A Night Patrol squad leader died in broad daylight, followed closely by the arrest of Viscount Montreal. The news reached the Canon Law School, causing quite a stir—had a noble actually fallen into the abyss and become an Inhaler?

Of course, the case is still pending investigation, and the truth is still flying around. People are merely gossiping and heatedly discussing it.

The development of Hex-Tech has transformed the existing form of productivity. Urban populations have concentrated, production efficiency has greatly increased, and a new class is bound to emerge. The conflict between this new class, which controls advanced technology and interests, and the old aristocratic class, which holds a large amount of resources and power, is inevitable. This conflict and the power of the new class are Luthor's trump card in becoming the first Grand Governor of Li Long Kingdom.

The new era brings new challenges. The Celestial Capital Canon Law School made its name by stepping on the old order in Li Long Kingdom and even the Dao Yuan Continent. Now that the order is changing again, Celestial Capital faces enormous challenges.

The Canon Law School's committee this term has put in the effort. The special recruits are not just a name; Lu Shuai is, without doubt, the Lu Family's star. He's irrefutable in every aspect, and his own strength is first-rate.

Huerta is an outstanding young talent from the Saxon Tribe, and one of the committee members of the Canon Law School spent considerable effort recruiting him. With proper training, he will become the backbone of the school.

Roland was a talent the school struggled to recruit from cities that had previously collaborated with Hex-Tech. After all, there are only so many candidates in Celestial Capital, and other regions are closely watched by their respective Canon Law Schools. Celestial Capital has a slight advantage with overseas relations—if not utilized now, it will fall further out of favor.

As for Li Xin, he was strongly recommended by the newly appointed Grand Wind Discipline Officer. Other committee members, out of courtesy, found it hard to refuse the officer's sole request.

With the official unveiling of the special recruits and the Black Rose members, these four have garnered much attention; their abilities are highly anticipated.

Roland became a star within just a few days after the semester started—not just among the new students, but throughout the entire Canon Law School. During classes, many senior sisters would come to audit, making the previously sleepy Hex-Tech lessons lively and glamorous. The male students would feign indifference despite not understanding, occasionally posing questions.

This left the instructor speechless. His class used to be quiet as a tomb; he wasn't against questions but disliked hearing serious yet dumb questions from people trying to stand out.

"Low-key" Lu Shuai's status as a relative of the Grand Governor is widely known. The extension of idol worship to the descendants of idols is not unusual in the Dao Yuan Continent. He and Roland are now hailed as the new generation's twin stars. Lu Shuai has already set his agenda within days of school starting, acquainting himself with a hundred vibrant female students and engaging in non-stop dates. Judging by his frequent need to support his waist lately, the activity level isn't low.

Roland, however, shows little interest in the lovely senior sisters; he's obsessed with Hex-Tech and has a solid foundation. Not only is he attentive in class, but he also immerses himself in the library afterward and befriends several Hex-Tech senior brothers from the Black Rose, mingling mainly in the Hex-Tech circles.

Huerta enjoys fighting; shortly after arriving, he frequently sought sparring sessions with senior brothers. He's either challenging or on his way to challenge, gaining fame in certain circles. Li Xin, despite being a special recruit, often seems like a forgotten fourth member among the group.

Li Xin's attention these days is focused on the Inhaler incident. He didn't expect Kurt to die; the situation might be more troublesome than anticipated. While Inhalers are reckless, acting in broad daylight is possible, but Li Xin's intuition suggests otherwise. The opponent has always been cautious and cunning—the anger and loss of control over being discovered and tracked just don't add up.

The motive doesn't align; the behavior doesn't either.

Kurt was fine, and even Luo Jin could hardly make an arrest directly, but with a Night Patrol captain dead, broad daylight murder implies such wanton disregard for divine authority that Luo Jin will surely not back down. The City Hall will certainly cooperate.

A lunatic maybe?

Unknown. If only he could meet with Montreal. Li Xin was completely absent-minded in class, but Sister Casey already sent someone to tell him not to return to the Night Patrol. This case is no longer related to him; he should stay obediently at the Canon Law School. Otherwise, Lin Fei will handle him.

Old Luo never assigned him tasks from the start, probably to avoid encounters like this. Kurt's combat skills and experience were quite formidable yet he was instantly killed—it's clear that Inhalers and Lickers exist in entirely different realms.

But since the matter has reached this stage, he cannot ignore it. Something feels off; if Montreal escaped, it wouldn't be so bad, but the fact that he obediently went to the Church suggests he has some backup plan.

Sitting idly is not Li Xin's style; he needs to find Qi Badao—although his combat skills aren't remarkable, he's clever and has plenty of tricks.

Hex-Tech classes still must be attended, not because Li Xin plans to research them, but he aims to understand this world's technical foundation. He senses it could be useful in the future, and it's also a chance to understand Luthor's path to growth.

...Okay, Li Xin, who thought himself clever, realized after a few classes that he felt useless. If not for Luo Jin arranging the special recruitment, he might not have been accepted.

Those who enjoy and have a foundation in Hex-Tech listen with rapt attention, feeling like a new world is opening before them. Those who can't understand feel uneasy; if not for the presence of several attractive female students, they possibly would skip class.

During the break, Li Xin felt it was time for a clever escape. The commotion at the door and some girls from the front row started calling out.

Luo Xue arrived.

As the most notable figure at the Canon Law School, Luo Xue is an idol to many. Li Xin has no idea why specifically, but witnessing everyone's excitement when Luo Xue came, Li Xin just wanted to sneak out. However, seeing Luo Xue's gaze, he knew that wouldn't work; he had to greet her before leaving.

"What instructions does the president have?" Li Xin asked.

Luo Xue smiled subtly, "Haven't seen you in days, I wanted to discuss the visiting delegation's reception with you. It's my first time managing such a reception as president—you wouldn't want me handing over this position to Zhao Qing, would you?"

"Of course not, he couldn't manage it," Li Xin chuckled, not someone from the Secret Castle.

"Among this group are some originally from there. Do you have any thoughts?"

"No thoughts. I can't handle big matters; you take care of the small ones. Next time, don't be so ostentatious—you draw too much attention." Li Xin stated.

"Why so low-key?... planning to destroy Celestial Capital, perhaps?" Luo Xue suddenly asked.

Li Xin laughed helplessly, "What nonsense, I have other things to do."

"Is it the foggy murder case?" Luo Xue wasn't planning to let Li Xin go.

Outside, the students murmured among themselves, pondering what Luo Xue was discussing with this ordinary male student. Moreover... the usually icy Luo Xue showed a gentle smile and displayed such closeness—unimaginable...

Some senior sisters who came to audit with Roland knew Luo Xue very well; being girls, they scrutinized any outstanding individual. Luo Xue is impeccable in both ability and family background—they had nothing to compare against. Her icy demeanor didn't lead to much attention-seeking, winning her popularity even among the girl students. Although they thought she was coming for Roland, she ended up interacting with... some guy, whatever his name is.
