The always smiling and caring Harlet was a lie. He was planing on making everyone in the empire his slaves via magic, maybe with the use of: "Shadow Puppet" – a spell branded as illegal by many kingdoms.

But, for someone raised in the downtown area of Richard, it was really lukewarm.

Rather, the problem that Leo was facing now, was that he, unintentionally, exposed Harlet's true nature in a rather sudden way.

Leo's moral code is really strong, except that he loves money more than anything.

(S**t! This is bad! Really, really bad! It's like I'm challenging Harlet-sensei to a duel! But, how do I stop this thing!?)

The large screen is really loud, maybe because of the use of too much magic power.

In the auditorium, everyone that spoke Eland, were angry toward Harlet's evil remarks.

But the Harlet on the second floor was smiling like a doll.

"S-stop, magic! Stop!" (Tl/n: It's safe to assume that no one heard Leo's shout)

Leo tried to stop the spell, but it didn't work.

Usually, only the delivery date of bread is specified, so when the corresponding part finishes, the spell duration would end as well. And because of this, Leo didn't notice his own mistake when he was casting the spell. Everything, that happened five minutes ago, would be shown on the screen.

Leo wasn't a great mage or a sage, so he didn't understand how to stop it.

But, the conversation between the evil Harlet and Ahim wasn't over yet.

"In addition... today's presentation will be ruined by something else too."

"And what would it be...?"

"Fufufu...."

The Harlet on the screen smiled like a ferocious animal, which was completely different from his usual self.

"Finally, a part of the Bernstein faction seems to be moving. Those of dirt blood are as vulgar as ever, heheheh... but the best part is that they are easy to handle."

Bernstein, vulgar, dirt.

The entire auditorium was shocked this time, including those who couldn't understand the Eland language very well.

Some people asked: "What he said?"

And those who understood Eland explained to the others.

Soon, the entire auditorium was filled with shouts and screams.

Albert was the first to move.

"Everyone!!! Silence!!!"

When they heard his dignified voice, the people calmed down in an instant.

The prince rushed on to the stage.

"Leonora, is this really the truth...?"

"I would never, lie to you...!"

The spell wasn't over, so Leo was a bit surprised to see Albert so close like this, so he panicked a little.

But the unpleasant conversation between Harlet and Ahim was still going.

"To think that five years have already passed, since the day you became a teacher at this academy. At least, all this wait wasn't for nothing."

"True. When I think that I'll finally be able to wear something else, beyond this shabby robe, tears come out unintentionally."
