030, Mission under heavy rain

The rain is gloomy.

As summer approaches, there are more days of overwhelming rain, as if the city has completely forgotten what environment it stands in. The sandstorm outside is more like a joke in the face of this heavy rain.

The messy and dark rain swayed in the strong wind, and they were held hostage and crashed towards all kinds of things. The storm had forgotten its kindness to the world, and was only concerned with fully venting its dissatisfaction and destroying everything that could be seen.

Under the wind and rain, the entire city of sand was suppressed. Standing on the street and looking at the castle in the middle of the city, the rain blocked the view, making everything look hazy. Because of this unusual storm, shops on the street stopped operating one after another. The students in the college were huddling in their dormitories, talking about camping that could not be traveled because of this heavy rain.

Boom-

A pale lightning ripped through the sky, bringing a malicious light to the world hiding in the dark. With the help of the power of the storm, the raindrops swooped down from thousands of feet high and even more unscrupulously...

Pick.

Smashed on an open umbrella.

The umbrella is worn, and the painted black umbrella surface is made of thick oil cloth. The man under the umbrella was carrying a baby girl, and the chains on his hands and feet seemed to blend with the blackness of the rain. His steps walked slowly towards the tower, the tower of glory in the center of the Royal Academy.

"Ah, ahhh."

The little girl curled up, probably because the storm was too cold. When she followed the person into the elevator, a moment of warmth made her breath come out again, lay back on the idiot's shoulders, rubbing her chin against his neck.

"Ah~~~~Woo~~~~~~~~!"

The elevator rose rapidly, and after a jingle, the idiot left this short warm space. Looking up, the light on the back-shaped aisle was dim than it had ever been before, and they were flickering, perhaps due to lightning, the control of them had problems.

Tat... Tat... Tat... Tat...

Squeak.

The suppressed darkness pushed open the door of the principal's office, and he took a step and walked slowly in. Although the lights in the principal's office were bright, the darkness and coldness that contrasted through the floor-to-ceiling glass still swallowed the light here a little.

Boom-

Pale lightning appeared again, and the flash of light coming through the floor-to-ceiling glass swept across the room instantly. But there, an old man who stood in front of the window from beginning to end was not intimidated by the power of nature outside. He stared at the storm outside, his gaze, and also stared at the northeast of the city of sand. It was where the parks and lakes were located, and it was also where a large circus... was stationed.

"Wow—"

After swaying the rain from the umbrella, the idiot put the bread off his back. The little girl stumbled to the floor-to-ceiling glass, put her face on the glass and looked at the rain outside with interest. After the old man noticed this, he slowly turned around and sat on the chair directly opposite the idiot.

"Do you know, why I called you?"

The sound was cold, and through the lightning behind the glass window, the old man's face appeared in front of the idiot with only a dark shadow.

"Hmph, now, I'll ask you some questions. I hope you can answer honestly."

"Do you know the Marvel Circus?"

“…famous, circus.”

"So, do you know that Princess Walnut went to watch the first circus performance yesterday, accompanied by Yu Dailao?"

"……Know."

"Then, you should know a lot about the disappearance after one night, but none of these two important people came back."

A thunder flashed past the window again. The thunder was very close this time, so scared that Xiaobian couldn't help but collapse on the ground. The surging rain slapped on the floor-to-ceiling glass, forming one terrible eye after another. The little girl quickly got up, hurriedly hid behind the idiot, pulled his clothes, and curled up.

The idiot lowered his head and remained silent. A faint layer of frost began to spread across his dark pupils. As if he knew something, he walked forward, picked up a resume of tasks placed on his desk, and opened it-

D-level tasks.

Mission requirements: Search for the missing two people and provide information.

Remuneration: Fifty Inel.

Principal Campa stared at the idiot coldly, and after he expected that he had read the mission brief, he began to speak-

"According to witnesses, Princess Walnut and Young Master Dai Lao did go to the Marvel Circus to watch the performance yesterday. But the circus performance that night was so exciting that all witnesses gradually forgot to pay attention to the princess and the duke's heirs. Even until the end of the show, no one noticed whether the princess left together."

"It's not just the princess and Delau, but even their maids and servants have not returned. So, I need you who may know something to provide support."

The idiot picked up the pen and quickly signed the word "idiot" behind the mission briefing. He held Xiao Bao's hand and continued to stare at Campa in front of him.

"The specific search work will be carried out by the official army, and many students are willing to help. There are many students responsible for taking over this task. Because your strength is poor, I will entrust you with the simplest task to search."

As he said that, Campa took out a ticket for the surprise circus from his arms and placed it in front of the idiot.

"Take it. Tonight, you go to watch this show and search for information. Also, your outfit is too bad, they won't let you in. This is the clothes I've prepared for you and put them on."

The idiot took the clothes handed over by Principal Campa, a pretty aristocratic black velvet jacket. He untied the iron chains on his hands and put them on, which was just the size.

Principal Campa looked at the idiot coldly. After he put on his clothes, he sneered at the corner of his mouth: "You are really a person who can't get on the table. No matter how good the clothes you wear, it won't make you look conspicuous? Forget it, take off the chains on your feet. I allow you to treat this task as a life-and-death task."

The idiot nodded silently and lifted the chains on his feet. A beast liberated from the bondage immediately added a stream of darkness to this room where there was not enough light. The lights on the wall were flashing, and even the heavy rain outside the window did not slap the glass at this moment. However, the corner of Principal Campa's mouth showed an undetectable sneer.

"Remember, don't treat yourself as a hero. Others besides you are also assigned to search. Their mission is to directly be responsible for the A-level tasks of rescue, and you just assist them in the rescue. Don't cause trouble for them at that time."

The idiot closed his eyes and nodded silently again. The storm outside the window was still slapped at the window, as if he didn't take the blocking glass into his eyes at all, and could break through at any time.

The idiot who took over the task retreated. Just like when he came, he took an umbrella and carried the bread again and retreated from the door. Three minutes later, Principal Campa saw his departure from the dark scenery of the floor-to-ceiling glass. The contempt and sneer that originally hung on the corner of the old man's mouth also turned into seriousness with his departure.

"Ding Dong."

The bells on the table rang, and Campa sat back on his seat. With his voice "Please come in", two people wearing royal guards' cloaks walked in, saluted Campa, and stood at the desk.

"Mr. Principal, your Majesty, let us ask you about the progress of the incident."

The royal guard on the left, named Kalia Benan, about thirty-five years old.

"Well, then, what's going on with what you know?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Principal..."

The royal guard on the right looked not old, and he didn't have the huge, outrageously large sword on his waist. The hilt of the sword was engraved with the name of the user, Seerren. He continued-
