A week after the incident at the academy, Oscar and Mabel come to the house and meet with Ria. After being explained by Ria her circumstances, the two were willing to help. Ria will also come with them to investigate the adventurer guild and return to being an adventurer accompanied by Altea who is tasked by Leon, Cathy and Rose to guard Ria, who is, the reason Ria joined because asked by Oscar to all register. After Leon, Cathy and Rose go to the academy, Ria, Oscar, Mabel and Altea go to the adventurer guild to re-enroll using their cards, except for Altea who is due to the golem, and Altea, he was registered to be Ria's familiar. As they were waiting for the officer who was registering them at the counter,
“Hmm here slightly different atmosphere.” Oscar.
“True, I also felt it since entering earlier.” Added Ria.
“Ria same, there are some people who see us, want me to finish ?” Altea asked with an expressionless face.
“Wah do not...they are just confused to see we let it be...” Answer Ria.
Inside the guild were many savage-faced adventurers who just sat down not working while drinking a drink in the morning, they looked at Ria and the others with a less pleasant look at the sight. Ria invites Altea, Oscar and Mabel to sit at the table, because at the counter they become the center of attention. Just wanting to get away from the counter, the attendant called them and said the guild master wanted to see them.
“Hmm directly invited to meet guild master.” Mumbled Ria.
“We'll see what it wants..” Reply Oscar.
They went upstairs following the counter attendant who was heading towards the guild master's room on the second floor. The counter attendant entered into a large door at the end of the hallway. Ria and the others waited outside, before long, petuga counter came out opening the door and asked everyone to go inside. Inside was already waiting for a middle-aged man from the cruel-faced human race.
“My name is baron Brody Kleinas. I am the guild master in the capital. Welcome to the capital guild, viscount Valeria Heinz sama.” Sweep arrogantly and smile cynically.
“Thank you baron Brody for his welcome, go ahead, what's calling us here ?” Ask Ria directly.
“Ah, before that I thank Oscar.” Reply Brody.
“Hah...what do you mean ?” Ask Ria.
“Oscar can describe ?” Added Mabel.
“Ah hahaha..same guild master Brody...” Oscar.
Suddenly Oscar immediately tied Altea beside him with a chain and used his electric magic to shock Altea until Altea became stiff.
“What do you do Oscar...” Shouted Ria while pulling out her sword.
From inside the room came many adventurers and warriors besieging Ria and Mabel.
“Once again I welcome Valeria Gretude Ingresia ojo tenka and Marvelius Weisteros Astarte oji sama.” Sapa Brody while walking up to the two with a sly smile.
Ria immediately turned to Mabel, because Ria knew the kingdom of Astarte was the kingdom of elves, but mabel was human. Suddenly Oscar pulled the necklace that Mabel was wearing from behind and decided. Mabel's form instantly changed, her ears became long and her hair that before her was black became blonde like gold, but her body enlarged and tore off her clothes as she turned into a male. Ria gaped at her, seeing her,
“Haaaah..you're a boy ? means...means..bathing time in the river our time is the same waaaaaaa...” Shouted Ria with a red face and hugged her own body.
“Aduh Ria, now it does not matter right...” Reply Marvel.
“Aaaaah...I can't get married..you've seen everything huuuu.” Shouted Ria while covering her face.
“Iya yes sorry....I was forced to disguise myself as a female human. I'm sorry.” Marvel to calm Ria down.
Oscar approaches the two, of course Ria immediately attacks Oscar, but Oscar turns his hand into a large black claw and captures Ria's sword.
“Sorry Ria, Mabel, don't hurt on me yes...I'm just looking for income hahaha.” Oscar.
“Awas you Oscar...don't hope I'll forgive you..” Ria.
“Please wait, someday, I will definitely kill you.” Add Marvel.
The soldiers and adventurers instantly subdued Ria and Marvel, they took both of their weapons.
“Bring them...ayo Oscar..we talk about your gift.” Brody patted Oscar on the back.
“That's what I'm waiting for the guildmaster.” Reply Oscar.
“Oscaaaaar Shouted Ria and Marvel who were being brought together.
Some of the soldiers also brought Altea who was already stiff and bound by chains along with Ria and Marvel. They still do not know they will be brought and forced to follow the soldiers.

Meanwhile at the academy, Leon, Cathy and Rose still did not know what happened to Ria and Altea. They were meeting Vince in the student council room with six other members. Sylvia was also present there, as she was one of the student council members.
“Leon similarly, yesterday the principal got a personal visit from count Aaron Karlsten regarding the death of his son Elrond who was a student at this academy and his sister-in-law Wendell. He held the academy accountable for his second death last week. Because he had a witness who saw our academy student kill him.”
“Hooo is so yes, aren't we just defending ourselves here ?” Reply Leon.
“Yes right, he who attacked us and even dared to kidnap me, actually Leon the same, Cathy the same, Rose the same meritorious, I will report to my papa, I will report to my father, I can't accept him as good as this, when they came to the throne he also voiced the loudest reject papa.”'s decision Sylvia added an angry.
“Sabar Sylvia ojo tenka. Count Karlsten did not seem to accept it and he left in a state of anger yesterday. That's why I call Leon the same, Cathy the same and Rose the same to commemorate you guys, chances are he'll do something we don't want.”
Vince and Sylvia immediately tell me that count Aaron Karlsten is a noble who is respected by the residents in the slums because he built the area. Though the contents of the slums were mostly criminals, bandits, con artists, murderers, slave smugglers and rare monsters. He is also suspected of being related to the kingdom of Ingresia and added testimony from Sylvia about the demon who kidnapped him and turned out to be the son of Count Karlsten, who was the son of the count Karlsten, now he is also suspected of having a relationship with the sect.
