Endless Silver Machine

After getting rid of the pursuers from the Bis Empire, the escapees did not encounter new obstacles.

Charlotte and Anjie took turns monitoring the route and caring for the wounded.

The extremely weak Lan Ming only regained a glimmer of consciousness during the journey, and then fell asleep again.

Aika and Wei Xi's injuries were not serious, but they were still breathing.

Ling suffered a penetrating injury to his leg, although Anjie's bandaging had stopped the bleeding, but his low fever still persisted.

"At this time, it would be great if Miss Luoluo could be here..."

Xia Luo had previously helped Lan Ming investigate the information of several people at Shuangyue Academy and knew that Luo Luo was studying in the Pharmacy Department because of his talent for healing magic.

The pain that Lan Ming and Ling were suffering could be quickly relieved by the presence of a potion magician.

The conditions of Aika and Wei Xi are completely unclear, because their injuries on the surface are milder than those of Lan Ming and Ling, but there is no sign of regaining consciousness.

"Does Miss Lolo have any connection with the Nemesis Society?"

"At least there is no connection at all in the information I have investigated before. The Nemesis Society has attacked them many times..."

Anjie said nothing. If Charlotte hadn't been so sure, she would have been prepared to express her inference.

She had suspected that Lolo was colluding with the Nemesis Society, but there should be no omissions in the information investigated by the "Azein" family.

Anjie didn't understand Aika's situation. If it hadn't been for being nearly hit by their car in the middle of the night, the two sides would never have crossed paths.

As for why Luoluo left everyone at the end, this is not a problem that Charlotte and Anjie can explain.

…………

In the early morning of the second day of the escape, the civilian airship, which had almost run out of power, docked at the neutral airport.

The docking application immediately passed the control tower in the neutral area. It seems that Shimozuki Academy has made arrangements for the escapees in advance.

"I am Phyllis, the principal of Frost Moon Academy. Thank you for bringing our students back."

Behind the tall woman with long silver hair blowing in the evening breeze, there were several special motorcycles parked behind her, welcoming the escapees from the Bes Empire at the airport.

Neither Charlotte nor Anjie expected that the first relevant person they met after arriving in the neutral area was the leader of the entire neutral area and Shuoyue Academy.

When the chestnut-colored short-haired woman wearing round-rimmed glasses stepped out of the motorcycle, Charlotte recognized this imperial nobleman whom she had not seen for a long time.

"Excuse me...are you Tara Caru?"

"Now I am just an instructor at Frost Moon Academy. You are the third princess's personal knight, right? We met when we were children."

The open book was suspended in the hands of Teacher Tara, and the windless and automatic pages shone with the light of magic.

It was the coat of arms of the "Kalu" family that allowed Charlotte to recognize the identity of Tutor Tara.

Tara Karu left the Bisi Empire a few years ago with the "Kalulu" family's magical costume "Omniscience", and it was only a year later that it was discovered that she had become the mentor of Frost Moon Academy.

Because of the absolute neutrality and inviolability of Frost Moon Academy, the "Founder of All Knowledge" was finally separated from the control of the Bis Empire, and the reputation of the "Kalu" family of the Fu family plummeted.

"You will be here, does that mean that all our actions are under the control of Shimozuki Academy?"

"We don't know anything about the situation before you arrived in the neutral area. The 'Omniscient Knowledge' can only predict the future of this area within twenty-four hours."

The book glowing with magical power closed automatically and fell into the hands of Teacher Tara.

Now that they have safely entered the protection range of Frost Moon Academy, there is no need to continue to monitor the future.

The ability of the "Omniscience" has no offensive power, but its threatening nature was ranked among the top in the Bisi Empire's magic equipment files.

"It seems that the preparations for the Pharmacy Department have been completed. All the wounded have been left to us to manage. Do you two have any objections?"

Of course, Charlotte and Anjie would not refuse, and there was no room for refusal.

…………

Before the sky was dark, the four injured people on the airship had been sent to the emergency room of the affiliated hospital by special vehicles.

Charlotte and Anjie only received the necessary treatment, and then were asked by Principal Phyllis about the incident.

"Really? I didn't expect Luoluo to choose which side."

When she learned that Lolo was in the Nemesis Society, Principal Phyllis was not as surprised as she said.

"Principal Phyllis, if our actions have brought trouble to this area, I can only apologize to you on behalf of Her Royal Highness..."

"Just leave the apology to those students who ran out without even saying hello. Moreover, letting Princess Lan Ming move in is only Shimotsuki Academy's responsibility."

"What's your job?"

Charlotte didn't understand why Frost Moon Academy had taken in the fleeing royal family of the Bis Empire. They should have upheld an absolutely neutral stance and made a fair and just trial.

Principal Phyllis smiled as if she had planned it.

"Because Lan Ming Yiela has been a student of Shimoyue Academy a long time ago, just like those little guys."

"Your Highness Princess...is a student?"

"Just wait here. I still have some work to arrange." Principal Felice turned around and left Charlotte, who had not yet figured out the cause and effect. "Just listen to the arrangements of the Pharmacy Department here."

