"Here, the things you wanted." During breakfast, Rob bumped into Royce at the entrance of the cafeteria. The latter handed over a thick stack of documents.
"Hmm, this is?"
"Information on Foreman and Hobson." The female archer pointed at the thicker one. "As per your request, I've collected Foreman's life from 23 years ago." With that said, he pointed to another stack that was obviously much thinner. "These are the matters related to Hobson sixty-eight years ago when he lived in Siamus. Hmm, Hobson's records are quite far from the present, and he's dead, so it's difficult to collect his information. The accuracy is also a little lower."
"Hmm, I understand." Rob took the documents and skimmed through them. The information on Foreman was indeed much more detailed. Not only did it include his residence, range of activities, but it also included his interpersonal relationships from 23 years ago. In contrast, Hobson's information was much less, especially in terms of interpersonal relationships. Perhaps no one could say for sure how many people the head of the Andrea Family had met 68 years ago.
It could be seen that Royce had put in a lot of effort to collect this information. Hence, Archmage readily paid the balance and then packed two buns from the cafeteria. He ate breakfast as he walked towards the training field. Halfway there, he suddenly heard an angry shout. "Halt!"
Rob looked up and saw a thief bro sprinting towards him. Behind him was Lolo, who was madly chasing after him. The girl's chest was already wearing the badge of the Department of Discipline.
Only then did Archmage remember that Lolo seemed to have told him that today was her first day on duty at the Department of Discipline. He didn't expect to encounter a situation so early in the morning. That thief bro didn't know what he had done, but he was chased around by Lolo. But after running in fear for a while, he discovered that nothing had happened to him. Even after so long, the guy with the staff behind him hadn't released a single spell.
Thus, this bro was amused again. It seemed like the standards of the disciplinary department were only so-so. After running for a while, he purposely slowed down and waited for Lolo to catch up to him. He even turned around and put his hands on the back of his head to play a trick of running backwards.
However, this guy did have the qualifications to be arrogant. He was a Tier 1 Thief, so he had a natural advantage in terms of speed. After all, Swordsmen were a class with short legs. No matter how hard Lolo tried, she wouldn't be able to catch up to him. Moreover, it was almost time for class to start, so there were quite a few students on the streets. With the two of them chasing and fleeing, they immediately attracted quite a few gazes. Seeing that the members of the disciplinary department couldn't do anything to that Thief, quite a few people started whispering amongst themselves.
That guy was also a player who would go crazy when people came to him. He enjoyed the feeling of being noticed, and he even arrogantly greeted the people around him. However, in the next second, a tragedy happened.
Rob extended his leg as he passed by. However, he was still a Rank 1 Thief after all. Even though he had his back turned, he was still aware of the situation behind him.
"Haha, you want to trick me with this kind of small trick?!" The Thief raised his leg and was about to easily move around a certain someone's black leg. However, at this moment, he suddenly felt his body go numb. His leg froze in mid-air and just happened to trip on Rob's outstretched leg. His expression immediately changed. "F * ck, what kind of sorcery is this?!"
Following that, his head tilted back, and his body fell backwards.
After a long time, this guy finally sat up from the ground. He shook his slightly dazed head, and wanted to get up and run again. However, at this time, Lolo had already aggressively pounced on him from behind. The Thief student wasn't shocked, instead, he was happy. What kind of situation was this? Who was the one who fell and injured their head? A Mage wanted to play close combat with a Thief like him?
However, he didn't notice that Rob, who was beside him, had already silently moved to the side.
Then, the Thief student who was brimming with confidence was ruthlessly slapped in the face by reality. The entire battle only lasted for two minutes. Perhaps it couldn't even be called a battle, but a one-sided ravage. Lolo threw away her staff and started with a knee attack. In the next two minutes, everyone's understanding of Mages in close combat was completely subverted.
If it wasn't for the Thief student who saw that the situation wasn't right and quickly begged for mercy, he would probably be lying in the infirmary.
The rookie The Brave hurriedly thanked Archmage, who was beside him, and then grabbed the guy by the collar and ran towards the Student Council office.
Rob wanted to say something, but stopped himself. If it was someone else in the disciplinary department, perhaps a Entanglement spell would be enough to resolve the situation. However, against a half-baked Mage like Lolo, they could only use force. This time, with his help, they were able to capture the person, but next time, they might not be so lucky. Moreover, as time passed, her identity as a Grade 1 Swordsman would no longer be a secret. Once the opponent was prepared, the battle wouldn't be as easy as today.
Alright, it's all my fault. Rob reflected, he clearly shouldn't have made a move just now. He originally hoped that Lolo would feel the difficulties of working in the disciplinary department, and then it would be much easier to persuade her to give up. In the end, that guy really deserved a beating. Rob realized that if he didn't throw a Paralysis spell at him, it would be a little unfair.
Sigh, forget it. No matter what, at least I helped Lolo vent her anger. The disciplinary department's matters should be left for another time.
During the morning class, Gage came over and said mysteriously, "Hey, have you heard?"
"Heard what?" Archmage was flipping through the information provided by Louisa. Up until now, he hadn't found anything in common between Foreman and Hobson's lives.
"Something big happened. In the morning, hundreds of people ran to the Police Guard station, saying that they were attacked by unknown people last night. The Police Guard station is in an uproar. They've issued a city-wide arrest warrant for the attackers, but so far, not a single one of them has been caught. Now, there are rumors that all the killers were killed by a mysterious expert, but the strange thing is that their bodies are still missing."
Hundreds of people? Rob was speechless. The more rumors spread, the less reliable they became. That night, he killed five teams of killers, but he only saved a total of ten people. Even if he added all the people left in the restaurant, there wouldn't be more than a hundred people. Not to mention, those people didn't even know that they had a trip to the gates of hell.
As for the disappearance of the bodies, it wasn't out of Rob's expectations. The Matthews family had a guilty conscience, so they definitely didn't want to leave any traces. Therefore, after killing these people, Rob didn't have to worry about the aftermath at all. However, once the news spread, that old fox Gagarin would definitely notice something. What the Matthews family wanted to do must be extremely dangerous, or else they wouldn't even let passersby go. Based on this, there was even less reason for them to let Gagarin go. Once the old magician finished repairing the magitek, he wouldn't be far from death.
Rob knew that if he were Gagarin, the first thing he would do after hearing this news was to run for his life.
