In the moment when Io was about to be arrested...

“...... What are you doing? Agnère-san? ”

The head of the academy lowered his face and lowered his voice to make such a question to the young man in front of him.

Not only the dean, but also the students, professors, and guards present were stunned, looking unclear.

Everyone in the room focused their eyes on that person.

Concentrated on Luo Zhen, who walked out silently and stood in front of Io without knowing when.

Yes.

Luo Zhen stepped forward.

In the situation that Yio, Yeye, Iluri, and Xiaozi and their party were all stunned, Luo Zhen stood up without hesitation as if he was ready to deal with it in advance.

"Accomplices of the rebels?"

Luo Zhen couldn't help but laugh when he met the head of the academy.

He smiled very indifferently.

"This crime is too hasty, isn't it?"

Luo Zhen's words made the head of the academy frown.

Hasty?

"How can you be in a hurry?"

The head of the academy looked directly at Luo Zhen, and his voice sounded with courage.

"In Professor Eliad's laboratory, we have found her research records, which clearly record that she was secretly studying the magic of domination such as 'Absolute Kingship' behind the Academy's back, and also successfully equipped it with a device of 'Infinite Chain Reaction', concealing that the Academy had made such a major invention, but secretly provided it to the Crown Prince's notes, plus the Academy has found evidence of her private contact with the Crown Prince, combined with the current situation, the evidence is conclusive, and no one can doubt it."

This is an indisputable fact.

Io's failure to publish the "Absolute Kingship" and even provided the results of his research to Edmond are things that do exist, and even if you want to, you can't refute them.

But...

"It is nonsense to conclude that she is a rebel."

Luo Zhen was not afraid of the courage emanating from the head of the academy, and spoke straightforwardly.

"Professor Eliad never intended to assist the crown prince in his rebellion, and the reason why it has evolved into its current form is just to be used."

This is also a fact confirmed by Luo Zhen.

Io's original intention was not to assist Edmond in his rebellion, but to make "Absolute Kingship" and "Infinite Chain Reaction" a deterrent force to prevent a world war, so he fell for Edmond and provided him with the research results, only to be betrayed, and until now he has not accepted this cruel fact.

"Therefore, Professor Eliad is also a victim, and the charge of rebellion cannot be pressed on her head at all."

Luo Zhen said this openly, which made all the people around him commotion.

In this regard, the head of the academy only raised one hand to stop the commotion of the audience.

Then, the head of the academy looked at Luo Zhen fixedly, and spoke slowly.

"This is nothing more than your personal statement, and as a testimony, it is not strong enough."

The head of the house looks like a businessman.

"Besides, even if Professor Eliad is only being used, the fact that her research has brought a crisis to the Empire, and even to the world, cannot be erased in any way, and in that case, regardless of her intentions, it is still a crime."

There is really no way to deny this.

Just like modern firearms, the private manufacture and sale of firearms are not allowed by law, but Io's situation is not only to make firearms privately, but to secretly produce nuclear bombs, and cause this nuclear bomb to be obtained by terrorists and used to threaten the country, even if Io herself did not make nuclear bombs for this purpose, how can the law acquit her for this?

In view of this, even if he was not a rebel, Io still could not escape the charge.

Not to mention...

"It is the academy that gives her the authority to teach, it is the academy that gives her research privileges, and even the facilities and funds for research are provided by the academy, but what she did led to the death of the country, if the academy cannot take responsibility for this and give it the sanctions it deserves, then the academy will also be held accountable by the empire, and its survival will also face a crisis."

The dean of the academy spoke calmly.

"Would you like to see your favoritism against Professor Eliad put the Academy in an embarrassing position?"

At least, that's definitely not what the House Dean wants to see.

So, compared to Edmond's matter, the head of the house chose to take the lead in dealing with Io's problem.

Luo really saw through this, so he gave up continuing to attack Edmond and returned to the academy with Io.

Other words...

"Is the Academy going to sacrifice Professor Eliad to save itself?"

Luo Zhen suddenly smiled sarcastically.

"It's like what a good politician does, no wonder you can single-handedly win autonomy for the college, great dean."

Before the head of the academy could react, the people around him were all angry.

"Shut up!"

"It's so disrespectful!"

"You're an insult to the Academy!"

"Find out who you are!"

"You're just a student!"

The professors and guards around shouted loudly one after another, and even Avril put her hands on the saber at her waist, looking ready to rush up and take people at any moment.

Obviously, Luo Zhen's words not only offended the head of the academy, but also the entire academy's council, committee, executive department and guard team.

The head of the academy also sank his face and looked at Luo Zhen.

"You are a talented person with a bright future, and it is a treasure that the academy is proud of, but after all, you are just a student, recognize your own position, this is the government affairs of the academy with autonomy, not something you should meddle in."

The headmaster's tone began to become aggressive.

Pity...

"What if I have to meddle?"

Luo Zhen laughed fearlessly, but there was not the slightest hint of laughter in his voice.

Perhaps, even the head of the academy didn't expect Luo Zhen to be so strong, and his brows furrowed deeply.

"I've always thought you're a smart guy." The head of the academy frowned and said, "I hope you don't ruin your life because of a moment of confusion." ”

This is not alarmist.

If Luo Zhen insists on going against the academy here, then not to mention that the academy will become Luo Zhen's enemy, even the empire will regard Luo Zhen as an accomplice of the rebels.

At that time, Luo Zhen will be a major power that is ready to provoke the world without his own strength.

"You still have a bright future, and you have a great hope of becoming a demon king, if you do against the academy here, you will be deprived of your student status, cut off your participation in the night party, and let everything leave you."

The head of the academy said very solemnly.

"Is that what you'd like to see?"

One by one, the questions were thrown out by the head of the academy and thrown to Luo Zhen.

In the face of all this...

"That's enough, Lorelei-san."

Before Luo Zhen could say anything more, Io, who had been standing behind him with a pale face, finally spoke with a lamentation.

"Just let the academy arrest me."

Io made such a choice.