“Hmm was right too, yesterday before the pig died in the arrow, he wanted to say something...Mem...gitu.” said Rose.
“Memphis....” Reply Leon.
“I've just heard that name, can you tell me ?” Ask Vince.
Leon, Cathy and Rose tell the story of the incident they experienced at Skytower and the first time they heard the name Memphis come out of the mouth of a demon who when returning to his original form was a noble. In addition, the three also told that when Sylvia had just moved to Lindwurm, she was immediately attacked by academy students who could turn into demons, then it was found out that the six members of the student council turned out to be demons as well and they killed 40 students of the academy. According to Rose and Cathy, Wendell almost mentioned the name before being silenced.
“Hmm...so yes...” Reply Vince while thinking.
“To be honest, as in the city of Lindwurm, there is a possibility that they are also nesting in this academy, the proof is that the bandit adventurers can enter here and disguise themselves as students.” Said Leon.
“So you guys think there's a traitor in this academy ?” Ask a student council member.
“Not traitors, but rather they are based in this academy.” Reply Leon answered her.
“It makes sense, as we all know, this academy is covered by protectors, only students and staff who have the emblem can enter here, they can go in and get the academy uniform means there are insiders who do help them.”
“In addition to the arrow attacks in our class that lead to Sylvia the same, it is clear they are in this academy. No one can get in here right, meaning that archery is not possible outsiders.” Add Cathy.
“Huuuh..when the guarding of the academy is tight loh...kok can yes..” Said a student member of the student council.
“It looks like we have to do sweeping inside academy.” Add another student to the student council.
“Do not, we must not act recklessly, can harm everything.” Reject a student council member again.
Eventually they argued for themselves to determine what steps they would take in anticipation of this. While the members of the student council were arguing, there was a noise and bustling from the direction of the gate that was visible from the student council room. Curious, Leon, Cathy and Rose walked towards the window to look out, apparently in front of the gate, many people dressed shabbily as if they were besieging the gate, a middle-aged man who looks cool because he wears good clothes like a noble, is seen arguing with the guards who do not allow him to enter. No one could enter, as they could not pass through the protective barrier installed.
“Onii chan..see there....” Point Rose towards the wall on the side.
Leon and Cathy turned their heads, they saw some people in uniform jumping over the wall and into the academy area, inside they opened his uniform and threw it out through the barrier wall. Shortly afterwards there were a few more men in uniform going inside through the wall and then throwing his uniform out, they did so several times until there were finally about 15 shabby-looking and ugly-clothed people inside the academy area. Leon tells Vince and Sylvia to see for themselves what they saw.
“Wire, quickly gather friends friends who can fight and block them from the side door of the building..” Shouted Vince to all his members.
All immediately ran out except Sylvia, Leon, Cathy and Rose. They looked back at the window and the debating nobleman looked like it was on purpose. Sylvia noticed the nobleman from a distance and it turned out that she recognized him, according to Sylvia the nobleman was count Aaron Karlsten.
“As I said earlier, he is a hero of the bandits in the slums, it is natural that he deployed the bandit troops here.” Sylvia.
“This is wrong, making a protest at the gate, infiltrating deliberately into and bright light, it seems like they are diverting us from something.” Cathy.
“I also feel so, Sylvia the same, not far from me...” Added Leon.
“Aaaah Leooon samaaa Sylvia immediately embraced Leon's arm and made a very wide smile.
“Eh...I don't mean this..” Reply to Leon whose face began to reddish and frightened.
“Heeeeei...don't joke ojo tenka...lepaaaaaaas.” Shouted Rose while pulling Sylvia.
“Hey, why don't you guys come out ?” Ask a man standing in front of the student council room.
Leon, Cathy and Rose turned their heads, as soon as they saw who had come, they directly advanced in front of Sylvia and escorted her. Coming in is their homeroom sensei Jules sensei. Leon, Cathy and Rose saw a crossbow that Sensei was holding in his hand.
“Hohooo so who shot the arrow when it was you huh sensei ?” Ask Rose.
“Ah sorry I forgot to save her...” Jules directly aimed her crosbow at the three and shot a few arrows.
Cathy raised her hand and came out a semi-circular protector that fended off all the crossbows. Leon immediately jumped out of protective gear and pounced on Jules. But Jules disappears, when landing, Leon immediately turns around and sees the protector still on and Sylvia safe inside her. Leon ran out of the room and looked around, there was no sign of Jules sensei at all, he just disappeared like a yawn in the air.
“Kyaaaaaah..” There was a scream from the end of the hall.
Leon turned his head and saw a female sensei was falling down and the academy headroom was open, Leon immediately ran up to the sensei, who was just a bit too scared,
“What's sensei ?” Ask Leon.
The sensei did not reply, he just pointed into the room while sitting down and a face that looked very pale. Leon stood up and looked into the academy head's room. Leon was immediately shocked to see the head of the academy had died sitting on his chair with his chest and head stuck in arrows. When Leon enters the room, the sensei prevents him and he calls the guards. But from the outside, Leon enters the staff room with sensei and looks out the window, the gate is broken and the protector is gone, the crowd of people who before him could not enter, now run in and kill the guards brutally. It looks like Jules killed the head of the academy and opened the academy's veil. Leon stood up and intended to return to the student council room, he said goodbye to sensei,
“Sensei...I go..” Said Leon.
“Mau....where ? don't leave me alone.” Sensei asked the woman while fixing her glasses with trembling hands and feet.
“Ahh come with sensei, to the student council room...” Reply Leon.
Finally Leon who pulled Sensei's arm to come with him, returned to the student council room and locked his door. Leon and Sensei approach Cathy, Rose and Sylvia looking out the window.
