Their world doesn't need gods.

Chapter 157: Roderick is in big trouble (2)

"What, what does this mean? Oh, and those tools..."

Cecilia laid out the bracelets and rings on the table before Roderick mentioned them.

All these bracelets and rings were placed in translucent bags made of slime gel, making them look like evidence.

"Are you looking for them?"

"That's right. Why did you take my things? Isn't this robbery?"

Roderick felt that he was in the right now and complained angrily.

"You think so, but we have gone through the formal procedures of the Illya Alia Puppet Master Academy and have applied to the school to seize these things."

Cecilia explained helplessly.

"Detain, detain? Why..."

"You, Roderick, violated school rules by not using the items that increase the puppet's command ability according to the regulations. You actually put them all on your body at once. What on earth were you thinking?"

As Cecilia spoke, she could no longer suppress her anger, and her tone became very angry. At the same time, she seemed to have a headache about Roderick who was still confused, and she gently supported her forehead with her hand.

"Is there any problem? Anyway, I can control those puppets, so there is no problem..."

Roderick retorted unhappily.

Of course, he had also heard that excessive use of this prop would cause a great mental burden on the user.

But Roderick didn't think he was the kind of ordinary person who couldn't bear this burden.

In fact, he had used this method to hunt monsters in the Warner Fairy Forest many times, and there had never been any problems.

"Can you control it? Do you know what the puppets you instructed did?"

Cecilia asked back.

"Huh? What can they do? I just let them hunt monsters."

"Let's not talk about the fact that you violated school rules and entered the Warner Fairy Forest to hunt monsters without school permission."

Cecilia explained to Roderick as if she was trying to suppress her emotions.

"Your puppets went out of control in the Warner Fairy Forest and attacked other students who were hunting monsters in the forest. So far, those out-of-control puppets have injured more than a dozen students."

"W-what? How could that be possible? I didn't give any such order."

Roderick made a strong accusation, trying to distance himself from the matter.

He had never given such an order.

Although Roderick felt that those students in the academy who looked down on him and did not flatter and please him as he wished should really die, he did not have the courage to really do so.

"That's why I say they're out of control."

Cecilia said.

"Eudora and Aeril have already led some members of the student council and volunteers recruited from the third and fourth grades to fight. Please be prepared that all the puppets will be destroyed."

Roderick was stunned when he heard Cecilia's announcement.

Then he slammed the table and roared.

"What, why?! Those puppets are all my things, and you, the student union, don't have the power to destroy them at will, right?! And if they are out of control, why don't you just let me order them to behave? Why do you have to send people to destroy them all!"

Although most of the monsters he placed in the forest were goblins and wolfhounds, which were no different from garbage.

However, in order to make them work for him more efficiently, Roderick also used a lot of monsters' magic cores on them.

If his magic cores were not recovered, Roderick would suffer a great loss.

Not only did we lose all our labor force in one go, but all our efforts from the previous week were wasted.

"Because we judge that you don't have this ability at all. In fact, before we tell you about this, Zimmerman (Roderick), did you know that your puppet was out of control?"

Cecilia didn't take Roderick's roar seriously and asked him back calmly.

"This one……"

Roderick was speechless for a moment.

"If you are dissatisfied with the Student Union's actions, you can file a complaint with the academy or even the Imperial Court. I will also personally provide you with compensation for your losses if you are successful."

Cecilia told Roderick calmly.

It seemed as if she was saying that this was all your fault, and no one would sympathize with you even if you made a lot of noise, so just admit your mistake.

This made Roderick even more upset.

(Wha-what?! It's none of my business. I just ordered those idiots to hunt monsters. Who knew they would lose control and attack other students? It's all their fault!

And the guys who made these props and the magic device. It's all their fault. It's clearly the things they made that are faulty.)

Roderick lowered his head and complained in his heart, not daring to look directly into Cecilia's stern gaze.

"Let's get on with the subject of these things. Where did you get them?

According to school regulations, each student can only buy three props of the same type at most. I don’t think Mr. Aldridge, who is in charge of managing these props, will violate the regulations and sell these things to you.

Even if you secretly purchased them from other students, twenty-seven pieces is too many. Our student union has not heard any relevant news. Could you have obtained them outside the college?"

Cecilia questioned.

Judging from her words, Roderick guessed that Cecilia might also know about the existence of the night street. If the student union knew that he went there every night to have fun...

"Yes, yes, Ku..."

For a moment, Roderick wanted to call out Curitis' name and put all the blame on him.

But he suddenly remembered that he still owed a large sum of money to Curitis.

If Curitis's name is mentioned next, Roderick will definitely bear a grudge against him. Curitis may ask Roderick to repay the debt immediately, or he may not lend him money again.

If things turned out like that, Roderick would be very troubled.

"Library?"

Faced with Cecilia's questioning, Roderick couldn't help but look away.

"Yes, it was Senior Lucius from the second year. I bought these things from him along with the giant dragon turtle."
