My cousin is becoming a legend.

Chapter 108 is just for convenience.

"..."

Lynn remained silent for a moment.

The truth is somewhat too shocking.

Although he knew that commoner students were often bullied in the academy, he never expected it to come to this.

Vincent's involvement was probably a way of both winning me over and gaining control of my resources.

The problem is that he doesn't want to do this kind of thing at all, but if he refuses now, he'll probably find it hard to get away.

"A very good idea; this could help many people improve their alchemy skills."

Lynn looked calmly at Theodore.

Theodore was somewhat surprised.

He had expected Lynn to yell at him, but to his surprise, Lynn accepted it.

"That's right. At least everything our academy does is to improve the level of alchemy in the country. Our mission today is to capture a living person and bring them back," Theodore explained.

Lynn approached Theodore, carrying a net gun.

"Then let's finish the task quickly."

Theodore looked at Lynn with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

It seemed to be going too smoothly, but he couldn't find anything wrong with it.

Theodore had no choice but to lead the way.

Lynn followed quietly behind.

A silence fell between them.

Suddenly, Lynn asked, "Senior Brother Theodore, how many live animals can we capture in a year?"

Theodore frowned and pondered, "Our academy can probably only get thirteen or fourteen a year."

"point?"

Lynn noticed that the word was somewhat unusual.

"Are there other academies that also need living subjects?"

Theodore shook his head.

"Only our alchemy department needs it. I'm not referring to factions within the school, but to the nobles living in the capital."

"noble?"

Lynn frowned upon hearing this.

Things seemed to be more serious than he had imagined.

"Besides us alchemists, do nobles also need to conduct experiments? I hope you can enlighten me, senior brother."

Theodore glanced back at Lynn.

This junior student was indeed up to no good, secretly plotting something, otherwise he wouldn't have asked so many questions.

However, it's okay for him to know about this.

Or rather, even if Lynn hadn't asked, he would have told him the inside story anyway.

"The problem is simple. The great nobles also need to train their own family alchemists, and naturally they also need to use living beings."

Theodore smiled.

"Does the junior know which families these noble families belong to?"

Lynn felt a little heavy-hearted and shook her head.

"I hope my senior brother can enlighten me."

Theodore's lips curled up slightly.

"First of all, there are the three great counts. You must know them, right? They are the three most illustrious and powerful noble families in our Kingdom of Siernus: the Albright family, the Wiesman family, and the Falk family."

Lynn's heart skipped a beat.

Albright?

Isn't that Karl's surname?

I never imagined his family was so prominent.

As for the other two names, he had never heard of them before.

Theodore continued, "Next up are the four great alchemy families: the Nixd, the Barnes, the Weber, and the Holt. The production of living beings near the capital will be shared equally between our academy and these seven families. As for other forces, they are not qualified to participate."

Theodore smiled at Lynn.

"So, junior, now you know how much the school values ​​you, right? Ordinary earls aren't even qualified to participate."

Lynn nodded silently.

The college really values ​​him.

He had already discerned this from the long list of noble surnames.

However, the problem now is that this power group is too powerful. If I cause trouble, even Eleanor and Violet might not be able to protect me.

These families are the most powerful in this kingdom.

At the same time, they are also the malignant tumor that has made this kingdom terminally ill.

Lynn fell silent for a moment.

Theodore looked at Lynn, quite pleased with his reaction.

That's it.

In the face of absolute power, any will to resist will be crushed to dust.

Moreover, the original intention of this event was to win over Lynn, so he had no reason to refuse.

"Since so many nobles are involved, I'm relieved. I originally thought this was a very dangerous mission." Lynn's voice was somewhat heavy.

Theodore chuckled smugly, "Junior, don't worry. Nobody here will know about this. And even if they did, it wouldn't matter. In the end, it'll all be downplayed and forgotten. At worst, they'll just kill a bunch of scapegoats and postpone the project for a few months. This isn't the first time."

Lynn sighed softly to himself.

It is so deeply ingrained.

He doesn't have the power to offend these nobles yet, so it seems he can only turn a blind eye for now and pretend he doesn't see it.

Of course, he still didn't want to get involved in this dirty activity.

We need to figure out a way to get out of this situation.

However, there's one problem he still can't figure out.

"Senior, I don't understand why we're targeting students from the academy. These are the future talents of the capital. Isn't this a waste?"

Theodore quickly shook his head.

"No, no, no, junior, you're overthinking it. Those who make it onto our list are all good-for-nothings with no talent or connections. Of course, we wouldn't waste talent like that."

Lynn remained silent for a moment.

It turns out that it's true that if you don't study well in this academy, you will die.

"...But we could easily capture Uma prisoners of war, couldn't we? These students are, after all, also our people, Siernus."

Theodore waved his hand.

"The commoners in the capital are protected by the Queen, and the Uma prisoners of war are bought back by the Nansha Church. So naturally, we can only target these students who have no background or ability."

And it's also possible to target the commoners outside the capital. Which of the seven noble families outside the capital doesn't have a live ranch?

But all they wanted was convenience—to have a supply of live animals without leaving the capital; otherwise, running around was just too much trouble.

"..."

Lynn clenched his fists instinctively.

Is the reason for taking action against the students simply because he's too lazy to leave the capital?

And then there's that live animal ranch, whose very name is enough to make you want to vomit.

These animals...

Sooner or later, we will slaughter them all.

Lynn took a deep breath, forcing herself not to think about these disgusting things.

Soon, Theodore also stopped.

"We've arrived. This is the mission location."

Theodore took out two documents and handed one to Lynn.

"You'll be in charge of the arrest from now on. I'll assist you. Get some information beforehand."

Lynn took it, read the contents, and frowned.

The information above is that student's information.

Name, age, blood type, abilities, habits, hobbies, romantic history, and other private information are all laid bare.

Most importantly, the document also provides a detailed description of her mission.

She wrote down in great detail what monsters she would face, where she would die, and how she would die.

It was as if a meticulously laid trap had been set long ago, quietly waiting for her to walk right into it.

From the moment the school assigned her the task, her life was already on a countdown.

However, the person involved was completely unaware of this.

She thought it was just a routine field training mission...
