309 Nico’s Disappearance (2)

However, Ning Shi was not in a hurry. Listening to the contents of their conversation, whether it was the Republic faction that helped Nico or the aristocratic faction that captured Nico, they were all for the forbidden core.

However, Nico seemed to have hidden the forbidden core very well.

As long as the forbidden core was not found, Nico would not be in any danger.

Ning Shi had a question in his heart. Nico was very vigilant. How did the noble forces capture him?

It was extremely difficult for the noble forces to capture people in the territory of the Norse Republic Academy.

Because mechas were relatively large, the smallest mecha was four to five meters tall. Therefore, mecha masters were more adept at destroying and not capturing when piloting mechas.

The person who captured Nico was most likely a traditional fighter supported by the noble forces.

Moreover, when Ning Shi returned to the academy, everything was normal in the academy. There were no major traffic routes closed and the school was sealed.

Thus, Ning Shi guessed that Nico was most likely captured outside the academy.

Nico should have been busy training under Wu Yisheng’s tutelage for the entire day. Who could make him leave the academy?

Could it be?

Ning Shi suddenly thought of a person, and the people next door started talking again.

An old woman said.

“The news of Nico’s disappearance has not been leaked, right? Did the Archon and Quartermaster know? If Nico were to be lost in our hands, these two would definitely take this opportunity to make a big fuss.”

In the Norse Republic, the Republican Party was in power of the central government, while the great nobles held the local power. The two factions were evenly matched and did not give in.

Within the Republic Party, there was also a three-pronged situation.

They were the education and mecha master training academy, the military supplies department, which was in charge of mecha manufacturing and weapons production, and the administrative department, which was in charge of the country’s finance and personnel appointments.

Because of the existence of the AI network in the Norse Republic, all disputes were judged on the internet, so there was no judicial system.

Therefore, the administrative department, which controlled the nation’s finances and personnel appointments, was the most powerful department within the Republican Party. Its Chief Archon was the nominal leader of the Norse Republic.

The second was the military supplies department. With the threat of radioactive creatures outside, the Norse Republic had always been in a semi-combat state. The demand for weapons and mecha manufacturing had always been high.

The military supplies department controlled this huge profit industry and was extremely rich.

Among the commoners, the academies were the weakest at the moment. This was because the training in the academies cost money, and they did not have an independent industry to earn money. They always stretched out their hands to ask for money from the administrative department and equipment from the military supplies department.

In terms of aura, it was weaker.

Therefore, after Nico’s incident, the higher-ups of the academy were very worried about the reaction of the Archon and the Quartermaster.

Pang Yuanqing replied, “Principal, Nico doesn’t have many friends. So far, no one knows that he’s missing. ”

“Teacher Moses, who had been protecting him, informed me immediately about his capture.

“I also informed you and a few higher-ups and strictly instructed the relevant people not to leak this information.

“Therefore, the Archon and the Quartermaster do not know about it yet.

“As long as we can find Nico as soon as possible, we can pretend that nothing happened.”

Ning Shi especially understood the higher-ups of the academy. He had heard the conversation between these people and roughly guessed their identities.

The academy’s leader, Principal Liang Wenli, Vice Principal Pang Yuanqing, who was in charge of student recruitment, Vice Principal Teny, who was in charge of training and assessment, and the one with a neutral and feminine voice, Vice Principal Wei Yanping, who was in charge of logistics.

In addition to the Chief Instructor who was in charge of external combat, these five people were the higher-ups of the Norse Republic Academy. All the decisions of the academy were made by these five people.

After Liang Wenli heard Pang Yuanqing’s words, he nodded and encouraged him, “Xiao Pang, you have considered everything. Nico’s matter must be kept strictly confidential.

“I’ve already activated the entire area network surveillance of the academy district. The entire academy district is now relaxed on the outside and tight on the inside. All the exits of the entire district are closely monitored by the Heavenly Eye Network. Any unusual characters and actions will be detected by the Heavenly Eye Network.

“Therefore, Nico must still be in the school district. We can’t panic. We just have to wait here for Xiao Wu’s good news.

“Teny, we decided on a policy a year ago to rope in and nurture Nico. For this, we spent half a year to slowly get close to Nico and gain his trust.

“We even got Xiao Wu to secretly teach him the meditation technique. In the process, we spent a lot of time, manpower, and resources. You have seen the results. Nico is very supportive of the Norse Republic Academy.

“After Orphanage No. 15 in Sword Shield City was massacred and destroyed by the radioactive people, Nico already treats the academy as his home.

“We can’t go against our previous decision just because of a little setback, understand?”

Teny was silent. Liang Wenli sighed and tried to persuade him, “Morally speaking, as teachers and principals, our job is to teach and educate people.

“As long as Nico is a member of the Norse Republic Academy, then his possession of the forbidden core is equivalent to the academy possessing the forbidden core. We should be happy.

“Every student will have their own opportunities. The academy should be the student’s home, not a robber who steals the student’s opportunities.

“In terms of benefits, Nico is definitely a person with great luck. This kind of person can always turn misfortune into good fortune when faced with danger. The more he suffers, the stronger he becomes. Unless it is absolutely necessary, we cannot stand on the opposite side of him.

“Harsh methods will only lead to destruction. It is destined that one will not be able to obtain the forbidden core. Muraka’s tragedy is the best proof. Back then, who didn’t want to snatch Muraka’s forbidden mecha? In the end, Muraka’s family was destroyed, and the forbidden mecha is nowhere to be found.”
