The academy disciples of the various class years had already started to go towards where they would carry out their respective exams.
Meanwhile, in the academy head's room.
"Because all the students and staff who teach in their respective classes at all go, this academy becomes quiet huh," said one woman.
"Yes, you're right. But by the way, what are you doing here, sister?" asked Miss Karina.
The woman who was currently chatting with Miss Karina in her room turned out to be Her Majesty Queen Kayana.
"Can't I come here ? You do not need to worry, the figure who is currently talking to you is just a clone really," said Queen Kayana.
"This time you tell it first yes, but at the last meeting you did not tell me that you are a clone. But without you telling me, I already know that you are a clone" said Miss Karina.
"so yeah. Forget about clones or not, do you already know the motive of someone attacking one of the guards patrolling outside the academy?" asked Queen Kayana.
"The original motive I don't know is that the person who attacked him has not been arrested and he hasn't shown up again after the attack. Most likely, he wanted to infiltrate this academy to kill someone but not so because he was aware of the existence of detection magic around the walls of the academy. The person he wanted to kill was most likely Rid, although this was uncertain as it could have been someone else's target of killing,"
"You know for yourself if the students in this academy are made up of students with different backgrounds, maybe from different backgrounds there are those who hate each other like the nobles. The act of hating each other is usually an excuse to kill each other," said Miss Karina.
"Well you're right. Rid is most likely the target of that person because 'capture' Irene who should be a participant in ~Matchmaking Battle~ but we also should not ignore the presence of other students who may be the target of murder," the Queen of Kayana.
"This attack happened when I was not in the academy, which means the attacker was afraid to act if I was near their target. And since now that the disciples had gone to several different places to do the fourth exam, I was sure that the assailant would be in action again this time, this time, considering that I am not present to accompany them, especially the target who will be targeted by him," said Miss Karina.
"Hmmm so yes. You have expected that this attacker will act again in this fourth exam, so you ask more soldiers to escort them in the fourth exam this time," said Queen Kayana.
"Yes, sorry brother for asking more soldiers than before" said Miss Karina.
"It's okay, after all, this is for the safety of the students" said Queen Kayana.
"This time I will definitely know more clearly who the target of this attacker is. Because 4 years of force went to different places, if the attacker is acting in a place where the first year students do the test, then it is not wrong that the purpose of this attacker is Rid," said miss Karina.
"It seems you've planned well. Oh yes, by the way about the 'Storm Leopard' you discussed earlier. They said that they always patrol the San Lucia area every day and always clean up bandits or criminal acts that occur there. Instead they were surprised to hear your report when you said you were attacked by bandits on the way to San Lucia, because there has been no bandit attack in the area for a long time" said Queen Kayana.
"Yes, when I reported about it to their guard post, they were also shocked by the bandit's attack" Ms Karina said.
"And again, when they evacuated the bodies of the bandits after they were finished off by you. They do not know their identity or trace where they came from or trace the presence of other bandit groups above or below them,"
"So the conclusion I can make from the incident of attacking the bandits is that the bandits are new bandits or rather, they are not originally bandits but disguised as bandits. They seem to be told by someone to attack you as a bandit" said Queen Kayana.
"So you could say that the incident of the assailant by the bandits was not a coincidence but it was because it was planned?" asked Miss Karina.
"In addition to keeping your students from danger, it seems that in the future you also have to take care of yourself, Karina," said Queen Kayana.

The horse-drawn carriage continued to run along the streets of the Capital of San Estella until it finally came out of the gates of the Capital. Because the number of first year disciples was so many that there were 200 disciples, the horse carriages that brought us were also many. Each horse carriage contained 10 disciples, so the horse carriage carrying first-year disciples numbered 20 horse carriages. Not to mention the horse-drawn carriages carrying the teachers and the soldiers escorting us. I was in the first horse-drawn carriage. The horse carriage I was riding in contained disciples that ranked 1st to 10th in the entrance examination, so I was in the same carriage as Irene, Charles, Chloe, Enzo and Noa.
Along the way rather than get tired of waiting until we get to San Minerva, we decided to chat.
"When you go from your village to the academy, you go this way too, right Rid?" asked Noa.
"Yes, but I didn't pass through the town of San Minerva when I left because it would be further away. I passed through the city of Bibury to go to the capital of San Estella" I said.
"Bibury ? that's the town that Lillian's father led, isn't it ? I want to go there" said Noa.
"What a shame, Noa. To go to the city of San Minerva, we do not pass through the city of Bibury because the route used is different. After all, the city of Bibury is to the west of the city of San Minerva, while we to the city of San Minerva from the capital of San Estella just walk straight to the south" said Charles.
"That's it, what a pity," said Noa.
"As expected of princes in this kingdom, you know all the places in this kingdom yes, Charles," I said.
"Yes, you could say so" said Charles.

After a few hours of travel, we finally reached the city gate of San Minerva. We had to queue in advance to enter because the city gatekeeper San Minerva had to do an inspection. After the inspection, we all began to enter the city of San Minerva. We are also fascinated by the city of San Minerva, the city is very clean and beautiful. And on each side of the road overgrown with trees that make the city feel cool. In the middle of the city there is a fairly large fountain pool around which there are also trees. We saw in the fountain pool is also inhabited by many fish. We continued on our way to the Duke's residence while looking around the city.
After a while, we arrived at Duke San Minerva's residence, the Duke's residence was located south of the city of San Minerva. We got off our horse-drawn carriage parked outside the Duke's residence. Mr. Alan and the other teachers were seen chatting with the soldiers guarding the gates of the Duke's residence. Then a few moments later we were all welcome to enter the Duke's residence.
From the front gate of the Duke's residence, I could see a large building in the middle of the residence that seemed to be the Duke's residence. It is not as big as the palace of Her Majesty the Queen, but still the building is very large for ordinary people to live in. We walked from the gate of the Duke's residence to the large building in the middle. Along the way we looked at the courtyard which was filled with trees and there were flowers as well which made the residence look beautiful.
After that, we arrived at the building and were welcome to go inside to the living room. Arriving in the middle room, there are many dining tables and chairs and at the dining table has been served a lot of food that looks good. Some students seem tempted and cannot bear to eat these foods.
Not long after we all reached the middle room, a man who seemed to be 40-50 years old appeared from behind the other door while being escorted by several soldiers. The middle-aged man's head looked bald but the back of his head had long shoulder-length hair. The man walked gallantly without using a cane in front of our crowd.
"It seems that you all have come, O students of the new generation of San Fulgen Akademiya. My name is Darwin Randall San Minerva, I'm Duke San Minerva now" Duke Darwin said.
