148 Weighing the Situation (2)
“It was solely thanks to my teacher's excellent guidance.”
As Liliana spoke, she carefully sat down and planned on asking why the other party was looking for her.
But before she could speak, Grimm said, “It's impossible to have such significant improvement in so little time with Alina's classes… Tell me, did your father get you a tutor?”
Grimm's tone was as relaxed and casual as if he was chatting about family matters.
However, Liliana, who originally planned on asking the other party why she was summoned, didn't say anything.
She roughly guessed why the other party had called her over.
Noticing Liliana's silence, Grimm gently fiddled with the floating stone on the table before smiling and continuing, “If there's a powerful Illusion magic chanter helping you with your lessons, you might be able to introduce him to me. After all, the academy lacks talent in this area. Your father is now…”
“He's not my father,” Liliana corrected him in a calm tone.
Although she had the illustrious surname of Bergman, it wasn't a secret in the upper-class circle that Liliana was Vincent's adopted daughter. There were even rumors that she was an illegitimate daughter of the former chief of the Mage Hall. Of course, no one who had interacted with Vincent believed this.
Grimm raised a hand and said apologetically, “What I mean is that the policies your adoptive father has formulated regarding magic chanter education aren't relatively… in line with the traditions here. This has resulted in six mage tower leaders in the academy submitting letters of resignation in the past two months. If it weren't for the fact that we're short-staffed, your current mentor wouldn't have been transferred from the Shadow department to temporarily take charge of the Illusion department.”
Liliana didn't reply. She knew all of this.
In the past two months, most of the teachers in the school with the Astral Council background had chosen to resign and leave. Coupled with the intense manhunt for Moon Realm believers some time ago, it could be said that the entire Offa University had fallen into a complete stasis recently.
Looking at the other party's silent expression, Grimm smiled and continued, “Of course, let's put the recruitment matter aside for now. After all, even if there are enough teachers now, there probably won't be many students during the Star Moon recruitment season…”
Without the support of the Astral Lighthouse, there were no more people with magic affinity in Thorn City who had been enlightened in the past two months. Now, near the sealed Stranger Lighthouse, parents hugged children whose eyes emitted a dim light every two to three days and waited for the lighthouse to open up.
To many commoners, a child born with a magical affinity was the only way they could change their fate. Therefore, compared to some nobles, their cries for the reopening of the Astral Lighthouse were often louder.
“I called you here mainly to find out if your adoptive father had mentioned a specific time on when the lighthouse will reopen?” Grimm spread his hands and asked sincerely.
Probably never…
Liliana thought to herself when she heard this question.
The person who gave the order to seal off the lighthouse wasn't her adoptive father, Vincent, but William Kane, who pulled the strings behind the curtain.
Looking at the other party's eager gaze, Liliana—who understood the essence of the lighthouse—thought it over and replied, “He's been staying at the Rose Palace for the past few months. I haven't seen him much.”
In other words—I don't know anything.
The disappointed expression only lingered on Grimm's face for a short moment. He quickly resumed his previous smile and said, “Then, it's better to go back and ask him—even if it's for yourself. With your current improvement speed, you should be able to participate in the Expert spell grading by the end of the year… if the lighthouse can be reopened then.”
“Then, the next time I meet him, I'll…”
“When's the next time?” Grimm interrupted Liliana.
“There's not much time left, right? If possible, it's better to discuss this with him early.”
“Then tomorrow?” Liliana probed.
“Tomorrow is April Fools' Day. A lady of your illustrious status should not go out on April Fools' Day. Let's do it today. I heard from Alina that you don't have class today.”
No matter what, it was difficult to explain the disappearance of a student on Blackwater Offa University's campus.
Grimm thought as he watched Liliana leave.
However, if she left campus and disappeared, it had nothing to do with him.
What a pity. She's a talented child, but she has to become a sacrifice in adult politics.
With this in mind, he took out a Demon Sealing rune for communication from his drawer.
“Weighing the situation,” Grimm muttered to himself.
Not long ago, the Restorationists in the Rose Palace took the initiative to come into contact with him. They claimed to have found the former duke's son and hoped that Blackwater Offa University could provide some small help in returning to Thorn City's former order.
Participating in the complicated battles in the Rose Palace's palace didn't match Offa University's past neutral attitude. However, things were now different, especially when the brilliance of the Astral Laws could no longer illuminate Thorn City.
