Mr. Lin, You use Ice Knight magic, isnt that right?

After dinner, as soon as the servants had taken away the cutlery Musred spoke.

Its a really straightforward question, but something a normal person would deny.

Yes. Is something wrong?

Unfortunately I am not an ordinary person.

As expectedAlthough the old mans intelligence network cant find where Mr. Lin came from but it definitely has something to do with the Wood Family in the Kingdom of Mitchell.

My identity bothers you.

I wouldnt go that far. I also ask that Mr. Lin not mind it. A full investigation is necessary for the safety of our children.

Did you know that I was the one who destroyed all of the attack airships you sent out? If you knew that then you wouldnt be speaking to me so calmly, right?

But who knows, maybe they have high mental strength.

But you didnt just come over to ask me about my life? Wouldnt there be nothing that would benefit you in that?

Unlike what people would expect, Mr. Lin likes speedy conversations. Then I will stop with the excessive conversation. I would like to ask you to give special lessons to Hart so that his Water Magic Knight skills will rapidly improve.

This isyou obviously dont need to make any special requests. As Harts teacher I naturally want to see him become stronger. If that wasnt the case then Hart wouldnt have made any progress as a Water Magic Knight, now would he?

As I said that I looked at Hart.

As our eyes met, he looked away awkwardly. Even though he is the subject of the conversation, he didnt dare to speak with his father here.

An idea suddenly flashed in my mind to take him out of the familys control, but I also thought that it was too much trouble.

But it seems that things arent as simple as I thought.

Wtf. World-chan, do you have too much free time? Can I skip this quest? I feel that its too troublesome

But I will accept it since the skill is good. Ill add Oyado and Hart as trainees.

Oyados strange skills that Ive wanted to learn for some time now. For Hart, Water Knight magic sounds good. Ill collect it.

As for Aliyah, do I need to learn those skills? Its completely unnecessary.

Except I dont know how trainees study my skills. Could it be that it improves their insight? If they learn my high magic consumption skill then itll only waste their energy.

Mr. Lin?

I turned my attention back when I heard them speak.

Have you given it some thought? I told you the conditions, let Hart keep learning from you so that he can progress faster. We will naturally be willing to pay for any inconvenience this causes.

This is

I thought about it and smiled.

Its really vulgar to mention money. I happened to have something you could help out with.

Please tell me. By my honor, there must something I can do.

Its simple. There are two children of the Marshall family in my class. My condition is that during my tenure you wont do anything to cause them trouble. I dont want my students to be in danger every single day. To be honest, its a conflict between you people in the older generation, isnt it?

Makes sense. Mr. Lin, Im surprised you made this point. I might not have agreed if you had asked me before, but seeing that you dont seem to hold any prejudice and truly made Hart improve, I believe I can trust you as his teacher. I will agree to this condition. Naturally I will be expecting nothing less that the conditions I outlined earlier. So, Hart, ask your teacher to take care of you.

Un, its no problem at all.

We touched our glasses in a toast and the agreement was sealed.

Its more than I expected. Even without the family interference, the treasure hunt was quite troublesome.

Speaking of the treasure hunt

Yeah, Mr. Kjell, I have something I want to ask. There is a girl in our class called Beatrice. Her arm has a dolls arm attached to it, is that the work of your business?

Oh, youre talking about the Chell Family. It really is rather impressive, but that is not our product. How should I put this, its a doll after all. Even if we can attach a soul to it, but combining the human body and the dolls, well, our family has no such ability to be honest.

When I asked he seemed to be a little embarrassed.

Whats the matter? Is Mr. Lin interested in that?

Not at all. Beatrice is a student in my class now but hasnt come for some time. I think that may have something to do with it.

Haha. It seems that Mr. Lin feels responsible for every student. WellI may know something about that arm.

Oh?

This old man. Just how much does he like to keep people in suspense.

Well, about that.

He said, rubbing his chin.

Youre going to find a surgeon by the name of Michua Menglode. I hear she is in Nightsteel City but is hard to find.

Why does that name sound familiar?
