[Infirmary of the royal academy.]
Mia Aubry and Jin were sitting next to each other.
While Mia's assistances were guarding the room that was secured with a sound barrier.
"So? That's all?"
Mia questioned and jin frowned, without even any afterthought Jin said harshly.
"Did you wish for anything worse?"
Mia, however, did not mind his impoliteness.
She continued to sip her tea which helped to cleanse the inner impurities and enhance the natural beauty.
She did not bother answering Jin.
"So you an, you were fooled by a lower demon, and you want to beco an Elite demon hunter? What kind of ironic dream is this?"
"..."
Jin lowered his head and bit his lower lip.
He had lost count of the number of bad things that happened to him lately.
First Lisa, then Thomas, then all his team, and then...?
'Wait... am I forgetting sothing?'
He started recalling the events,
The envy he felt for Kevin, the arrival at the eerie forest, the ominous feeling, the low-level demon, and then the fight at the dungeon..?
Suddenly, the picture of a long and beautiful pink-haired girl floated inside his mind, only to make him stand up in a panic.
He had completely forgotten Anna.
"Hm?"
Mia raised her brow at Jin's sudden actions,
"Have you forgotten sothing?"
"I-i!"
Before Jin could answer,
"Lisaaaaaaaaaa!"
They heard Thomas' roaring voice.
"It's not your father's funeral to shout like that! Bastard!"
Followed by Mia's curse,
"Thomas!"
Jin ran out of the cabin to et Thomas without answering Mia,
'This is why I hate Kids!'
Mia glanced at Jin's back and she also got out of her cabin.
...
[Alice's Cabin]
Knock* Knock* Knock*
Mia especially knocked three tis and entered the room without any response from the other side.
"You should at least wait for my response, you know?"
Mia heard an alluring voice as she entered Alice's cabin.
"How have you been Alice?"
While yawning, Mia walked and casually sat on the sofa near Alice's chair.
Without waiting for Alice's response she continued,
"So will you tell ? Or should I spill the beans myself?"
She picked up sothing which looked like a magazine and asked while going through the magazine.
'Mia Abury, the goddess of Alchemy...'
She threw the magazine as soon as she saw the magazine's front page na and picture of herself printed like a goddess.
'Cringe!'
She felt like puking the mont the thoughts of people worshiping her ca to her mind.
'Pfttt, serves you right, bitch!'
Alice who saw the variations in Mia's expressions couldn't help but laugh inwardly while making a straight face.
"Ahem!"
She caught Mia's attention by coughing once,
"What were you saying earlier?"
Controlling her laughter, she asked.
"Tsk, don't even bother to hide from ."
Folding her arms and crossing her legs, Mia looked at Alice with cold eyes.
"..."
Alice pushed her chair and put her back in Mia's front.
"I don't know what you are talking about."
She still played ignorantly.
"Haaaaa.... how many this ti?"
"More than last ti..."
To Mia's question, Alice answered nonchalantly.
"There are 5 divisions with 200 students each, and 4 such years with 5 divisions each, so how much of my workload will be reduced this ti?"
"I would've loved it if all of those thousand students had made it till the fourth year..."
Alice, although had her back to Mia's front, anyone who heard her voice would've understood the solemnness in her voice.
"Stop with that shit and tell the number. How many this ti?"
"There is still a week before the deadline, however, only a hundred students have reported their return. Estimate deaths are... more than half."
While taking a deep breath, Mia placed her hand on her heart,
'May the mother save those poor souls.'
She wished for the good afterlife of every death and looked at Alice, who was looking at the sky outside from the window behind her chair.
"And?"
Mia asked as Alice turned silent after the first news.
"Adelio."
Alice answered,
"Haaaaa... he was a good person."
Mia felt a slight pain in her heart as the news of the death of her childhood friend hurt her, just a little.
Once again praying for his peaceful afterlife, she glanced at Alice and got up to leave.
"Just so you know, a student nad Jin and his friend Thomas have returned with a lot of trauma, I have kept the boy for interrogation, now that Adelio is clear, these two are the pri targets. I will keep an eye on them"
Bang-
Mia walked out of the cabin and closed the door with a bang.
"Thanks... and bitch! I told you to leave those doors... They close automatically you know?"
Alice cursed out aloud but did not turn around.
Ting! Ting! Ting!
She heard a device ringing and turned around.
'Tsk, it's ti huh?'
She looked at the device that made the ring not long ago.
'And so it begins,
The chaos in the Royal Academy.'
...
Tap- Tap- Tap-
Mia walked out of Alice's Cabin, each step filled with elegance and grace.
Anyone who saw her lowered their head and waited for her to walk while making a way for her.
'Lowly beings.'
She continued walking while looking down at everyone in her way.
Elves who were known for their arrogance were also no exception to this.
Their pride, dignity, and authority were placed on equal terms in the treaty made by all races. And they had to lower their heads in front of her.
Bang-
Closing the door of her room, Mia went inside.
"haaa..."
Taking a deep breath, she walked near the mirror and looked at her figure.
'Tsk, no one is better than , I am just that great.'
Adelio's death, Jin and Thomas' trauma, and the deaths of students.
She forgot everything and continued to stare at her figure with lustful eyes.
She loved no one, except for herself.
This was the true Mia.
The self-centered woman, with an ego that of a planet.
There was soone out there who was going to break her, but that was a story for another ti.
...
[Sowhere near a water stream.]
Guided by Michael's directions, Kevin arrived at a secluded place to have a bath and remove all the blood from his body.
Saying this Michael sent so information to Kevin's mind.
"Huh?"
Kevin felt a warm light enter his subconscious and he looked at the new information.
"A mission? What is that?"
Kevin felt overwheld by the information.
There was no information about the information in particular.
Michael answered in a sowhat excited voice.
"What chance?"
Splash-
Kevin, who had previously stopped washing his body, continued.
Kevin listened to Michael's explanation with all of his attention.
"What penalty?"
Buzzz-
'Ugh!'
Kevin heard a buzzing sound and the information previously arrived got removed from his mind...
'What was that, Michael?'
Kevin did not understand why he felt like that, but he felt like soone tampered with his mory.
He had known sothing important but that was taken away as soon as it was given
Michael's previously excited voice was gone and replaced by a nonchalant voice.
"What is it?"
"What about it? Don't take too long and just spill it."
Thud-
Kevin's heart started beating faster, his blood boiled and, he felt a pang in his heart.
"H... how?"
Collecting all of his remaining courage, Kevin asked.
Another shock appeared on Kevin's face.
What was happening? Why wasn't Michael telling him more than required?
He didn't question Michael because he trusted Michael.
However, this was the first ti after the massacre in his hotown that he felt sothing like this.
First abandoning his peers, then running away from a demon, and now the news.
It all ca falling, so much so that his brain stopped working.
Kevin laid down and looked at the sky with hollow eyes.
Michael, however, did not stop there.
