Second day, Monday.
The first class was Meditation class. The meditation teacher walked in, just about to arrange meditation when suddenly noticed a vacant seat.
"Where is Mier? Why didn't he come?"
Mier's friend hurriedly replied, "Mier had some trouble and went to the hospital to recuperate. He'll be back at school in the afternoon."
The meditation teacher frowned, "What happened?"
"I don't know the specifics, but he said it's not serious."
"Did he apply for leave?"
"He already applied for leave with Ms. Alina."
"That's good, now let's start the meditation class..."
"..."
Hilia looked at Mier's seat in confusion and realized it was indeed empty, and he hadn't come to class.
"No wonder it's so quiet today."
What trouble did he encounter?
Hilia wasn't very clear.
It wasn't until after the meditation class, other classmates also wanted to know about Mier's situation.
Someone seemed to know some insider information and told the other classmates, and it quickly reached Hilia.
"It's said that Mier apparently went crazy and ran to report to the Law Enforcement Team's teacher about the seniors' flight competition, leading to all participating seniors being arrested. After they came out, the investigation found it was Mier who did it, and yesterday, they beat up Mier, almost killing him."
Hilia was shocked.
"Is he crazy?"
Hilia suddenly thought of something and asked Rose in the Spiritual Space, "Lord Rose, did you already know he was going to report?"
Rose smiled slightly, "I didn't know."
I don't believe you.
Of course, Hilia didn't believe it.
Because at that time, Rose didn't use Spiritual Power to drive her flight, but let her fly freely until she passed through the encirclement formed by the Law Enforcement Team's teachers, then controlled her and the Flying Broom to fly rapidly.
This was clearly in anticipation of the Law Enforcement Team's move. If he didn't know in advance, why would he guard against it?
Hilia suddenly thought of another person in the competition who was also flying slowly, "That person who wasn't flying recklessly, wasn't that Mier?"
"No." Rose shook his head.
"Then who was it?"
"Mier's brother."
Hilia suddenly understood, "I see, Mier's brother participated in the flight competition. Mier reported to the Law Enforcement Team on purpose so that his brother could take first place, so he reported it to the teachers, causing other participating seniors to be arrested, creating conditions for his brother to take first place."
"The process was all wrong, the result was all wrong." Rose laughed. "It was Mier who reported first, and then his brother participated."
"Huh? Why?"
Hilia was puzzled, suddenly, she glimpsed Anarce, and a spark of inspiration struck her. An impossible idea emerged.
"Could it be that he knew I was participating, so he reported it to the teachers?"
Rose smiled without speaking.
"Is it really like this?"
Hilia instantly felt disgusted.
This was intended to remove her qualification as the Holy Daughter.
Damned Mier.
Damned Doris!
...
Noon.
Near the gate of the Divine Magic Academy, Hilia slowly descended on a Flying Broom.
"Going out of the school?"
She asked Rose.
"No need."
Rose gave her a route around.
"Just follow this route for a lap, no need to go to the Forbidden Forest."
"All right."
If the magic puppet couldn't stay too far away from the controller, else it would lose connection, otherwise Rose would have wanted to investigate himself.
The distance between the magic puppet and the controller depended on the controller's Spiritual Power strength and control power.
In terms of Hilia's Spiritual Strength, the theoretical limit was 1000 meters, but to control it stably, about 100 meters was the limit.
Of course, there's a disconnect prevention rune in the magic puppet's runes, if it leaves a certain distance, the Heart of the Magic Puppet senses a weakening connection, it will alert the controller, and then try to return along its original path.
If all efforts failed, it would send a signal through the star apparatus, then enter a sleep mode, waiting for the controller to wake it.
Or if a "home" was set, the magic puppet would try to return home.
Rose attempted controlling the magic puppet farther from Hilia, ultimately realizing the magic puppet's distance wouldn't impact his investigation range, only affecting the puppet's investigation range. His Spiritual investigation range remained unchanged, still centered on Hilia.
As Hilia flew around the Divine Magic Academy, Rose also stretched his Spiritual Power to its fullest, repeatedly scanning the surroundings.
Although affected by Hilia's Spiritual Power strength, the scanned range was relatively small.
"A few hundred meters around the school, I wonder if I can detect any clues..."
Rose couldn't guarantee it.
But if there were indeed traces, he could guarantee to find them.
He had seen the heretics of the Deep Sea Mutual Aid Association when Hilia brought them to the Holy Court there. He recognized the unique marks of these heretics.
According to the current Holy Court, it was called 'pollution,' according to Rose, it was Abyss's special Magic Power.
The Abyss exists in this world but is more like a paradise for losers. Once when playing a game, the Abyss was merely a mid-stage crisis, all perished before the latter stage.
"Would the Deep Sea Mutual Aid Association dare to take action around the school?" Hilia also expressed doubt.
"That depends on the courage of the Deep Sea Mutual Aid Association. If they're scheming big, not just the school, they'd dare to blow up the Holy Court headquarters."
Of course, whether they could blow it up is another matter.
"Blowing up the Holy Court headquarters? Impossible..."
"There's no such thing as impossible."
Since they're believers of the Evil God's sect, yet still dare not deeply believe in a genuine Evil God, only one they created themselves, whatever actions they make would not be surprising.
"Huh? Hilia?"
While talking with Rose, Hilia suddenly heard someone calling her.
She turned her head and saw Alina with some school teachers beside the school's wall.
"Good afternoon, Ms. Alina."
"What are you doing here?" Alina flew over on her broom and inquired.
"I just finished eating, taking a walk, practicing flying."
"Really?" Alina scrutinized Hilia, lowering her gaze, she saw the magic puppet following her, and exclaimed, "You made a magic puppet?"
Hilia nodded shyly, "Yes, I just made it yesterday."
There was no Alina class this morning, and Alina did not know Hilia had made a magic puppet.
Now upon seeing it, she was instantly interested, landed beside the magic puppet, and examined it closely.
"Hmm?"
She scrutinized the magic puppet.
What's going on?
How come she felt like the magic puppet just glanced at her?
Alina was puzzled, she reached out and touched the magic puppet's body.
Huh? The magic puppet seemed displeased?
An illusion?
Alina had this thought flash through her mind, but she was quickly captivated by the runes on the magic puppet.
These runes appeared like basic runes, yet more mysterious and had a higher transmission and utilization efficiency for Magic Power, with simpler complexity than basic magic puppet runes.
Alina suddenly lifted her head, "Hilia, did you carve these runes on the magic puppet?"
"Yes, I learned all these runes from the books, is there an issue?"
"Are you... sure?"
"...Sure, I just made some small... modifications."
