I rely on myself

Chapter 308: Lin Yuan is under suspicion
While Lin Yuan and Brunhilde were talking about the underground buildings of the academy, someone else in the academy was discussing something about Brunhilde.

"…This is the information I have found out. I am sorry, Dean, that I let the invader escape because of my lack of ability."

It was Magnus who said this, and the person he reported to in a respectful tone was the owner of the Royal Academy of Ingenuity, the president, Edward Rutherford.

“…………Hmm…………”

After listening to Magnus' report, the dean did not respond immediately, but fell into deep thought. Seeing this, Magnus did not say anything, but just stood there waiting.

After a long while, the dean came back to his senses from his thoughts, and found that Magnus was still waiting for his response, so he quickly spoke.

"Thank you for your hard work, Magnus. Although it is a pity that the invader escaped, fortunately nothing happened to you. After all, you are a rare talent for our school, so there is no need to mind it."

Unexpectedly, the dean did not blame Magnus for not catching the intruder. Instead, he valued Magnus himself more.

Magnus's face was very calm, as if he didn't hear the dean's words of praise. However, the dean himself didn't notice this. After exchanging a few more words with Magnus, he let him go back to rest.

The dean watched Magnus leave his office without looking away. Instead, he waited for a long while before suddenly speaking in a cold tone that was in stark contrast to his previous enthusiasm.

"...Did you say that the intruder's escape was caused by Magnus on purpose?"

These cold words echoed in the office where only the dean was. For a moment, the room felt as cold as a snowy day in December.

At this time, a calm voice sounded, responding to the dean's question.

"It shouldn't be. Doing such a thing would not benefit Magnus in any way. He is a smart man and would not do such a stupid thing. And according to what he said and the intelligence we collected later, the invaders are indeed not ordinary people as he said. If more of them hadn't escaped, Magnus himself would have been in danger of his life. So it shouldn't be his business."

The person who said this gradually walked out from the shadows on the side. It was none other than Percival, the Dean of Medicine and Chief Professor of the college.

Seeing him coming, the dean's originally indifferent expression changed and became calm, and Percival did not care about the atmosphere just now, he just pulled out a chair and sat down.

This scene shows how good the relationship between the two is, at least better than that of Magnus, the trainee who shows that he is valued.

After listening to Percival's explanation, the dean had to admit that it was indeed the case and let the matter go. However, he would not let the invader off so easily.

"So who do you think the intruder is from?"

Hearing the Dean's question, Percival did not answer immediately. Instead, he thought for a moment before answering seriously: "According to the known information, the intruder is alone, without any other accomplices. In this case, it should not be an automaton, but we all know that this is not necessarily the case. As far as we know, there are several ways to make an automaton act alone, but each has its own shortcomings."

Hearing this, the dean nodded in agreement and signaled with his eyes to continue. Percival did not care and continued, "And considering the strength shown by the intruder, the other party should be an automaton, and a being very close to divine ingenuity. There is only one such being in our academy, you should have noticed it."

Although there was not much evidence and a large part of the content was speculation, Percival's tone was very firm, as if he had seen some truth.

After listening to Percival's words, a figure emerged in the dean's mind. That was a person with such extraordinary talent that even he had to admire him.

"…Are you talking about "The Legend Reappears"? "

Some hesitant words came out of the dean's mouth.

Indeed, in the memory of the dean himself, there is only one kind of puppet that can exert amazing power even when the puppet master is not around, and that is the heroic spirit puppet made by the Qing Dynasty student Lin Yuan.

There is also relevant information in the recent Demon Eater incident. Among them, Professor Kimberly, who was an eyewitness, Akabane Raijin, who was an eyewitness of the incident, and Charlotte Biraud all gave relevant testimonies.

The one who defeated Felix and his puppets head-on was none other than Karna, a heroic puppet. Even without the magic power provided by the puppet master, he was able to display powerful combat power, and in the end he even burst out with amazing magic power on his own.

According to the recollections of those who witnessed it, it was an enormous magical power that they could not produce even at the cost of their own lives.

Now after what Percival said, the dean also felt that the invader did look like a heroic spirit doll, but there was a problem here.

"Although they are indeed very similar, there are still differences between the two. The heroic spirit puppets of the Legend Reappearance are indeed very powerful and very strange, but what can be 100% confirmed is that all of its puppets are made of inorganic and mechanical structures. The Legend Reappearance himself also hates methods related to living experiments. This has been confirmed for a long time."

After all, although Lin Yuan has been very well-behaved most of the time since last semester, he has also done some shocking things, including the incident at God's Workshop.

Although Lin Yuan tried to cover up this, don't underestimate the methods of others, especially Edward Rutherford, the owner of this academy.

Lin Yuan's use of space transfer magic to go out might not have been noticed once or twice, but if it happened more than once, he would naturally be discovered.

However, the dean had no intention of intervening in the matter and was just watching from the sidelines. Thanks to this, some records of Lin Yuan's personality and behavior were collected, and thus some of his thoughts and hobbies were learned.

One of them was that he hated live experiments very much. Although the dean was also very surprised when he knew this, after all, a scholar and magician who could be said to pursue the truth would hate live experiments.

In a sense, this can be considered outrageous, and what is even more outrageous is that the other party has achieved results that most people cannot achieve.

The dean could only sigh and say, this is what is called being gifted and willful.
