scribble! scribble!

Frederic was sitting in his office, moving his hands in quick but exhausting movements to sign the accumulated papers in front of him.

He couldn't help but sigh tiredly as he looked at the stack of papers that needed a signature

I can't wait to retire.... Frederic was bitter every time he had to do this work

He is one of the most powerful men in the world, and a member of the Supreme Council that rules the most powerful empire

Why does he have to do ridiculous office work?

All of this is because of the laws that force him to approve all materials entering the academy, as he is the most important person in the academy and its president

He couldn't change these laws just because he wanted to

So he couldn't help but curse the person who made these rules

He picked up a piece of paper and placed it in front of him and was about to sign it

But his hands stopped before the pen touched the paper

His eyes froze at the sent request

Import one hundred teddy bears

There were a lot of companies that had stores within the academy grounds

All this is in order to provide all the needs of students and employees so that they can dispense with the outside world during the study period to focus on performing their tasks

But almost all stores included specific types of materials

Food, potions, weapons and some necessary technical devices

But he had never had a request to introduce something like teddy bears before

"..." Who is the idiot who wants to import these things?

He had a slight feeling that there was something wrong with this request

He looked at the name of the person who made the request

Alexander Ford

"..." Now I'm sure there's something fishy about this

Should I refuse?...Frederic frowned, taking the matter seriously

With the experience he gained from dealing with the mass of misfortunes called Alexander, he knows that this brat is up to something

Even if he was beaten to death, he would not believe that Alexander would do something normal and harmless

Does he want to smuggle dangerous materials inside those dolls?

Or are the dolls themselves made of banned materials?

All possibilities crossed his mind as he thought about Alexander's intentions

But he decided not to refuse the request, because he knew Alexander's annoying personality

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

He will definitely come to the office and start making a fuss about it

Frederic certainly had no right to refuse a request to import something to the academy without justifiable reason

But his doubt was not a justification for rejecting this request

Alexander will certainly use this to his advantage

Instead of all this headache he decided to do something different

Frederic opened the desk drawer, took out a red stamp, and stamped the paper

This was the ultimate inspection stamp

There were a few attempts to smuggle some prohibited materials into the academy

Therefore, this stamp was made in case the Dean of the Academy suspects the presence of dangerous materials in one of the shipments that were imported to the Academy

Although the last smuggling attempt occurred twenty years ago, precaution is better than regretting later

If there was anything wrong with those dolls, Frederic would kick Alexander's ass if he dared come into the office

-----------------------

A man wearing an academy guard uniform ran down one of the corridors, panting

The man kicked the door and screamed. "We have an emergency..."

The guards who were resting inside the room turned to him

"What's going on, Morty?..." said a man who was leafing through a few documents on a table in front of him

Morty held up a piece of paper he was holding in his hand. “There is a shipment that we need to inspect quickly, boss.”

"It's just a regular inspection. What's all this fuss about?" One of the guards threw his cigarette on the ground and stepped on it with his shoe

“It's not just a regular inspection...” Morty pointed to the red stamp on the paper. “It is the ultimate inspection.”

“…” Everyone stared at the red stamp in astonishment

But their astonishment soon turned to anxiety

The last ultimate inspection warrant came to them was two decades ago

At that time there were clashes between the empire and some separatist militias in the southern region

This shipment contained a huge amount of explosives

When the guards tried to search the box, a huge explosion occurred

Most of the guards were able to survive the explosion due to their high level

But a novice guard died and two other guards were injured

All the old employees remembered that painful incident in which one of their colleagues died in such a terrible way

There was another incident in which a quantity of spoiled potions was smuggled into the academy, which led to the poisoning of three students.

Therefore, strict procedures have been set for suspicious shipments to be examined before they are opened or brought into the academy

And now, after many years, a new shipment has come to them

Everyone's attention turned to the man who was sitting on the sofa with the documents in his hands

The man dropped the documents, got up, and started walking toward the door

The rest of the guards got up and began to follow him silently

More than thirty men stood around a plain wooden box

Although everything seemed normal, none of them relaxed their defenses and the atmosphere was tense

A man wearing a protective helmet came forward and handed an envelope to the head of the academy's guards

The head of the guard opened the envelope and began to look at the information about this shipment

The head guard frowned and began to read the information again to make sure there was no mistake

All the guards noticed that something was wrong

A middle-aged guard approached his boss. "Is there a problem, Ron?"

“I don’t know either, Gerber...” Ron handed the information sheet to his colleague. “This information shows that there are teddy bears inside the box.”

Gerber studied the information sheet with a frown, then turned to Morty, who was standing at the back of the group. "Morty, are you sure this is the same shipment we should be examining?"

Morty stepped forward. “According to the inspection order, the shipment to be examined is shipment 213.”

Everyone looked at the number stuck on the box

The shipment number was (213)

This means that there was no error in the information

"Everyone stand back and prepare themselves." Ron walked over to the box and tried to open it

Everyone swallowed as they retreated to a safe distance in case any explosion occurred

Ron was wearing a suit and helmet equipped to protect him in the event of any explosion, so he would be safe

That's why they have to stay away and prepare themselves for any emergency

Ron opened the box, picked up a teddy bear, and shook it several times

But nothing happened

Ron took out a knife and tore open the doll's stomach, but he found nothing but some wool and materials used to stuff dolls.

"What?." Ron's voice was full of bewilderment

He grabbed another doll and tore open the abdominal area, but he did not find anything either

“Hmm...” Ron stroked his chin as he thought about why this shipment was being sent to inspection

He started to use his mind, which had gone through a lot of strange issues

Ron's eyes lit up as his mind racked up a possible idea. “These dolls may be made of suspicious materials.”

"But it seems normal to me." Gerber flipped one of the dolls over and did not notice any abnormalities

“We won't know if we don't try.” Ron threw a teddy bear at Morty. "Go to the academy's lab and ask them to check what these things are made of."

“As you command.” Marty moved without any delay

Thirty minutes later

Morty returned with a disappointed expression on his face

Gerber approached him. “So what is the result?”

“Everything is normal and there are no suspicious substances.” Morty answered with his head lowered and looking genuinely annoyed

"Did something happen to you there?" Gerber raised an eyebrow

“The head of the Laboratory Division scolded me, saying that I wasted their time...” Morty's face was filled with injustice. “He says we have nothing important to do so we send them such stupid things to check and...”

Morty stopped talking and looked at Ron hesitantly

" And...?" Ron asked

“The head of the Laboratory Division told me to tell you that you owe him lunch a week ago, and he asked you when you plan to fulfill your promise.”

"Tsk…" Ron clicked his tongue

He avoided going to the laboratory division himself so as not to meet that person

But it seems that this scoundrel was more impudent than he seemed, so he used Morty as a messenger to send this message

"So they're just regular teddy bears?" Gerber put his hands on his hips and looked at the box of teddy bears

“It seems so.” Ron stood next to him as he picked up the teddy bear whose belly he had torn out and whispered in Gerber's ear. “Gerber, do you know how to sew?”

Gerber looked around carefully to make sure no one heard that. "How did you know that?"

“I saw a sewing kit in your closet by chance.”

“It's just a hobby to relieve stress.”

“Today we were under a lot of pressure...” Ron passed the torn teddy bear to Gerber with a sly smile. "How about you sew this bear up to relieve that pressure?"

“...” Gerber looked at him with a blank expression

It was clear that Ron was using him to fix the bear instead of sending it to a tailor and paying the money

“Alright...” Gerber grabbed the teddy bear, thinking of a way to get revenge on Ron
