Chapter 64 Good morning, Senior

Thanks to Aiwas's careful treatment, when Yulia woke up this time, her complexion was obviously much better than the last time she lost control.

Yulia woke up on her own without even Iverson having to wake her up specifically.

After getting up the next day, Aiwass gave the unfinished "Sun" card to Yulia - as a "talisman".

Even ignoring its mystical significance, this card still holds value as an accessory. It's imbued with four points of Aiwass's fire-attribute mana, along with Yulia's own high-quality fire essence. Even through the charcoal and cotton covering, the card's warmth is palpable just by touching it.

The heat isn't scalding hot. It's more like a steam eye mask or a hand warmer... perfect for wearing next to your skin in winter.

Yulia was obviously very happy with the gift and her reaction was very enthusiastic. She even kissed Aiwass and gave him a hug as soft and warm as roasted marshmallows through her thick cotton coat.

Watching Yulia put it away happily, Aiwass tapped the middle finger of his right hand unconsciously on the armrest of the wheelchair and fell into thought.

Speaking of which, Yulia hadn't reached her first period yet. Although that was also due to the slow, low-temperature roasting of the Flame-Butterfly, Aiwass was about to pull it out.

Yulia turned fifteen last month, and Aiwass calculated the date and felt it should be soon. Then, he could make her a waist warmer—using the formula he'd just tested, his blood as the mana carrier, some imitation fire essence purchased from outside, and soft cotton and gauze. He could make a warming pad with a heat dissipation of about seven days...

Even without alchemy skills, Aiwass felt he had some skills. Furthermore, this action clearly aligned with the path of devotion... not only would the blood not be wasted, but it would also give him some level-up experience.

Yesterday I said I would accompany Aiwass to school, but Edward rode a griffin to the university first.

I should go find the doctor who does the lab tests, Aiwas thought.

Afterwards, after Lily had her breakfast, she helped Edward out in his wheelchair, and this time, Edward's valet also came along.

Because he usually lived outside with Edward, Aiwass didn't even know his name. But it was obviously not the right time to ask.

This man was a red-haired man who was as strong as a brown bear. He was helping to carry the two people's suitcases.

This was before wheeled suitcases, and everyone used carry-on luggage. These were made of stiff leather wrapped around a hardwood frame, with brass corners securing them—much like a doctor's medicine box.

Such boxes were very heavy, but the servant was able to carry one in each hand and walk briskly behind them.

Although he didn't say it in front of Aiwass, he was obviously annoyed by the slow pace at which Lily pushed the wheelchair - he would rush away from the two of them from time to time, and then obviously slow down a few steps.

This person is impatient.

Aiwass judged in his heart.

And if nothing unexpected happened, he and his eldest brother should have a good relationship. That's why he'd resorted to such impolite behavior, like "urging"... After all, the mainstream path of Avalon is authoritarian, and it's very particular about "rules." While Aiwass himself didn't care about this, he didn't know whether he cared or not.

Judging from this, Edward should be very friendly to the people around him and have no airs at all.

It's really strange.

Edward, a man of few words and good at keeping secrets, could actually be so gentle to others in private...

When Aiwass and his party arrived at the university town in the Red Queen District, Edward, who seemed to have finished his personal affairs, was standing there, feeding water to his griffin.

As Aiwas approached, he turned around as if he noticed something and nodded slightly to the valet.

Although Edward didn't say a word, the red-haired man immediately understood what he meant: "Where to send it?"

"No. 14, Ronin Street."

Edward replied simply.

Aiwass asked, "Is that our dormitory? Isn't it said to be inside the university?"

"The Royal Law University is quite large," Edward shook his head. "Ronin Street is the street in front of the main teaching building of the seminary. Walk east from the main teaching building without turning. Walk about 500 steps, cross a park and a small bridge, and you'll see the house.

"I just went to see it. It's beautiful. It's right by the river... and very close to the law school. You can even take a boat. It's only about four hundred steps away from the second dining hall. If you, Lily, want to audit a class at the law school while you're resting at Aiwass, you can walk the same distance. It's even closer than the student dormitories."

Glancing at Lily, whose eyes widened, Edward immediately explained, "I didn't buy it. It was a short-term gift from Her Royal Highness the Princess.

"The houses in Ronin Street are the kind of houses money can't buy—usually, they're a benefit Her Majesty the Queen gives to professors."

Outrageous.

Aiwass thought.

The "stand-alone dormitory" that Master Janice mentioned was not the kind of student dormitory gathered in one building as he imagined - but a faculty dormitory in the form of a villa!

My goodness, where did you put me?

Edward said, "As far as I know, this villa was originally intended to be given to Master Janice. Although she declined the invitation to be a visiting professor at the Royal Law University, she still gave the house to her. And the master gave the house back to her student, Princess Isabel, in her personal name."

"According to Her Royal Highness the Princess... this villa belongs to you until you graduate.

There was some uncontrollable surprise and confusion in Edward's eyes when he looked at Aiwass.

After he and Aiwass had resealed and treated Yulia yesterday, they had no energy to discuss Aiwass's meeting with the princess. He had no idea what had happened yesterday.

Aiwass thought, the only reason you can suppress your curiosity now is because the painting sent by Master Janice has not arrived yet.

When the Golden Dawn is delivered to your house, you will most likely come to me and ask me "what happened that night"...

But just as Aiwass gave a polite smile to hide the same question mark in his heart.

