The Crown Prince’s power was indeed enormous.
Enough for me to know the reason why the other party went through with their plan today of all days.
If it was something that happened within the academy, the investigation alone would take days.
In addition, in order to call and interrogate a master of a merchant guild, they needed to go through numerous procedures.
Operating the plan in front of the Crown Prince was both dangerous and worth it.
Only if that was successful, obviously.
“Is— did my daughter do something . . . ?”
Viscount Rocke, who was called over by the Imperial Knight, was pale.
“I called you because I have some things I want to ask.”
It was right for the dean to investigate based on the procedure, but it was also not a strange picture for the Crown Prince, who had the highest status here, to directly investigate.
There were piles of broken battle gears in front of him.
All the swordsmanship students who volunteered to be the ‘victims’ looked at him with unordinary gazes.
“These are battle gears that the students recently bought from Rocke Merchant Guild.”
“These . . .”
“After checking on them, the composition was made of different materials than when they were described.”
Viscount Rocke shook his head as he heard the Crown Prince’s words.
“Impossible. If we sell this kind of defective product, our guild would lose credibility from long ago. We also received no reports about products that we’ve already delivered to the aristocratic families.”
“There might be no fault with the delivered products, but isn’t there a possibility of a hiccup in the products the students bought with their own money?”
The one who asked with a voice full of doubt was a member of the student council.
Some people nodded as if they agreed.
“It’s a rumor that has been circulating in the academy for a while. It’s not only for the swordsmanship students’ battle gear. Starting from small stationery, there were definitely some good ones, but there were also products too low in quality.”
A thick bundle of papers piled up.
It was a letter of complaint that was collected one by one to this time.
It was a request to investigate the continuous defective products among the products purchased in groups by the academy.
“At first, the defect rate of the items was not high, and most of them were disposable, so we thought it was insignificant.”
“. . .”
“However, as you can see, from what’s organized here, not only is the defect rate high, but the items have become much more diverse.”
Viscount Rocke crumpled his face as he saw the neatly organized chart.
For him, it must be new to his ears.
“But there has been no complaints to the guild.”
“As we have the dignity of the academy, we thought of informing the problem after we investigate this thoroughly.”
However, an episode happened at the sword tournament that was held in front of the Crown Prince.
Now, it had come to a situation where they ‘had no choice’ but to hold the guild to account.
In addition, the credibility of Rocke Merchant Guild had been damaged through public opinion, and the problem of fair play in the tournament was at stake.
They surely plan this out passionately.
I saw Young Lady Mago with a faint smile when our eyes met.
She looked like she was regretting that the situation grew out of her control.
Despite looking so, she didn’t give me any hints, even though the evidence was piling up like they had been preparing for this.
I believed they must have needed a lot of effort and time in order to collect so many items.
That went the same for ‘fabrication’.
“That is nonsense. We do quality checks of the products with the mages we’re contracting. If the product has bad quality from the start, then we won’t sell it.”
Listening to the statement of the frowning Viscount Rocke, the Crown Prince asked slowly while looking at the battle gears on the floor.
“Then, how will you prove it?”
“There’ll be remaining traces of the magic used when we did quality checks. If these are really our products.”
Zen, who got the eye signal from the dean, came forward and reached his hand.
Following the spell he was chanting, mana covered the items.
After the glowing blue light disappeared, the color of the battle gears turned more dull.
Zen, glancing at the things that changed into junk, nodded.
“In the first place, there is no trace of magic on these things. Whether in or after the making process.”
“No way . . .”
Viscount Rockes’ face turned pale white.
Zen didn’t stop there.
“I think they played a trick by lowering the purity of the sword and mixing impurities inside.”
“We didn’t do that, Your Imperial Highness.”
As though he had a headache, the Crown Prince massaged his temporal at the shout that sounded desperate.
“For now, if these aren’t made in Rocke Guild, can we find out where these defective products come from?”
“We can explain that, Your Imperial Highness.”
A male student with a soft voice came forward before the Crown Prince.
His shoulders, filled with the desire to uncover the students’ problems and solve them justly, soared high.
Suddenly, I was curious.
How many people who already knew and partake in this plan, also how many people who knew nothing but still were used in this plan?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
