Walking into Hogwarts, linda had little stars in her eyes completely forgetting her current situation
In her opinion, its outside appearance made its interior suffer a great Injustice.
Just entering the lobby or main hall, she couldn't help but pause to admire its fine details
With all sorts of beast's pelts hung on the wall and its unique arrangent of furniture, linda sensed a sowhat rustic feeling from the whole setting
However little did she know, her reaction was seen in Elric's eye
"Haha, it's not too bad right?"
"Tomorrow I'll let George over there give you as well as your companions a complete tour of the surroundings"
With a smile on his face, Elric gave a light chuckle as he said this
Hearing Elric say this, linda who was busy admiring her surroundings suddenly stopped her tracks.
Thinking of Elric's words just now, she felt like she had a question mark hovering over her head.
Obviously, judging from his body language after they entered the building Elric didn't seem to regard them as prisoners, rather he made jokes from ti to ti helping to lighten the mood.
Could it be that she read Elric wrong, and he never planned on harming them?
Unfortunately, no one was there to answer her questions
George on the side was busy giving the apprentice wizards high fives congratulating them on their first successful mission.
while Alvin just walked slightly behind Elric with a sowhat gloomy expression on his face.
*Sigh… I wonder if I did anything wrong, could it be that I wasted too much ti capturing them?*
Lost in thought Alvin didn't say anything, rather he just kept walking chanically behind Elric
Soon different from the earlier easing atmosphere, a faint depression started to set in as Alvin and lindas various thoughts ran through their mind.
Seeing this, Elric knew it was ti to send them all to rest while he dealt with Alvin's probably
Hopefully, once the Amazons are rested, they'll be more cooperative in answering his questions tomorrow
Thinking of the possibility of adding a bunch of super-strong wizards to his tally, Elric felt inexplicably excited
However, he knew he couldn't make it obvious
Judging from the hatred in their eyes whenever they look towards Alvin, Elric took this as an opportunity to play the classic good cop bad cop, only this ti he was the good cop and Alvin the bad cop
Considering this, Elric decided to quickly send them to rest while he still retained a good cop image in their minds
*Clap!*
"Alright George, go lead them to the extra rooms to stay for now. Thankfully during the earlier expansion, the sleeping quarters was one of our main focus"
Clapping loudly, Elric said this as soon as he got everyone's attention.
"You've got it young master! I'll make sure everyone gets a room as soon as possible!" With a salute, George gave a playful smile as he responded to Elric's words
Thankfully, it seed that the current mood wasn't so bad, but after showing a bit of unwillingness and caution toward their new surroundings
Everyone including linda fully cooperated with George and followed him without any problems or complaints
Soon ti passed, and before Elric knew it only he and Alvin were left alone standing there
And looking at Alvin in front of him, Elric had a sowhat complex expression on his face.
During all the ti they were in the school, Elric sensed the strange aura being emitted from Alvin more and more and after reconnecting him to the small world, Elric could be hundred percent sure it was the sa aura Ristarte emitted back then
Thinking of this, only one possible scenario could have occurred leading to the current situation
Rembering his conclusion after multiple analysis with the A.I. chip, Elric's face gradually beca dignified
"Alvin!"
Looking at soone who had followed him all the way till now, Elric decided to let him know what was going on before deciding on the next course of action
And Alvin, after Hearing Elric call out his na, was practically sweating bullets as he wondered what he had done wrong
*Could it be that the young master is finally going to tell what is going on?*
Unfortunately, what Elric said next was sothing he couldn't imagine in his wildest dreams
"Alvin I'm sorry to say this, but it seems that during the last battle, you sohow got infected by Ristarte"
"And according to my calculations, you're currently showing signs of demonising!"
*Boom!*
Hearing this, It was as if a bomb was set off in Alvin's head
Infected?
Demonised?
Could it be that he was about to beco a Demon like Ristarte and attack everyone?
Thinking of all this, Alvin suddenly felt like his world was about to fall apart
Obviously, just yesterday he had imagined Elric praising himself for a successful job done concerning the war.
Unfortunately rather than a comndation, what he got was no different from a condemnation, because Alvin knew that the chances of him still staying around everyone when he had the chance of becoming a Demon at any ti were close to nil.
And if his guesses were correct, Elric would most likely banish him from Hogwarts away from everyone.
Drooping his head in sorrow, Alvin knew it was over for him.
And Elric seeing Alvin like this just remained silent, after all, he could imagine a lot of thoughts were going through Alvin's mind after receiving such information
"...."
Soon, all that was left between them was silence.
However, just when Elric thought Alvin would spend a few more minutes digesting the information, Alvin suddenly spoke up looking at him with a serious face.
"Young master, I know that you might have your reasons you believe so"
"But can you tell why you think I might be infected?"
Although Alvin knew Elric had his reasons for saying so, he was still unwilling to accept the fact
And Elric hearing Alvin ask this question just sighed, obviously he was expecting such an answer
Now looking at Alvin who was on the brink of despair, Elric answered him even if he knew that this might make him feel worse
"Alvin, you wonder why I'm so sure your demonising"
"well then, just look at your right palm!"
