The next day, the dean of Walpurgis Royal Academy of Artificial Intelligence announced a news to all the teachers and students.
"Felix Kingsford, Chairman of the Disciplinary Committee, is suspected of murder. As a "Magic Eater", he secretly attacked numerous students, resulting in their deaths and the destruction of the automaton. His crime has been confirmed."
"I, Edward Rutherford, in my capacity as Master of the Royal College of Artificial Intelligence, Walpurgis, excommunicate Felix Kingsford and commit him to trial by the British Government."
"In addition, Felix Kingsford's qualification to participate in the night party and his college ranking will be stripped away. We hope that all teachers and students in the college will take this as a warning."
Such news reached the academy and caused an uproar.
"Is Felix actually the Magic Eater?"
"how so!?"
"Is this a lie!?"
"I do not believe!"
This was the initial reaction from 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, almost no one knows How many girls are pregnant with him.
When such a character was suddenly revealed to be a murderer like "Magic Gnawer", most students were naturally not willing to believe it.
However, the college has confirmed Felix's crime.
This is because the dean of the college personally authorized the opening of some forbidden areas in the college, allowing guards to enter and search them.
In the end, the guards found bodies that had been deliberately hidden in important facilities one after another, and found that Felix had records of frequent use of these facilities.
Under such circumstances, the Machine Technology Department, which is responsible for the production and development of automatic dolls, also recovered Felix's doll, dismantled it, and comprehensively analyzed the composition of its magic circuit. In the end, it not only confirmed that Alyssa's Magic is a type that can absorb other people's magic circuits. It was also discovered that more than twenty types of magic circuits were recorded. These circuits are also consistent with the magic circuits of the automatons registered by the students who died, thus confirming these. The fact that the automaton's magic circuit was eaten by Felix's automaton.
As a result, Felix was formally convicted, expelled from school, and sent to prison to await trial.
Thanks to this, Minister Walter, who is Felix's father, was eventually pressured by the forces behind these students to withdraw his membership qualifications from the British government and officially stepped down.
In order to take responsibility, the Kingsford family not only had to pay huge amounts of compensation, but was also pressured by many forces. 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 he also had skin ulcers all over his body, was seriously injured, and even suffered a severe mental blow. He suddenly became insane and completely turned into a madman. .
The news spread throughout the college at once, silencing the students who were unwilling to believe it.
Especially the Discipline Committee, knowing that they had been kept applauded by Felix, they were all speechless.
At this point, the students in the academy had no choice but to believe that Felix was the "Magic Eater".
And when all the students who had a good impression of Felix were sad, many thoughtful people took notice.
"Since Felix has been expelled from school and deprived of his ranking, isn't the fourth place vacant?"
That's it.
Felix's exit left one of the "Thirteenth People" vacant.
This is a very exciting thing for those students ranked after Felix.
This is not only because in the college, the treatment of high-ranking students will also be improved, but also because once the ranking becomes higher, the advantage in night parties will be more obvious.
Here I have to mention the competition format of the night party.
The night party is a competitive game for hundreds of people, but it is not carried out in the form of a melee, but in the form of a sequential melee.
The so-called sequential melee refers to a special fighting method devised by magicians who used to regard fighting as a kind of performance in order to make the audience more enthusiastic.
It does not allow contestants to appear together, but allows participants to join the battle one by one according to a certain time.
The night party is a competition in this form.
On the night of the first day, the 100th-ranked student will be the first to appear and fight with the 99th-ranked student. As long as one party grabs the opponent's gloves, the battle will end.
Regardless of the outcome, the 98th student will join the battle the next night, and the 97th student will join the next night.
In this format, the night will be a 99-day competition. Every night, regardless of winning or losing, a glove holder will join the battlefield. Except for the interruption period, the competition will continue in this format.
In other words, the higher a student's ranking, the later he or she will be admitted.
The later you play, the more you can preserve your strength and avoid unnecessary battles.
Especially the No. 1 Academy Chief. 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 will be the most difficult one to win among all students.
Because he will fight 99 times in a row until the end before he can win the final victory.
In view of this, students with higher rankings have a higher chance of winning in the night party. They can also use this opportunity to observe the strength of the other students who compete first, collect their intelligence, and even hide their own intelligence. The advantage will be very great.
Therefore, the students are all staring at the rankings above, almost with eager eyes.
Felix's exit was enough to awaken the ambitions of many people, giving these students the opportunity to squeeze into the front. Even those students who were not qualified to participate in the night party were looking forward to whether they could be among the night party participants without one person. Get in and qualify.
Unfortunately, these students are destined to be disappointed.
On the day when the college was in a fuss over Felix's incident, the dean made another announcement.
"Through the collective resolution of the night party executive department, we unanimously decided to grant Lorelei Agnène the qualification to participate in the true night party."
"His ranking is No. 2."
"His login code is "Finbulwinter"."
"Now the academy personally awards him the gloves, officially recognizing him as one of the candidates for the Demon King."
"I hope Lorelei Agne can be really proud of her, serve as a role model for other students, and become an excellent puppet master."
In this way, Luo Zhen suddenly rose from the 101st place to the 2nd place after Magnus, becoming one of the new "Thirteen People".
""Winter in Finbul"..."
In the room of Raphael's men's dormitory, Luo Zhen was lying on the bed, looking at the satin glove on his right hand, and looking at the login code tattooed with gold thread on it, and curled his lips.
"You actually think of me as a harbinger of the end of the world?"
This is no longer a question of whether the devil is the devil or not, right
"Strictly speaking, I am the one who saves the world."
Luo Zhen sighed.
