Chapter 383: Magnets for Trouble

Bloed was slightly surprised when Eve stepped forward as well, but he did not mind it very much.

Anyway, he was used to Eve helping him.

He did not mind it either when Eve and Regina used their killing intent on the man. After all, it was obvious that this 'teacher' did not come with good intentions.

Actually, even if a club loses its teacher in charge, the rules stated that the club must be given a period of time to find another teacher, and if after that, the club failed to find one, then the club has to be disbanded.

However, this middle-aged man ordered them to close the club directly. Obviously, he was deliberately causing trouble.

To be honest, Bloed was not in the best of mood after his conversation with the queen, and meeting this man worsened his mood even more.

Thus, he did not mind venting a bit of stress with this idiot.

With a snort, Bloed looked at the silver-haired Valkyrie and smiled coldly.

"Regina, introduce yourself."

"Understood." Regina nodded and glared at the middle-aged man with an icy stare. "My name is Reginleif Norman, a demigod. Currently, I am an honorary teacher of Academy City, and I'm also the teacher in charge of [Machine Revolutio]."

The middle-aged man's expression turned uglier after hearing that.

'Damn! These idiots gave me the wrong information!'

As a demigod, he knew about honorary teachers. Generally, powerful demigods living in Academy City received this title.

They did not need to give lectures, and they did not receive payment either. But if they wanted, they could start their own classes or take charge of a club.

However, not many people were qualified to be an honorary teacher. The people qualified were among the strongest demigods in the world.

The fact that this silver-haired girl was an honorary teacher showed how strong she was.

But if that was not enough, the golden-haired fox demigod spoke up after Regina.

"I'm an honorary teacher as well. And I'm planning to become one of the teachers in charge of Machine Revolutio. However, I did not know that you were planning to close the club, mister."

Eve's voice was completely emotionless, but for some reason, the middle-aged man found her scarier than Regina.

Fortunately, the middle-aged man did not know about Eve's identity as the former Saintess of Moonlight Glow or about the infamous [Bloodstained Moonlight], otherwise, he probably would have pissed his pants right away.

When Bloed saw the pale and sweaty face of the demigod, he finally calmed down.

He then signaled to Regina and Eve to stop intimidating him and spoke up again.

"As you can see, teacher, our club does have a teacher in charge of it. I wonder, could it be that you made a mistake? Should I talk with the headmistress to ask her about it?"

"N-No, it won't be necessary. Yes, yes, it was a mistake. I'm leaving immediately. I-It was a pleasure to meet you, two beautiful ladies. Until fate brings us together again."

With these strangely formal words, the demigod turned around and flew off like a scared bird.

He flew off so quickly that Bloed did not have time to send one of his dragonflies to follow him

Well, he did not dare either. After all, he was not sure if a demigod could sense them or not.

"Pffft!"

Almost immediately after the man left, Bloed heard someone snickering loudly, unable to contain her laughter.

When Bloed looked in the direction of the laughter, he saw Gina looking away, with her face completely red and her body shaking.

Around her, the other members of the club had strange expressions. Although none of them laughed, it's obvious that they found the middle-aged demigod's actions amusing.

After all, the man came acting all high and mighty and proclaiming that he was going to close the club, only to run away with his tail between his legs.

" That was Unusual" Princess Elwha said, gaining a nod from Liu Ying, Aya, Sara, and the others.

"Sigh, thank god nothing happened. I was a bit scared this time." Prince Calisto said while wiping off the sweat on his forehead. "I thought that he was really going to close our club."

"Yeah, I was scared as well." Liu Ying nodded. "Right, Bloed, since when Regina became a teacher?"

"Since a while ago. She could not be a student with her strength, but she wanted to stay as close to me as possible and help me with my plans, so the headmistress suggested making her an honorary teacher and putting her in charge of our club. It was a pretty good idea, so we agreed."

Liu Ying and the others nodded.

"Anyway, does any of you knows why this happened?" Sara asked.

Bloed and the others looked at each other unable to find an answer.

In fact, there were many possibilities. Many clubs would be very happy if Machine Revolutio disbanded. Any of them could have been responsible for it.

"Should I use my abilities to investigate?" Gina asked.

"Your abilities?" Bloed was startled before frowning. "Will it not be dangerous?"

Gina hesitated briefly and did not reply.

After all, her abilities over fate did not work very well against enemies much stronger than her, and the middle-aged man was a demigod. If she tried to force her abilities to investigate who asked him to close Machine Revolutio, she could suffer a backlash.

She could try to evade the information related to the demigod, but without using him as a clue, finding the person behind this was the same as looking for a needle in a haystack.

Understanding that it was dangerous, Bloed sighed and waved his hand.

"Don't bother. Anyway, it could have been anyone."

" Actually, I think I have an idea about who could have been. I offended the leader of my previous club." Eres raised her hand at that moment.

Bloed was surprised. But before he could ask her, Sara and Gina raised their hands as well.

"I think we did something like that as well"

" Yeah, they were very angry with us..."

"Actually, don't you think that it could have been the people that are going after me?" Princess Elwha suggested after Gina and Sara.

"Well, it could have been my fault as well. You know my circumstances, Bloed." Liu Ying also raised her hand timidly.

Before she could finish speaking, Bloed saw Prince Calisto scratching his cheek timidly.

"B-Big brother Bloed, w-what if it was the people of [Beast Brotherhood?]"

Bloed was completely speechless.

God, his club members were magnets for trouble!

Inside an office in the headquarters of Wings of Liberty, a young man was sitting at a desk with a dark expression as he held a communication stone.

" Sorry about that. It was our fault for giving you the wrong information."

[Hmph! Fortunately, I was lucky and these two monsters let me go after a light warning. Otherwise, I would have brought you to the tomb with me!]

"Don't worry, nothing happened so it's alright. I'll double the pay I promised."

[Good. Don't ask me for favors anymore. I don't think I suitable to help you.]

Without waiting for the young man to reply, the person on the other side cut the communication.

The young man put the stone on the desk and took a deep breath.

" Two powerful demigods, huh I guess that a club that caught the interest of the princess can't be normal."

With a wry smile, the young man let out a sigh before putting on a serious expression.

"Leonel."

"Yes, leader." A voice replied from outside the office.

"Investigate the clubs that have a conflict with [Machine Revolutio]. I want that information as soon as possible."

"Understood."

"Right, tell the people that are observing the club to come back. With two demigods guarding the place, they could be discovered if they are careless."
