As the residence of the dean, the Dean's residence was naturally more luxurious and high-standard than any other place. As soon as they entered the door, there was a hall, and there was a row of stairs on the left and right sides extending upward, as if covering the entire hall, connecting to the second floor.
Under the guidance of the dean, Rozen and his team went to the reception room where Avril gathered them last time.
Perhaps because it was her first time here, Little Purple had been looking around restlessly, looking like she wanted to run out and play.
Irori was the complete opposite of Little Violet. She looked serious as if she had come to the enemy's base camp. Her vigilance could be seen at a glance.
Only Ye Ye followed behind Rozen, and her eyes were fixed on Rozen.
This was because behind Magnus, the six girls were also staring at Rozen. Their eyes were full of annoyance and hostility.
In the confrontation just now, Magnus was controlled by Rozen, and his life was in Rozen's hands. It seemed that the six girls' hostility and vigilance toward Rozen suddenly rose to the highest.
In order to prevent the same thing from happening again, the six loyal automatons no longer dared to look away from Rozen, and they were even thinking about whether they should make the first move to gain the upper hand, which led to this kind of behavior.
Ye Ye naturally wouldn't allow such a thing to happen, so she had been staring at Rozen, ready to make a move at any time.
As a result, the automatons had their own reactions, and they were even wary of each other. On the contrary, Rozen and Magnus walked slowly in front as if nothing had happened. They didn't look at each other, and their expressions had returned to normal.
Avril seemed to heave a sigh of relief when she saw the two of them. She followed beside the dean without saying a word.
The dean, who was walking in the front, was very relaxed. As he walked forward, he opened the door of the reception room and let everyone in.
"Come, sit down."
The dean welcomed Rozen and Magnus in a friendly manner.
Rozen and Magnus didn't stand on ceremony and sat down.
Of course, they were very particular about their positions.
The dean sat on the main seat, while Rozen and Magnus sat on the left and right sofas, facing each other. Together with the dean, they formed a triangle.
Ye Ye, Irori, and Komurasaki stood behind Rozen and did not sit down.
The six members of the battle team also guarded Magnus from behind. They lined up in a row and didn't relax at all.
Avril, on the other hand, stood behind the dean. Her face was cold and arrogant, and she had a military knife at her waist. She looked more like a guard than a secretary.
Everyone took their respective positions, and the door to the reception room slowly closed.
Perhaps it was because he wasn't in a hurry to get down to business, but the dean first expressed his concern for Magnus.
"How's your body? You weren't injured just now, right? "
The dean asked with great concern.
"Thank you for your concern, it's not a big deal."
Magnus replied in a concise and comprehensive manner. His behavior was neither respectful nor rude, and could be considered to be very unique.
"That's good." The dean nodded and said to Magnus in a sincere tone, "You are the treasure of our academy. You have to protect yourself well. Otherwise, I will lose face as the dean."
"… Engrave it in my heart," Magnus said slowly, as if he had listened to Garen's words.
The dean turned his head and looked at Rozen's direction.
To be more precise, he was looking at the three sisters behind Rozen.
"This is the masterpiece of the famous Master Karyuusai. It seems to be called Tsukuyomi Hana, right?" The dean exclaimed, "It's incredible craftsmanship to make an automaton so lifelike. It's almost no different from a human being. No wonder she's the best in the world of automatons."
The dean's words made Ye Ye, Irori, and Komurasaki's heart slightly tightened.
Because …
"The dean is really clear. You must have done a lot of investigation, right?"
So Rozen smiled and said that.
It was true that the three sisters behind him were the masterpieces of the famous Karyuusai, but there were very few people who could recognize them as automatons of the Tsukiyusai series and knew that they were made by Karyuusai.
After all, Karyuusai's Tsukuyomi Hana was only famous, and it was only limited to her own country. Ye Ye, Irori, and Komurasaki rarely appeared in public. Who could be sure that they were automatons of the Tsukuyomi Hana series?
The dean recognized them at a glance and said it directly. No one would believe it if he said that he didn't do some investigation.
However, that was what the dean said.
"No matter what, I'm the dean of the Mechatronics School, and I've seen quite a few automatons. I've also seen Master Karyuusai's creations, and every single one of them is extremely realistic. Not only do you come from the same country as Karyuusai, but you also have such high-performance and highly bionic automatons with you. There are exactly three of them, and Master Karyuusai's recent masterpieces are all about girls. She seems to have a preference for beautiful girls, so I was able to guess."
The dean's smile didn't diminish, but he looked at Rozen with a meaningful look.
"It would be great if such excellent automatons could attend the evening meeting. However, Supreme Ah Ni, please remember to register them to avoid unnecessary trouble."
The meaning of this sentence was simply terrifying.
Anyway, not to mention Yaya, both Irori and Komurasaki's pretty faces tightened, looking a little stiff.
"Then …"
At that time, the dean abruptly entered the topic.
"This time, I actually want to discuss the recent situation with you."
What situation?
"From the 70th place until now, all the participants who will attend the evening party have voluntarily abstained. You should all know about this, right?"
The dean actually mentioned this matter.
"In fact, the evening party's executive department has been receiving withdrawal requests from the participants recently. So far, the 55th place has surrendered their gloves."
At present, it was the 60th place's turn to appear, and the other party also abstained.
The 55th place would appear in another five nights, but he had already abstained in advance. As Xia Lu said, the number of people abstaining has been increasing.
But …
"You all think that they abstained because they feel that they can't beat the many participants, including Master Arnie, right?"
The dean glanced at Rozen and Magnus and said.
"In fact, the real reason for their abstention is that something happened to the automatons."
When this sentence came out of the dean's mouth, Rozen's eyes flashed.
Something happened to the automatons?
"Could it be …!"
The three sisters standing behind Rozen exclaimed one after another.
The dean ignored this and slowly said.
"The academy thinks that someone secretly used unknown magic to steal the automatons."
"The automatons of those participants all disappeared."
"This is the reason why they abstained."
