Roaring Roaring-

“what?”

“What’s going on?”

“They are knights.”

“Who are you here to catch? The dean is there too?”

The sight of knights flocking to the academy aroused the students’ curiosity.

Moreover, their expressions were very stern, and even the dean was leading them with a stern expression, so it was possible to predict that something unusual would happen.

The place the dean and the knights headed to was the classroom where students were taking classes.

As we had just entered class, the teacher frowned at the article that suddenly burst into the classroom.

“What are you doing?! “Can’t you see we’re in class right now!”

The teacher complained to the knights, but it was the dean who responded.

“I’m sorry during class. “I’m here to take away a student.”

“Why the student! “I don’t even understand why the Dean came with the knights.”

“There was nothing I could do because I was involved in a crime.”

“…Crime? Anyway, it was too much for you to take the child away now! This is the academy. Academy!”

It was okay to take him after class.

The knight spoke in a cold tone to the teacher who said that.

“Why should we waste our time caring for criminals?”

You have to wait another 40 minutes for class to end.

The driver did not want to waste 40 minutes of his time for the human rights of criminals.

“Are you saying you won’t show that much mercy to the student?”

“To you he is a student, to us he is a criminal.”

“After class, I can just call him and take him away…”

“It’s not worth it to criminals. Look at it now. Are you not reflecting at all? Just like this student who couldn’t even imagine it was him.”

“Aaaah! “What are you doing now?!”

The driver walked forward with great strides and violently grabbed a female student by the shoulder.

“Please follow me quietly. criminal.”

“Me, me? “You’re taking me with you?”

If something had bothered him, he would have resigned himself, but the student seemed really aggrieved, as if he had never experienced anything like that.

The teacher, who saw this, tried to fight the driver who was trying to forcefully drag the student away.

But the dean shook his head at the teacher.

‘Don’t stop me.’

‘But Dean!’

‘I told you everything. There will be no violent suppression.’

‘Are you really involved in a crime?’

‘I checked it several times and I’m sure it’s true.’

The teacher’s efforts to stop the knight’s actions subsided due to the dean’s persuasion.

The driver was wary of the teacher, but after seeing that the dean had persuaded him, he focused on the female student.

“Please wake up.”

“Why are you doing this to me?! You must have misunderstood something! “I don’t want to get involved in crime.”

“That will be found out when the investigation is conducted. Please follow me quietly.”

“I said no! It’s a misunderstanding! Why do I commit a crime!? Dean! teacher!! Please stop these people. “He’s a strange person!”

“If you use your abilities, you must subdue them. So don’t use your power and follow me.”

As one of the drivers spoke calmly, the female student didn’t seem to listen at all.

Eventually, two more knights were added and grabbed the female student’s body.

“Ahh! it hurts! “It hurts!”

“At the dean’s earnest request, we are arresting him as humanely as possible.”

“What crime have I committed!! “I don’t know anything!”

He said he couldn’t go on like this because he felt unfair and got irritated and asked me to tell him what I did wrong.

“Ha~ I understand. “Don’t you recognize these people’s faces?”

“… ah.”

The female student’s mouth stopped for a moment when she saw the men in the picture presented by the article.

“Do you feel like following me obediently now?”

“Oh, no. Why is it a sin to know these people? I just… !!”

“Are we going to have to tell you each and every crime here?”

“… !!”

“You’d better think carefully.”

A lot of students around were watching with curious eyes.

It seems that no one is willing to step forward and save the female student.

The female student, whose spirits were broken, had no choice but to comply with the cruel knight’s threats.

“My parents will never stand by for treating me like this.”

It is correct to obediently be taken away and contact the family to ask for their release.

Knowing the reputation of knights who do not show mercy to criminals, I stood up with an expression on my face as if I was deeply offended.

“If you are innocent, I will apologize as politely as I can.”

The driver took the female student who woke up with a still gruff voice.

As I was leaving the academy, I could feel the eyes of students around me looking at me.

It was so humiliating and insulting that I wanted to die.

* * *

Crack-crack-

‘What were those people arrested for? Was he originally a wanted person?! You almost worked together without even knowing he was a criminal, right? It worked out better. I should take this opportunity and work with more qualified people.’

He was shamefully captured at the academy and brought to the security guard.

I cried because I was embarrassed and unfair, but I held it back.

Tears were proof of weakness, and I didn’t want them to see that.

‘I will definitely get revenge!’

The men in the picture who caused this situation will not be left alone, and the knight who created this humiliating memory will also be made to pay for his sins.

Moreover, they are bad guys who even bite people who haven’t even committed a crime yet, so it’s worth it.

