Chapter 51: Forty-sixth Lesson: One Step at a Time
Soon enough, students began to arrive, and seeing the situation at hand, these young people said nothing; instead, they cooperated willingly with the screening... to which Malin could only say these guys were a little too practiced at this, truly a heart-wrenching sight.
Then again, if you choose art and have a love for beauty, you should know what you might encounter in this damned world.
As the investigation proceeded, Malin found out none of the students had any issue—not even the girls in Julian’s daughter’s class.
"It seems we are up against a very cunning opponent," the Justice Maiden also shared her viewpoint, for them, justice was never about talking—it was about doing: "What she’s done is very covert, but excessive is as bad as deficient. For an academy established by the Church of Art and Beauty, it’s just too clean."
"Is there such a saying?" Malin asked, curious.
"Yes, there is," the Justice Maiden nodded.
"Then all we can hope for is that the messengers reach the War God Academy in time, or else they’ll just have to rely on themselves to escape alive," Malin said before falling silent for a while and then turning to the Proxy beside him, "By the way, the lad you recommended to me earlier, can he be trusted?"
"He is the most trustworthy, Your Excellency. After all, he is the surviving second son of the Domingo family, among the Thirty Braves. This year, after he completes his Proxy contract, he can return to his family with honor," the Deputy Commander hurriedly replied.
Malin nodded, "If that’s the case, then it should be the best."
As the investigation deepened, Malin also noticed the problem—as the Justice Maiden said, it was too clean, with no scent of Chaos and not even a trace of Spirits.
