But the old man didn't say anything, just waited quietly for her answer.
After a long while, Hitzfeld could only bite the bullet and say, "I don't think he did the right thing."
"Oh?"
"It is true that strict compliance with rules and regulations can maintain justice to the greatest extent. But this justice will ultimately fall on the entire city, the entire kingdom, and the entire society."
"Society is made up of people, and people are connected by emotions and blood ties. I personally believe that any 'justice' should not ignore its ultimate destination when it is implemented, and should be more thoughtful and cautious in light of people's emotions."
This is what she really thinks.
In the Balvik Phantom Case, she did the same thing based on this idea.
If Ferdinand were in that position, would the doctor and Helen still want to run away?
I'm afraid he will be shot to death on the spot.
"You're putting it mildly."
Grace gave his evaluation.
"So you are against him too?"
"I neither support him nor oppose him."
"Oh?"
"If Sara can enjoy true peace for a long time, then I will undoubtedly oppose him." Hitzfeld leaned forward, "But in today's world, I think some of Nosa Ferdinand's insistence may not be without his reason."
"And I don't know the details of this case yet, such as why Ouniya did this, and whether there is any hidden story behind it... Before knowing all the details, it is difficult for me to directly judge what kind of person Dean Ferdinand is."
So if you can, tell me all the details.
Hitzfeld hinted wildly.
How can I give a good evaluation if you don’t tell me these things?
"If Nosa knew that you thought of him this way, I think he would be very pleased."
Unfortunately, Grace wasn't fooled.
He stood up directly from the sofa and was actually planning to leave.
"May I ask your purpose in discussing this matter with me, Headmaster Grest?"
Hitzfeld also stood up and looked at him with a frown.
"It's simple." Grace had already turned the doorknob and opened the door halfway. "I just want to know what the assistant coach thinks of him this time."
"'this time'……?"
"Yes, didn't you notice? They are all very interested in you. An ordinary assistant coach certainly wouldn't arouse people's curiosity, but if you have a relationship with Nosa Ferdinand..."
Grest paused.
"After hearing the case of Eunya, Ferdinand became a synonym for 'terror' in the eyes of many people. All those who knew about it were surprised at his cruelty. They talked about it a lot, and all his friends cut off contact with him."
Batty-Villefort
Hitzfeld thought of the name immediately.
She recalled overhearing Villefort in that house.
He and Ferdinand were good friends back then, right?
But he spoke of Ferdinand in a bad tone... Was that when their relationship was torn apart?
"Most students don't know about this." Grester said, "But if you are a teaching assistant, because you will also come into contact with some professors, it is inevitable to hear some discussions over time...so most people will choose to leave Ferdinand after a period of time."
"This 'period of time'..." Hitzfeld raised his voice.
"Depends on when they hear the talk."
"I probably understand."
Hitzfeld nodded slightly.
The people betrayed their relatives.
She thought of an adjective.
Indeed, for such an "impartial" person, you can only remember his goodness when you need "absolute justice". But most people - including her - definitely don't want to have anything to do with him.
friend?
He dares to treat his lover like that, who knows how he views other people?
To be honest, if there were no lack of clues in the dead ticket case, Hitzfeld would not want to do it anymore.
She suddenly asked, "Are you worried that if I leave him, it will undermine some of his... beliefs?"
"If this could destroy his faith, he would not have done it."
Grest grinned and shook his head.
"I just wanted to tell you—"
"Under this starry sky, under this sky, anyone could betray us."
"But only Nossa Ferdinand."
"You can always trust this idiot."
Chapter 28 Continuation
There is no doubt that Grace knows more inside information.
Even Hitzfeld was certain that the reason he came to her this time, in addition to finding out about Ferdinand's arrangements, was mainly to remind herself not to be hostile to Ferdinand like everyone else.
Because he believed in him.
He was endorsing him using his own identity - that of Principal Pusilint.
But Hitzfeld didn't understand why he didn't give all the details.
Is he not sure either?
Or does it involve Ferdinand's privacy and he is reluctant to reveal it?
Hitzfeld didn't know all this for the time being - she couldn't understand where Grace's trust in Ferdinand came from, just like Sisyphus'.
She just saw him leaving.
So she could only temporarily suppress these doubts and walk over to see the other person off.
"no need!"
Grace raised her hand to stop her.
"I can see you're busy. You even have a 'date'."
"I'm not old enough to need someone to support me even in my dreams, so that's it..."
"See you next time."
"Wait--"
"Click."
Hitzfeld's call and the sound of the door closing were almost simultaneous.
She rushed to the door and opened it, and saw that the corridor was empty.
Running too fast.
Is this a direct awakening from reality?
Frowning slightly, Hitzfeld sniffed his nose as he stood there, and smelled a familiar scent.
A refreshing incense.
Well……
It seems that Grace has also been to the Dream Corridor.
……
five minutes later.
The girl in the black dress ran into the auditorium breathlessly.
The auditorium had become empty, all lighting facilities were turned off, and she could even hear the echo of her own breathing in the dim environment.
Am I late?
Panting and searching in the darkness, Hitzfeld gradually became disappointed.
Oh, maybe it would be more appropriate to describe it as regretful - it was her fault for standing up the show.
"I thought I had to wait till daybreak, Miss Hitzfeld."
Suddenly, a cold female voice came from behind.
Hitzfeld finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned around. Before he could say an apology, he felt someone hugged him.
The other party's hug was so tight that it went far beyond the scope of a polite hug. It felt more like a punishment - she felt her waist starting to ache.
The most terrifying thing was that her face was covered with a layer of tight leather. A hand pressed the back of her head and rubbed it against the soft leather, finally forcing her to start struggling.
“I can’t…I can’t breathe!”
After finally pulling the head out, Hitzfeld first took a deep breath, then raised his head with some dissatisfaction and glared at the smiling black-haired female agent.
"I've already collected the interest." Xia Yibing pinched her cheek, "So there's no need to apologize."
"I wonder if this is how you treat your friends, Officer Xia?"
"Almost...but I've only done this to one friend so far."
"So I should feel flattered?"
"Yes, this is Officer Xia's love for his friends."
"..." Hitzfeld was speechless.
It was the first time she discovered that Xia Yibing was so thick-skinned.
But think about it from another angle.
Did she come out?
She is no longer afraid to face me, which means she has almost adjusted my position in her heart.
That's fine.
Hitzfeld breathed a sigh of relief.
Putting aside those messy thoughts, Xia Yibing and Ethan are both her close friends.
Even her best friend.
She didn't want to cause Xia Yibing to make some cognitive errors because of her, and eventually have psychological problems and turn into a monster.
"I want to congratulate you." Xia Yibing shook her head and let go of the girl.
“It was a great open class, perhaps the best I’ve ever seen.”
"If someone else praised me, I would definitely accept it." Hitzfeld rolled his eyes at her, "But you——"
She did not forget that Xia Yibing's level of ancient Sarai was much better than hers.
“Knowing a subject and being able to teach it to others are two different things.”
Xia Yibing shook her head slightly.
“Maybe I have more experience than you, but I can’t make my class that effective even if I’m given 10 years.”
"Let's talk about something else."
Hitzfeld was reluctant to discuss the issue further.
She asked Xia Yibing to meet her, partly because she hadn't seen her for a long time and wanted to show concern for her as friends.
On the other hand, she wanted Xia Yibing to fulfill the agreement: as long as she passed the first interview, she would allow her to participate in the death ticket case and provide her with some information for review.
"Here is the information."
