Academy's Second Seat [part 2 Complete]

Chapter 243: Past and Future (10)

"Rudy, what do you want to do?"

"Heh, since we've also received help from the guy, we should do as he says."

McDowell said, looking at Cromwell, who was frowning.

"That's true, but... It would have been fine if Rudy had asked for help in inheriting the family, but he's asking us to help Ian."

"He must have his reasons for asking for help. He must be unable to speak because there's a special circumstance."

Originally, the academy did not interfere in politics at all.

Whether it was the principal or an ordinary professor, they never got involved in political matters.

Yet, McDowell was now exerting influence in politics.

The Royal army's inspection and search of goods and people.

McDowell had actively supported this.

Even though it was Ian's opinion, everyone around Rudy had also shown their active support.

"It looks like he's planning something, asking others for help as well."

"Hmm... Alright. I'll be heading back for now. Please take care of Rudy Astria."

"Understood."

Neither the vice-principal nor the principal of the academy could afford to be away for a long time.

Cromwell was preparing to return to the academy.

After packing some of his belongings, Cromwell stepped outside and looked around.

"Spring is about to come."

Flower buds were starting to form on the trees, and green leaves were present.

Winter was passing, and spring was approaching.

The academy had a lot to do when spring came.

They had to prepare for the admission of new students, and before that, there was the graduation ceremony for the third-year students.

"It's going to be busy."

With that, Cromwell sighed and was about to depart for the academy.

"Cromwell."

Then, a voice was heard from behind.

"...Robert?"

As Cromwell turned around, he saw Robert wearing a hood.

"Why are you here... No, what about the necromancers?"

Robert approached with a smile.

"The necromancers have been dealt with."

"Then you should have contacted us. Or, does anyone else know?"

"No one knows. If it got out to too many, Perrian Astria might find out, so we're keeping it hidden for now."

"I see... But, why are you here... No, what have you been doing all this time?"

It had been more than a fortnight since Robert had gone to deal with the necromancers.

It shouldn't have taken that long to deal with the necromancers.

"I went to see my wife and son."

His wife and son.

That meant he had visited their graves.

"Ah..."

Cromwell did not ask further.
