Mixed Blessing System

The next day...

As Lothur went on with his morning routine at the Morning Star Academy, his wife's servant, Elise, was standing beside a small fountain at the exit of that institution.

She quietly observed the surroundings, watching the tiny birds playing around, some of them singing.

But while she was standing there, as if she was just killing time, a young man in the uniform of this academy stopped not far from her and bent down as if to lace up his boot.

As he made this movement at a distance that no one could tell they were there for each other, he said in a low voice. "Miss Harris, what do you want this time?"

She continued to watch the movement of the waters in that fountain and said. "I want you to keep an eye on Lothur as much as possible for the next few days. If he is going to do anything out of the ordinary, you must let me know immediately."

"Oh? That's fine, but..." He glanced momentarily at her but soon turned his attention back to the ground.

"You will get your reward soon. Do you think I won't pay you?"

"I feel better knowing of Miss Harris' commitment." He smiled.

After that, she turned and walked towards the part of the city where the Frost family headquarters was located. 'That damned Lothur!'

'On his account, I'll have to take my chances!' She made a deadly serious expression as she walked along the central sidewalks of Peters City, remembering the notice she had received the night before.

Kai had asked her to act against Lothur as soon as possible due to the previous incident when he had exposed his suspicions towards her. As such, she was preparing to give up her position as an infiltrator into the Frost family to eliminate him, which could become very dangerous for her.

After all, no matter how much she had certain circumstances in her favor, there was an undeniable risk that she would suffer from a Frost family persecution.

She did not like that; in fact, a cautious person like her could not like that at all!

Hence, she was under quite a bit of stress at the moment, feeling her hatred for Lothur rise to new levels.

'You could have just died that day, scumbag! But no, you need to take others with you, huh? But that's okay. With the Baier family being put against you, you'll be finished even if I don't make it!' She smiled mysteriously.

...

After finishing some of his business at the academy, Lothur headed towards the administration of his sector, ready to solve the previous problem.

On his way to the place where the person responsible for such a matter was, he passed Anneke, but apart from receiving a fatal look from her, they did not exchange words.

Thus, he was soon beside the principal of his sector, walking to the person responsible for the disciplinary area of this institution.

"Lothur, are you sure of what you told me? Accusations like the one you want to make are severe!" That overweight man said this solemnly, looking at the young man walking calmly beside him.

"Of course, I have proof that he is a corrupt person." Lothur smiled.

"That..."

"Still, I must warn you that even if the academy accepts this and decides to deal with Valentin, that may still not be good for you." He advised. "In the cultivators' world, we don't appreciate conflict resolution that way."

"Using a grievance to get someone out of their position seems somewhat cowardly to most of us. Not only that, the academy staff will look down on you. After all, at the end of the day, Valentin is one of them."

"Oh?" Lothur looked at that man's round face, curious at that comment. "Principal, have you by any chance forgotten that I am not a cultivator and am only a son-in-law of the Frost family?"

"Only the academy can help me seek justice."

"That..." He turned red like a tomato as he realized that he had forgotten these details. 'True! Lothur is a good-for-nothing! How could he use his strength or position to solve your problems? It's only natural that he's a coward!'

This man then listened. 'As for these academy officials, I honestly don't care about any of them. So what difference does it make if they like me?"

"I am fine with the academy's rules, so I am reassured that I will not be wronged. Or are the rules of this institution worthless?" He looked provocatively at the principal.

"Tsk!"

"Of course, our rules are worth a lot!" The principal said in an irritated tone, remaining silent after this exchange of words until they reached their destination.

"What do you want here?" An elderly man, sitting on a chair next to the entrance of that place, reading a newspaper, asked the principal of Sector-1 without even looking at the newcomers.

The principal bowed and replied. "Mr. Harth, this young man here claims to have suffered an injustice by one of our employees. I have brought him here to follow up with the complaint process."

"Oh?" The old man looked at Lothur as this silver-haired young man saw this old man's mysteriously status.

'Level 15, huh?'

"Young man, what is your name? Why are you seeking justice using a method like this?"

Lothur then replied. "Naturally, it's for the good of the academy!"

"Unfortunately, there is at least one parasite in this institution which clearly does not respect it and acts for himself. Elder, if he is allowed to grow, there may come a day when the honor of the Morning Star Academy is tarnished just because of one person."

"As a student of this great institution, I cannot stand by while people with nefarious goals erode the academy!" He solemnly said, with a tone filled with a sense of belonging and duty.

Hearing all this, the principal of Sector-1 was shocked and open-mouthed, not understanding how Lothur could be so shameless to say such words in front of him. 'What a damned brat!'

'You've only been at the academy for a few days! How can you have all these feelings for this place? Aren't you ashamed to lie like that just to hide your weakness?'

Meanwhile, the old man laughed at Lothur's words, but he did not think it was bad at all. So, even if this young student's speech was not 100% honest, acting publicly for the good of the academy was not bad!

As for other interests, everyone had at least one! But what was wrong with that? As long as the academy was not harmed or gained something, its members' ambitions were not bad!

"Young man, I can see that you have a strong feeling for the academy."

"Very good!" He put away his paper and waved one of his hands at Lothur. "So? What do you want to report? Pass me the evidence, and I'll deal with it."

Lothur smiled and said. "An employee named Valentin acted against me in the collective business room in Sector-1. Because of that, I paid for an investigation and got this..." He then passed the documents he had received at the local Cultivation House to that old man.

"Extortion, illegal favoritism, artificial price increase, nepotism, illegal trading of items outside the academy..." The old man quickly saw Valentin's list of offenses, even being surprised that such a vermin had managed to infiltrate the academy.

This institution naturally did its best to keep its members in line by doing background checks and some periodic analyses. But even with all this care, someone soiled from head to toe had managed to stay under the radar.

It was truly something to open the eyes of this loyal member of the Morning Star Academy!

After a while, that old man finally said something. "Young man, you have done a commendable job denouncing this person. Keep it up in the future, and never turn your back on the academy!"

"Naturally." Lothur smiled.

"You," Mr. Harth looked at the Sector-1 principal and said. "Give this young man 100 merit points. As for that person, we will deal with him on our own."

"As you wish..."

After that, Lothur made his way to his and Elke's room, hoping that at the end of the day, he would finally be able to earn some coins and resolve this whole problem.

...

A few hours later, a man was being dragged out of the academy in screams, bawling because of the injustice he was suffering while asking people in the surrounding area for help.

"Young master, young master! Tell them it's all right! It was you who paid me to do those things. Tell them!" He bellowed amidst his sweat, looking in Merten's direction.

But that fellow ignored him as if this was his first time seeing this person.

"Damn it!"

"Please! Don't do this! I need this job! I've devoted more than 20 years of my life to it!" He tried to appeal for compassion from those men from the disciplinary area of this organization.

However, none of the men dragging him out of the academy building even blinked. Instead, they acted as if they were listening to the buzzing of an insect.

Meanwhile, Lothur was standing next to Elke, not far away, smiling as he saw the despair of this person.

Valentin then saw the look in that young man's eyes and understood everything. "Bastard! Coward! It was you, wasn't it? Lothur! Lothur!"

"You will pay for this, Lothur!" He shouted as the academy building was left behind.

After that, he was thrown into the middle of a street like a garbage sack, finally out of that academy.

'Little bastard, you pay me back!' He slowly stood up as he clenched his fists, determined to get revenge.
