Milia closed her eyes for a moment before speaking, "I came here due to the incident with the Magical Beast in the ocean that you were involved with."

"That much I know," Lucau nodded. "But as I said, I have already given the full report of the event."

"Yes," Milia continued. "The Marina Guard called a Magus to check, and I was selected to carry out the investigation. I found traces of high-level Magical Energy in the water. It became clear to me that someone had tried to lure the beast out of the water, so I'm making this visit to gather more details from you. After all, you were the victim. Do you know anything else that could be used to help with this investigation?"

How could Lucau not know? The culprit was right there in the kitchen, learning how to make tea... not that he would say that, of course. "I'm sorry, but it was too fast. First, I got a lot of Tunas, then the White Stripped Demon Whales arrived. Lastly, they all fled when that monster appeared. Now my boat is history..."

Milia narrowed her eyes. "Following the traces, it indicates that it originated right where your boat was located. Are you sure you don't know anything?"

Lucau was an old fox, so he showed an angry expression in response. "Are you implying I lured that thing out of the water just to have myself killed and my boat destroyed? I'm sorry, miss, but that doesn't make much sense."

Milia shook her head. "Perhaps that wasn't your intention. Perhaps someone was truly just trying... who knows? Gather more Tunas for you to capture, and things spiraled out of control?"

Lucau and Alvin couldn't help but feel impressed. To think this girl would hit the nail that easily. Of course, they still couldn't mention the truth. "Hum... I definitely tried to attract more Whiskers Tunas, but I used my Undersea Magic Wave Generator to do that, like I did so many times. Could it be that it got some issue and ended up calling that Magical Beast?"

Milia pondered a bit and couldn't discard that possibility, even if it was hard to believe. "Such equipment shouldn't have the capability to achieve such result. However, I will admit it is possible. Unfortunately, the Level Two Magical Beast ate your whole boat, so I can't check that anymore."

Lucau nodded. "That's a bummer indeed. By the way, I'm going to file for insurance tomorrow, so I should get a similar boat to my own again. If you want, you can check the Undersea Magic Wave Generator in it when I get the boat from the insurance company."

This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

Milia sighed. "It's pointless. I would need the same one that was taken by the beast."

Linfelia then came to the room with several tea cups filled with warm tea. "Here, Miss Milia. It is simple, but I guarantee the quality."

Milia nodded and took a sip out of respect. "It is indeed very good, thank you," she said without a change of expression.

Seeing that she wasn't getting anywhere, she decided to end the conversation there, even though she felt like they were hiding something. "Anyway, it seems like this case will go without resolution. I will just add that it might have been a defective Wave Generator in the report."

Milia didn't really care too much about this case. There were no deaths, and any prof was gone with the sea beast. She only dug it deeper out of curiosity. Since the victim himself didn't seem to want to talk, she had no reason to waste more time here. It was all part of the task given by the academy, after all, and she has completed it.

Milia then got up, preparing to leave.

"Ah, wait!" Yet, Alvin couldn't help but call her attention.

Linfelia and Lucau looked at him, puzzled. Why is he stopping her?

Naturally, so was Milia. "Is there anything else you wish to add?"

"Eh? Errr... No, not really." Alvin was a little lost at what to do. It wasn't every day he had the chance to talk with someone like her. If he tried as much as exchange a single word in the academy, he would probably be blocked by her legion of bodyguards before she even noticed his existence. Due to the difference in talents, they were in different classes, too.

Lucau looked at that and finally understood, so he just faintly smiled and said nothing.

Finally, Alvin remembered something and decided to ask. "I just wanted to ask you something else. That Level Two Magic Beast. Have you found which one it was?"

Lucau was taken back to that day by that question. Indeed, he was also curious about it.

Milia shook her head, though. "Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out. By the time I arrived, it had gone back to the bottom. However, the few debris that remained were taken, and I should get a result by tomorrow. The teeth marks on them should point out which type."

Alvin's eyes lit up. "Alright! I'm going back to the academy tomorrow anyway, so I'll ask you then. Would that be a problem?"

Milia pondered a bit and shook her head. "It's not a problem. Very well. I'll let my personal know." She could have just said she would send a report through the MCOM. However, she still thought something wasn't right, so she might as well use this opportunity to find out what.

Milia left the house, followed by her many bodyguards. Soon, they entered several vehicles and left the premises.

Once they returned inside, Linfel finally came out of the kitchen. "Did I really have to keep hiding?"

"Asked the wisp who almost talked about how he destroyed my father's boat to Milia and got busted," Alvin answered helplessly.

The wisp looked away, pretending to not hear anything. "It's such a nice day today, isn't it?" It was night...

"Hmph!" Alvin decided to let it slide.

It was then that an arm appeared around his shoulder—it was his father. "Now, now, now... Why don't you tell your father more about that young lady? You seemed very interested in continuing that conversation instead of just letting her go away."

Alvin bitterly smiled. He should have seen it coming.
