Chapter 78: Investigation Results

Several moments later, the guild worker said to Leo, “Thank you for waiting, Leon. I have taken a look at all ongoing investigations on your profile. Indeed, there was an investigation about your bounty, and I am here to tell you that the investigation has already been concluded.”

‘It’s done already? They work faster than I anticipated.’ Leo thought to himself, but he wasn’t complaining.

“After looking at the details of the investigation, it appears that there was no bounty on you.”

“Wait. What did you just say? That there is no bounty on me?” Leo doubted his ears.

“That is indeed correct. The guild has looked into all active bounties but found no bounty on you.” The worker confirmed.

“That’s impossible! I had multiple people attack me and confirm that there was a bounty on me! Could they have removed the bounty before the investigation could find it?!” Leo asked.

“We are able to look through all active and inactive bounties, including completed and deleted bounties, so there is no way that we could’ve missed it. There is only one explanation for this— that the bounty isn’t an official bounty. Unofficial bounties are much harder to track, but our investigators have gone through multiple sources and were unable to find anything about your bounty. I’m sorry, Leon, but there is nothing else we can do for you.”

Leo was left speechless by the results of the investigation.

“Ask him about the special mission.” Lilith suddenly said to him.

Leo snapped out of his daze and asked, “What about my special mission? Who assigned me to it? Was it the Guildmaster?”

“No, the Guildmaster doesn’t have the authority to assign Adventurers to specific special missions. Most of the time, it’s all randomized by the system. However, if you think that you’d been chosen for your special mission, then it was most likely done by someone at the Adventurers’ Bureau.” The worker explained to him.

‘The Guildmaster wasn’t behind my mission? And what the hell is the Adventurers’ Bureau?’ Leo was dumbfounded by the results once again.

“It appears that we have jumped to conclusions and mistook the Guildmaster as the culprit behind your bounty and the special mission. However, this raises even more questions. Why would someone at the Adventurers’ Bureau mess with you? They don’t usually interfere with matters unless it’s an emergency,” Lilith said with a pondering look on her face.

“Let’s talk about it later.” Leo said to her.

“I understand. Thank you for the information. By the way, I am now a C-Rank Adventurer, right?”

“Indeed. I am currently working on your new ID as we speak.” The worker nodded.

A couple of minutes later, the worker handed Leo his new ID.

[Name: Leon] [ID:1505737101]

[Adventurer Rank: C]

[DOB:04/29/2022] [Blood: O+]

[Sponsor: Camille Light(ID:646090913)]

[Expiration: 01/01/2050]

Leo thanked the worker one last time before leaving the Adventurers’ Guild and removed his disguise before calling a taxi.

“Four Witches Academy.” Leo said to the driver.

While he waited, Leo asked, “Hey, Lilith, what’s the Adventurers’ Bureau? What do they do?”

“They’re basically the political version of the Adventurers’ Guild. They also work directly with the government to keep the cities in this world safe, so they’re more influential than the Adventurers’ Guild. They also handle most of the high-rank missions and special missions.”

“And they’re the ones who assigned me to the special mission, right? Why? There was no way that I had been randomly chosen by the system because Lia seemed surprised that the Adventurers’ Guild would send someone with my talents to become a sacrifice.”

“You’re asking the wrong person, Leo. I don’t know much about the Adventurers’ Bureau besides the general stuff that most people know. You should speak with Miss Camille about this matter. She’ll definitely have more insight.” Lilith said.

“That’s what I plan on doing.”

Sometime later, Leo returned to the academy.

After going back to the dorm, Leo took a long shower before heading straight to bed.

The following morning, Leo went to the cafeteria for breakfast before going to the infirmary to look for Miss Camille.

“She’s not here… Where could she be?” Leo mumbled.

He decided to wander the academy until he found another teacher.

“Excuse me, do you know where I can find Miss Camille?”

“Did you try the infirmary?”

“I did.”

“How about the teachers’ lounge?”

“No, I will try that next. Thank you.”

Leo went to look at the teachers’ lounge next, but Miss Camille wasn’t there either.

However, one of the teachers there knew about her location.

“Miss Camille is currently in a meeting with the Headmistress.”

“I see… Thank you.”

Leo returned to the infirmary and waited for Miss Camille to return.

Meanwhile, inside the Headmistress’ room, Miss Camille and Headmistress Eva sat before some tea.

“How are Leo’s injuries? Will he be able to participate in the Wilderness Training Course?” Eva asked.

“He’s recovering just fine. I also believe he’s ready to participate in the training course.”

“That’s great to hear. What about the tournament? Think he’ll be able to handle the top students from the other academies?”

Miss Camille pondered for a moment before speaking, “Unfortunately, I don’t think he’s ready to fight with the top students from the other academies at his current state. However, it’s hard to say how much he’ll improve between now and then.”

‘Of course, if he could use magic, that would be a different story.’ Miss Camille thought to herself.

Sometime later, Miss Camille asked, “How is the investigation on Leo’s disappearance going? Do we know what happened to him? He may be alive, but I can’t shake this uneasy feeling in my guts. After all, this incident was dangerous enough to heavily injure someone like Leo, even causing him to have amnesia.”

“The investigation is still progressing. However, we should get an update after the Wilderness Training Course.” Eva said.

And she continued, “It’s actually taking longer than I’d anticipated. There are just so many unanswered questions and things that don’t make sense. Honestly, there might be someone out there trying to hinder our investigation.”

Miss Camille frowned upon hearing this, but she wasn’t surprised.

“Thank you for the information. I’ll try to look into it as well.”

“If you find out anything, let me know. I don’t want you doing anything rash, Camille. Your main focus right now is to help Leo recover from his injuries and amnesia.”

“I know,” she nodded.

“Anyways, what is Leo doing now?” Eva suddenly asked.

“He’s training.”

“By himself?” Eva raised an eyebrow.

“He’ll be fine.”

After talking for a little longer, Miss Camille left the room and returned to the infirmary to find Leo lying on one of the beds.

“What are you doing here…?” she asked him with a weird look on her face.

Leo sat up with a smile on his face.

“Look at this.”

He displayed his new Adventurers’ ID for Miss Camille.

“You actually managed to achieve C-Rank in such a short time…?” Miss Camille’s eyes widened with surprise.

“Yeah, but it wasn’t easy. I almost died multiple times.” He shrugged.

Miss Camille locked the doors before taking a seat in her chair.

“Tell me about it.”

Leo nodded and proceeded to tell her everything about his recent experience, greatly shocking her.

After two hours of nonstop talking, Leo took a deep breath and ended his story with, “To end it all, it’s about my goal for this world. Although it’s nothing grand or ambitious, I think it’s a fairly important one, which is to survive this world. Honestly, I wouldn’t blame you even if you don’t consider this a real goal. However, this will be my focus until I find something that I want to achieve even at the cost of my life.”

“…”

Miss Camille closed her eyes and started rubbing her eyes.

Sometime later, she released a long sigh.

“I left you alone for barely two weeks and you’ve managed to get yourself in so much trouble. I’m afraid what might happen to you if I leave you alone for even a little longer…”

“You can’t blame me for this! I am a victim here!” Leo exclaimed.

“I know. However, this bounty of yours is quite troublesome.”

“Do you have any idea about who might be behind it? I thought it was Guildmaster Borus at first, but that no longer seems like the case…” Leo sighed.

“Give me a moment to think about it.” Miss Camille began pondering in silence.
