"Marquess, there are a total of 39 departments as of now, and the new one will soon open next year," Rihane replied as she came forward, increasing her pace to appear to be walking beside the Marquess. By doing so, she hoped to embrace her image as someone who has connections with him.
"I see. So, Ms. Rihane, for the task, you need to find a boy with pink hair and pink eyes from those 39 departments within 30 minutes," Avendial stated, moving through the garden area while directly giving Rihane the task.
Even though the director would have the list of the students and could do a better job than Rihane because he had most of the control, there was a risk that, by mentioning that particular student, the director would start treating that student as someone related to Avendial Croceaus—which Avendial definitely did not want.
