Chapter 64 Dean
Unfortunately, the riot caused by Liqi did not last as long as she hoped. It was like when they gathered, and the crowd at the scene quickly dispersed.
Although the apprentices were interested in the flash explosion caused by Liqi, there was no more movement here except that one. What they were doing now was to squeeze together with a bunch of people in the hot summer night to watch the guards busy blocking a lawn blown away by spells.
Such behavior is probably not something else to describe except "boring".
In addition, before they gathered in large numbers, the scene was already controlled by the guards of the college, and the teachers stationed in the college rushed to hear the news. Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was obviously that the college needed to block the news, the apprentices present did not want to cause unnecessary trouble.
Leading the group of apprentices with telescopes, the crowd gradually dispersed, and the apprentices who were doing nothing in groups and were still watching on the spot also left at the request of the teachers. After a while, only a small team of guards and several teachers were investigating near the art building.
Standing in the distance, looking at the guards who used roadblocks to blow the lawns, Liqi smiled secretly: "It is worthy of being the garrison directly under the academy, so it is quite fast to deal with such small riots. If the guards were dealing with similar incidents in the city, the scene might have been blocked by the crowd."
Although the situation caused by this "explosion" did not continue to expand as they hoped, it was somewhat expected that it would come to an end in this way.
The guards of Katris Academy are also well-known around Katris. According to the investigation by the Mercenary Management Office, their overall strength is enough to compete with the Katris Security Force. If it only talks about personal abilities and equipment, it is even better.
"It's a waste of time. To deal with a small commotion, they used them to kill a fish and took out a horse-killing sword." Curt looked at the pocket watch taken out of his shirt pocket. It took less than three minutes from the beginning of the riot to the quelling. "After all, it's in the academy, and the difficulty of managing students is still one level lower than that of ordinary people. Now these people are probably just sent to investigate the reasons."
He said in a judging tone: "But that's it, but if it were the guards to deal with it, they might not be able to achieve better results than them. Whether it is to treat students or kind citizens, they are not a place to exert their abilities."
Curt felt that it was a bit useless to dispatch guards for a little impact. Although this garrison, which belongs to the dean of the college, claimed to maintain the safety of the Katris Academy as its top priority, it usually only needs to carry out patrols and garrisons within the college territory. However, in special circumstances, such as large-scale monster attacks or war situations, it will also be dispatched as a mobile force.
Those who can be selected into this organization with a total of no more than 500 people have extraordinary talents and can also obtain new equipment rated by the academy. It may be too exaggerated to say that they can make one hundred, but it is no difficulty to let these people resist more than ten enemies on the front.
"Although I really want to say 'You're right' or something, it doesn't seem like this opportunity." After absorbing Curt's magic, Liqi's voice seemed not so tired. "Look over there - it seems that there is a big man coming."
The sound directly into his head made it difficult for Curt to distinguish her position, but he felt that the cold thing moved slightly behind him. The cold air made Curt's back become cold, and he felt that there was suddenly a piece of ice behind him.
Squeak-
A sharp wailing sound from the wheels rubbing against the road surface was heard on the side of the road opposite. A 4-wheel drive car with a silver-gray color painted in silver and gray, with a rough and simple appearance came out of the darkness, and then suddenly braked beside the surrounded scene, rolled up a wave of dust and sand and stopped suddenly.
That car that Liqi calls the so-called "big man" - "foresight".
As its name reveals, driving such a car on the road around the city will attract all kinds of attention.
Large-diameter engraved tires, protective armor made of high-strength steel can be equipped with auxiliary brackets for heavy mechanic guns... Its huge body has many additional equipment that is not needed for "driving" to highlight its extremely distinctive presence.
This is a new model launched by Urban, the most famous vehicle manufacturing company in the empire, just a few months ago. It is in line with its exaggerated presence and the price is also very high. Curt's salary for a month may not even be able to buy a common accessory on the car.
Although the "foresight" has outstanding performance as a vehicle, the outrageous price still scares most people away - if it is just to decorate the storefront, there are naturally too many more suitable varieties. The result is that there are only a handful of people in the entire autonomous region who own this car.
