greet her politely when they saw her. Looking at the leisurely Haena, the busy students showed envy.

They were still working hard to prepare for the final exam, but Haena had graduated early!

But they would never have thought that Haina did it on purpose.

She didn't come back for anything.

She just wanted to see her juniors busy with exams while she could take a leisurely walk in the school.

So cool. Ah, so cool.

It was as if the fatigue and stress accumulated from staying up late to prepare for the early graduation exams were purified...

The Royal Law University is not a pure school for extraordinary people.

It has 140 teaching buildings and six departments. Only two of them will teach students how to become extraordinary people, and two departments will give priority to teaching mysterious skills of other paths.

It was only started twenty years ago, under the Queen's special permission, to learn "forbidden skills" for the prosperity and development of the kingdom - such as alchemy, art and preservation.

The remaining two departments are used to produce high-quality civil servants for Avalon. The largest number of people are ordinary people.

The criss-crossing teaching buildings can almost be called a small town. It is divided into six large areas by crisscrossing streets, and each area has various vendors and residents. You can buy most of what you want without even leaving the territory of the "university".

The layout of the Royal Law University occupies a considerable part of the Red Queen District. Therefore, the Red Queen District is also known as the "University District".

The housing prices here are very high. So high that Haina dare not even think about it.

The reason why the core areas of the two glass islands of Red and White Queen are noble is that you can directly see the "Lake in the Island" here-from the top floor of the teaching building, you can even see the silver and tin palaces shining in the sun with your naked eyes.

Here, you can meet the Knight almost every day when you go out.

The academy where Haina is located belongs to the Department of [Individual Tactics]. Although they are extraordinary people, they also need to learn cultural knowledge.

-This is the policy proposed by Her Majesty the Queen to improve the quality of extraordinary talents.

Let the extraordinary become talents with extraordinary power to govern the country, rather than the source of chaos - there is no need to worry about how much profit should be given to the extraordinary to appease them, because they are the pillars of the kingdom.

Because of this, the academic pressure of the Royal Law University is very high.

Iris language, Star Antimony language, Elven language, advanced mathematics, basic theology, modern history, and document writing are general courses that all departments must master.

Specifically for Haina, she also has seven professional courses: "Law", "Law Tactics", "Swordsmanship", "Aerial Riding", "Battlefield Command", "Road Identification", and "Equipment Maintenance and Field Treatment".

In addition, she has to take four more elective courses.

She chose "Applied Jade Gemology", "Anesthesia", "Wine Brewing Production Management" and "Common Animal Disease Prevention and Control".

It seems that she has learned a lot... but in fact, her motivation is very clear and there are traces to follow.

——Haina flexibly used the strong teaching resources of the Royal Law University and the large number of professional books that could be easily taken from the library. She considered that she might be seriously injured or even disabled and unemployed in the future, and learned four courses that were easier to support herself in advance.

But at the same time, she didn't know what she could make money in the future. So she learned four unrelated fields in a haphazard way.

After having the foundation, it would be much easier to make up for it.

At this moment, Haina suddenly shuddered.

She instinctively realized that someone appeared behind her silently.

The extremely strong sense of fear tightened her heart, and her eyes suddenly widened. It was like looking at the strong wind blowing against her, and she took a big breath, but couldn't get any oxygen.

With her nerves tense, she subconsciously grasped the dagger in the sheath——

"——Good morning, Haena."

A loud and powerful female voice sounded: "Hey, don't be afraid. [Put it back]."

With a clang, she pulled out a small section of the dagger and it slipped out of her hand and slid back by itself. It was as if her weapon refused to be pulled out in front of this person.

When Haena heard her voice, she breathed a sigh of relief and slowly loosened her hand.

"Dean Meg..."

How could such a big shot suddenly appear without any movement? It really scared me...

She complained in her heart, turned around, put her right hand on her chest, bowed her head, and saluted her respectfully: "Good morning, Dean Meg."

In front of Haena was a middle-aged woman with silver hair, high cheekbones, and clear wrinkles on her face.

Judging from her skin and appearance alone, she looks to be at least forty or fifty years old, maybe even sixty years old. But her piercing eyes, strong body, and loud voice made her look at least twenty years younger.

The most obvious feature of Senior Meg is her strong and bulging shoulders. Those are strong muscles that even young men who focus on fitness are difficult to possess. They can hold up the obvious bulge in loose clothes.

"Ah ha ha ha ha ha!"

Meg laughed heartily.

Her laughter was hearty and loud, and her voice could be clearly heard even from dozens of meters away: "I knew it - I was shocked, right?

