E - Rank Hero In Another World
Chapter 113 - Head of the Academy

"So, do you know those names?" Ask Roselia again. Trying to force Leo to answer.

The answer came out of Leo's mouth.... Quite different from what Roselia thought.

"I don't know, I just forged the title myself. But clearly, I just want to help all the residents in this town." Answer Leo.

Hearing that answer, Roselia appeared silent. Slightly glanced towards that Leo who was next to him.

"Is that so?" Ask Roselia again.

"Like that. If I hadn't moved a few weeks ago...."

"Leo, come with me." Said Roselia while interrupting Leo's words.

He immediately stood up and walked out of his study. Leaving Selene, Reina and also Luna in this place.

"You guys wait here for a second. Me and Leo have a certain business." Roselia.

The three of them only nodded their heads lightly while showing a slightly bewildered facial expression.

While Leo just keep walking following the steps of Roselia.

Where are they going? Is Roselia going to turn him over to court? Stole him? Wh-wh-what for? Because of the falsification of his name?

Those thoughts kept coming through Leo's head. Until finally, after exactly 10 minutes walk to a magnificent and large room....

'Kreeek!'

Roselia opened the large wooden door slowly with her right hand. But still with his easy attitude.

And behind that door, there was a fairly large table with piles of books and paper on it.

The figure of an elderly woman, who may be over 70 years old, was seen sitting while reading some files in front of her.

"Well, Roselia. Tumben, you came to see me?" Said the old woman while giving a friendly smile.

But Roselia didn't answer. He kept walking closer to the woman.

While Leo himself can only be amazed by what is in this room. Calling it a workplace seems too dismissive, given the large number of bookshelves that are filled to the brim in this room.

When his attention is distracted....

"So that's the person you raised as a student?" Ask the old lady again.

"Yes." Yeah." Reply Roselia briefly.

After that, he immediately introduced the figure of the old woman.

"Leo, he is the head of this academy. You may rarely hear or see Him, so I'll introduce you. Professor Bernadetta von Rustellia. And also my stepmother." Roselia.

Instantly, Leo's attitude immediately began to change. He became a little tense with this situation.

'The real one?! It's bad!' Shouted Leo in his heart while staring at that beautiful marble floor.

Various negative thoughts have begun to fill Leo's head at this time. And for the worst, maybe he'll blow this place up and run.

But nevertheless....

"Leos.... Student of Roselia." Leo introduced himself as he began to kneel. It was a natural attitude to face a great noble.

With a wave of his right hand that looks wrinkled, Bernadetta seems to call himself.

"Son, there's no need to act like that to me. I'm just an old woman who happens to be authorized in this academy." Reply Bernadetta with a smile that is so gentle and friendly.

He then invited Leo to sit in a chair in front of his desk.

Not only that, the old woman even gave a treat in the form of warm tea. In a slightly unique way.

Some wooden puppets were seen walking slowly towards where they were sitting. Together with them was a set of cups and poci for them to drink.

Not to forget also some light snacks to accompany their chat later.

'Krek kreekk!'

Hearing the words from Bernadetta, the wooden doll seemed to slightly nod its head several times before going back to the corner of the room.

Of course Leo who witnessed all the events looks so interested. Even imagining its potential.... Leo was already able to see an infinite variety of opportunities with that magic.

As if knowing what was in Leo's mind, Bernadetta seemed to offend him.

"You interested?" Asked the woman anyway with her friendly smile.

"That's how...." Reply Leo nervously.

"According to my daughter's words, you are truly a student who thirsts for knowledge." Said the old woman while glancing towards Roselia.

But Roselia just sat down casually while enjoying that warm tea.

After a while, Bernadetta spoke again. But now it enters the main topic of this meeting.

"Before, I thanked you for helping our family handle the problems in this city."

"Eh?"

Leo seemed so confused by what Bernadetta had just said. During this time, Leo thought that he would definitely get a severe punishment for his crime of killing the main family, as well as many employees in the town hall.

But these? What does this mean?

Before Leo could think further, Bernadetta seemed to continue his words.

"If you don't do what you did a few weeks ago, I plan to take over as the city's ruler after the situation worsens.

Although, I have no claim to the title of lord of the city of Venice, but I still have the right as a Rustellian family to take action at critical times. Like at the moment.

But nevertheless.... Your actions can't be allowed, Leo. How good you are to this city, you have killed one of the members of the Rustellia family. Therefore, I represent Duke Achibald to give you punishment."

The old woman began to speak quite at length, and all that was enough for Leo to explain everything that had happened to date.

The reason why no one is hunting him. And also the reason why many people let the action.

Perhaps all this was due to the intervention of Bernadetta herself as one of the real members of the Rustellian family.

It's just....

"Of course, I'm ready to accept that punishment. I did all of that on my consciousness as well as my common sense. So I'll take all the pay." Said Leo, now with a slightly more relieved feeling.

Despite knowing that this was a bad situation, her heart somehow felt relieved. As if.... Feeling most of his burden begin to disappear.

Hearing Leo's reply, the old woman seemed to nod her head for a moment. Before returning to talk.

"If based on Rustfell's sentence, you should have received the death penalty."

Instantly, Leo's right eye immediately opened wide. Surprised at what he had just heard.

'So it is.... Well, if I had to I'd still run away from here.' Leo thought in his heart.

He still can't die.

No. gabe.

He still cannot die at this time. Not before the Demon King, or at least this world became a little safer and more peaceful.

But nevertheless....

"Only, the death penalty is too stupid to apply at this time. Especially for a young man as good as you are. Therefore, this old lady had already done a bit of preparation during this time." Bernadetta.

Leo gulped his saliva after seeing that friendly smile back on Bernadetta's face. And a moment later ....

"I offer 3 solutions to your punishment and death problem. Now, which one will you choose?"
