In a passageway in the Magic School Academy, there was a door that was so big.
The door is where the School Board is located and in it, stands 5 adults who are considered the highest in regulating the school.
“So apparently. We are also aware of this as you might expect. But, we can't just cancel the entrance exam for this problem” said one of the elders
He was the principal as well as the supreme leader of the Magic School Academy. Another supreme authority besides the leader in the kingdom, Master Dresden Heidelberg.
“Of course we understand and understand that, Heidelberg-sama. We also understand that the purpose of the school opening the entrance exam with this particular criterion is to make this place another strongest strength and defense” Lucas said
“Duke Xelhanien is right. The black magic organization that kidnapped innocent citizens must have planned a coup movement or attempted overthrow of the kingdom and academy”
Mark Vermillion who had taken out his Artifact, was holding a large scythe with fiery red eyes and beneath it was the corpse of the beastman he had obtained.
“About these souvenirs I brought, would you like to flap? If handed over to me, I'll just make him my collection”
“In addition, you also know that my task is not easy. I'm just worried that [Dark Sacrifice] will be active remotely like I reported earlier”
The board started to think for a moment. One of them said, “We will research the magic and the trigger. Can the Marquis entrust this to us?”
“Good. But before that, I want to make sure something”
“What is it?”
Mark did not hesitate to aim the large scythe in his hand towards the five councillors with those fiery red eyes. The view was so cold and intimidating.
“From the explanations and plans of those who tried to commit large-scale crimes, I want to make sure that no insider helps. Moreover, the classmate of the School Board who is the leader here”
“Marquis Vermillion! That's too little! Even if you are–”
“Noble status and anything related to the Vermillion Family is not important to me”
“Marquis!!” the other board members looked a little emotional
But it seems that the one who unsheathed the weapon looks relaxed and fine.
“Do not worry. Even you as the School Board know that only I am recognized as the owner of Artifact”
“I just hate dealing with insiders who are traitors. If anyone wants to admit that ‘dia is a traitor’, then now is the right time”
Mark's words seemed like a challenge to everyone there. He only made sure that there were no traitors from within, but his ways were quite bold.
Master Dresden simply smiled hearing that daring challenge.
“Ahaha, thanks for the attractive offer. But it seems that none of us are traitors here, Marquis”
“So. It seems that I was a little exaggerated” Mark lowered his scythe but there was no apology from his mouth
It shows that Mark is still wary of that supreme authority.
Rexa who had been quiet from the beginning was just listening. One of the council members asked him.
“Rexa-sama, is there anything else you would like to say about this? Because according to testimony, your fiancee's family is one of the alleged powerful perpetrators for now”
Mark looked at Rexa who was standing behind him. Lucas also seemed to be just looking towards the School Board without taking his eyes off the slightest.
“I..I intend to meet Earl Midford directly for personal matters before anything like this. Perhaps, I will go there as well to take care of this as another major destination” said Rexa
Master Dresden seems not too sure about it.
“I see your point. But if you don't mind, your personal affairs with this great affair need not be attributed. In addition, it is likely that Lady Midford who is in this school is not involved with the thing that Earl” does
“I understand. Then, allow me to take care of my personal affairs as soon as possible”
“Good. For all matters concerning the Magic Council members will be fully handed over to your leader. We will do as much as possible guarding and defense for the entire region”
“Thank you very much, Master”
The three of them came out of the room and left a long strand of council members in the room.
“Haaa~young people today really make old people like us get heart attacks faster. Since when did they grow up to be such menacing kids?” said one of the council members
“But, the information from the Marquis is so useful. In a short time, the culprit could be known and again, he brought real evidence. That's awesome!”
Master Dresden fell silent with a serious expression. One of the members asked him.
“What's up, Master?”
“I just thought could it be that the other perpetrators have a grudge against the royal family? In the past, what events have we forgotten so far?”
“We may have forgotten something important and by making use of one of the noble families, they planned all these things”
“Shadow ghoul is not an easy monster to call. And the more humans sacrificed to call him, the stronger the monster”
The leader has many things that are still a big question for him.
“Master, obviously this is an attempt to threaten innocent citizens in order to bring down the kingdom and kita” said one member
“In addition, according to the testimony of Marquis Vermillion just now, they were eyeing the Artifact that was in this place and Duke Xelhanien himself. Isn't the Magic Council in danger?”
“.....” everyone is silent
“It seems that we must look into history and find out the source of the darkness that threatens this country. I see the dark beginning is coming”
As if something had been drowning for a long time, it might be the answer that has been sought.

In the hallway of the corridor, Lucas and Rexa and Mark walked over while discussing important matters as they discussed in the School Board room.
“Your sentence as always, Mark” Lucas said
“That's a natural thing. You gave me the privilege of doing everything I love. In addition, without threatening even though it will remain ketauan”
“Once” Lucas stops. He looked towards the other two. “So what do you think? The School Board also appears to have a grey view of the perpetrator's motives. And we ourselves still have to investigate the other parties involved”
Mark doesn't seem to care much about the previous discussion.
“I don't need to listen to the opinions of those parents. Now I am more interested in the words of Rexa”
Mark looked at Rexa with a serious look.
“You said you wanted to settle personal affairs with the traitor. What does it mean?”
“I intend to cancel my engagement with Misha”
“Hmm. Good decision”
“But, I think you should come with me”
“That's your personal business, Rexa” Lucas replied
“The betrothal issue is my business, but don't you feel that it's possible that the Midford residence has been kept a secret related to this incident?”
“....” Lucas was silent
“I understand that personal matters with what is happening now should not be linked. However, I still think that we should find out directly”
“I agree. Before returning to this place, I did intend to go straight to the place of that traitor. If you don't remember I'll be one of the testers tomorrow, I probably won't be back now and acting alone”
Lucas remained silent. He's still thinking about it.
“When are you going there?”
“One day after entrance exam”
“I understand. The three of us will go to Earl Midford without an official letter. Consider it a surprise”