"But you did a good job, Haina! A few months ago, you wouldn't even notice my presence when I put my shoulder on my shoulder. Now I just get close to your back, and you can feel it - this shows how much experience has gained." Months, there is indeed progress!”

This incident can be regarded as a shame for Haina.

A few months ago, she applied to graduate early—because her grades were exceptionally good, she was once full of confidence. The early graduation also alarmed Meg, the head of school, who came to witness Haina's graduation assessment in person.

At that time, just like now, she appeared quietly behind Haina. But Haina didn't notice.

Even when her bow tie was slowly taken off by Senior Meg, she didn't feel it the whole time.

It wasn't that Meg went into stealth, it was that she made Haina's brain "afraid to realize she existed."

The authoritative power of forcibly modifying perceptions is like calling a deer a horse.

But now, at least Haina can sense the danger——

Although Meg is certainly not serious as a school principal, it also shows that she has indeed grown.

After Principal Meg appeared, the number of students around them decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Originally, there were quite a lot of people around Haina, but now there is a huge open space around her.

This is more than just awe for school leaders.

This is especially because the "authoritarian" aura exuding from Principal Meg is strong and obvious. They who are on the same path don't dare to get close.

This old man who looks very energetic is one of the strongest people in the world today.

——The Grand Arbiter, Meg. Deputy Director of the Arbitration Chamber.

He has the supreme privilege of being able to execute the direct bloodline of the royal family.

The reason why he is the "deputy" director... is because in Avalon, the deputy position is stronger than the principal position in a sense - because the principal position has the longest tenure, but the deputy position does not.

Meg has been the deputy director of the Arbitration Hall since twenty years ago. The three-year directorship has been replaced seven times, and each time they are her students.

Even the succession to the throne required Meg to be there to witness it.

After the new king succeeds to the throne, she will swear allegiance to the new king in the third one - the first one is the military minister who controls the army and foreign spy agencies, and the second one is the Knight Commander of the Round Table Hall who also serves as the Privy Council Minister. And the third one is her.

The rest of the royal family will be ranked after sixth.

Just standing next to old Meg makes Haina feel heart palpitations.

It was as if the person standing in front of him was not a kind and generous old lady, but an adult lion very close at hand.

——If you turn around and run away, you may fall. Because the legs will become stiff due to fear.

She once intervened in a war solely by herself.

It was a short war, the "Ten Days War" between the Kingdom of Avalon and the Kingdom of Iris due to border frictions twenty years ago.

When Meg arrived on the battlefield, she told the soldiers on both sides to sheath their swords and point their guns at the ground with just one sentence.

She carved a "peace boundary" in the border area - no one who considered themselves a "soldier" could cross the boundary. When you get close to the limit, you will feel great fear, and you will be so shocked that you can't move at all.

That boundary existed for four years before gradually fading. Now that relations between the two countries have improved, it has become a well-known attraction to commemorate the short war that only lasted ten days.

Haina is certainly not her old man's student. Because she is not qualified yet.

Sherlock was once invited to become her disciple - but he refused.

And the old lady didn't force it. But since then, she has stopped recruiting new students.

It is said that she has recently begun preparing to retire from the position of deputy director of the Arbitration Hall. This is a secret that everyone at Wangli Law University knows - because the new deputy director will be their young president.

The principal was also a student of Meg's principal.

"It was in the newspapers, wasn't it?"

Old Meg looked at her, raised her eyes, and asked with unclear meaning.

Haina was extremely nervous, lowering her head and not daring to raise it: "Yes, I'm very lucky...I didn't actually do anything, mainly Mr. Aiwass..."

"—Oh, 'Sir'."

The old lady smiled and repeated: "You respect him very much."

Haina started and held her breath. Don't know how to answer.

"Don't be ashamed, you did the right thing. I heard Yannis tell about him."

Meg's voice was sonorous and powerful, like tightly clenched steel: "'The stronger is more correct.' Whether you are his senior or senior, you are not as good as him in this matter. Then you obey him. command - this is in line with the concept of the authoritarian path."

Hearing this, she relaxed.

Haina was encouraged by being recognized and encouraged by her highly respected teacher. It was as if the world in front of him had brightened up, and his body seemed to have become much lighter.

This even gave her the courage to ask: "Excuse me, Principal Meg... are you here to see me?"

"yes."

Meg smiled frankly: "Isn't it obvious?

"You are a good kid, hardworking and serious. But you are still a bit stupid."

Meg commented on Haina, who graduated a year early and still maintained perfect scores in all subjects, as "a bit stupid".

This made Haina a little frustrated.

