Hunter Academy: Revenge of the Weakest novel Chapter 201

Chapter 201 44.3 - Investigation

"Yes."

I opened the call.

<Astron, are you here?>

"Yes."

It was a pointless question, but it seems Senior Amelia was a little restless.

<Just now, two officers from the Local Awakened Security came to us. Sylvie recognized the two.>

"Margareta?"

<Yes, one of them was named Margareta, and the other one was Harlan. According to Sylvie, they were the ones that had taken her out of the basement.>

"Is that so? What did they say?"

<They asked me a bunch of questions about Maya's whereabouts and where she was last seen.>

"I see…."

I nodded my head. If Senior Maya was the one who disappeared, the Academy is bound to take action. After all, she is one of the most important prospects for the future as she is the first-ranked student.

Also, this is certainly not a usual case, with both Sylvie being attempted to kidnapping and Maya disappearing.

'I guess the Academy is already putting pressure on them.'

<Were you able to find anything?>

"Not much. I am still looking around. Did you mention them about me?"

<Well…..>

"So, you did?"

<Yeah.>

Hearing this, I wanted to release a hearty sigh. After all, if they knew that I was wandering alone on my own, they may block me for overstepping my authority, which is something I am certainly doing.

'Well, it might not be that bad.'

No matter what, at some point, Awakened Police and the government are bound to be involved in this situation anyway, and if what I had seen at that time is correct, this time, the demon is pretty strong.

'I will try to progress as much as I can alone.'

<Was it bad?>

"No, it is fine. You did what you were supposed to."

<Then, we are going to look around a little as well. Do you want us to search for something?>

As she mentioned that, I suddenly got an idea.

"I do."

<Please, tell. We will do our best to help you.>

"I need you to delve into the local stories and legends of Western Uxbridge. Dig deep into the city's past, any tales of unusual occurrences, supernatural events, or anything that might provide insights into the origins."

In fact, I really didn't need such information. After all, most of the time, the stories wouldn't be much of a help. However, Amelia and Sylvie need something to calm themselves down and distract themselves.

Sylvie because she had just seen quite a traumatic scene, and Amelia because she feels restless.

<Local stories and legends? What is it for?>

"This doesn't feel like a normal case."

<I see…..>

The sound didn't seem to be convincing, so I played my last card.

"I think it is related to her disappearance."

<…..Understood. We'll start our investigation right away. Anything specific you're looking for?>

"Nothing much. I just want to learn the history of this city. Focus more on the unrecorded tales."

<Got it. We'll contact you as soon as we find something substantial. Take care out there.>

"Thank you, Senior Amelia. Keep me posted."

The call ended, and I turned my attention back to the task at hand.

I hailed a passing cab, and as I settled into the back seat, I retrieved my smartwatch to review the documents the Horde had compiled.

"Sir, where are you going?"

"Elm Avenue."

"Old library?"

"Yes."

"Understood."

The vehicle smoothly navigated the streets, and I delved into the information on the missing individuals.
