664 is second only to the chief position
The next day, the head of the Royal Karakuri Academy in Walph Urges made a message to all the teachers and students.
"Felix Kingsford, the chairman of the Discipline Committee, has been convicted of murder and secretly assaulting a large number of students as a 'Magical Eater', resulting in their lives and the destruction of automata."
"I, Edward Rutherford, in my capacity as President of the Royal Karakuri Academy in Wall-Urges, have expelled Felix Ginsford from the University and brought to trial by the British government."
"In addition, Felix Kingsford's qualification to participate in the night party and the ranking of the academy will be deprived together, and I hope that all the teachers and students of the college will take warning."
Such news fell to the academy and caused an uproar all of a sudden.
"Is Felix actually the Magic Eater?"
"How so!?"
"It's a lie, isn't it!?"
"I don't believe it!"
This was the initial reaction of the students.
Because Felix has always been approachable and helpful in the academy, his popularity has always been very high, especially among girls, with his disguised appearance and handsome skin, I hardly know how many girls are pregnant with him.
When such a character is suddenly revealed to be a murderer like "Magic Eater", most students naturally don't want to believe it.
However, the academy has confirmed Felix's guilt.
This is because the head of the academy personally authorized the opening of some forbidden areas within the academy for the guards to enter and search the relationship.
Eventually, the guards found the deliberately hidden bodies in one important facility after another, and found that Felix had a record of frequent use of these facilities.
Under these circumstances, the Karakuri Technology Division, which specializes in the production and development of automata, recovered Felix's doll, dismantled it, and comprehensively analyzed the composition of its magic circuits, and finally confirmed that Alyssa's magic was a type of magic circuit that could absorb other people's magic circuits, and found that more than 20 magic circuits had been recorded, and these circuits were also consistent with the magic circuits of the automaton registered by the students who died. This confirms the fact that the magic circuits of these automaton are eaten by Felix's automata.
As a result, Felix was formally convicted, expelled from school, and sent to prison pending trial.
Thanks to this, Chancellor Walter, who is Felix's father, was finally forced to be disqualified from parliament by the British government and officially stepped down because of the investigation of the forces behind these students.
In order to take responsibility, the Kingsford family not only paid a huge amount of compensation, but also was pressured by many forces, and the family's power and reputation plummeted.
As for Felix himself, it is said that when he was found again, not only was the automaton destroyed, but his skin was ulcerated, he was seriously injured, and even suffered a serious mental blow.
The news spread throughout the academy at once, silenting the students who didn't want to believe it.
Especially the Discipline Committee, knowing that Felix had been clapped all the time, they were all dumbfounded.
At this point, the students in the academy had to believe that Felix was the "Magic Eater".
And when a group of students who had a good impression of Felix were sad, many people with a heart noticed it again.
"Now that Felix has been expelled from school and even deprived of his ranking, isn't the 4th place vacant?"
That's it.
Felix's exit led to the vacancy of the position of "Thirteen".
This is a great euphora for the students who are ranked behind Felix.
This is not only because the treatment of high-ranked students in the academy will also be improved, but also because once the ranking is higher, the advantage in the night party will be more obvious.
Here we have to mention the format of the night meeting.
The night party is a competitive competition for 100 people, but it is not in a melee format, but in a sequential melee format.
The so-called sequential melee refers to a special way of fighting that magicians who used to treat as a kind of performance in order to make the audience more frenetic.
Instead of having the contestants play together, it allows the participants to join the battle in turn according to a certain amount of time.
The Night Party is a competition in this format.
On the night of the first day, the 100th-ranked student council will be the first to take on the 99th-ranked student, and the battle will be over as soon as one of them grabs the other's gloves.
Regardless of the outcome, the next night it was the 98th student who joined, and the next night the 97th student joined.
In this format, the Night Club will be contested for 99 days, and one glove holder will join the battlefield every night, regardless of whether it is won or lost, and the game will continue in this format except for the interruption.
In other words, the higher a student's ranking, the later they will play.
The later you play, the more you will be able to preserve your strength and avoid useless battles.
Especially the No. 1 ranked Academy Leader, he only needs to appear on the last night and defeat all the survivors on the field, then he can win overnight and become the Demon King.
As for the 100th place, that would be the hardest of all the students to win.
Because, he will fight 99 times in a row, until the end, before he can get the final victory.
In view of this, the higher the ranked, the higher the chance of winning the night party, and the advantage will be very large as it can be used to observe the strength of the other students who play first, collect their information, and hide their own information.
As a result, students are staring at the rankings above, almost eyeing them.
Felix's exit was enough to awaken the ambition of many people, and let these students get a chance to squeeze in the front, and even those who did not have the qualifications for the night party were looking forward to whether they could make themselves into the competition and qualify if there was one person missing the night party participants.
Unfortunately, these students were destined to be disappointed.
On the day when the academy was in a uproar over Felix, the head of the academy made another announcement.
"Through a collective resolution of the Executive Department of the Night Party, we have unanimously decided to grant the participation of the Rorele Agnène Night Party."
"He's ranked No. 2 in ————."
"His login is codename———— 'Fimbull Winter.'"
"Now the Academy has personally awarded him a glove, officially recognizing him as one of the candidates for the Demon King."
"I hope that Lorelei Agnène can really be proud to be a role model for other students and become a good puppeteer."
In this way, Luo Zhen suddenly rose from 101st to second after Magnus, and became one of the new "Thirteen".
"'Fimbul's Winter'..."
In Raphael's dormitory, in the room, Luo Zhen was lying on the bed, looking at the satin gloves on his right hand, and even more at the login code tattooed on it with gold thread, and pouted.
"Do you see me as a precursor to the end of the world?"
It's not a question of whether the demon king is a demon king or not, right?
"Strictly speaking, I'm the one who saves the world."
Luo Zhen sighed.