She knew she was far behind Sherlock...but she didn't know how talented Sherlock was vertically.

Haina didn't know what kind of talents the seniors and seniors from Sherlock's level onwards were. Because they have all become mid- to high-level officials, their past identity information has been kept confidential.

But looking at her appearance, the corners of Meg's lips slightly raised, and she gave a rare affirmation: "But, we kings who walk in the path of authority don't have to be smart.

"Let me ask you - you know the Pelican Bar is closed, right."

"……Yes."

It's normal if it's turned off.

Haina said in her heart.

That was, after all, the gathering place of the Noble Red Order, a group of illegal supernatural beings - they couldn't get together to talk about iris literature and elven poetry, right?

"Did you know that your roommates often go to the Pelican Bar?"

Headmaster Meg raised her eyebrows when she saw Haina who was suddenly startled, and added: "[Tell the truth]."

"——Not often," Haina blurted out, "but they did go there."

She realized almost immediately that she had leaked the secret.

But in front of those on the authoritarian path, she has no secrets.

"Have you been invited?"

"I was invited once, but I declined. They didn't invite me after that."

"oh."

Meg said with deep meaning: "No wonder you didn't know."

Do not know what is this?

"Do you know what they went to the Pelican Bar to buy?"

"buy what……?"

Haina was a little confused.

"They went to buy cosmetics."

Meg gave the answer directly: "Powerful cosmetics made by the alchemists of the Kingdom of Star Antimony. It can make the skin of people in their thirties and forties look as supple and supple as teenagers - although let me tell you, they She is far from the age to use such things, but it is normal for girls to be interested in them.

"Star Antimony's Beauty Potion is also selling very well. Although the side effects of the Beauty Potion can cause physical weakness and significant muscle loss - I have repeatedly warned that some of my students will still use it."

……ah.

Haina suddenly realized.

——She said, something is wrong!

She had thought before that the skin of all the ladies in the capital was so tender and fair, as if they could squeeze out water. Obviously they both belong to the "Individual Tactics Department" and have practiced swordsmanship and riding skills, but there are no calluses on their hands and the skin of their thighs is not abraded at all. The waist is slender and soft, with no trace of muscle at all.

Before, Haina thought it was because of their talents, and she also felt inferior for a while - she felt that she was too earthy, her body looked like that of someone doing farm work, and it was too easy to gain muscle.

Now she finally knows.

It turns out they took medicine!

"——Do you have anything to say?"

At this moment, Principal Meg looked over with a deep look, interrupting Haina's thinking.

Her mind suddenly went blank.

I...what did I just want to say?

But the next moment, she vaguely caught something.

"The alchemy products of the Star Antimony Kingdom should be illegal, right?"

She murmured: "That's contraband...I understand, that's why they didn't invite me again and again. Because they knew I had no money.

"...No, isn't the Pelican Bar the gathering place of the Noble Red Society? Why can the Pelican Bar sell smuggled alchemy products?"

She was suddenly excited and reacted: "The Noble Red Society is related to the smuggling case?

"No, that's not right - are they related to Star Antimony officials?"

"Not too stupid."

Old Meg nodded with satisfaction.

Finally, she got down to business: "Our spies in Xing Antimony sent back important information——"

"Wait, wait, am I qualified to know this..."

Haina keenly sensed the strong sense of crisis and hesitantly said to herself in a voice that only she could hear clearly.

Meg completely ignored Haina, who suddenly became timid again, and said to herself: "A batch of high-power, small-sized portable alchemy bombs were transported to Avalon. The target should be the Glass Island.

"The power of this batch of bombs is enough to blow up the entire Red Queen District. We have never found traces of the inflow of these bombs before. But starting from the day before yesterday, when investigating the Pelican Bar... the Inspectorate found that these bombs It was piped in through the Pelican Bar.

"The contribution you have made is much greater than you think."

Meg's eyes were as sharp as a hawk.

She laughed boldly and patted Haina on the shoulder: "So, I'll give you a chance.

"Both the Supervisory Office and the Arbitration Hall are investigating this matter. Originally, your Supervisory Bureau had no access to this kind of thing. But whether it is you, Sherlock or that Aiwass, they all interest me.

"I'll give you temporary authorization to go and investigate - if your director has anything to say, just ask him to come to me. Bring any consultants you want to invite, and give him whatever you want, and I'll reimburse you; if you can't find out, It's okay, I'll take care of it.

"I want to see if I made a mistake a few months ago. If you can find out important information before we solve the problem..."

Meg said meaningfully: "I still have a position for my last disciple... I can leave it to you."
