Chapter 466: The Remaining Truth (Ⅰ)

After hearing Joan's question, Mr. Jefferson frowned and was speechless for a long time.

Joan felt deeply regretful as soon as she said that, and said with shame on her face: "I'm very sorry, Mr. Principal, I know this question is ridiculous. I should have spent my energy on thinking about more practical issues instead of..."

"No! Joan, please listen to me!"

Mr. Jefferson interrupted him abruptly, looking very excited.

"My child, you have to know that in today's impetuous age, at your age, it is amazing to dare to seriously consider this issue!"

"Joan Vida, I am really proud to have a student like you."

Joan looked at him in surprise, and said dubiously, "Really? Mr. Principal... Thank you for your encouragement."

"Of course it's the truth!" Mr. Jefferson rushed back to the desk like a whirlwind, picked up the quill pen and dipped it in the ink, and said excitedly: "Joan, you want to go to Midgard University for further study, right? I'll write it to you right away." A letter of recommendation, although I don't know if it will work or not, I will try to help you after all."

"But Mr. Principal, my mage level is less than level five, and I don't have a graduation certificate from Leiden College. Even if I get a letter of recommendation written by you, I still can't enter Midgard University's Institute of Advanced Law." Qiao Ann said helplessly.

"There is no absolute in everything, there is always a workaround!"

Mr. Jefferson looked up and winked playfully.

"Here, here is a blank graduation certificate. I will fill in your name first, and then I will sign mine. Originally, I still need your supervisor's signature. Makes sense, right?"

"But... but Mr. Principal, I haven't reached the graduation standard yet!" Qiao An was at a loss.

"So you have to work harder, my child!"

Mr. Jefferson handed the recommendation letter and graduation certificate to Joan with a sly smile.

"As long as you upgrade to a mage level and become a fifth-level mage before entering the campus of Midgard University, who will doubt that you have not yet reached the graduation standard when you leave Leiden College?"

The expression on Joan's face changed from confusion to surprise, and she was so moved that she almost shed tears.

"Good boy, don't cry, be strong." Alexander Jefferson patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him with a smile: "Go, Joan Vida, my good student, go and walk the path of your own choice, and in the future we will On the day we meet again, I look forward to you telling me the answer to that question yourself."

...

Joan walked out of the teaching building with brisk steps, feeling much more relaxed than when he walked into the building an hour ago.

Thanks to Mr. Principal’s care, he not only got a letter of recommendation, but also got a graduation certificate in advance. As long as he is promoted to a level 5 mage before the admission of new students to the Academy of Arcane Law of Midgard University in March next year, he can go through the normal process to take the entrance examination .

Joan calculated in his mind that it is now mid-October, and there are still nearly four months before the deadline for applying for the Institute of Arcane Law of Midgard University. During this period, it is still very hopeful to improve a mage level.

Of course, the pressure is also great.

The sense of urgency prompted Qiao An to speed up his pace, and he just wanted to return to the dormitory to devote himself to his studies, and strive to improve the level of mage as soon as possible.

Back in front of the dormitory door, he saw a somewhat familiar figure from the back, but he didn't care, and hurriedly passed by that person.

"Mr. Vader, please wait a moment!"

The call from behind forced Joan to stop, looked back at the man, and remembered his name after a little recollection.

"Good morning, Mr. Fitzgerald."

"Good morning, Mr. Vader, long time no see."

Student loan agent Charles Fitzgerald took off his top hat, smiled and bowed slightly to Joan.

"Fortunately, I met you here, Mr. Vader, otherwise I would have made this trip in vain."

"So you came here specially to find me?" Joan asked in surprise.

"It can be said that I actually want to talk to you about... ahem, about our mutual friend, Mr. Martin Smith." Fitzgerald looked around and said in a low voice, "We'd better Find a quiet place to talk."

"How about the boulevard over there? We can take a walk and talk while I happen to have something I want to talk to you about."

"No problem, let's talk about your business first." Fitzgerald followed Joan to a secluded forest path.

"It's like this, Mr. Fitzgerald. Due to some personal reasons, I plan to leave Leiden College before the end of this month. The relevant procedures have been completed, and now only the student loan is still outstanding..."

Qiao An first briefly introduced her current situation, and then turned to the main topic.

"After leaving Leiden College, I plan to go to Midgard to try my luck and try to apply for the Advanced Law Research Institute of Midgard University. Since I haven't reached the graduation standard of Leiden College, I still can't decide whether to drop out or transfer to another school. Yes, so I want to pay off the student loan I owe before leaving school, so as not to trouble you."

"So that's the case." Fitzgerald nodded thoughtfully, "I don't know why you left Leiden Academy in such a hurry, but it's not difficult to guess that your decision is related to Master Rawls's It is related to the unfortunate death."

Joan made no sound.

Fitzgerald took his silence as a default, and said with a smile: "Mr. Vida, it can be seen that you don't have a lot of money, and the next long-distance trip will inevitably cost money. I suggest you not rush to repay the loan. Everything has to wait until Midgard. If the student status can be successfully transferred to Midgard University, the loan contract can also be transferred there. If you fail to enter the Advanced Law Research Institute as you wish, it will not be too late to consider repaying the loan. "

Joan really didn't have a lot of money, so after listening to Fitzgerald's suggestion, he thought it made sense, so he stopped talking about repaying the loan and asked him about Martin Smith's whereabouts.

"Mr. Vida, I know that you are eager to learn about Martin's recent situation and why he left without saying goodbye. In fact, Martin also knows that you are the only person in Leiden College who really has good intentions for him. On the night before he fled from Leiden Harbor, When you stayed at my house, you talked with me all night, and asked me to find you some time, and confess all the truth to you."

Joan listened intently, expecting Fitzgerald to continue.

"Martin was forced to flee Leyton Harbor, frankly, because of the death of Walter Lee, but before revealing the hidden truth behind this murder, please allow me to take a few minutes to introduce Martin's origin to you And his childhood, it will be very helpful for you to understand what happened to him later."

"I'm all ears, Mr. Fitzgerald."

Joan gestured and asked him to continue telling Martin's life experience.
