According to the dean, the automatons of the glove holders suddenly went out of control at certain moments. Then, regardless of the puppeteers' attempts to stop them, they disappeared without a trace. No one knew where they went.
This phenomenon was also mentioned by Karyuusai Saltpeter. Some of the automatons on the street were still there after they went out of control, while some disappeared after they went out of control. The glove holders were still looking for them.
The glove holders were the same. First, they desperately searched in the academy. Then, they asked the guards, the Discipline Committee, and even the academy council to search, but they couldn't find them. In the end, they could only give up in despair.
Of course, the undefeatable situation of Rozen and the others in the Night Meeting was also the main reason why the glove holders gave up. This was unavoidable.
The problem was …
"Where did these automatons go? What kind of magic could directly affect the automatons? "
The dean said.
"Even the automatons in the mechanical city of Liverpool were almost affected. It's conceivable that this magic has a large range of effect and is extremely powerful. If that's the case, the amount of magic needed can only be described as terrifying. Where did this magic come from?"
These were all mysteries.
"Coincidentally, the Automaton Expo will be held soon. Even His Highness the Crown Prince will be there. For such an anomaly that specifically targets automatons at this time, I can't help but suspect that there's a terrible conspiracy."
The dean became serious and spoke to Rozen and Magnus.
"There are three main reasons why I've asked you to come here."
"One: Both of you are the most outstanding students in the academy, the most powerful competitors in the Night Meeting, and the people closest to the throne of the Demon King. You are also unprecedented talents. I must first remind you to take protective measures, lest you lose the automatons like the others and give up in the Night Meeting."
"Two: According to the academy's investigation and analysis, the source of this uproar is very likely to be within the academy. Therefore, the culprit behind this uproar is very likely to be someone from our academy. If the culprit's target is an excellent automaton that can attend the Night Gathering, then the two of you are very likely to be their biggest target."
"Three: The two of you are the strongest in the academy, and the puppets under your command are all Forbidden Puppets, so you won't be easily affected. Therefore, after you have taken the necessary precautions, I hope that the two of you can find the culprit behind this incident in the academy and return peace to the academy and the city."
"The above is the reason why all of you have been gathered here."
At this point, the dean's tone slowed down again as he sought for guidance.
"I wonder what the two of you think?"
The dean passed the authority to Rozen and Magnus.
Rozen and Magnus were silent at the same time.
It wasn't just the two of them. The other automatons that were fighting each other also retracted their gazes and turned their attention to their masters.
Even Irori and Komurasaki looked at Rozen.
There was no other reason.
At the mansion, Shiroko Karyuusai also asked Rozen the same question.
At that time, Rozen didn't answer at all.
Now, faced with this problem again, what would Rozen do?
Irori and Komurasaki were concerned about this.
Under such circumstances …
"I want to ask a question."
Rozen pondered for a while and then calmly made such a request.
"Just ask, as long as it's a question I can answer, I will answer you."
The dean made the biggest response.
At the moment, Rozen directly asked the question that he cared about the most.
"Can you confirm that the source of the unknown magic is in the academy, and the culprit who used this magic is also from the academy?"
This was what Rozen wanted to know the most.
For this …
"Whether the culprit is from the academy, we haven't completely confirmed it, but we can only say that it's possible."
The dean answered bluntly.
"However, the source of the magic is indeed in the academy. Both the Mechanical Physics Department and the Mechanical Technology Department have detected the unknown magic from the very beginning of the academy, and then gradually spread out and affected the outside of the academy."
In this case, even if the other party was not from the academy, it was certain that the other party must have launched the magic in the academy.
So, the other party was really likely to be from the academy, and it was very likely that he was in the academy.
"I see."
Rozen nodded and stood up from the sofa.
"Are you going to assist the academy? Anja? "
The dean asked unhurriedly.
Rozen answered without hesitation.
"I am used to acting alone, and I am not interested in cooperating with the academy. Thank you for providing valuable information, Dean."
After saying this, Rozen turned and left.
Seeing this, Ye Ye, Irori, and Komurasaki quickly followed and left the reception room together.
At the same time, Magnus also stood up.
"Goodbye."
Magnus didn't even give the dean a chance to ask, and then left with the girls of the team.
"You …!"
Seeing that both Rozen and Magnus were so rude, Avril frowned, and just wanted to say something, but she was stopped by the dean.
"Capable young people always have a little temper, after all, we are old, just bear with it a little."
The dean didn't mind at all and smiled.
This made Avril relax her eyebrows, and then said so.
"You are the only old person, you can't even order two students, what a useless old man."
Avril scolded him so rudely.
"Avril ah …"
The dean suddenly made a useless sound. Being suppressed by his secretary, he was afraid that anyone would think that he was really a useless old man, right?
However …
"That cunning old fox intends to use us."
As soon as he walked out of the dean's mansion, Rozen immediately said this to Ye Ye, Irori, and Komurasaki.
"Wh … what …?"
Ye Ye was stunned.
"Use?"
Irori was also stunned.
"That old grandpa?"
Komurasaki also looked very surprised.
But that was the truth.
"That old fox's ultimate goal is the divine mechanism, there is no doubt about that."
Rozen said so.
"For the sake of the divine mechanism, that old man attached great importance to this year's Night Assembly. For this reason, he didn't hesitate to vouch for me so that I won't be punished for the destruction of God's Workshop. It's not to protect me, but to protect a talent that may become a demon king."
It could be seen how much importance the dean attached to the Night Assembly.
"And if this year's Night Meeting continues to have people giving up, then the legitimacy of the Night Meeting will be questionable. Not only will the people from the outside world investigate the reason for this situation, but they will also wonder if the academy has done something behind the scenes to make people give up. Even the association will suspect if there is a problem with the academy. If things go wrong, they might not allow the Night Meeting to be held in the academy anymore."
Rozen explained.
"In order not to let such a thing happen, that old fox wants to use us to find the culprit, because as he said, both my and Magnus's puppets are taboo puppets, and we have enough ability to deal with this matter. It can be said that we are the most suitable chess pieces."
Rozen said all the thoughts in the dean's mind.
"Then, should we still look for the culprit?"
Komurasaki couldn't help but ask.
Rozen suddenly smiled.
"Why not?"
So Rozen smiled meaningfully.
"If we find the culprit, we will have the initiative."
