Who is Vito?

Gawain was taken aback. Who was this? What did his leave request have to do with Leo's change of attitude?

Suddenly, thinking of the three faculty members, Gao Wen roughly understood what was going on.

If I'm not mistaken, among the three, besides the assistant Luo, there's another person named Vito.

Seeing Gawain's serious expression, as if he really didn't know who Vito was, Leo became even more terrified. This kid's family education was something else!

There are two main reasons why Leo's attitude changed so quickly.

First, having witnessed Gao Wen's talent and knowing his potential was limitless, I stopped myself in time; second, the HR department suddenly started recruiting without any explanation, and even said that Vito and two other faculty members had taken leave to go back to their hometowns.

It's just a leave request, I can just wait, what kind of recruitment is this?

It's obvious that Vito and his two companions will be on leave for a long time; the school doesn't want to wait for them to return to work.

Leo wasn't stupid. He knew who Vito and the other two were working for, guessed that they had attacked Gawain at school, and also knew that the school's arrangement meant they weren't going to pursue the matter.

Gao Wen will not be prosecuted for murder on campus!

After analysis, a conclusion was reached.

Gawain killed three officially certified mage-level faculty members and managed to destroy the evidence. Alternatively, Vito and his two companions were caught in the act by a teacher at the school, who then suppressed the incident and eliminated any future problems.

There's no such thing as a coincidence that they bumped into each other. There's only one truth: the school's higher-ups had been keeping an eye on Gao Wen, and Vito and his two companions were killed before they could even make a move.

Whether it was Gao Wen's own outstanding abilities or his amazing family background that forced the school to treat him specially, it was not something Leo wanted to face. He couldn't sleep all night and decisively bowed his head and apologized.

Leo didn't voice these thoughts, but Gawain deduced a deeper meaning from the 'recruitment' information: the school already knew about the assassination in the library and had taken steps to handle the aftermath.

As expected of the Royal Magic University, he knew this wouldn't be so easy to get away with.

"Never mind, it doesn't matter who Vito is."

Gawain shook his head, unwilling to give up on the series of quests and leave: "Teacher Leo, actually I quite like the previous misunderstanding. As you know, I have a family background in magic, and I completed the magic studies arranged by my family before entering the school. My strength is a bit stronger than the other freshmen."

Not just some, I could take on ten of them without breaking a sweat.

Leo didn't understand what Gawain was talking about, and smiled sheepishly: "That's true. Your teacher is also impressed by your abilities."

"Because I'm a bit stronger, practicing with my classmates doesn't help me improve. I hope the teacher will continue to arrange for older physical education students. Don't worry, my body can handle it."

Their bodies can't take it!

"Gao Wen, I'm willing to help you with your academic needs, but I can't make that decision."

Leo smiled wryly, "I'm a freshman mentor, and the sports students I can find are all sophomores. In essence, they're still just magic apprentices..."

"What about junior year?"

"Third-year students won't do. You look down on the ordinary ones, and the extraordinary ones are already formal mages. I, as their teacher, have no right to order them around as your sparring partners."

Leo was helpless. He had limited resources. The athletes like Sterry were all sophomores, above magic apprentices but not yet fully qualified mages. The junior mages were different; they no longer needed him as a novice mentor, so there was no reason for them to give him face.

His academic credits don't apply there.

"Is there absolutely no way?"

"No, these are the elites trained by the school, and they are all preparing for the knight rankings..."

At this point, Leo's eyes lit up: "It's not like there's no way at all, Gawain. I can't arrange for them to be your sparring partners, but I can have you go over and be their sparring partners... Uh, how about this?"

Nobles value their reputation above all else. Even impoverished nobles will take out loans to appear wealthy, all for the sake of their family's glory. Leo was terrified that if he said the wrong thing, the hard-won relationship would be strained again.

"It doesn't matter. I'm a pragmatist. As long as I have something to practice on, that's fine." Gao Wen got the task he wanted and readily agreed.

