One day passed and the magic train that brought back the students finally arrived at the academy. The magic train arrived at the academy before noon and their journey was smooth unlike when they left. They all returned with tired and gloomy faces, including the teachers. rlick asked them to gather in the afternoon to give their reports.
All the students had returned to their dormitories to rest. King Leonida and King Raghnall will also be staying at the academy for a while. Currently, Kalya intends to return to her mansion with Princess Iris. But just as she was about to leave, rlick questioned her.
"Kalya, what are you going to do with Princess Iris?" rlick was confused about what Kalya was doing. If Flavio had brought her maybe rlick would understand since he was her horoom teacher.
"That's right, Miss Kalya. You can give Princess Iris to ." Flavio approached Kalya and tried to take Princess Iris from her hand.
"I just have a little need with her as soon as she wakes up. After that, I'll take her straight back to her dorm. I can guarantee that she'll be fine." Kalya stubbornly refuses to return Princess Iris.
rlick and Flavio fell silent at Kalya's unusual attitude. They looked at each other and nodded slightly.
"Okay. But You must return her imdiately. I've contacted King Jonathan about this. I'm sure he will co to the academy tonight or tomorrow morning." rlick had ordered several teachers to pass the news to the 5 kings of the human kingdom right after he arrived at the academy. They must imdiately know about it and find a solution so that such incidents do not happen again in the future.
"I understand." Kalya answered briefly and headed towards her mansion in the academy forest area. She was afraid that Ziel would wait too long. rlick and Flavio sighed seeing Kalya's departure who looked in a hurry.

At the sa ti, In a magnificent temple located sowhere in the Clorius Continent. Three large statues stood around a vast empty hall. The three statues gave off a divine aura. So humans who saw it would make the statue an object of worship.
"I lost contact with Lilith and Berith." The white statue spoke in a hoarse voice. None of the statues were surprised. They all looked calm in response.
"Are that woman and her subordinates dead?" The golden statue asked the white statue. But his tone seed unconcerned with the news.
"It seems so." He answered briefly and calmly.
"Does this have anything to do with yesterday's earthquake?" The silver statue asked doubtfully when he rembered sothing. the silver statue asked hesitantly when he rembered sothing. He felt a chill run down his spine as he imagined what happened yesterday.
"That's also possible because I lost contact with them after the earthquake happened." The white statue investigated the epicenter of the earthquake and found that it was in the area around the Alba Mountain Range. According to the last report he had received from Lilith, they were there to take the survival test organized by the academy.
"Haa... poor Lilith." The silver statue's words seed to feel sorry for her fate, but the tone of his voice seed to ridicule her.
"So how was the mission at the human academy? Shall we send the others there?" The golden statue thought if Lilith was dead, then no one would keep an eye on the human developnt in the academy. They would be too late to take action when the students there had already grown stronger. It would later threaten their existence on the Clorius continent.
"We will temporarily postpone dealings with the academy. It would be dangerous if the person responsible for Lilith and Berith's death notices us." The white statue didn't want to take the risk of sending soone else there. He was worried that whoever was sent there would suffer the sa fate as Lilith.
"Hmm... I understand." The golden statue didn't ask any further.
"How is the work you guys are doing at the mont? Is there any progress?" The white statue moved on to the next problem.
"For now it's going smoothly. Soon we will enter the next phase." The silver statue answered first.
", too." the golden statue answered with a short answer.
"What about the search for another world altar fragnts?" He talked about the most important things. The world altar fragnts are items that Ziel took from Ashil and Asbil in the Argaint Kingdom.
"It's being searched for by her. We haven't found its exact location yet, but soon she will surely find it." The golden statue answered him. The one he was referring to was also a mber of the 'God Domain'.
"You must imdiately obtain all the world altar fragnts." The white statue said in a low voice and sounded very serious. In his words contained absolute orders that must be carried out.
"We got it!" The gold and silver statue answered in unison with a trembling voice.
"Alright. Then we'll forget about the human region issue first. We'll carry out our plans on the other side of the continent as well as look for the remaining fragnts of the world altar there." The white statue didn't want to put up a pointless fight with a human who had the power to shake the entire Clorius continent. If fighting him head-on he felt that they would be at a disadvantage.
"I've done that too. But it seems the demi-humans are doing the sa with humans." The silver statue suddenly rembered the information he just got.
"What do you an?" The golden statue doesn't understand what he's talking about.
"The three demi-human kingdoms plus the demon kingdom created an academy similar to what humans do. It seems they have the sa goal and could also be a threat to us." The silver statue began to explain the information he got.