Edward suddenly leaned forward and gave him an awkward hug. Julia was short, so hugging him was natural; but Edward, standing 5 feet 4 inches tall, was like a giant, bending cautiously to look down. Just by looking at him, Aiwas could tell that Edward's back must be in pain.

Man, you are so tender...

Aiwass was complaining in his heart, but suddenly he felt Edward quietly put something into his arms.

He had an idea and reached into the outer pocket of his clothes to touch the shape of the thing.

He only touched it twice and immediately recognized its identity——

——It’s a pistol.

To be precise, it was the elven-crafted pistol "Lady's Grip" that was surrendered when Aiwass killed the evil sorcerer Veronica!

“…Is the school really that dangerous?”

He whispered in Edward's ear, "The Royal Law University's defenses are comparable to those of a government building, right? Why do we still have to carry guns to class?"

Two and a half months after school started, when he reported to school on the first day, he was carrying a gun that had been used to kill people.

Just thinking about this scene made Aiwas feel subtle.

But he didn't refuse either.

Currently, he only had an "Enchantment Card: Shadow Blade" and the Chapel Key for his ultimate, lacking any self-defense or intimidation abilities. Having conventional weapons was always better; after all, being pointed at with a gun was more intimidating than being pointed at with a key.

"I have no idea."

Edward gave a high-quality answer in a deep voice: "But after I came in today, my instinct told me...the atmosphere in the school is not right."

Aiwass raised an eyebrow and accepted the explanation.

As a high-ranking transcendent, Edward's clairvoyance and vision were far more acute than Aiwass's. Even an unfounded "feeling something was not right" was likely valuable intelligence.

...I'm a bit unlucky.

He really wanted to come here to attend classes and read books with peace of mind.

Please, don't put any trouble on me...

"If something happens at the Royal Law University, it must be because of a professor."

Edward straightened up, pondered for a few seconds, and said in a low voice: "In any case, you should take it first, and protect yourself first. If the gun is found by others, just say that I asked you to take it and ask them to notify the Inspectorate.

"Don't give any weapon to anyone who asks you for it. Put it all on me—get it? As long as I'm not here, you can't give the gun to anyone."

"clear."

Aiwass nodded decisively.

Very satisfied with Aiwass's decisiveness, Edward nodded slightly in appreciation.

He slightly moved aside, revealing Haena, who was running in a panic from a distance. "I've found a senior for you to show you the way... You've met twice before, so you should be quite familiar with each other. From now on, just follow her. If you have any problems, ask your senior. If anyone bullies you, go to her as well."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Inspector General!"

Haina ran over and whispered in fear, "I seem to be... a little late... How long have you been waiting?"

"No, you're not late. Aiwass just got here."

Edward spoke calmly. The moment he looked up at Haena, his face lost all expression, as if covered by a pale metal mask. "Inspector Haena Dane, I leave my brother in your care."

Haina breathed a sigh of relief.

She subconsciously felt that she might be late again, and her heart almost skipped a beat.

"yes!"

But at the same time, she stood at attention and answered without hesitation, a look of determination on her face.

She had not known the Inspector General before.

Although he looked familiar, as if I had seen him somewhere before, that was probably an illusion.

How could I have the chance to meet such a great person...

——This person was the manager of the Inspectorate on Glass Island in the capital! He was probably the most important person she had ever met!

One and a half levels higher than Director Kent!

Plus, the Inspectorate is also responsible for disciplinary inspections and punishments for corruption, which means she's basically the boss of her boss's boss's boss's boss...

...So the most powerful person in the Moriarty family is not the professor, but Inspector Edward?

Director Kent gave her a day off today, and she had been planning to read in the dormitory.

As a result, just now... when the inspector general ran up to Haina with a cold face and showed his ID to prove his identity, Haina was almost scared to death - it's not an exaggeration, it's true.

At that time, Haina was so scared that her legs went weak.

At first, Haina thought she had made some mistake in her work and was going to be dismissed and punished by the Inspectorate!

——I am just a lowly inspector who doesn’t even have a griffin, and I have just finished my trainee status.

As for the Inspector General of Glass Island making a personal trip?!

Basically speaking, if a person of Director Kent's level committed serious crimes such as smuggling, treason, murder, etc., it would be up to this adult to personally issue a disciplinary notice... Maybe Director Kent is not even qualified, Haina thought.

Only when Haina heard that "because she is helpful, sincere and not arrogant, she has a high reputation in the school" and asked her to take care of Aiwass and take him to meet his classmates did she breathe a sigh of relief.

She felt her fingertips and chin go numb.

It wasn't until a while after Edward left that she felt her heartbeat again, and her back, neck, and cheeks were all wet with sweat.

She didn't have time to boil water for a bath, so she just changed her clothes, wiped her body, and ran over.

But Haina's mind went blank with fear. She realized halfway that she had not changed her shoes or put on her coat, so she hurried back to put them on.

Fortunately, she ran really fast, so Aiwass and Edward didn't have to wait for her at the door for long.

Rather, Edward actually gave her enough time to wash up...

If she hadn't gone back again, she would have definitely arrived earlier. Edward probably wouldn't have had the chance to secretly hand the gun to Edwards, and would have been somewhat dissatisfied.

From this point of view, Senior Sister Haina is quite lucky...

"——Good morning, Senpai."

Aiwass, sitting in a wheelchair, silently adjusted the position of the pistol in his arms. He looked at the senior student with interest. Her brain immediately short-circuited when she came into contact with a big shot. He smiled brightly and friendly. "Long time no see... It's been two days since we last met, right?"