Teacher Tara did not enter the courtyard with Principal Phyllis. She stayed in the driver's seat of the principal's car.

After Principal Phyllis returned, she started the engine.

The thick book wrapped in a cross-shaped chain is the outer form of the "Book of Omniscient", and it is currently leaning quietly on the side of the driver's seat.

"Tara, there's something important you didn't tell them just now, right?"

"What do you mean?"

"The Nemesis Society has sneaked into our place and had contact with the little girl from the 'Qianze' family. Didn't you see them all?"

"The more they know, the more confused they will be. It turns out that the more absurd the approach is, the greater the possibility of achieving the goal."

"Are you judging the mischief of those little guys this time? However, the results are indeed good."

"You also acquiesced to their actions. You had expected this result, right?"

Aika and the others used the aviation magic ship that was receiving supplies to sneak across, but they were unable to escape the eyes of the "Omniscient One".

When Teacher Tara told Principal Phyllis this information, she just said, "Even if I stop their actions, I can't stop them from thinking," and tacitly allowed Aika and the others to mess around.

"I really never thought that they could bring Princess Lan Ming back. The best outcome I expected was that they could come back intact."

"But classmate Luoluo didn't come back. Isn't it beyond your expectation?"

"The Nemesis Association..." Principal Phyllis said the name in a deep voice, "What exactly do you want the little girl from the Chise family to do?"

"What you don't know about, it's even less likely for me to know about it. As long as that strange organization doesn't enter a neutral area, I can't predict their actions."

The only person that Tara’s ‘omniscient power’ cannot monitor is Principal Phyllis. She is almost omniscient but cannot see through the woman next to her who has experienced a cross-border war.

However, Tutor Tara doesn't care much about this kind of problem, she just needs to complete her duties.

"Is the little girl from the 'Qianze' family very similar to your sister?"

"..."

Teacher Tara did not react to Principal Phyllis's words. She just looked straight and turned the steering wheel.

"It seems I shouldn't mention this matter now. I thought you had figured it out during the two years you were at Shimozuki Academy."

It was not difficult for Principal Phyllis to see her answer hidden in silence, so she could only end the question with an insignificant joke.

I don’t know if it was because of the “two years” that could be said to be a long time or a short time, but Teacher Tara slowed down the speed of the car.

The iconic clock tower of Shimozuki Academy can already be seen in the distance.

"Now that things have happened, there is nothing to avoid."

Instructor Tara put her hands on the steering wheel and leaned against the driver's seat. Her tone was full of nostalgia as if she was remembering the past.

The round-framed glasses reflected the light of the rising sun, making her expression look blurry at this moment.

"It's just... I hope Luoluo won't be like Lilicia."

When Tara Karu left the Bisi Empire, she had not yet inherited the family's magical equipment, the "Founder of Omniscience," and completed the contract after entering Frost Moon Academy.

The reason for leaving the Bisi Empire was simply to eliminate the heavy burden that the magic costume brought to his parents in various senses.

Judging from the results, the "Kalu" family retained the material and financial resources of the Fu family, but lost only the political voice that their parents were originally pessimistic about.

The second daughter of the family, Lilicia Caru, would protest against this and join the Nemesis Society, which was an outcome that Teacher Tara did not want to see.

Tutor Tara, who also broke away from the family, was not qualified to criticize her sister's choice, and the gap between the two became wider and wider, and they eventually faced off tit for tat over the fight for the "Twin Towers of Bis".

"This was my first thought after I learned that Luo Luo had joined the association. As their mentor, I really failed in my duty."

"Then compared with your selfishness, I may need to resign from the title of Principal of Frost Moon Academy to have a clear conscience."

Principal Phyllis knew about her relationship with the Nemesis Society, but Teacher Tara was not completely kept in the dark.

Otherwise, in the absolutely inviolable and neutral area of ​​the mainland, how could they have such unimpeded access as if they were entering uninhabited territory.

The two people who controlled the actual power in the neutral area and monitored the situation in the neutral area just laughed at each other's teasing, and neither of them pursued it further.

"Actually, I also want to know what Aika-san would do."

"The vision of the little guys is too narrow after all. They will only try their best to help their companions, but they will do nothing else."

"That's enough. Aika-san just needs to bring Luoluo-san back. Because I don't know how to save Lilicia, I want to know what he will do."

"His only advantage is that he can influence all the people around him. The little guys will definitely dig out the Nemesis Society if they dig deep enough. They probably won't be able to hide it."

"Nemesis is the name of the legendary goddess of revenge, right? But the purpose of that group of people must not only be revenge."

"There's no need to think too complicated. That association is just a heresy gathered by similar people with different wishes. That group of people can't even hug each other to keep warm."

"It's like a hedgehog..."

Teacher Tara found a suitable metaphor for Principal Phyllis's comments about the Nemesis Society.

The great barrier of Frost Moon Academy was opened to the two of them, and was closed again after the motorcycle passed through the luxurious gate.
