The Dean Has Arrived

In the empty corridor, a man ran vigorously, ignoring the sign on the wall that says 'running and casting spells are prohibited in the corridor'.

In the long space, he could only hear the footsteps of his hard-soled leather shoes touching the marble floor, and his shortness of breath due to strenuous activities.

"Did you get rid of it..."

Claude hid behind a pillar, put his hand on his chest, and kept taking deep breaths to calm himself down as soon as possible, so as to reduce the chance of being discovered. This is what he has learned from being hunted down by various forces in Morag for more than ten years. Experience and Skill .

After confirming that his breathing and heart rate had returned to normal, and he was even a little more concealed than ordinary people, he carefully poked half of his face out from behind the pillar to observe the situation behind him.

Edric's castle is much bigger inside than it appears from the outside. Also because of this, the structure inside is also extremely complicated.

But it doesn't matter even if you don't know the way, the more complex the internal structure is, the higher the success rate of escape for Claude.

As for how to get out of this castle, there are windows every other section of the corridor, which is not a decoration...

Looking around, there was no one in the straight corridor.

Most of the classrooms in use are on the first to third floors, and the fourth floor is used as the office of the teaching staff and some special rooms. There are very few people, so it is normal to be so deserted.

Just when the thought of 'finally got rid of that guy' popped into Claude's mind and he was relieved, an emotionless voice suddenly came from behind him.

"The warm-up exercise is over."

Franken pushed up his glasses, the little charm Sofia had given him to hide his magic eyes.

Then he showed the shiny silver knife and fork in his hand: "Then can our experiment continue?"

"Go to your shit (paralysis, fuck mud horse and other street swear words. It is usually more common among punks) experiment!"

Claude's face changed, and at the same time, he rolled over nimbly and ran again.

"As a member of Edric... well, even if it's just research material... swearing is not a good performance."

Franken didn't seem to care about the young man's attitude of turning and running. He swayed his slender body to follow, and at the same time he didn't forget to preach to the other party.

It's easy to get distracted when talking while running, so Claude can only endure the smelly and long sermon floating in his ears and keep silent.

But he obviously underestimated the opponent's stamina too much... In a sense, there is no such thing as stamina at all unless the undead creatures like skeletons run to the dislocation of their calf tibia.

So he is tragic.

"What the hell are you...huchihuchi...what do you want...huchihuchi...to let me go!"

Claude, who was about to be exhausted from running, started to stagger and asked with a sad face.

"I'm just following the orders of the dean, and thoroughly and thoroughly research the disease called ghost disease in you."

Franken rattled the screws in his head. Said in a leisurely tone.

"The research you're talking about is vivisection!"

Claude, who witnessed the tragedy in Franken's laboratory, immediately yelled.

"Nonsense." Franken continued to turn the screw. Changed the tone to righteous words: "Even if it is a dead body, I will dissect it."

"You don't mean to deny it at all!"

While complaining loudly, Claude drove Franken into a narrow corridor without paying attention.

At the same time, green shadows stretched out from his hands, giving the impression that he had turned into a gorilla. Use both hands and feet. The speed of running suddenly accelerated.

"Since you are so unwilling to cooperate. Then I will tell you a secret."

I don't know if it's because the skeleton itself is very light and it's so easy to run, or because of other reasons, Franken immediately chased after it. Keep pace with Claude.

"Actually," he said with a serious face, "I am your father."

"You liar!"

With the help of Specter, Claude accelerated again.

Suddenly, two figures appeared in the corridor ahead.

Claude recognized the identities of the two at once. They were Edric's maid, Alice, and Sophia, who was currently acting as the deputy dean.

So he exerted his strength, jumped over the heads of the two and hid behind them: "Help, that lunatic wants to dissect me!"

"Professor Franken...Although I don't want to interfere with your life, at least in the days when Xi Wei is not around, please settle down a bit, please?"

Sophia looked at Franken holding up the knife and fork, and couldn't help sighing.

Hearing this, Franken stopped.

He looked at Sophia and Alice with a wry smile on his face, and then at Claude behind them, who seemed to be thinking about the next escape route.

"Professor Sophia, I'm just completing the task assigned by the dean."

As he said that, as if to prove his innocence, Franken rubbed the knife and fork in his hand: "Besides, do you think I'm someone who would dissect someone when they don't know it?"

The three people on the opposite side nodded without hesitation.

Franken blinked: "Yes, you guessed it right, so Mr. Claude come and let me study it."

"That, Professor Franken."

Alice smiled dryly and pointed to the knife and fork in his hand: "I think this one in your hand is more for eating than experimental supplies?"

"I don't think the point is that question..."

Claude complained behind the two girls.

After being silent for a few seconds, Franken showed an attitude of sudden realization, and then said in a still emotionless tone.

"makes sense."

So he put the knife and fork back into the white coat. Before Claude could feel at ease with the other party's action, a certain skeleton mage had already pulled out a chainsaw-like thing...

Because many specialized organs of creatures in this world, such as scales, claws, teeth, and horns, are harder than steel, and ordinary surgical tools are completely powerless, so Xi Weicai and Franken jointly produced this chainsaw-like , and its function is a magic tool that is no different from a chainsaw.

By the way, for some reason, Franken seems to like this thing very much.

"Isn't it even more excessive?!" Claude was ready to turn around and run away.

At this moment, a pearl-colored translucent figure floated out from the floor.

"What's the matter, Fate?"

Sophia asked, she knew that when the ghost girl was not in class, she would only show up in front of her when something happened.

"Xi Wei is back." The ghost girl pointed out the window: "Over there at the airport, if you go now, there is still time to meet him." (To be continued...)