Starting today, he will turn the entire Royal Magic University into his pool of experience!

Having dealt with Gawain, Leo felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders. He promised to bring Gawain good news during the next PE class and then went to contact someone.

In the end, Gao Wen still accepted the money.

He didn't care much about the money, but school wasn't about fighting and killing; it was about personal relationships and social interactions. If he didn't accept the money, Leo wouldn't feel at ease.

Before parting, Gao Wen casually asked if there was any way to allow students from the South District to freely enter and exit the other districts.

Leo shook his head; he teaches physical education.

……

That night.

Dormitory, basic magic tutoring class.

Gao Wen finished today's lesson in the blink of an eye, which surprised Buber so much that his forehead was practically dripping with oil, and he lamented that five hundred dollars was really too hard to earn.

“Teacher, the South District library won’t last long under my supervision. I’d like to visit the other districts, but my student ID doesn’t allow it. Do you have any good ideas?” Gao Wen posed the question to Buber. As a teacher himself, Buber, with his strong scholarly demeanor, was undoubtedly more outstanding.

This question stumped Buber, and after a moment he said, "Direct entry and exit is definitely impossible. The Royal Magic University has an unwritten rule that male students should not die and female students should not give birth. This rule can reduce the probability of life and death to a certain extent."

"but?"

"However, we don't necessarily have to confront problems head-on; we can take a different approach."

"I think so too."

Gao Wen was overjoyed. This was what he had always told the AI ​​assistant: to be flexible.

"Gao Wen, did you know that the school has many clubs to enrich students' spare time?"

"I don't know, I was a month late, and nobody told me about this."

“Members of the news agency are responsible for publishing the school newspaper and have the right to freely enter and exit all campuses,” Buber stated, adding that the news agency could even roam freely within the East Campus theological Seminary.

As for how to join the news agency, they probably aren't hiring anymore; Gao Wen will have to figure it out himself.

Gao Wen nodded. The journalism department was located in the philosophy department, both in the south campus. He could try his luck there first. If it didn't work, he could pay more. He had never failed with this tactic.

Being objective and fair, without exaggeration or bias, this tactic also works on him.

"By the way, teacher, have you ever heard of a family related to stars?"

"Stars..."

Buber paused for a moment, trying to search his memory: "I have heard of one, no, two."

Chapter 36 The Star Family, The Sword of Stars

“Gawain, do you know the Golden Duke, ‘Light Chaser’ Ochi Finn?” Buper asked.

"I've seen it in the library's collection. He's a first-class golden duke, a hereditary title. His name is engraved on the school gate..."

Gawain didn't know anything about the Light Chaser, though he had heard of them before his transmigration. But that wasn't a big deal. The AI ​​assistant extracted keywords from the database and pulled up all the information about this Golden Duke in a second.

"To tell the story of Duke Finn's legendary life, we must go back two hundred years. At that time, there was no Kingdom of Gold, and several countries, including the neighboring Kingdom of Vis, were struggling under the oppressive rule of the Kingdom of Eternal Day and the Kingdom of Eternal Night..."

The kingdoms of Eternal Day and Eternal Night are typical church-states, where divine authority reigns supreme, and the king needs to be crowned by the pope to have legitimacy for his royal power.

One is eternal day, the other is eternal night; you can tell they don't get along just from their names.

Indeed, after the split of the universal church, numerous sects emerged on the universal continent. They shared the texts of universal theology, but each had its own translation process. Because they did not use the same methods, they regarded each other as heretics.

The Church of Eternal Day revered the Sun God, while the Church of Eternal Night revered the Moon God. One worshipped the day, and the other worshipped the night. They also happened to be neighbors, and their fighting was incredibly fierce.

With these two powerful fathers constantly causing trouble, one can only imagine how difficult life must be for ordinary people.

Life is tough for ordinary people, but it's even tougher for nobles. After all, ordinary people can simply throw themselves into the battlefield and be cannon fodder, while the nobles in the rear have a lot more to consider.

