Their world doesn't need gods.

Chapter 163 What you should do in the confinement room is to reflect on yourself! (1)

?◇?◇?◇?◇?

The time came in the afternoon.

With the help of Alfred and Emilia, the puppet's out-of-control commotion finally came to an end.

However, when everyone found the puppeteer's proxy repeater, it seemed that due to Roderick's long-term overload operation, the magic device had been completely destroyed due to damage to the magic circuit.

Roderick himself had no way of explaining where he got the proxy repeater with a diameter of more than three meters and a height of more than two meters.

The student union naturally found out that he frequented the night street almost every day during this period.

Using puppeteer props illegally to cause a large-scale riot, bringing dangerous magic devices into the campus without permission, leaving the campus without permission during the curfew...

Due to numerous disciplinary violations, which resulted in more than twenty students being injured, Roderick was thrown into a dungeon beneath the main castle of Illya and was placed under confinement for a whole week.

At the same time, he was required to write a self-criticism of at least 40,000 words, explaining the details of the incident to the school and the student union, and reporting the incident to his family.

According to Cecilia, the school also plans to file a complaint against Roderick's hometown, Count Zimmerman's family, demanding high compensation for the school's losses and the injured students.

In short, Roderick got into big trouble this time.

However, this is actually understandable because what he did was so dangerous.

The Puppet Master's Proxy Repeater is clearly listed in the Empire's laws as a special magical device for military use only, and even its use by the military is subject to extremely strict management.

The mere fact that he obtained this thing through illegal means is enough to get Roderick sentenced to a heavy sentence.

The school didn't want to make a big deal out of it and get too involved with the palace, which had been particularly tense recently, so they decided to punish Roderick on campus. However, due to Illya Arya's extraterritoriality, the imperial government couldn't intervene directly.

In addition, in order to avoid joint liability, Roderick's hometown also spent a lot of money on secret mediation.

Therefore, Roderick's punishment was just seven days of confinement in school and writing a 40,000-word apology.

This is an extremely lenient approach that could not be more lenient.

Of course, Roderick, who was imprisoned in the dungeon, knew nothing about these things.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Because in the game, using the Puppet Master's Proxy Repeater to brush experience and item materials in the later stages is a very common way to hang up.

Those who don't use it are fools.

Roderick was very lucky and felt that he had hit upon a lucky jackpot when he accidentally came across a puppeteer agent repeater being resold by a noble associated with the military on the black market in the night street.

"Damn it, damn it! They actually broke my precious props, and those puppets too! What on earth were those people thinking?! They are such assholes!"

Roderick felt furious when he thought about the destruction of the Puppet Master's proxy repeater.

What made him even more upset was that before being locked up in the dungeon, he heard the student union members talking about Alfred's heroic deeds.

"Tsk, he's clearly the villain leader. Those stupid women are trying to please him. Aren't they all fools?! It's obvious that I'm the one..."

Roderick slammed his fist on the bed to vent his anger.

But he soon regretted it.

“Oooooh! That hurts!”

Because the bed in the dungeon was just a thin straw mat on a low stone platform.

Roderick felt no different from smashing his fist into the stone platform with all his strength.

Looking at his red and swollen hands, the resentment in his heart became even more intense.

At this time, someone knocked on the iron door of the dungeon and opened the peephole above.

(It’s already this late, who is it?)

Roderick clicked his lips in displeasure.

However, he saw an unexpected person.

“Eh?! M-Ms. Marina?! Why are you here?”

Roderick could not hide his astonishment, and his voice broke a little.

Marina gave a friendly and lovely smile and put her fingers to her lips to make a shushing gesture.

Roderick immediately realized his gaffe, covered his mouth with his hands in panic, and nodded quickly to indicate that he understood what she meant.

"Actually, I heard that Zimmerman... Can I just call you Roderick? I felt very sympathetic after hearing about your situation, so I wanted to come and visit you."

Marina explained her purpose in a tone full of sadness and sympathy.

“Eh?! Really… B-but why are you here…”

"Haha, didn't I tell you? I'm actually Illya and Alia's advisor as well. It's just that I'm an advisor at the Advanced Studies Department, so I usually stay in my own research room and rarely come out."

"I-I see, that's how it is. No wonder I've never seen you before."

Hearing Marina's answer, Roderick suddenly realized.

Illya Alia's curriculum, from the first to the fourth grade of the elementary department, is similar to Roderick's previous life's school, except that students are given more spare time. In addition to the weekends, there is also a holiday on Friday afternoons.

After the fifth grade, and the subsequent middle and high school departments, the time spent in school will become overwhelmingly short.

Most students would leave school frequently to go out on adventures to collect powerful monsters to use as puppets, or to collect materials to complete research projects.

Even if they return to school, most of them are on vacation or stay in the research rooms they rent.

I will only go to my tutor when I encounter a problem that I cannot solve, or when I have completed the original project and it is time to hand in the homework.

All that remains is to take a final exam at the end of each semester.

For this reason, the tutors in charge of these students actually have an easy job. Their daily work is more like that of scholars or researchers than that of teachers.

If Marina was the kind of person who was keen on her own research and locked herself in the laboratory all day long.

Roderick thought it was not surprising that he had never seen her in the academy.

"Mr. Roderick, would you mind chatting with me?"

Marina suggested.

"Of course I don't mind, but is it really good for you to be here? Like time, and research and so on."

Roderick was very happy, but also a little embarrassed, and spoke shyly.

"You don't have to worry about me, Roderick. I just want to take a break during this period of time. Also, I am very interested in you."

Marina replied.

"In fact, I watched your duel with Ulysses. I think the tactics you adopted at that time were very interesting. And the puppets you had were also very strong. They were not at the level of first-year students at all."
