After confirming the time, ‘Negary’ left the library.
To ensure that he didn’t draw the animosity of the seven Gods, Great Magus Stim Allenz did not drape his power over every bit of land in this region, which gave ‘Negary’ a lot of room to act.
〖 The timetable… 〗’Negary’ took out the timetable of classes that auditing students could participate in.
The Mobis Institute offered a selective course for its students, every weekend, the institute’s professors would open several classes for the same or different subjects, and the students of the institute would be allowed to choose their classes following their own schedule.
Because three professors were recently killed, the institute’s curriculum had also been slightly altered. ‘Negary’ skipped through the names and subjects of several professors, since he was an auditing student, the number of subjects he was able to participate in was limited.
〖 Economics, Management, Mining… Biology 〗flipping to the very last page of the timetable, ‘Negary’ found the newly established subject, Biology. This subject was described as the research of various creatures, studying their characteristics, then applying the results into medicine, food, leather, and other domains.
And the one responsible for this subject was the institute’s Dean.
〖 So blatantly? 〗as ‘Negary’ walked on the path leading from the library back to his dorm, he couldn’t help but shake his head.
〖 Has the Great Magus completely taken the side of Life Bearer, or was there some sort of other changes that led to someone under his rule having the audacity to research ‘life’? 〗
〖 If that’s the case, it’s very possible that the institute’s recent changes came from this Dean himself 〗
While recalling that foul power, ‘Negary’ returned to his dorm room, easily discovering his bag that hadn’t been closed, as well as the traces of someone stepping on his window sill. In fact, there was a very clear footprint on the flowerbed outside.
〖 This kind of person, let’s see if he can grasp the opportunity I provided because if not, he would fall into the abyss sooner or later 〗’Negary’ sighed.
Roger certainly was talented with his spirit sense, but if he continued to immerse in the sense of superiority provided by this talent and slacked on his daily training, then he was as good as crippled.
〖 Perhaps, he will require a bit of urging as well 〗’Negary’ shook his head. That would have to depend on the situation, after all, he was currently in the middle of a covert operation, so he wouldn’t go looking for trouble. Of course, if a chance arose, he wouldn’t pass up on it either.
〖 More careful planning must be made for follow-up operations 〗’Negary’ thought of the information he had dug up during this period of time: 〖 The Hermit Order’s side should also act again soon; they don’t have much time 〗
…
At another location, Roger and his Abnormality Elimination Squad had gathered at their meeting place, a half-abandoned classroom. According to the Mobis Institute’s myths, a student once obtained a Grimoire from an unknown place, which he opened during one of his lessons in this room and released the demon inside. That demon harvested a total of 18 lives including that student’s life during that incident.
According to the myth, the classroom became abandoned from that point on, but that demon still lingered here, biding his time waiting for an opportunity to deceive any passing students, trapping them inside this room as well.
However, there was a reason why it was called a myth. While this classroom was indeed abandoned and in disrepair, there had never been any reported cases of missing people.
“Alright, there are only several places in the institute left that we haven’t investigated, once we’re finished, we’ll definitely find out the true cause of the recent abnormalities” Roger discussed the several potential abnormal spots they had investigated today, many of which actually contained abnormalities.
For example, after sawing out a certain 4-meter-long pipeline inside the institute, they discovered an eerie cylinder of flesh that encased a single medallion, which confirmed that the cylinder of flesh was actually a missing security guard.
Following the internal scratches of the pipeline, they discovered that the security guard disappeared inside at the rooftop water drains of a certain building, where his uniform was found violently ripped apart.
Afterwards, through the security guard’s muddy shoes, they found that he had travelled through the underground sewers. They finally made up their minds to make a trip to the underground sewers at dawn the next day.
“Landier, you’re familiar with the institute’s knight circle, borrow some weapons from them” because of his spirit sense, Roger became the leader of the group. After delegating the various tasks for the following day, he told everyone to go back to rest.
After everyone had left, Roger sighed and asked: “Senior Field, are there really going to be no issues with this arrangement?”
「 Of course there wouldn’t be, you have to trust me 」a disembodied voice slowly sounded. From the ceiling of the classroom, a lot of black matter suddenly manifested, slowly gathered, then formed into the shape of a man hanging upside-down. His upper half was completely bare without any clothes or hair, his arms formed an X in front of his chest.
「 When I defeated the demon, only a little bit of my spirit remained and became trapped here, so I’m helpless to do anything about the occurrences of the institute, providing you with this little bit of help is the only thing I can do 」the upside-down half-naked man slowly continued.
From his words, one could infer that the myths regarding this classroom weren’t completely made up.
“That much is more than enough!” Roger hurriedly said.
When he first discovered senior Field who resided in this classroom, he had thought that Field was the demon in the myths, it was only afterwards that he found out that senior Field was the same as him, a Mystic with spirit sense.
In the past, Field was the first to discover the demon hidden in the institute. Through various means, he found the demon’s host, then used the magical ritual he found within the Grand Library to defeat the demon; but his body was also killed in the process, leading to the spirit that formed from what remained of him to be sealed within this classroom.
Senior Field had taught Roger how to use his spirit senses, as well as given him various suggestions and hints. It was also thanks to that that the Abnormality Elimination Squad was able to achieve so much so quickly.
However, Roger didn’t want to admit that. Being as arrogant as he was, he believed that his abilities were the true reason for this success. Senior Field might be respectable, but the only thing he had left was a bit of spirit that was trapped inside this classroom, other than himself, no one else could even communicate with Field.
“Furthermore, I also obtained this today” Roger took out the bottle of corpse oil in a boastful manner. This was a spoil of war that he obtained himself, completely unrelated to senior Field, which made him even more triumphant about it.
Sure enough, the black matter that tied Field to the ceiling moved to lower his body, a pair of brightly glowing eyes looked carefully at the corpse oil, then asked emotionally:
「 Where did you find such a thing? 」
“I got it from a student who didn’t understand anything about it” Roger instinctively lied. While under his perspective, he was justified in taking this object; but feeling justified about it was one thing, and actually admitting it was another thing.
If senior Field inferred his words incorrectly, he would be no better than a thief!
How could an ally of justice like himself possibly be a thief?
