“Why are there always problems around you?”

My body trembled when I heard Walter's harsh voice coming from the screen in front of me

Once Swanson caught me, he took me to the academy principal's office

He didn't ask me anything on our way, so it was suspicious

This means that the person who will be interrogating me is not Swanson, but someone else

Most likely, this person is the rotten old man

I had to prepare a selection of answers in order to pass safely

“What can I do...” I sighed, looking at the ground under my feet, “I try to walk next to the wall, but the wall always falls on my head. Is this my fault?”

"..." Are you going to play the victim?

I'm sure Walter was not convinced by these words

I was often the focus of problems

But this time it's about a strange monster that appeared in a peaceful city

He certainly asks a fundamental question, which is what is the connection between Alexander, Robin Hood, and that monster

“Why did you run away suddenly?”

I looked at the small screen on which Walter's face, full of annoying wrinkles, was displayed when this expected question came

“I wanted some private time.”

“Do you think this justifies what you did?” Walter shouted irritably, seeming even more convinced that there was a flaw in the answer, “All these warriors are here to protect you, but you are doing reckless things like running away.”

I lowered my head with an expression of remorse

This was necessary to control the situation

I can't pretend to be strong right now because that will be met with a strong reaction from Walter

I have to soften the situation and ease it if I want to get out without losses

“I wanted some time to walk with myself, is that wrong?”

“Of course it is wrong…” Walter raised his voice sharply, “You are not in a position to be demanding.”

“Okay, stop here...” Anna, who had been standing aside throughout the interrogation, took a step forward and addressed Walter, “Young people need their own time. He must have felt pressure from his new environment. It’s not that easy, you know.” "

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

I smiled inwardly when I saw Anna interject

Although I had limited interaction with this woman, I was able to learn a lot about her personality

She is an overly considerate type and may sometimes cross boundaries, especially towards young people who are going through difficult circumstances

I confirmed this when I learned that she was training and caring for Charlotte

This woman would definitely come forward and defend me if she heard about the dire circumstances I was going through

“Do you really believe his lie?...” Walter asked in astonishment

"..." I'm still here you know

“It is clear that he is feigning innocence. He is skilled at lying to those who do not know him.”

".." You're making it personal now

"Who said it was a lie?" Anna continued her defense

Walter turned his attention back to me, and then I realized that I was about to face another question

"Why did you come out of the bathroom window?"

"Like I said, I wanted some private time and I knew Swanson wouldn't let me do that, so I had to run away like this."

“Where did you walk?”

“I don’t know the names of the city’s streets, but I passed a street with a lot of shops selling used collectibles.”

I was aware of the game Walter was using

He would ask a group of quick questions and wait for a quick answer from me, then he would repeat these questions in another way, waiting for any mistake to come out on my part in order to catch me red-handed.

Did he really think that someone like me who had gone through countless interrogations would fall into such a trivial trap?

Anna slowly stroked her chin, “It must be Farron Street. That place is a gathering of antique sellers.”

Walter threw another question, “What did you see there?”

“I saw a lot of old items, and I particularly liked a long, old watch, but it looked elegant. I wanted to buy it, but thanks to you, I now don’t have the money.”

Anna looked at Walter surprised

Walter coughed in embarrassment

Alexander's words put all the blame on him, even though Alexander was at fault from the beginning

Walter couldn't help but click his tongue as Alexander's words shattered the momentum he had been gathering since the beginning of the conversation

“I heard that you were carrying a small sports bag with you. What was in that bag?”

“I used it to hide the phone and headphones in a tree trunk...”

" Why...?" Walter held himself for a moment

“Do you seriously think that I don’t know that there are tracking devices in the headset and phone?”

“…” Walter remained silent

The bag I prepared contains the mask and gown I used for this mission

There was something extra, which was another bag of the same type

The design of these bags made them easy to fold and carry, so it was not difficult to stuff them inside the bag

The plan was to use the first bag to carry the mask and gown, while I would take the second bag out after I managed to escape to put the phone and headset in and then hide them in a safe place.

Swanson will follow the signal from these devices, which will lead him to the location of the second bag

While the first bag containing the school uniform was located somewhere else far away

Of course I wouldn't be able to go commit a massacre while wearing an academic uniform

How am I going to go to the academy the next day with a blood-stained uniform?

After I finish, I will return to wearing my academic clothes and get rid of the gown

As for the mask, I will put it inside my jacket

There is no way I can get rid of this mask

The Robin Hood mask became my brand

“Okay...” Walter accepted these words easily

Because Swanson informed him that they found the bag containing the phone and headphones

“We'll stop here...” Walter exhaled, thinking that he would not be able to get a word out in this interrogation

Oh, just that...I didn't imagine Walter would give up so easily

“From today, you are forbidden from taking a single step outside the academy...”

“This—” I wanted to object

But Walter quickly said, “I have strictly ordered the officers to break your legs if you insist on going out.”

“ Going out? Why would I want to going out...” I reluctantly agreed because I knew this was the time I had to stop objecting or it wouldn't end well.

“A special tracking device will be attached to you to prevent you from repeating this matter again...”

“Do you want to put a dog collar on me?”

“Do you have an objection?”

“Any normal human being with an ounce of dignity would object to this.”

“We will reactivate your bank account if you do this.”

"Please check the collar size so it doesn't bother me when I wear it."

"..." Where has your dignity gone?

Anna was speechless

She was ready to step in again to work out a compromise

But what can she do if the person in question gives in under the temptation of money?

Walter nodded, proud of himself for letting his victim fall into the trap so easily

“So…” I rubbed my hands excitedly, “When will you return the money to me?.”

" tomorrow morning..."

Yay, more money....

I got up and headed towards the door, ready to take a break

“Wait a minute...” My steps froze when I heard Walter’s voice behind me

Then he continued, “What were you talking about with that doctor in the hospital?”

I turned to Walter strangely

Did that doctor tell them something odd?

“I had a stomach ache so I went there. Is there a problem?” I answered briefly

" only that?..."

“Yes...” my feeling increased that something was wrong

Why did he seem so urgent to ask about this matter?

“Is something wrong?” I couldn't resist asking again

“She told the officers that we need to send you to a psychiatrist as soon as possible.”

"..." That doctor's certificate must be forged
