Investigation in progress

There was a sound of knock unto the door the person inside the office responded to the man who was knocking to the door.

"Come in."

The door opens there it reveals the person sitting in the middle of the office it was Captain Doloris reviewing the papers at her table. She didn't look at the person who came into her office as she knew who the person was. It was First Lieutenant Finn who is bringing more papers to send to the Captain. He then puts the paper on her left side as she continues to work while he gives a copy of the information and starts to speak for the report.

"I have the information that you have sent me to investigate about the victim of the hot spring incident. The man's name was Vincent Hallward age 36 he was working as a hairstylist of the Devlion Salon for 8 years. He has a previous rape scandal back he was working 6 years ago but it was covered by the owner of the salon to avoid losing the reputation of the shop."

"Bastard..." it was a murmured by the Captain Doloris though soft Finn heard what she said as he ignored what she said as he continues to his report.

"Vincent Hallward was the nephew of the store owner named Daniel Hallward the victim of the scandal was sadly tuck away from the public's eyes. What's even worse is that the victim's reputation was destroyed, and didn't manage to get married to her fiance because of the scandal. The victim is living alone and currently living a new life after she leaves her hometown and moves to the current place she is living right now."

"And lastly is the investigation of the nightshade fragment from the forensic it was reported that the nightshade fragment came from the illegal auction house. The auction house is owned by Count Elford based on the spies that I sent for the investigation. It seems that he went rampant believing that Knight Order didn't notice his business in the underworld."

Nightshade fragments are poisonous ores they look like mercury but they are the strongest metal if one needs unparalleled skills in blacksmiths. Since they are harder to make solid, but once they are made they can be flexible depending on the user it can control the density of the weapon. They are ban to use as they are side effects using this weapon the user can become addicted, prolong use of the nightshade fragment it would produce some hallucinations. As well as slowly urging the host to kill more and more until the host would lose its sanity, and go rampage killing any living beings along the way. The nightshade fragments are not poisonous to the animals they only humanoid beings.

"That would be all Captain."

Captain Doloris's face was solemn as she absorbs the information that was reported as she begins to tap her table. Finn notices her behavior he knows when she starts tapping the table means she is making a decision so he didn't disturb her. As she swivels her chair back from Finn as she watches the people walking in the streets. Free from worries living their normal lives but behind the surface lies the danger as she sighs then turns towards Finn.

"I remember the two youths that were part of the incident where are they?"

"I believe that they would be rushing to the academy as they have only one week left for the entrance ceremony."

She suddenly stands up and starts to towards the door as she walks down the hall together with Finn.

"It seems we need to help them arrived at the academy don't you think Finn?"

"Indeed you are right Captain." he sly smiles at her which earns a smirk from her as they walk to the location of the two youths.

Two youths are standing in the train station shivering and cold from the weather, as to how they got into this situation we would rewind the time. After they leave the inn as they go towards the train station as they planned but sometimes things don't go out plan. There was suddenly a hail they started to run like crazy to arrive at the station. But when they arrived the ride for the Academy has long already left and they are stuck for 12 hours before another train arrived at this destination and here they are.

"It's c-cold right?" Elijah's trying to chat with Alexius to make the atmosphere lively up but the weather did not cooperate with his intention. There was a strong cold breeze pass by at them which made them even shiver even though they are inside the station. It was still cold as if an Ice Queen was sitting near them which there WAS thought it is not an Ice Queen but her kin a winter spirit. A winter spirit physical appearance similar to humans' ears is a bit sharp, except that they are exceptionally beautiful and their body is literally cold. They literally release cold air around them within 5 meters the temperature would be around 34 degrees celsius. When the human body is exposed to 33 degrees celsius you can experience amnesia the lower the temperature you could either become unconscious, hypothermia and death. The magician can warm themselves using magic though it drains their mana when used for prolong time. The physical limit of Alexius is much higher than the average humans so this kind of temperature is somewhat bearable without using magic. Elves, however, are sensitive to the cold temperature especially forest elves they typically live in tropical or rain forests so they really easily get cold in this type of temperature.

She was 5 meters away from them, making them the first to experience the intense coldness. The people that were around them started to disperse and move to another location for a warmer location. Well, why don't you move away too? we already did but it's just this person seems to be trying to get closer to us every time we moved away. We moved 1 meter away from her she moves 1-meter closer to us making our distance getting shorter and shorter. Which resulted in the temperature below 21 degrees celsius.

This was the situation that Alexius and Elijah are facing right now looking like shriveled cats in cold winter.
