Chapter 48: A group full of problems

After Professor Sanchez finished speaking, he paused, confirmed that Miss Jones was still recording, and then said,

"It's Mr. Bill Schneider."

Xia De held his breath, not daring to exhale. He had truly been startled just now; this habit of speaking halfway was really not good.

"Mr. Schneider's problem was only discovered by us in his third year. He is a Psychologist himself, and his Ring術士 system is also related to dreams and the mind, but he hides a very dangerous thing in his heart. The Academy cannot accurately determine what it is, but currently, there are some guesses that it is quite dangerous. The Academy needs someone to monitor him, or rather, pay attention to his situation. Once Bill Schneider loses control, the Academy needs to be notified immediately for handling."

Professor Sanchez looked into Xia De's eyes. Xia De knew that the 'problematic person' wasn't himself, so he relaxed a lot, but he was very worried about Psychologist Schneider's situation:

"Will Psychologist Schneider... lose control?"

The Psychologist is a very good person.

"Currently, the evaluation of his psychological stability is very high, but the possibility of losing control cannot be ruled out. However, it's just a possibility; he might never have a problem in his entire life. Moreover, we haven't fully confirmed what is truly in his heart, so there's no solution. Mr. Hamilton, are you willing to do this job? You don't need to do anything extra, just ensure that if a problem arises, the Academy is informed immediately."

Xia De didn't answer immediately but glanced at Professor Garcia, who nodded at Xia De. Xia De also thought about it himself; if it was just reporting at the last minute, it was actually nothing:

"I think it's fine, but may I ask, have you told others about this? I'm just a new member of the group..."

It would be more suitable for others in the group to carry out this matter.

"Ratt Augustus also has a problem."

Compared to the serious Professor Garcia, Old Professor Sanchez from Library Management College was a bit more humorous. He showed a regretful expression to Xia De:

"You might know the story of Priest Augustus; the other members of the group should also know. But I can guarantee that he definitely hasn't revealed why he's still just a Priest after all these years, because even he doesn't know."

The professor with the round glasses suddenly lowered his voice:

"Thirty years ago, in Ratt Augustus's third year of joining the Dawn Church, as an ordinary person, he was involved in a containment breach incident of a high-level relic. The inside story of that incident is only known to the Dawn Church and the Natural Church, and Priest Augustus was one of the few survivors that year. The Dawn Church, for the psychological and spiritual stability of the survivors, erased that memory from them."

"High-level relic? Is it an Angel-level (Grade 1) relic?"

Xia De asked in surprise. Even the god's gift box he had recently heard about was only Sage-level (Grade 2).

But the professor shook his head:

"Even higher level."

The young Detective opened his mouth:

"So, there are also standard measurement objects for Angel-level (Grade 1) relics. It really makes sense."

"I admire your keenness. Yes, Angel-level is Grade 1, and above that is Grade 0, the inconceivable-grade relic. The incident Augustus was involved in was a containment breach incident of an inconceivable-grade relic."

Professor Garcia from History Academy said, while Professor Sanchez added:

"The Academy generally regards the arrival of an Evil God and the loss of control of an inconceivable-grade relic (Grade 0) as disasters of the same level.

The Academy suspects that Priest Augustus has gradually recovered that memory over the past thirty years and joined Saint Byron's rather than the Church after awakening his talent, in order to find the truth of the accident that year. We cannot be sure whether that inconceivable-grade relic has had a long-term impact on him, so although this Priest's problem is smaller than the Psychologist's, it must also be taken seriously. Of course, all of the above are speculations, and the Academy will not treat this old gentleman differently."

"So, do I also need to report the information to the Academy in time if Priest Augustus has a problem?"

Xia De asked, and Professor Sanchez nodded:

"Augustus's problem is slightly smaller; if it's convenient for you, you can monitor him as well."

"In that case..."

Xia De looked at the other party hesitantly, thinking of another question:

"Miss Dorothy Louisa and Miss Luvia Annett, they don't have problems too, do they?"

"Unfortunately, you are correct."

As Professor Sanchez nodded, Xia De seemed to notice the secretary, who was bowing her head and recording, trying to control her laughter. If Xia De wasn't the involved party, he thought he would also laugh.

"But the problems of these two ladies are relatively smaller.

Luvia Annett is a Ring術士 jointly cultivated by the Prophet Association and us. Of course, it's not because of this relationship that we distrust her; it's just that the Prophet Association has revealed some information that Miss Annett is very strange... She is a Diviner herself, but some of her divinations are too accurate. This is not a good sign; you will understand once you have a preliminary understanding of the Knowledge of prophecy... In short, Miss Annett's problem is not serious; it's just that the task of monitoring the Psychologist and the Priest cannot be left to her, and you don't need to be wary of Miss Annett."

Professor Sanchez said.

"I understand. I'll pretend I didn't hear what you just said about her."

Professor Sanchez then nodded with satisfaction:

"I admire people like you, Mr. Hamilton. Yes, that's what I mean. Finally, Miss Dorothy Louisa. This female Writer has the smallest problem; the Academy merely suspects her of being a spy."

When talking about the Writer, Professor Sanchez's tone became more relaxed.

"A spy?"

Xia De was puzzled.

"Miss Louisa has connections with the Delarion Kingdom's royal family, and we cannot find this connection at all. And the Delarion Kingdom's royal family, only at the royal level, has a relatively deep relationship with Zaras Academy. Therefore, the Academy suspects that she might be a spy sent by Zaras Academy to Saint Byron's for our Knowledge and secrets."

Professor Sanchez raised an eyebrow at Xia De:

"You understand, although the Three Great Arcane Academies have a good relationship with each other, but... actually, this is not a big deal, because we would also do this, cough cough. It's just that we cannot entrust too many secrets to her because of this. Of course, this is still just a suspicion, so the Academy will not treat her differently, but the task given to you cannot be given to her."

"So, the Academy hopes that I stay in this group where everyone has problems, and I am responsible for reporting certain matters in a timely manner?"

Xia De summarized after a while. He generally believed the information given by Professor Sanchez, but he didn't develop any ill feelings towards the other four members of the group because of it. He just sighed that it was indeed not peaceful around outsiders. And the other members of the group seemed perfectly normal.

The woman's voice in his mind chuckled softly.

"No, this is not a group where everyone has problems; you don't have a problem."

Professor Garcia, who had been listening to the conversation, corrected him:

"History Academy has conducted a thorough investigation into your identity. Your identity is very clean, whether it was your past as a vagrant, or being taken in by Sparrow Hamilton Detective, or regaining wisdom after awakening your talent and becoming normal—none of these are problems. Therefore, the Academy fully trusts you and has told you these secrets."

"Fully trust me."

Xia De repeated with a straight face, nodding while listening to the soft chuckle in his mind:

"Yes, I have no problems at all. I am trustworthy."

The outsider carrying secrets said.
