The venue for the match is the Ice Dragon Stadium in Wien.
Isn't it amazing? Except for the year, all the factors of this game are exactly the same as the game that opened the death ticket.
If a single ticket stuck in the notebook was not enough to prove that Ferdinand was related to the case, then when these pieces of information were matched one by one, his suspicion suddenly increased dramatically.
And she also found Villefort - yes, she was now sure that the Villefort voice she overheard belonged to Batty Villefort.
He is the director of the Strategic Homeland Security Agency (also known as Shadow Lion), and his political rank is higher than Ferdinand.
At the same time, he was also one of the nine people in that photo, and he had a very good relationship with Ferdinand back then.
If we ignore the past events that she doesn't know about, from a purely rational point of view, Hitzfeld actually supports Villefort.
After all, he is the director, and he has to consider all aspects. As he said, human nature has weaknesses, and even though Ferdinand made a noble sacrifice, no one can guarantee that people's hearts will not change.
If he were not the director, from the perspective of a friend, he could trust Ferdinand unconditionally.
But as the director, he has to be responsible for the safety of more people. It is not wrong to use the potion called Charming Soul Fragrance.
Soul-charming incense... This thing sounds like it has a similar effect to truth serum.
If such a potion really existed, it could be used to investigate and interrogate internal personnel. Hitzfeld felt that things might become much simpler.
Unfortunately, Ethan, Sixus and others had a blind trust in Ferdinand.
This made Hitzfeld think again and again, but he still did not tell Ethan about these things.
So she waited for Friday.
She thought nothing would happen until she received a letter on Thursday afternoon.
The letter was from Ferdinand, in which he apologized to her in a very formal manner and said that he might not be able to come the next night.
Then I asked her to help substitute for me and temporarily take over the responsibility of teaching "Ancient Sarai" on Friday night.

Chapter 23 Relationship
The letter caught Hitzfeld off guard.
She thought Ferdinand was joking with her.
She knew very well what her level of ancient Sarai language was. It had only been less than half a year since she started learning it. How... could she possibly help with substitute classes at this level?
Before it got dark, she immediately wrote a letter with the relevant information and put it in the mailbox opposite.
In less than 10 minutes, there was a knock on the door.
He opened the door, let Alfred, who was trying to maintain a serious expression, into the room, and Hitzfeld sat down opposite him.
"Laugh when you want to, don't hold it in."
"I don't mean to make fun of you." Alfred shook his head, "It's just... well, this kind of prank happens to Ferdinand, the contrast effect will be more intense."
yes……
Speaking of this, Hitzfeld couldn't help but become even angrier.
Although she had only met Ferdinand once (she could not see him during the interrogation), and that was in a dream, she thought she knew him relatively well through hearsay and observations in the corridors of her dreams.
Of course, I don't know him in a deep sense, but at least based on his attire and his requirements for manners, I can tell that he is a strict and rigid person.
Such a person obviously will not joke easily. If he says he has no time tomorrow, then he really has no time.
"Tell me what to do now." Hitzfeld had to ask Shadow Lion for help.
She wasn't ready to expose herself in front of so many people, and she didn't think she was at the level to substitute teach.
She had even made up her mind that if things were really irreversible, the worst that could happen was that she would go on stage and announce that they would have a self-study session today.
The students will be happy too, right?
"First of all, you have to prepare your lessons carefully and never think of letting students study on their own."
"σ(°vφ;)?"
"Don't look at me like that... Because I just received news that tomorrow's Ancient Sara Language class will be an open class, and the deans of the four colleges in Pusilint will attend as auditors."
"I..." Hitzfeld wanted to curse.
She couldn't help but wonder if she had accidentally offended Ferdinand during the interview.
Or is he well-connected and knows that she has been investigating him these days, and this is a warning and revenge for her?
"This is an opportunity that others would love to have." Alfred frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with her attitude.
He began to give the girl some scientific knowledge, trying to make her understand how precious such an opportunity was.
"We have tens of thousands of agents across the country. Even if only one-tenth of them are extraordinary, it means that there will be thousands more people qualified to enter that city."
"But we are not considered students of Pusilint. We have not received letters from the principal. We are not eligible to have our clothes customized according to the standards of apprentice robes. We are not eligible to choose courses at will. We are not eligible to ask the professor for help after class if we don't understand something."
