All-around teacher at the magic academy

Chapter 127 Analysis

Leon's steps were heavy, his body seemed to have been struck by a heavy hammer, and every step was extremely difficult.

He didn't bother to wash away the dust and sweat from his body, and threw himself onto the soft bed, not even having the strength to take off his clothes.

When Harvey left today, Leon felt uneasy. After hesitating for a long time, he followed him out. He felt he should at least make sure Harvey left Barton City safely.

However, the unexpected still happened. Leon recalled the knight he had encountered that day, his heart filled with doubt.

He could clearly sense his opponent's strength; that strength was not only profound, but also seemed to be holding back a great deal during the battle. Each of his opponent's attacks appeared effortless, as if they were testing the waters rather than going all out.

Leon made a silent comparison in his mind. If he used Lucas, whom he knew, as a reference, then the knight's strength today was at least several times that of Lucas.

Based on today's performance, he's at least as good as three Lucas. Could someone with such strength really be a captain of the Knights?

Leon's thoughts were in turmoil as he tried to figure out why the knight had appeared in Barton City. He hadn't seen the knight in the previous matches, which made him suspect that the knight had arrived later.

So why did this powerful knight suddenly appear in Barton City? Was he investigating the mysterious deaths of Duke Adams and his family?

Leon didn't have a definite answer, but he was certain that the situation in Barton City was far more complex than it appeared on the surface, with even such a master appearing here.

Leon shook his head, trying to put these questions aside for the time being. He decided to wash up before resting, at least wash his face, otherwise this feeling would make it difficult for him to fall asleep comfortably.

He got up and walked to the sink, turned on the tap, and felt the cool touch of the water. He caught the water in his hands, gently patted it on his face, closed his eyes, and let the cool water wash away his fatigue.

When he opened his eyes and looked at his face in the mirror, Leon worried to himself, wondering if he had given himself away.

From the start of the operation until now, he has been extremely cautious, never revealing his true identity. Moreover, the clothes he wore were ones he had never worn before, which he later burned, leaving no clues that could expose his identity.

Cough

Leon's body trembled slightly in the quiet room. He couldn't help but cough twice, and was shocked to find that his hands were stained with bright red blood.

This made him realize that when he finally fought the knight, the damage caused by the sword that the knight swung at him was more serious than he had imagined.

He initially thought it was just an ordinary energy slash. Although he felt a sharp pain at the time, he didn't pay much attention to it, assuming it was just a minor scratch.

However, it now seems that he was injured because of carelessness. Leon warned himself that he must never be so negligent again next time.

In such a dangerous environment, especially when facing a powerful enemy, any negligence could be fatal. He had to be extra careful and cautious to ensure his safety.

After washing up, Leon lay down on the bed, feeling comfortable in the soft mattress and warm blankets.

The tension and fatigue of the day seemed to be released at this moment. His body began to relax, and his consciousness gradually blurred. Soon, Leon drifted off to sleep and sank into a deep slumber.

...

"Captain, the Knights just encountered two criminals while on patrol."

A law enforcement officer knocked urgently on Max's office door, his face still showing signs of lingering tension.

Max looked up, his eyes instantly sharpening, but his voice remained calm: "What's the situation?"

"The criminal used powerful magic, causing chaos at the scene, which ultimately allowed him to escape," the law enforcement officer reported, his tone revealing his fear of the criminal's strength.

Upon hearing this, Max's shoulders seemed to relax a little, and his entire demeanor softened, no longer as tense as before. He leaned back in his chair and took a deep breath.

“Tell me the details,” Max said, lighting a cigarette. His voice sounded even more composed amidst the swirling smoke.

The law enforcement officer nodded, gathered his thoughts, and then began to give a detailed report.

"I understand, you may leave." After the law enforcement officers finished their report, Max waved his hand, his tone carrying an unquestionable authority, indicating that the officers could leave.

The law enforcement officer saluted and was about to turn and leave when Max added, "By the way, assist the Knights in sealing off the area and make sure the criminals don't escape again."

"Yes, Captain." The law enforcement officer responded and quickly left the office.

Max remained alone in the room, silently smoking, the smoke swirling above his head as his thoughts drifted away.

He pondered the report from the law enforcement officers and already had some guesses in his mind. The person they encountered at the beginning was most likely Harvey, the student Leon had mentioned, and the person who caused the chaos later was undoubtedly Leon himself.

Max smiled wryly, realizing that both of them had escaped safely. He thought to himself, "What am I doing? Am I secretly helping criminals?"

His fingers lightly traced the edge of the tabletop, finally stopping on the drawer handle. He slowly pulled open the drawer, his gaze falling on a neatly arranged letter inside.

He had secretly obtained the letter from Duke Chloe's study; he had already opened the seal and read its contents carefully.

He understood some of the circumstances through this letter, but he was hesitant about how to handle the matter.

The Duke of Adams's unexpected death was certainly connected to the Duke of Chloe. Max knew this, but he faced the dilemma of how to handle this hot potato.

He lacked solid evidence, and at this critical juncture, the law enforcement apparatus was not entirely stable.

The new faces in the enforcement team are all spies planted by Duke Chloe, and their loyalty will undoubtedly be first and foremost to Duke Chloe.

Max knew that if he acted rashly, he might not only alert the enemy, but also put himself in an even more dangerous situation.

These jumbled thoughts gave Max a headache. He rubbed his temples, trying to calm himself down. He took another cigarette from the pack, lit it, and took a deep drag.

The smell of tobacco filled the air, and Max hoped it would help alleviate some of his anxiety.
