Saturday, June 30th.
The day of the interview for the lecturer at Backlund University.
Valila had breakfast, took her own carriage, and arrived at the gate of Backlund University in about ten minutes.
After getting off the bus, she walked into the campus alone.
Compared with before, Valeela's behavior had a touch of elegance.
Perhaps because there are so many graduates coming for interviews, corresponding signs are hung at various intersections on campus to guide graduates to various interview locations.
Valeela followed the signs and wound around them, and finally came to a classroom.
This classroom is where history department graduates are waiting for interviews. There are already more than ten young men and women sitting in it, both men and women, all dressed up.
Obviously, they all attach great importance to this interview.
This is not surprising. After all, this is Backlund University, the highest institution in the Kingdom of Loen, and there are only three admissions this year. It seems that the competition is quite fierce.
However, external blessings are limited after all.
No matter how carefully they dressed up, they still looked pale in front of Valeela.
At least in terms of appearance, they lost completely.
Valeela arrived only a quarter of an hour early and was the latest among everyone. She found a seat and didn't wait for a while before the interview officially started.
A man who looked to be in his mid-twenties, either a lecturer or a teacher, came to the teacher's door, read out a name, and asked him to go alone to the next classroom for an interview.
As time went by, interviewees came and came back one after another with different expressions.
During this period, the classroom was quiet and no one tried to talk.
Of course, there is eye contact.
There are always people looking left and right, watching others, and then at a certain moment their eyes meet the other person's eyes...and then both parties will soon look away again, looking away as if nothing has happened.
Some time passed.
"Valeera Kaldwin."
On the Backlund University side, her previous name remains.
Valeera stood up gracefully, smiled indifferently, walked to the door of the next classroom, tapped the door frame as a reminder, and walked in.
In the classroom, there were three people sitting in the front seat in the middle.
As she walked up to the podium, Valeela's eyes narrowed.
She didn't expect that she recognized one of them directly.
Among the three, the one sitting in the middle is a middle-aged man wearing silver-rimmed glasses and a square face.
It was him that Valeera recognized.
Not long after she was promoted to "Instigator", in order to quickly establish her identity as bounty hunter Rexxa, she took the initiative and led the jealous bet between two powerful men.
Roger Syndras, Varden Grammire.
It was at the afternoon tea party held by Roger that this middle-aged man with a square face came to talk to her while holding a cup of coffee.
"Backlund University, Associate Professor of History."
"Barack Ascot."
Valeera's eyes moved down from the middle-aged man's face and saw the ID tag in front of him.
Then she looked to the left and right again.
On the left is a man about thirty years old with a high nose. The ID card reads:
"Backlund University, faculty member of the History Department."
"Tan Sri Croins."
On the right is a beautiful young lady with light yellow hair and dark green eyes. It's hard to say her exact age.
Her ID tag reads:
"Backlund University, faculty member of the History Department."
"Dalia Clark."
Valeela stood still behind the podium, smiled and nodded, looked at each other with the three interviewers, and said at the same time:
"good morning."
"I am Valeela Kaldwin, a graduate of the History Department of Hoyin University, and my supervisor is Senior Associate Professor Quentin Cohen."
Associate Professor Barak, who was sitting in the middle, closed the manuscript he had opened in his hand and said with a smile:
"good."
"Miss Kaldwin, we have read your graduation thesis, and to be honest, it was quite good."
"Don't be nervous. We will ask you a few questions about the thesis first, and then you can improvise and explain a piece of history."
"As for choosing a topic, please choose it from the wooden box on the left side of the podium."
Valeera smiled and nodded, "Okay."
…
The interview process is nothing to write home about.
Because this is not a challenge at all to Valeera.
Not only was she not as nervous as Associate Professor Barak thought, but she was so relaxed that she could do other things while answering the questions.
】
For example, take a closer look at Associate Professor Barak.
Silver-rimmed glasses, a square face, thick eyebrows, slightly thick dark circles under the eyes, neat black hair, and a tie clip with sapphire inlaid underneath the red tie... Generally speaking, there is nothing unusual about it.
But Valeela still had some doubts.
She felt that when the associate professor struck up a conversation with her at the afternoon tea banquet hosted by Roger, it was not like he was doing it casually.
Because she was sitting alone at that time, it was obvious that she gave people the impression that strangers should not approach her, and generally no one would seek trouble.
But this gentleman was different. He took the initiative to come over with a cup of coffee in hand. He didn't flinch even when he encountered a soft nail. Instead, he tried to find a topic.
Finally, Valeera forcibly interrupted the conversation through the summons of Roger and Varden.
If she didn't meet this gentleman again today, it wouldn't matter, but now that she did, Valeera had to pay more attention.
It would be terrible if this gentleman was an extraordinary person and could see certain characteristics in her body and discover the secret of her gender change.
Valeera planned to find an opportunity to have one-on-one contact with this gentleman, as the bounty hunter Rexxar.
…
Tingen.
Riggins, a member of the Secret Order, finally received reinforcements from Backlund.
Moreover, it was stronger than he expected.
Rosago sent two subordinate members from Backlund, a "clown" and a "divineer".
In order to make them understand the seriousness of the situation and play their role more diligently, Riggins told them about the loss of the Antigonus family notes.
Of course, not everything is said.
His story is that the notes were lost and he was responsible for tracking them down. Now he has clues, but reinforcements are needed.
The only clue, of course, is Crane himself.
Riggins, who had been trying his best to monitor the scene of the crime, namely Welch's residence, would naturally not miss such important information——
In the early hours of yesterday morning, Dunn took Klein, who was originally ruled out as a suspect, into Welch's house to receive channeling from "psychic" Daley.
Therefore, after the Nighthawks cleaned up Welch's residence, the only clue left to Riggins was Crane himself.
Riggins temporarily handed over the task of tracking Crane to the "divineer", while he and "Joker" were responsible for keeping an eye on the Nighthawks team.
Generally speaking, there is no more suitable arrangement.
However, Klein is not an ordinary person.
When the "divineer" tracked him all the way to Tingen University and saw Klein coming out of the office building, and when he really determined his target, Klein clearly sensed his surveillance.
And this poor "divineer" doesn't know anything about it.
