Chapter 48: The Principal

While Elysia and Evelyn returned to the main academy buildings, in one of the grand rooms there were several teachers and a school principal discussing something with great enthusiasm.

"Alby Dawson, is the report you gave me verifiable?"

The principal sat on his hot chair while resting his elbows on the table and resting his chin on his hands as if he was judging the one who was standing in front of him.

"Yes! That's one hundred percent true! I was there to test the girl when she enrolled in this academy three days ago!" The teacher cheered with enthusiasm, he was the same person the examiner Elysia and Elena labeled as weird.

Alby Dawson is one of the teachers who three days ago was assigned to the registration of new students in a special room for non-nobility or normal people because the registration section which is still open is really short of people due to the shocking incident in Aurora Forest.

Three days ago, half of the military force of the Holy Central Region or the Aeddoterra Kingdom went to Avrora Forest to inspect the incident and secure the location from outsiders of the human race who were trying to infiltrate there.

Hot news has spread way too fast with the issue of 'the battle between the gods' throughout society and higher-ups can no longer cover the spread of news with the issue of ordinary natural occurrences.

Even though it made mankind panic because the battle between gods would only cause disaster for the mortal, after three days of no further events the people began to feel relieved and the shocking incident ended up being a gossip and a mere rumor.

"Then that's a great thing! I've never heard of being able to control all elements, and it's her natural talent! She hasn't even learned magic and only awakened her magic energy at the age of 16!" The principal shouted excitedly as he leaned back in his chair.

After receiving word from Alby, he returned to the academy after Avrora Forest became safe and changed the agenda at the opening ceremony with a speech from himself in person.

He just returned this morning from Avrora Forest which is now safe from intruders who take advantage of the situation. Most of the human army came there to check and stand guard after receiving direct news from Elliott Evans, the Southern Emperor.

The descent of the goddess was closely guarded by the emperors and other rulers so that information did not spread. Humanity has the honor of being the first place she is visiting.

Natural events that seem like calamities are only thought to have happened because there are factors that offend or challenge the goddess they predict is still there.

After all, a piece of secret news regarding a disciple of a goddess coming to the Human Continent's most prestigious academy made some circles of people make a lot of preparations.

"But why did she come and register as a commoner? A commoner with a surname? What is she trying to do?" The principal saw a document with a photo of Elysia on it.

"Many factors may have happened, principal. She comes from an aristocrat who has lost her nobility, she got lost there, she is playing as a commoner, or it's just a coincidence." Another teacher adjusted his glasses upon his hypothesis.

"In the past, there have been some issues about real aristocrats disguising themselves and registering as ordinary people. It's just their game, it won't change their talents and the privileges they will get." Alby expressed his opinion.

"The rules in this academy prohibiting the privilege and power of nobles from interfering don't really differentiate their status, what difference does it make if she is aristocrat or not? We look highly on talent and ability!" A female teacher concluded easily as she folded her arms.

Then proceed with the other teachers starting a rather heated discussion on this topic. They all really don't know, all of their assumptions are wrong. The girl in question is indeed a commoner who does not come from the same world as them.

"All right, it's a good thing you gave her a platinum card, Alby. We're going to forge her into an extraordinary person. The best seedlings should receive the best privileges! The afternoon class is about to start, all of you can get back to your duties." The principal ended the discussion and gave an order to the teachers to disperse to their respective assignments.

The principal saw all the teachers leave the room after saluting and the door was closed again. Now only leaving him alone in the principal's office.

"Lucas, Lawrence." The principal spoke in a neutral tone into the empty air after a moment of silence.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Suddenly two people appeared standing right in front of him and took off their disguise techniques before saluting the Emperor. They are two of the teachers who just came out of there.

"Do you think this girl named Elysia Avery is a disciple of a goddess?"

Lucas and Lawrence looked at a document with a picture of a girl then they looked at each other and nodded at a conclusion.

"The possibility that she is the person you mention is very high, Your Majesty."

"Even so, that doesn't rule out the possibility that she is really an ordinary girl from the south."

"Hahaha! As usual, you take turns confirming and refuting it again. Then, we need to observe her some time to confirm this allegation." The principal laughed lightly at his two confidants.

The two of them were two almost twins who had fought with him when he was young until now. The two of them were given peerage titles by him when he ascended the throne to become an Emperor hundred of years ago.

Currently, the two of them also serve as teachers who are actually just disguised to guard the Emperor under his command.

The principal of this academy was actually an Emperor of the Aeddoterra Kingdom in this Holy Central Region in disguise.

This safest region in the center of the Human Continent has never had a catastrophe or invasion and battle from another race.

Apart from that, in the region which is called a holy land with the meaning of prosperity and happiness, it also causes some rulers to be underemployed.

Even the emperor of the kingdom itself still had the time to disguise himself as a principal in the academy built by his great grandfather because of the amount of free time he had at the moment.

The Aeddoterra Kingdom's Emperor hid his identity and disguised himself as the principal named Isaac Hussain in the last few years since the old principal died of age.

"Sigh... However, still... The number of students enrolling is decreasing and decreasing every year... I am so worried that humanity will lack the talented generation that will continue our efforts in the future."

Isaac sighed as he looked at the report of the students who enrolled this year with lament. No more than three hundred new students registered and successfully passed the entrance examination.

"One of our prospective students died in Avrora Forest with her entourage, Your Majesty."

"That girl is named Alisha Reinhard, the youngest granddaughter of the Reinhard Duke Family in the Cuttexus Kingdom."

Lucas and Lawrence took turns adding regrettable information.

"Yes, the party was attacked by something dangerous. None of them survived. Rosie's little sister died. I can imagine what Harold is going through right now. I just hope he is well and Elliott to treat him better by giving him a day off for a while according to my advice."

Isaac sighed once more as he placed the documents on the table and looked out the window.
