The Branded Female Fencer

That night at the Deep Green Palace in Arnelia Church.

"What about Jake?

"You'll be asleep already. The servant seems tired today, too. Still, Roxanne and I used to work together a lot."

"Well, you're really sincere about the sword. I'd like you to fight harder on your desk."

It is Miriazal and Rafferty who are talking. There are also Alberto, Moldard and Kiko on the spot.

"It's late"

"Dry into the manadil, or get in"

And Manadil and Dryde, archbishops, also showed up. Especially since Manadil is also responsible for Gloria, it would be him if he were to be held accountable for this incident.

When you enter the room, Manadil will say the words of apology.

"What can I apologize for?"

"Exactly. I'm glad Jake stopped there, but what would have happened if damage had been done to the other students. If there's an opening, tell me why this happened."

"No, we don't make excuses. Let's get rid of it."

As Manadir remained drooling over his head, Miriazar exhaled heavily and urged Manadir to raise his face.

"I can't help but look at your Lord's bald head. I understand that there are no problems with the management system. The investigation is already underway. Get a report from Rafferty."

"Yes. On top of that, I apologize..."

"That's why I'm telling you that shit is not serious. That's enough. Rafferty, report."

"Then we will report the investigation."

Rafferty turns the material at hand.

"Let's start with what we found out. It wasn't the forest wolf that Jake defeated this time."

"Hmm. So what?

Miriazal's eyebrows move tingly.

"It's a walthound, a subspecies that live far south."

"I don't really ask... what's the point?

"Essentially, southern demons are even more ferocious and combative among the continents. I mean, you can think of it as the top species of forest wolf."

Rafferty reports pale. When I heard that much, Miriazal's face became even more daunting.

"I mean, you think someone switched demons?

"We haven't checked that far. This forest wolf did not pass the guild in the first place and was captured through an extracurricular exercise in Gloria's sixth grade. I mean..."

"There's an inside man in Gloria?

Manadil shouts his surprise. Miriazal will control him if he says anything more.

"Are there any further investigations into this?

"No, not that far. I'm not even sure when it was replaced."

"Then all the arguments from here will be speculative. If you intend to, you may express your opinion."

Moldard raises his hand on Miriazal's words.

"Moldard, tell me."

"Then cross the line. It's time for the forest wolf to be switched, but that will change things."

"For example."

"First of all, it's possible he wasn't a forest wolf at the first stage of capture. Given the frequency of demon kings these days, it's not surprising that something like that happened before you knew it."

"One word from me regarding that possibility"

Rafferty raises her hand.

"What?"

"Forest wolves prefer collective action and tend to make herd bosses. The total number of populations can be as small as 20. If it is larger, it can be more than 100. The Valthhound, on the other hand, is my strong species, sometimes hunting alone, and the population forms only a number, many or less than 10. At the time of this capture, there were reports that we had dealt with more than 30 herds. As a possibility, I was wondering if there was a good chance he was a forest wolf at the time of capture. Most of these two species are hard to discern at first glance. So I'm not sure."

"I see. Then let's conclude at one end that it's unlikely at this time. Moldard, is there anything else?"

"Yes. Then go on."

Moldard goes on to say more.

"It is possible that we switched during the next transport, but this is unlikely"

"Why not?"

"Captured individuals will be baked for identification. And when I brought the forest wolf into the holy city of Arnelia, I checked myself. When we entered the Holy City of Arnelia, we were undoubtedly individuals at the time of capture."

"Father's... No. Excuse me, I was wondering if Lord Moldard was right. When we capture warcraft and demons, we will identify them by baking marks. This is a duty. And there was no burn mark on the individual Jake knocked down this time."

"Ho."

Miriazal smiles satisfactorily.

"Then don't be narrowed down."

"Yes, I was wondering if the wolf was likely replaced within Gloria"

"There's no way I can do that!

It was Manadir who was outraged. If you try him, you don't want to believe that something as big as that was done on your own lap. Dride controls him like that.

"Manadil, calm down"

"Can this calm down! About how much censorship you need to break through to hold such a warcraft..."

"You don't have to."

Miriazal suddenly blocked Manadir's words. To unexpected words, Manadil makes his eyes black and white.

"Dear Miriazal, What is that..."

"Do you know what you watch out for when you build fortifications that don't fall even when attacked in battle?

"No, it's..."

"A fort with only one weak spot,"

Alberto speaks quietly. Miriazal snorts at the word.

"Exactly. Something called a fort is broken from a place you wouldn't expect to make everything strong. So deliberately creating a weak part and holding it tight there are the basics of defense. Arnelia too. The smuggling route is in this city, and the head of it is not the breathtaking one."

"Then ask the chief."

"Uhm. We'll see who purchased such a warcraft this time"

"We will make arrangements as soon as possible. Let's find out by tonight."

"Please, Rafferty."

Rafferty leaves the room graciously. When Miriazal further encouraged his opinion on the remaining faces, Alberto now raised his hand.

"Why don't you talk to Jake?

"Why not? We've already heard the whole story."

Miriazal is also surprised by this question. But Alberto valued Jake more than he thought.

"I can't insult Jake. His opinion is valuable. More should be pursued if he didn't feel any discomfort in school life or in his normal life."

"Hmm. Sure."

Miriazal recalls the strange talent Jake showed in his fight against Doom. It is possible that Jake is aware of something that even Miriazal does not realize.

"But I'll do it tomorrow. Let's get Jake tired today too."

"Yes, I'll see you tomorrow."

"Okay, who else has any suggestions yet?

No one will answer Miriazal's words this time.

"Then I stayed up late tonight. But some still have their jobs. Once dismissed here, Manadil will investigate anyone who may have entered the scene and thoroughly control the information. Don't let the public know. Dride is maintained as is. Alberto stopped the Knights of the Temple who went for the exercise and asked him to explain the situation. Moldard, wash out anyone involved in the Valthhound transport. That's it."

"" "" Your will "" "

That's how they each leave the room. All that was left were Tsuko and Miriazal.

"Son of a bitch, have you heard from all the mouthless people diving into Gloria?

Actually, there was a suspicious report.

"I see, do you think you can take the back?

"Primary reports such as background came, but there were no suspicious parts at all. That's not too suspicious anymore."

"... you think that's suspicious the other way around?

"Yes."

The face of Zizi is never serious. Miriazal guessed that she had a good deal of certainty.

"Fine. When will we find out?

"In the early morning."

"Okay. Let me know as soon as the report's up."

That's how Miriazal goes straight to get his hypnotic sleep, but the next morning, because of that report and Rafferty's, listening to Jake was behind him. If that were a failure, Miriazal would regret it within that day.