And at this point, there is only one person who can appear in the academy and own this car, that is, the owner of this academy, Cruise François.
After the large vehicle stopped, several people dressed in formal wear walked out of the rear compartment of the car.
The man at the head had an impressive appearance, and a tough look revealed in his eyebrows. He was about forty-five to fifty years old, wearing a black coat and a gentleman's hat with a wide brim on his head. The silver hair exposed from the brim reflected a stream of light under the street lights.
Although he had just walked off the back seat of this large vehicle, he did not have the same flavor. The man's temperament, whether it was his clothes, his deep and sleek appearance, and his every move revealed a style that was not in line with the times. Compared with this new and tough-looking vehicle, "foresight", he may seem more suitable to sit in a carriage of the old era.
The citizens of Catris may not know who the mayor is, but there is absolutely no one who does not know him - Cruise François, as the dean of Catris Academy and the general head of the talent dispatch agency, is well-known to everyone.
"Cruce François, he should be one of the top magicians in the Dominion." Curt recalled the information on Cruce, "and his background is very strong. The François family was a famous family among the early settlers of Catris, and he was the master of this generation."
"At the age of twenty-five, he graduated from the Element Department of Katris College and stayed at the school as a lecturer in the Element Department. At the age of thirty-three, he achieved outstanding research results in the Air Department of the Element Department, and was awarded the title of "Twelve Directions". Almost ten years ago, the upper-level council of the college decided to grant him the position of dean of the college."
The few people who were with him seemed to be related to the college. Curt saw Kaffir Taturis, the "examiner" who was conducting the entrance examination at a glance. Afterwards, he heard from his elder sister that this amazingly raised big guy was the senior manager of the college. He was almost shocked.
Today he was still wearing the clothes he had when he met Curt and Liqi. His sturdy figure stood next to the same huge "foresighter", which unexpectedly contrasted. By comparison, the ordinary people around him seemed full of inexplicable incongruity.
"Speaking of this, although I have read a lot of reports about Cruise François before, this is the first time I have seen the real-life version of the 'Twelve Directions Wind'." Curt aimed at the few people in the distance with a little playful look, and talked to Liqi through the soul connection. "It's better to see it at first sight. This guy looks really powerful. The magic that fills the body is not something that ordinary magicians can achieve, right?"
He hid his breath in the dark, while Liqi was in a soul form that ordinary people could not observe with their naked eyes, and occasionally other apprentices passed by. None of the people located nearly a hundred meters away noticed that two pairs of eyes were peering at their location.
Liqi seemed disdainful of this: "Who, what about the 'Twelve Directions Wind'? Aren't he afraid that this title is too exaggerated to cause trouble for himself? Or is it that in ancient times, hundreds of years ago, I would be embarrassed to claim his name without a strange nickname? If this is true, you can consider raising the nickname of the 'raven' when you go on a mission in the future to scare people."
When Curt's expression suddenly froze when he heard the word "raven".
The period he once called this name was so long that he almost stuffed it to the bottom of the storage cabinet. How long ago was that, his memory of it had become blurred, and Curt was unwilling to dig up those experiences again.
"You can't say that. After all, this is the title awarded by the Central Institute of Magic. At least it proves that he is still a little powerful, right?" Although Cruise François couldn't hear it, Curt felt that it was not a good habit to say bad things behind his back, so he immediately smoothed out.
"I'm right, you probably understand." But Liqi seemed to be unreasonable. "Based on the Oscar level, if you give enough resources and development conditions, it is not impossible to reach his level. But in this way, it is called the King of Wind, and the people from the Institute..."
"Okay, OK, this matter has come to an end for the time being, I'll go over and take a look." I feel that Liqi's mercilessness is about to become a habit. Curt, who was amused and crying by her unconscious mockery, had to interrupt her long speech, "After all, as a parent of a student, it is necessary for me to care whether the living and learning environment of my lovely sister is safe, right?"
After saying that, he walked out of the shadows under the shade of the tree, pretending that he was attracted by the explosion now, and slowly approached the art building separated by roadblocks.