"Have you taken care of the matter?" The white statue had also just heard about that information. So he felt a little intrigued.
"I've taken care of it. Because the Elven kingdom is one of the countries participating in the project." The silver statue didn't completely control the elves. Their kingdom is still ruled by the high elves and their descendants. It's just that the kingdom has beco more isolated from the outside world. For political matters and cooperation with other kingdoms, they are given the freedom to decide for themselves.
"Alright. If there are any other developnts, you should report them imdiately. You can disband and continue your mission. I still have things to do." The white statue's light disappeared and made it look like an ordinary statue.
"Understand!" The gold and silver statues answered at the sa ti and the light they emitted also disappeared.

Kalya had already brought Princess Iris with her. She didn't return to her mansion first but went straight to Ziel's cottage in the middle of the lake. When she arrived, she went straight into the cottage, like it was her own house.
"Ziel, sorry for making you wait..." When Kalya cos inside, she is shocked and her face is tense. It was because she saw Lilith sitting in the living room.
"What are you doing here?" kalya asked with hostility. Even though Ziel had told her that Lilith was harmless. But when she rembered what the divine race had done to her kingdom, she couldn't help but beco furious.
Lilith was just silent when she saw Kalya coming and suddenly got angry with her. She didn't seem to care at all. If not for Ziel who is now her master, she won't be there. Kalya started to be consud by her anger and wanted to attack Lilith, Ziel's voice rang out and brought her back to her senses
"Leya, calm down." Suddenly Ziel appeared in front of Kalya. He had previously been in the kitchen brewing tea. But when he heard Kalya scream, he quickly teleported in front of her. Kalya who saw Ziel suddenly appear in front of her blinked a few tis before she finally regained her composure.
"I'm sorry, Ziel." Kalya lowered her head in sha with her previous behavior.
"I understand why you are like that. So you don't have to worry about it." Ziel took Princess Iris from Kalya's hand and laid her on the long chair nearby.
"Ziel, King Jonathan will be coming to the academy soon..." Kalya told Ziel what rlick had told her. But he cut her words off.
"I understand." Ziel extends his hand to Princess Iris and casts his magic.
[Ti Rewind]
A gray light enveloped Princess Iris, she slowly started to open her eyes. Lilith widened her eyes when she saw Ziel use that magic. She never expected humans to be able to use magic like that. Even in the divine race, no one could use it.
"You can even use ti magic." She muttered under her breath so as not to disturb him.
"Ugh..." Even though she was returned to her normal state by Ziel. But Princess Iris still felt weak and it was difficult to move her limbs.
"Did you finally wake up?" Ziel asked Princess Iris who was lying on the chair. But she was fascinated when she saw Ziel who used his true form. Princess Iris never saw him like that when he was with Clara.
"Princess Iris." Kalya is not happy with the way she looks at Ziel. She raised her voice slightly so that Princess Iris imdiately noticed the presence of another person.
"Ah, sorry Miss Kalya what are you doing here? What happened? Where am I?" Princess Iris was embarrassed because she subconsciously looked at Ziel for too long. Then she asked like a confused person. Kalya looks at Ziel and asks for his approval. Ziel nodded slightly in response.
"Princess Iris..." Kalya began to recount the chronology of the incidents in the Alba Mountain Range that had involved her, including when she nearly killed Clara. Princess Iris's body shook violently after hearing Kayla's story. She felt goosebumps down her spine at the thought of her nearly killing her own best friend. Tears slowly began to fall from her eyes.
"I'm sorry...I'm sorry." She cried while repeatedly apologizing.
"Okay. I don't want to waste ti because maybe your father could co to the academy any ti." Ziel interrupts Princess Iris who is sorry for her actions.
"I'm sorry... But who are you? And you're a class S student, aren't you? Where am I now?" Princess Iris wiped the tears from her cheeks. She looked at Ziel and Lilith alternately then looked around the room she didn't recognize. Lilith simply ignored Princess Iris's question.
"Ah, do you know now? This is where I live." Ziel's body distorted and returned to his black-haired appearance. Not only Princess Iris, but Lilith was also surprised to see Ziel's disguise for the first ti because she had t him.
"So it's you!" Lilith shouted while pointing at Ziel with her index finger. But ziel ignored him and waited for the silent Princess Iris to speak.
"Are you Ken? How are you..." Princess Iris beca curious and wanted to ask deeper but Ziel imdiately stopped her.
"Princess Iris, I don't have much ti. I will only tell you once.. Do you want your mana to no longer harm those around you? Ziel stared intently at Princess Iris' eyes.
