Chapter 98: Chapter 63 Good Morning, Senior Schoolmate_2

Edward said from the side, "To my knowledge, this villa was initially meant to be a gift for Master Yanis. Although the master declined the invitation to be a guest professor at the Royal Law University, the house was still given to her. And then, the master re-gifted the house in her own name to her student, Princess Isabel."

"According to Her Highness's wishes... the villa is yours until you graduate.

Edward's gaze toward Aiwass contained some barely suppressed surprise and confusion.

After he and Aiwass had resealed and healed Yulia yesterday, neither had the energy to discuss Aiwass's meeting with the princess. He was completely unaware of what had actually taken place.

Aiwass thought to himself, your curiosity is only contained now because the painting from Master Yanis hasn't arrived yet.

When "Golden Dawn" is delivered to the house, you will probably come over specially to ask me "what exactly happened that night"...

But just as Aiwass was putting on a polite smile, covering up his own question marks,

Edward suddenly leaned in close and gave him an awkward hug—Yulia was quite petite, so hugging him felt natural; but Edward, who stood nearly one meter eighty-nine, now resembled a cautious giant bending down to look at the ground. Aiwass felt just by looking that Edward's back must be quite uncomfortable.

Big guy, what are you getting sentimental for...

Aiwass muttered to himself but suddenly felt Edward slip something into his arms discreetly.

His heart stirred, and he reached into his coat's outer pocket, feeling the shape of the object.

With only two touches, he immediately recognized what it was—

It was a handgun.

To be precise, it was the Elf-crafted handgun "Grip of the Lady" that Aiwass had used to kill the Evil Sorcerer Veronica, which had been confiscated!

"...Is the school really that dangerous?"

He whispered into Edward's ear, "Aren't the defenses at the Royal Law University on par with government buildings? Why do I still need to bring a gun to class?"

Two and a half months into the school year, his first day of student orientation, and he had a gun that had killed people on him.

Just thinking about this scenario made Aiwass feel odd.

But he didn't refuse it.

Now, he only had one "Enchantment Card: Blade of Shadows," and the Chapel Key for heavy attacks, still somewhat lacking in self-preservation and deterrent ability. Having a standard weapon on hand was always better, after all, being pointed at with a gun rather than with a key was evidently more intimidating.

"I don't know."

Edward replied in a deep voice with a quality answer, "But when I came in today, my instincts told me... something is off about the atmosphere here."

——This man was the head of the Supervisory Court in the capital, Glass Island! Essentially the highest-ranking official she had ever seen!

Even higher than Director Kent by a grade and a half!

Moreover, since the Supervisory Court is also in charge of disciplinary inspection and execution for corruption oversight, he was essentially the boss of her boss's boss's boss...

...Is it that the most formidable member of the Moriarty family isn't the professor, but Chief Inspector Edward?

Today, Director Kent had specially given her a day off, and she had planned to spend it reading in her dormitory.

But just a moment ago... when the Chief Inspector approached her with a stern face and showed his credentials to identify himself, Hayna almost urinated out of sheer fright—and that was not an exaggeration, she really did.

At that moment, Hayna's legs went weak.

At first, Hayna thought she had made some mistake in her work and was about to be dismissed and executed by the Supervisory Court!

—— I'm just a little inspector who doesn't even have a Gryphon assigned to me, having just shed my trainee status.

Is the Inspector from Glass Island personally taking a trip for this?

Basically, if someone of Director Kent's rank committed serious crimes like smuggling, treason, or murder, only then might it be a matter for someone of this dignitary's stature to personally issue a disciplinary notice... and even Kent might not be quite qualified enough, Hayna thought.

Not until she was told that "because of her helpfulness, sincerity, and lack of arrogance, she had a high reputation in school," and was asked to look after Aiwass and take him to class to meet people, did Hayna finally take a long breath of relief.

She felt her fingertips and chin go numb.

It wasn't until a good while after Edward had left that she could feel her heartbeat again. By then, her back, neck, and cheeks were all soaked with sweat.

There was no time to boil water for a bath; she just changed her clothes, wiped down a bit, and ran over here.

But Hayna's frightened brain was a total blank; halfway there she realized she hadn't changed her shoes or put on a coat, and hurried back to put them on properly.

Fortunately, she really ran quickly, so she didn't keep Aiwass and Edward waiting at the door for too long.

Actually, Edward had allowed her ample time to wash and dress...

If she hadn't turned back once, she would have definitely arrived early, and that might have displeased Edward since he wouldn't have had the chance to secretly hand the gun to Aiwass.

From this perspective, Senior Hayna was rather lucky...

"——Good morning, senior."

Sitting in the wheelchair, Aiwass silently adjusted the position of the handgun in his arms and, with an interest, looked at the senior whose mind seemed to short-circuit upon encountering an important person, and displayed a brilliant and friendly smile, "It's been a while... haven't we seen each other in two days?"
