Chapter 152 – Find the culprit
A catastrophic failure in external practice.
Professors gathered in a large conference room to find out why the external practice, which had never failed since the introduction of the supervisor system, failed.
“Then, let’s start a meeting to figure out the problems with this external training incident.”
The meeting began in earnest with Professor Prelda’s remarks.
“The first thing we need to look at is what kind of luggage the students who were attacked by the unknown monsters during this exercise.”
She looked at what kind of luggage the students on the team that Adalbert and Jason belonged to had.
If the main cause of the students’ injuries in this raid was taking the wrong items, then the responsibility for the students’ injuries is theirs.
So, now Professor Prelda was trying to make sure that the students had the proper items in accordance with the regulations.
One might point out that it seems pointless to check these things one by one, but now she intends to keep a record of everything so as not to harm the students as much as possible.
It was because, if it was checked only verbally, someone could later take responsibility for this and hold the students accountable.
Of course, it was a meaningless action in front of Professor Prelda’s career and position.
“First of all, we checked what items the combat team and support group students had packed.”
“Tell me.”
“The combat team mainly packed type 2 and type 3 items. Type 2 is an item related to combat and weapon maintenance, and type 3 is a survival item that includes portable food that can be eaten for up to 4 days as a common item for the support team combat team.”
“What additional items did the support team pack?”
Professor Frelda looked at the professor who reported what items the battle team had packed and asked what items the support team had packed.
“The support team took Type 4 and Type 5 items.”
“What items are included in each type of item?”
“Type 4 is basic healing and restorative medicine, and Type 5 contains manufacturing tools that can make various treatments and restorative medicine on site.”
Professor Prelda nodded her head when she heard support group report what items they had packed.
Her nod had many meanings.
This meant that the support and combat teams led by Adalbert and Jason had taken the items that did not violate the rules, and that they had not sent such orders because they had the wrong items.
“So you don’t mean that students were injured because of improper packing?”
“Yes.”
“Okay. We will then discard the first assumption, ‘students were injured by taking the wrong item’. Let’s move on.”
At Professor Prelda’s words, all the professors gathered in the conference room turned over the papers in front of them.
“The next assumption is, ‘Did the students intentionally bring in a strong monster?’… But I don’t know what kind of human being came up with such a crap claim.”
Professor Prelda says she’s outspoken she’s a crap claimer, and she tries to find out who said it.
From noble mtl dot com.
“That… There is a record of a person who made such a bizarre claim, so in the sense of pointing it out…….”
“Okay. According to the supervisor’s opinion, neither the combat team nor the support team behaved abnormally, and since they secured the base first, it seems that they did not intentionally summon strong monsters. We will dispose of this assumption.”
Professor Prelda surprisingly willingly acknowledged the claim and discarded the assumption mercilessly.
“This is the third assumption. “There was something that had an impact on students’ behavior.” Regarding this part, there is an opinion submitted by Adalbert, the student concerned.”
When they heard that there was a written opinion that Adalbert had submitted, the professors in the large conference room found the written opinion that Adalbert had submitted and began to read the contents.
“Huh.”
“Is this true?”
“Who the hell would do something like this… ….”
The responses of the professors who read the opinions submitted by Adalbert were consistent.
The response was, “Who the hell did this?”
“As everyone has read, Adalbert claimed that the contents of the Crisis Response Handbook seemed to have been tampered with, and Jason’s additional comments were added to this.”
In the opinion Adalbert submitted along with Jason’s additional opinion, the contents of the Crisis Response Notebook were written.
The Crisis Response Handbook was a kind of guideline designed to provide appropriate response methods to students who do not yet know how to properly respond to a crisis situation.
Of course, all clumsy or uncertain methods are excluded, and when a better method is found, the contents are extensively rewritten.
Therefore, there was even a joke among people that ‘the number of crisis response notebooks increases by one every day’.
These crisis response notebooks are issued one by one to each student attending practice.
In fact, it can be said that the contents of this crisis response notebook are really informative, to the extent that some students escape crisis during practical training.
However, according to the opinions submitted by Adalbert and Jason, among the contents of the crisis response notebooks, there were absurd countermeasures, and even among the contents of the issued notebooks, there were some that had different contents written on each other.
“Which printing house did you print this Crisis Response Handbook?”
“This is the Grand Dors Printing Office.”
“Is it the Grand Dorse Printing Office?”
Professor Prelda was lost in thought for a moment at the word Grand Dors Printing.
For a long time, the Grand Dors Printing Office was used by professors teaching students at the Noble Academy.
It had a printing factory that was overwhelmingly larger than other printing offices, and the technology was difficult for other printing offices to follow, so Noble Academy signed a contract with the Grand Dors printing office.
By the way, was the Crisis Response Notebook printed with the wrong information on purpose at the Grand Dors printing house?
Thinking about it, I could smell something fishy.
“Who runs the Grand Dors Printing Shop?”
“Grandors Print Shop has been run by the family of the founder for generations.”
“What is the stake structure?”
After hearing that the founder’s family has been running the business for generations, Professor Prelda took an approach in the direction of the ownership structure of the Grand Dors printing house.
Because the scale of the Grand Dors Printing Shop was so large, it was not possible for one family to cover all of the starting costs.
Thus, it was to increase the scale by receiving investment from others.
So, the Grand Dors Printing Office was paying out a portion of the amount remaining as pure profit out of sales to investors in the name of dividends.
Of course, this was possible because the Granddors printing house won several other printing contracts besides the Noble Academy.
So, just in case, Professor Prelda asked about the share structure of the Grand Dorse printing house.
“There are 2-3% stakes in various companies or families, but the MacGregor family holds the largest share.”
“The McGregor family?”
Frelda expressed her doubts at the mention of the MacGregor family.
Because the name McGregor was not unfamiliar to me.
“If it was the MacGregor family, was it the family of the Anthus student, the director of Bless Planning?”
“Yes.”
The reason Prelda remembered this was because Anthus, the head of Bless’ planning department, was a descendant of the MacGregor family.
Professor Prelda remembered that he was believed to be involved in a small accident that occurred at the practice last year, but he could not be charged with the crime because there was no proper evidence.
“The MacGregor family… ….”
Professor Prelda thought for a moment about the McGregor family.
Because I’ve recently heard that the MacGregor family is acquiring stakes in several businesses.
‘No way?’
She wondered if the MacGregor family was involved in this.
However, no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t think of what kind of profit the MacGregor family would get from this incident.
The MacGregor family owns the largest share of the Granddors printing house, so why would they act to reduce the value of their share?
‘Was there really a way for the McGregor family to intervene in this case?’
No matter how much I thought about it, Prelda couldn’t find any evidence that the MacGregor family was involved in this affair.
In the end, Professor Prelda had to put her doubts about her MacGregor family aside.
Instead, she decided to look elsewhere.
“Who was in charge of printing the Crisis Response Handbook at the Grand Dors Printing Office?”
That was to find the person in charge of the printing work.