Besides that.

‘How long on earth do I have to stay here?’

Isn’t the interrogation room a good place?

It was a dark, unpleasant space, and the chairs were uncomfortable, so I got very annoyed.

“Please proceed quickly!! “How long do I have to wait?”

I wanted to get out of this space as quickly as possible.

I am not the person to be in a place like this.

“let’s begin.”

No matter how much I protested, the drivers did not listen.

Finally, after a long time, the article came in and the investigation began.

As soon as the investigation began, the first thing the driver brought out was the picture of the men he had shown at school earlier.

“How did you find out about the criminals you see over there?”

“I have something I want to do, and they said I could get help, so I found out.”

“Have you been introduced? Or did you find out about it by asking around yourself?”

The alchemist who was supposed to hand over Yul’s research results connected them, saying they were experts.

But I couldn’t say it out loud, so I decided to turn it around a bit.

“He just heard that someone he knew across the street recommended it to him, so he recommended it to me as well. Today I learned for the first time that these people are criminals. “I don’t know what they did, but it has nothing to do with me.”

“It’s up to us to decide whether it matters or not. I will continue to ask questions. “What were you trying to do by hiring these people?”

“I was going to ask you to do something personal for me. “It has nothing to do with crime, so there’s no reason to talk about it.”

thud!

“We decide there is no reason to talk.”

“Are you threatening me now?”

“If you fail to cooperate, you may be disadvantaged in legal proceedings.”

“Why am I being judged legally? That won’t happen, right?”

“Are you refusing to comply with the investigation?”

“I’m talking right now!!”

The pressure from the article brought tears to my eyes.

I felt sad because it was my first time being treated so humiliatingly.

“Please note that perjury may also result in disadvantages.”

“Why am I lying?! There’s no reason to defend someone you have nothing to do with. “I’ve said it before, but I feel really unfair!”

He said it as if he were swearing, but the engineer in charge of the investigation didn’t even flinch.

He honestly did only what he had to do.

“Why did you plan the crime?”

“yes? Crime? “What kind of crime?”

Surely these guys didn’t go that far?

It hasn’t been done yet, so there’s no reason to add a crime by saying it?

I couldn’t have said that.

This is ridiculous.

If you don’t know anything, you’re just stabbing me for no reason.

However, the words of the article that followed were despairing.

“It’s already blown up there. “Your criminal plan, and even the people involved in it!”

“!!!”

You even know the alchemist you agreed to do business with?

This is ridiculous.

How great is the company that the alchemist belongs to?

He said there would be no problem even if he got caught because he had the backing.

So, instead of deliberately bringing the research results to my parents’ association, I contacted an alchemist from another affiliate.

‘But if you know the alchemist, isn’t that the same as knowing everything?’

Looking at the driver’s expression, this wasn’t something he was trying to do without knowing anything.

Just saying he was an alchemist meant that he knew everything.

We can no longer remain in denial.

“… “Did they really say everything?”

“If I hadn’t told you, there would have been no reason to bring you here. “We are enforcing it through legal procedures.”

“I didn’t do anything.”

This is not a lie.

You haven’t done it yet, have you?

“Are you going to deny it until the end?”

“I’m not denying it, it’s true! “You really didn’t do anything?”

“That won’t work.”

bang!!

The driver said, slamming his fist on the table.

“Why did you try to steal someone else’s research results?”

As expected, the driver knew the whole situation.

I couldn’t show weakness here.

“So? You didn’t do it after all! “You can’t treat me like a criminal when I didn’t do anything!”

“You said you often visited the victim’s lab. Was this a preliminary investigation for criminal planning?”

“He and I were friends. “I was just trying to make a joke, but they took advantage of my prank.”

“I heard there was a lot of opposition to the sudden move to the lab. Are you angry because there was a change in the plan?”

The bastard…!

“If you’re not going to listen to me, why are you asking questions?”

“I heard that he got very angry when we were not allowed to enter the new lab. Did you have any intention of killing the victim?”

“You’re killing me!! Stop talking nonsense! It’s true that I was thinking of going into his lab, but I went in there just to prank him! I never thought about stealing the research results! No, those criminals could have thought that way. But it’s not like I can know what those people are thinking!”

I was so angry at the knight’s actions that I screamed.

You tried to kill me?

That was something I really hadn’t thought about.

“You also spread malicious rumors about the victim, right?”

Something is strange.

That knight looked like a man who had decided to turn himself into a criminal.

Aren’t they trying to force the case by asking strange interrogations as if they were ordered by someone?

This was not a normal investigation process.

I must have fallen into a trap.
