You call this a black hand?

In the conference room, a group of school senior officials were discussing how to deal with the possible invasion of William Pantoria.

Of course, their first thought was not to negotiate with Mellen, the heir, to terminate the contract, but to spread the news and call for help——

With the school's influence in the wizarding world, if there is a real crisis, there will be a huge number of people who will help.

"God's Coming"

But it seems that they have been aware of their own exposure. Now the school's senior officials are using the Book of Secret Words and other means to contact the outside world, but they find that all the messages they send are like falling into the sea, without any response!

This is obviously the surrounding area, which has been blocked!

The blockade is silent but deadly.

It's impossible to hide the news that such a large school is under lockdown, especially when school starts like today.

It's easy to tell from the outside that something is wrong.

But since the enemy dares to blockade, it proves that they have made corresponding preparations and are confident that they can achieve their goals before outside help breaks through the blockade!

So in order to do their best to defend, the topic of finding an heir to terminate the contract, which embarrassed the senior management, was brought up again.

This time no one objected.

Because the contract can be terminated, and of course it can be signed again. As long as we get through this crisis, what's the trouble?

As for whether "Eiger" would agree to terminate the contract and help, they didn't think this was a problem.

At worst, give him some benefits.

"I'm afraid that he will be greedy and rely on this crisis to open his mouth."

Vice President Yin Fan, who Mellen had met before, said: "So I think that even if we talk to him, we can't give in as weakly as last time. If necessary, we should even use coercive means to deter him."

"The powers he stole came from Fort St. Grant, and they harmed the school. I don't believe he really dares to go against the school."

This statement caused many people to nod.

It's okay to obey the authority when the situation arises and grant some benefits again, but if the other party goes too far, of course the school cannot just condone it.

Otherwise they would simply become a laughing stock.

What kind of thing is it to compromise in front of a wizard's apprentice one after another?

"When you ask for help, you want to threaten others. Is there something wrong with your mind?"

Juliana, who was also brought to the meeting, had a different perspective.

As a result, after she finished speaking, she was greeted by surprised looks from around her.

Juliana was annoyed by this.

Of course she said this because of a certain position, but on the other hand, even if the heir was not Meren, she didn't think it was urgent right now. It was not rational for some people to want to create extraneous problems.

If you really want to face a lion and ask for it, even if you are unwilling to give, wouldn't the normal approach be to deal with it first, and then think about whether to regret it after the crisis is over?

Coercive measures to deter?

Does this really mean that Meren is an ordinary wizard apprentice who can be manipulated at will?

But before she could continue to say anything, Vice Dean Yin Fan, who was not far away and smiled because he had gained recognition from the people around him, suddenly froze as if he heard something, and then his expression instantly became embarrassed.

Not only him, but the expressions of five or six school leaders also changed drastically.

"I think."

Then, under the stunned gaze of everyone including Principal Browning, Yinfan Fowler, the middle-aged man who had been the vice-president of Dragon College for nearly ten years, suddenly took a deep breath.

"In the face of this sudden crisis, my personal ability is not sufficient to shoulder the responsibilities and obligations of my position."

As he spoke, he stood up and said in a dark tone: "So here, I solemnly apply to Principal Browning for my resignation."

"I have the same idea."

After Yin Fan, another vice-dean also stood up with a bitter expression.

"I am not capable enough. If I insist on staying in this position, I will only harm other people's lives, so I applied to resign."

The surroundings were very quiet. Principal Browning looked stunned when he heard this, and seemed a little unable to react.

This is actually normal, because just now they were discussing how to deal with the enemy, but in the blink of an eye, they actually backed down?

It's really too abrupt to do this.

But the two resignations are not the end.

Because then the third and fourth appeared...

In the conference room, six people suddenly announced their resignation one after another, leaving the remaining people looking at each other in shock, and for a while they couldn't figure out what was going on.

Juliana quickly understood some things, because she was particularly concerned about certain aspects——

In the previous meetings, some people objected to compensating Mellen's interests, and even advocated punishing him for being clever.

She remembered it clearly.

And now, these people who stand up basically include those who oppose it.

One is not too much, and the other is not too little.

In other words, the way these people are now is all because of Mellen.

However...how is this possible?

She felt incredible.

…

The auditorium where the opening ceremony was held seemed to have been transformed from a church. The entire architectural style was pure white with a hint of gold, and the patterns and reliefs on it looked full of sacred atmosphere.

It occupies a very vast area, and the material of the dome is unknown. It is constantly shining bright but not dazzling white light downwards.

After being separated from the Holy Spirit, Mellen always sat on a certain seat in the auditorium without moving.

It looks like the students around him are quietly waiting for the next ceremony to begin——

This ceremony was probably similar to the opening ceremonies in previous lives, including the introduction of school leaders and a speech by the principal.

Listening to the excited discussions of the young people around, it seems that many famous wizard artists will come to perform, so the place is full of expectations.

However, gradually, the warm atmosphere in the auditorium became a little impetuous.

Because the time had passed, the ceremony did not officially begin.

The students were very surprised by this, and some school staff who were busy maintaining order were also a little confused.

"For so many years, the ceremony has never been delayed. What happened today?"

"Maybe something went wrong somewhere?"

“What could go wrong that would affect the whole?”

"Maybe the principal is busy with something?"

Amidst the discussion, no one knew exactly what happened.

Mellen didn't know it at first.

Until Mrs. Chelsea, disguised as a black-haired girl, suddenly appeared out of nowhere and sat next to him. She didn't say anything, but just stared at Meren, not knowing what she was thinking.

"What's wrong with you?"

Melen was a little embarrassed by the sight. He thought he had accidentally got Alyssa's hair on him and was discovered?

"Bobby Kenan, Edwin Gurner, Dennis Moore, Yin Fan..."

Mrs. Chelsea named several names in succession, and then said: "Not long ago, they all announced their resignations."

"Uh, who are they?"

Mellen only knew about Yin Fan and basically didn't know anything else.

"Some senior school leaders are against you."

The lady asked inexplicably, "How did you do it?"