Damn it, even the landlords have no surplus grain!

If these two living fathers keep causing trouble, we'll all die!

Overnight, a torrential rainstorm struck, and white foxes roamed the land. "Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?"

The rebels included not only wealthy nobles but also rationalists who were already dissatisfied with the church's fanatical doctrines. One had money and supplies, the other knew the recipes, and the two sides quickly reached an agreement. Sacrificial rituals were performed one after another, truly making magicians a production line.

As the times create heroes, heroes create the times. With the two major churches' homelands on fire, the entire Kingdom of Eternal Day and Kingdom of Eternal Night were thrown into chaos.

Ochi Finn rose to prominence during this time. He was a believer in the Church of Eternal Day, a radical within the conservative faction, and shone brightly on the battlefield, earning the nickname "The Light Chaser".

After the establishment of the Kingdom of Jinyao, the first king bestowed great titles upon his ministers, fulfilling the promises he had made years earlier.

Ochi Fein is the highest-ranking Golden Duke, a hereditary title, and the Fein family is also known as the Light Chaser Family. Because the family produces many geniuses, their brilliance shines like a constellation of stars, earning them the reputation of the Star Family.

Unfortunately, fate is cruel to the talented. At the moment he achieved legendary status, Ochi Fein fell silently and suddenly, without even saying goodbye.

His death caused the once-glorious Star Clan to decline abruptly, and its growth came to an abrupt halt. Members of the family bloodline were as if cursed, with few able to live to the age of thirty.

Whether it was a curse or because his achievements overshadowed the emperor, arousing the suspicion of successive kings and leading to the continuous assassination of his family members, the gossip section is abuzz with speculation.

Later, in order to find a way to break the curse, the Finn family moved to the Emerald Province on the border, or rather, to avoid suspicion and assassination, they deliberately moved away from the center of power.

"Teacher, do you think it's a curse or an assassination attempt?"

Gawain raised an eyebrow. The strange curse sounded a lot like a genetic disease, but the information on the Finn family only showed that they died young, and he had never heard of any of them being unable to learn magic.

Whether he, the Son of the Stars, comes from the Star Clan is still uncertain.

“It must be a curse,” Buper offered his answer.

"Why? What are the teacher's reasons?"

"The story of the king killing his meritorious officials has always been the most widely accepted one. Some of it is true, and some is pure rumor. At that time, the country had just been established, the political situation was unstable, and there were constant religious conflicts. His Majesty the King needed the Star Family. Even if he had to kill them, he would have to wait until the country was stable."

Buber's reasoning was sound: "Furthermore, if it were an assassination, the Finn family could easily deal with it by using illegitimate children..."

As long as I give birth quickly and in large numbers, the king won't be able to kill me all at once.

The illegitimate children were transported in vans one after another, then randomly distributed among the common people. Even the king couldn't possibly find them all. Based on this, if even one illegitimate child lived past thirty, the curse theory would be disproven, and it could only be the king's doing.

It seems the Fein family must have tried the illegitimate child wholesale method to prove the king's innocence and that no one was sent to assassinate him. The Star Family's inability to live past thirty is truly a curse.

"Teacher, is it possible that the king's assassination method was a curse?"

"..."

What a novel idea! Teacher, how come I didn't think of that!

Buber rolled his eyes. He had already analyzed it before. His Majesty the King at the time had no reason to curse the Finn family. It must have been done by someone else or some force.

For example, the two churches, Eternal Day and Eternal Night, had hysterical losers with strong motives.

"Now let's talk about the second figure related to the stars, 'Dawn Comet', 'Sword of the Stars', Pope Allon of the Church of Dawn," Buber continued.

The word "stars" carries a grand meaning, and the people or families associated with it cannot be mediocre. If Ochi Fein was a legendary figure from two hundred years ago, then Alron is a living legend with enormous influence, holding a prominent position across the entire continent.
