Chapter 278: Academy of Human Resource Development

"… That's what I want to hear. Such self-purification among friends is important. I think that's what Lord Rimuru believes. And when one of us gets lost, it is necessary to draw a clear line. That's what I was thinking. "

So Diablo explained his idea to Souei.

The reason that the president of the Tempest Human Resource Development Academy was unable to act at the moment was because there was no real evidence.

Even if another school acted suspiciously, it depended on people's views to determine whether it was right or wrong.

That means that you can't judge what someone is doing as a crime just by your own intuition.

This is why there is a system of determination by the majority, and you cannot oppose it.

So of course, it makes no sense to blame the president.

The real problem is the lack of a surveillance system.

Money and bribery assistance. They have different names but the results are the same. In this case, it is necessary to find evidence of this action.

All it takes is the establishment of a system that you can report when you think that something suspicious is going on.

"Regarding that, it was my fault. My spies searched for the place, but no detailed reports appeared."

"I too am weak because of peace. Though, your spies may need to be punished …"

"That's my worry. Now, you're talking about drawing lines. Whatchu mean?"

Souei's eyes told him to get to the talking point.

Diablo kept smiling as he did just that.

"In other words, they attacked that line."

"What…?"

"Let me ask you a question. Do you think people from other countries can interfere in the politics of our country?"

To Diablo's question, Souei replied with, Impossible. '

Thas right.

Tempest's political structure was separated into the Upper House and Lower House, and bills passed by the Lower House would still be discarded if the Upper House rejected them.

The High Assembly was made up of elites, and only those Rimuru chose were allowed to join him.

His own government had Rigurdo at the top, and members of the Lower House were elected by the citizens. But on the issue of legislation, the High Assembly has more power.

And during times of war, all institutions would serve under the High Assembly.

As long as this system existed, even if foreigners obtained citizenship, it would be difficult for them to interfere in the politics of the country.

Even if they managed to join the Lower House, they could not gain the highest level of power in decision-making.

"Absolutely. But what about business? Or in important institutions such as research?"

Souei's answer was exactly the same.

The answer is that it is impossible. '

Rimuru is surprisingly stingy when it comes to money, and she has gained all interests before.

There was no chance of entering afterwards.

As for the research institutes, state heavyweights like Ramiris and Veldora were involved there, and of course, they left no room for people from other countries to enter.

"I understand. That's the connection to the academy …"

Aye . Diablo nodded.

That means that the enemy is at least smart enough to know that it is a futile attempt to try and coerce people now.

So they are likely to plan in the long run, not just think in the short term.

You could say this is a tough opponent.

- Corruption of students and create a difference in their abilities.

If that happened, brilliant people would naturally flow into Tempest.

The Tempest students would faithfully follow Rimuru's words, and would not act with hostility towards humans. That's why they might bow their heads now.

And like this, the enemy forces will begin to control them and gain new authority.

This is a long plan that takes this all into account …

However, since Rimuru did not trust the students in the academy, they managed to capture the enemy's plan with his tail.

"That's Lord Rimuru. He must have seen it all."

Diablo said in an emotional voice.

Really true? Souei seemed to doubt it, but he knew that voicing it would only make Diablo angry, so he remained silent. He did feel there was no contradiction in Diablo's theory, and he could not think of any other purpose.

So he put it aside and asked Diablo a different question.

"So, why Ingracia? Can't we just go to the empire and find evidence of bribes?"

Diablo continued to smile as he replied.

"Indeed, I thought of that too. However, I have one doubt about that."

"Doubts?"

"Yes. It's a simple thing, really. These people were no longer nobles, so where did these funds come from?"

"… so. There's a need to investigate that."

"Yes. Even if we find evidence of this bribe, what if it's not real .. You can't bribe someone without money, after all. The Kingdom of Ingracia was one of the kingdoms left behind due to the kindness of Lord Rimuru. I don't think the money comes from western countries, but it will be necessary to know clearly where the money is coming from. "

"I understand. You might be right thinking this way."

Said Souei and closed his mouth.

The only thing left is to find out who is behind it all …

Diablo's idea is simple.

They were unsure of the size of the enemy's army and its leader. It was all true, but it was clear that it was someone involved with the academy.

They had to remain calm and slowly put pressure on this enemy.

If they did that, the enemy would reveal himself without a doubt.

Diablo came to this conclusion. And now, they would just quietly wait for the time of their departure.
