The Divine Hunter Chapter 24: No such person found

It's still a long time before noon.

Roy left the Lower City and quickly returned to Cardell's House. He hid outside the classroom and looked inside. The students were listening intently to Cardell's history class on the podium.

Vivien sat alone in the last row.

The time stuck just in time. Now, everyone in the school, except him and the fat cook who had been staying in the kitchen, was in the classroom.

Roy quietly sneaked up to the principal's office room on the second floor. Seeing that the door was locked, he ran to the far left of the corridor and leaned half of his body out of the guardrail to look at the second-floor window on the side of the house.

The window was wide open. It was not far from the corridor and not high from the ground. Roy took a deep breath and half-squatted on the guardrail. He estimated the distance and did a few squats. Then his legs were tightened like springs. He had to let go instantly, and he was like a big bird swooping over, spreading his arms, and successfully clasped the window sill.

With a strong movement of his waist, he rolled into the room as nimbly as a cat. For him whose physical fitness was no weaker than that of an adult, this set of movements was not difficult.

The room was still exactly the same as when Roy arrived the first day. He went straight to the desk behind the bookshelf and pulled out a few drawers and cabinets.

Unfortunately they are all locked. But he was unwilling to let him leave like this, so he searched everywhere in the room, including bookshelves, sofas, pen holders...

Half an hour later, Roy was pleasantly surprised and took out a copper key from a book of poems called "Moon Age" in the corner of the bookshelf. Insert it into the keyhole of the cabinet near the corner of the table.

With a crisp "click" sound, the rectangular cabinet under the desk was opened, revealing several neat stacks of paper.

On the first day Roy came to school, the personal information registration form he left behind was among it. According to Kadell at the time, every new student was required to make the same registration. The registration information included the specific date of admission, name, gender, age, home address, family relationship, and a simple description of appearance, such as hair and eye color. , birthmarks or scars on the body.

According to Roy's opinion, if Vivien's brother is indeed a real person and went to school at Caddell House, then there must be such a record.

Every time you walk, you will leave traces.

Even if no one remembers "him", words will never lie on their own.

The registration forms have been sorted by Kadel according to the year of admission, and they will be placed in that pile according to the year of admission. Roy made a rough count and found that there were 13 thin piles, which meant that Cardell House had existed for at least this many years.

Starting in 1248, there were only two or three registration forms in the first year, and then the number increased year by year. In the last three or four years, it has become stable, with almost thirty new students every year.

Every year, the vast majority of new students enroll and old students graduate and leave school around May Day. There are very few people like Roy who jump in half way.

He sighed slightly. The piles of inconspicuous papers in front of him were the history of Caddell House, recording how a school that relied solely on faith and served poor children, how in a chaotic era, the gangs and the revolutionary army The place where it was rampant gradually grew to the scale it is today.

The thin paper has another kind of indescribable weight.

Roy carefully flipped through the pages one by one. He did not read every word carefully. That would be too slow, and he did not recognize some of the words. He only looked at the year of admission, name, and kinship, and it was within six or seven years, because Caddell House allows students to stay for up to five years.

"Hill...that's not right,"

"Frick...the relatives are wrong,"

"Kartz... the home address is wrong,"

More than two hundred registration forms were browsed in a quarter of an hour. Some piles were still mixed with empty forms. Perhaps Kadell used them to comfort himself, and then he checked them a second and third time.

After three times, Roy sighed, folded the registration form neatly with a complex expression, and locked it in the cabinet again.

Roy could not find any information about Vivien's brother. This conclusion made him feel that more than half of the investigation was completed, and the result was as expected, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Vivien does have some kind of mental illness?

Among the dozen or so stacks of records, there are some that look very familiar to Roy. They are children who are still in the school.

One of the two impressed him deeply. They recorded a boy who appeared in Vivien's diary - Miffin who had a fight with "him".

And the boy with a scar under his eye, the outstanding graduate Helheim whom Kadel had painted.

Roy glanced at the wall clock. There was still one hour to 12 o'clock. After lunch, he planned to ask Miffin and finally add some evidence.

Roy hesitated before leaving the room. Out of curiosity, he used the copper key to open other drawers.

"Well, books, quills, ink..."

"Cosmetics? Can't you tell that Teacher Cardell, who looks so rigid and serious, is also a woman who loves beauty?"

"Well, this is it?" Surprisingly, Roy dug out a crumpled notice in the third corner drawer...

"Vernon Ryan, the great revolutionary leader of Edsburg, ran for the benefit of the people, but was captured and imprisoned by the cruel Baron Tarwick for three months. The righteous people who went to protest the march were arrested and imprisoned for three months. The baron suppressed violently! But the revolution will never compromise, and new teams are gathering..."

A bright light dispelled the fog in my mind.

Roy finally remembered the identity of that outstanding graduate ~IndoMTL.com~ Helheim. Isn't this boy with scars under his eyes the same cloaked man who he bumped into when he left the dwarf's mansion, distributing revolutionary proclamations, a member of the revolutionary army?

Kadel clearly had such a notice hidden in his drawer, and he kept saying that he would send outstanding graduates to work in other places.

Obviously, this respected lady principal must be closely related to the revolutionary army. Thinking more broadly, Roy even felt that Kadel held a pivotal position in the Revolutionary Army. She founded the entire school to cultivate elites for the Revolutionary Army.

Yes... He still remembered the history lesson he overheard Kadel telling him on his first day at school.

At that time, he had a strange feeling. The principal seemed to be more inclined to the position of the Revolutionary Army, criticizing Edsberg and even the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Aden.

Then everything makes sense, the supporters behind the Kadel House are the Revolutionary Army! Based on his performance, if he stayed for a few more years, Kadell might show off his cards to him.

Roy took a deep breath, feeling quite complicated. Obviously he just came to check the information about Vivien's brother, but he didn't expect to catch Kadel's heel by mistake.

So, is Vivien's brother related to Kadel, and was secretly brought into the revolutionary ranks by the other party, just like Helheim?

Roy quickly rejected this idea. No matter how high Kadel's status in the revolutionary army was, she was still a human being and it was unlikely that Vivien, her family, and neighbors would all lose their memories. Even Helheim left behind portraits and registration forms, but that "he" didn't.

Old Bob's testimony, coupled with the missing registration form, is enough to prove that the "he" in the diary does not exist. If Miffin in the diary denies it again, then...
