549 547 College Guardian Spirit (2/2)

”Really?

”Yeah. Think about it? Do you think the Spirit will take care of the values, crimes, and laws that humans have laid down on their own? The same goes for the guardian spirits of this college. That defensive ethic has nothing to do with good or evil. First and foremost, the safety of college officials as stipulated in the contract. Secondly, it's a high-priority human safety. Whatever the reason, the Guardian Spirit will not forgive the adversaries”

Moreover, the Spirit's surveillance network was not the only defence system.

”And I myself am built into a part of that defense system.”

Wiena Lane further explains to Fran and Ursi, who tilt their necks.

”Simply put, determine if the Guardian Spirits are hostiles and I will impose sanctions. That's the way it is. That's why I attacked Fran earlier.”

It seems that Weena Lane will have to deal with it, such as if an out-of-school person launches an attack on the college. They say that compulsion works in a contract with the Spirit, and they can't even stop it until the Spirit determines that sanctions are adequate.

”You can't deceive the Spirit's eyes, so in some cases you have to kill them against my will.”

The spirits are watching all their actions, and they're even going to tell if the spiritual spirits are reading and reflecting on the feelings of the enemy or not.

In other words, it meant that the degree of sanctions would be stronger against people who thought they would just sit down in shape and avenge them later.

The extent of that sanction also varies considerably depending on the position of the opponent and the degree of hostility.

If a hostile organization injures a student in the college, it's doomed without question. Just a favored opponent for the college. For example, to the extent that a graduate or the like was ridiculed by a student and raised his or her hand unintentionally, if only the form was apologized for, that would be the end of it.

In some cases, the college may be worse, but that doesn't seem to matter to the spirits who judge the degree of sanctions. Even if the other person was a saint or a felon, that meant that sanctions would be activated, even if that was the king.

”Keeping Ale, the evil man, in school was impossible without a title. Romeo's guardian wasn't enough to convince the spirits, he needed a temporary staff title.”

”Even Zero Thread, can you be an official?

”Oh, you don't mind if I'm a sinner?

”Mmm.”

”Right. As I said earlier, because the Spirit who judges it doesn't mean any law made by man on his own. Besides, if you took a lot of human lives, I think the number of people I put in my hands directly is hundreds of times the number of people I killed.

That said, Weena Lane flaunts her shoulder.

”I've been touring the world for a long time, and I've been on the battlefield, and I've fought against my country. There are still countries that are arranging for me to be a felon.”

Speaking of which, did you even kill a nobleman from another country who gave a little credit to the college? Well, they'll be hostile in some cases.

”Is that the kind of person who does the Dean of the Academy? Maybe not now? Well, the Spirit doesn't care about any sinner.”

As a result, Fran, an out-of-school person, launched an attack on Zero Thread, who became a school official, which meant that sanctions had been activated.

There's one thing I have to apologize to you for.

”What?”

”In order to weaken the sanctions against you, you misled the patron spirit Bertudy by deciding that you were an associate of the school. Specifically, it's called” Special Staff Insiders and Short-Term Integration Planners ”. It wasn't the treatment of an off-campus person trying to kill a college official, it was the end official who made trouble with the end official.”

I see. Is there such a way out? Having Alistair's letter of reference and actually acknowledging that Weena Lane was an associate, he was approved to treat him as an associate on the spot.

Apparently Alistair's references in particular are powerful. He said that just having this is enough to be judged problem-free if it's about a little assault case. That's why even Fran, who made that rather big case of attempted murder, said it was all about restraint, reflection, and apology.

For a moment, I wondered why you didn't give me that piece of information about Alistair, but I wouldn't have to if I thought about it normally.

You shouldn't be rambling around in school, or hostile to Wiener Lane, naturally. It's common sense in the world not to have to be cautious about being disrespectful to someone you're about to hire.

The same way that no one pays attention to acquaintances who go to interviews with large companies, such as ”Don't get violent at the company” or ”Don't insult the other chairman and piss him off”.

He said if you pass the interview, it's a story you can normally tell me, and you didn't even dare think you had to tell me. For once, if you have a letter of introduction, you'll be forgiven for some of it. I'm just a little sorry about this one.

No, it is. It's also a mystery.

”We also launched an attack on Wiener Lane...? You actually did some damage, didn't you?

You smashed your stomach with a heavenly break, and you wounded Ursi, too? Is that, from the Spirit, not subject to enhanced sanctions? In fact, you said it wouldn't heal if you didn't do damage, right? Now I know what that whining means.

”Oh, you told me first that I could resist, didn't you? That's why I'm treating you like I gave you permission.”

Are you saying that Weena Lane's permission made you treat me like a mock fight? I guess that means that Fran put up a line of prevention first so he could resist.

”But then you thought it had happened. Because Fran was stronger than expected. Well, it's because my master's support wasn't in the calculations. You can resist as much as you want, and you should have said enough to hurt me. The Spirit has ruled that he has resisted more than he was allowed to. I'm sorry.”

That's what I'm gonna say and keep my head down, Weena Lane.

Surprise attacks on Zero Thread are offset by some damage and restraint. The attack on Weena Lane is subsequently offset by the damage inflicted by Weena Lane. Fear for the students was also forgiven for apologizing afterwards. That seems to be the case.

But the problem remains.

”Special Staff Insider and Short-Term Integrator,” you said? Are you saying it's a decision already?

”Huh. That's the problem, isn't it? In the first place, if you think about what happened after Fran came to this college, you don't have any favorable elements. Even I'll make you a part of a flourishing college, tremble and thank you! I'm not even going to say anything. But so far, Fran is allowed by Bertudy because he has that title.”

'What if I refuse?

”... now I think the spirits will be dealing with them as well as me”

Doesn't that mean you don't have the right of veto after all!

”It's okay, because I can't just quit instantly, but if you work for about two weeks, the Spirit will convince you too. Short-term integration can be separated by that.”

No, if you ask me for an explanation, I can tell it was a necessary procedure, but something is mocking... I guess it's because they've decided on their own about Fran.

Still, not just as a teacher, but as an integrator? I guess that means we're gonna do the students, right? Are you okay with this?

But Fran at the time snorted lightly.

”Okay. That special......?

”Special Staff Insiders and Planned Short-Term Integrators”

”That's fine.”

”Fran, okay?

”Hmm? I was going to do that originally. Same as you passed the interview.”

Apparently, he doesn't have anything in particular to think about Weena Lane either. I normally embraced the story of Weena Lane.

”If we stay here, we can also keep an eye on Zero Thread”

”That's for sure”

Regardless of whether the opportunity for revenge comes around, I'm not going to give up here and miss it either.

”Besides, there are a lot of spirits in this college?

”Yeah, it's hard to find a denser place than here, huh?

”Then it would also be a training in spiritual witchcraft if you were here. So fine.”

”Ha... Good for you. Thank you so much. Now Ar won't have to be mad at me either...... Yeah, at least I don't mean to say I'm sorry, but I'll let you play the paycheck. Do you want anything else?

”... I want a mock fight with Weena Lane”

”Huh? With me? Nothing good...”

Rather, the majority of the reasons I came to this college are my interest in Weena Lane. I wanted to see the strength of the world's strongest high elves. And I could feel its strength, but I guess I haven't fought enough yet.

Wiena Lane is grinning bitterly, apparently not a battle freak.

”You look cute and you're not greedy”

”One of these days. In the meantime, thank you very much for your time to come.”

”Mmm. Nice to meet you.”