"There are many people like us in the whole Weinport... We are not allowed to move freely there. Even if we want to audit, we can only choose some courses specially opened by Pusilint. Yes - this also includes public courses."
"I'm not saying this to make you realize the importance of open classes to people like you. All courses should be important, but do you know how rare it is to be qualified to stand on the podium of Dream City and give a long speech to everyone and express your views?"
Maybe it's because he's getting old, but Alfred never stops talking.
Things like "Born in a blessed situation but not knowing how to appreciate it", "Faces", "Status", all kinds of aphorisms come to mind.
But Hitzfeld wasn't having it.
"sounds good."
She crossed her arms and crossed her legs.
"But all of this is based on the premise that ... the person at the podium is qualified to be there."
Alfred was about to say something else when the doorbell rang again.
Hitzfeld stood up and walked over to open the door. After a while, he came back with a package in his hand.
"what is this?"
Alfred stared at the package.
Hitzfeld tore open the wrapping paper in two or three strokes and took out a parchment manuscript bound with thread from the package.
“…It seems to be a teaching plan.”
She said as she flipped through the pages, her brows furrowed deeply.
Parchment, each side of which was the size of a large book with two pages spread out, totaling about thirty pages, most of which were densely written with words.
"It looks like I'm not needed here anymore."
Alfred grinned, picked up his hat and stood up.
“He means it, and he believes you can do it.”
"No...wait for me!"
Hitzfeld hurriedly called out to him.
She just took a quick look at it and roughly confirmed that this manuscript was the teaching progress of Puslint's "Ancient Sarai" course from the beginning of this year to now.
There is progress for each grade level, from first to seventh grade.
The content was much simpler than she had imagined, and she felt that with her current level of knowledge, she would have no problem teaching sixth grade.
Not sure about seventh grade, as she tends to be cautious when it comes to graduation.
There are two issues here.
First, was it because she scored over 800 points on that set of test papers that Ferdinand felt she was qualified to be a substitute lecturer?
Second, she seemed to have seriously underestimated her specific level of knowledge in this subject.
This made her a little confused for a moment.
She thought she should be a bad cook.
It turns out that, without realizing it, she has become qualified to be a lecturer?
"how?"
Alfred paused.
"Alfred." Hitzfeld took a deep breath and leaned down to ask, "With your... experience."
"uh-huh?"
"You must know something about Dean Ferdinand's past."
"so?"
"I want to know what O'Nia Folland's relationship is with him now, and what her current situation is."
Alfred's expression suddenly changed.
"Onia...where did you hear this name?"
"I heard others talking about it in the Pollution Inspection Department."
Hitzfeld lied without batting an eyelid.
“These bastards…!”
Alfred began to curse under his breath, veins popping out in his cane hand.
"Alfred?"
"Oh! Sorry..."
The old man sighed and put on his hat.
"Since you already know a little bit, it doesn't hurt to tell you."
"Oenia Volland was Ferdinand's wife, they were married and had a daughter."
"Then later..."
“And then they all died.”
He shook his head and raised his hand to stop the girl from asking further questions.
"Ethan told me something, Hitzfeld..."
"How should I put it... We are not trying to deny you, nor are we saying that it is wrong to be skeptical, but there are some things and some people that cannot be questioned."
"That's it. I don't recommend you explore this story any further."
"Prepare your lessons well and look forward to your performance tomorrow."
Chapter 24 Open Class Two-in-One
Time quickly came to Friday.
Friday night classes are usually taught by the deans of each college. No one dares to skip them, and every student needs to hand in his or her homework for the week tonight.
In addition, the "Ancient Sarai Language" course at the Divine Academy was changed to an open class, and many extraordinary people who were not students also wanted to attend. As a result, the number of people visiting Dream City tonight was almost twice the usual number.
Wearing a black windbreaker and a black felt hat, Xia Yibing fell asleep early, planning to meet Hitzfeld in advance.
As a result, when she arrived at Dream City and met some familiar colleagues, she learned from them that there was an open class tonight and the lecturer would be replaced by the new assistant teacher of the Divine Academy.
This scared her - because there was only one new assistant teacher in the Divine Academy, and that was Hitzfeld, whom she had been thinking about all the time!
Actually, it’s not something I think about all the time.
That is...Hitzfeld had just entered her emotional system, so she needed some time to adjust her position. At least she couldn't treat her as a stranger.
Alfred is here.
Ethan is here.
Even Zafira, who claimed to be on a secret mission, came in disguise.
