74 Chapter 74 : Prince Charming (1/2)

The troop entered the gates and saw students walking around in crowds. Here, inside the academy, there is no distinguishing between status. All of them are students of the Royal Mages Academy. Harm one of their classmates, feel the wrath of all.

Hazel and the rest made their way to the meeting room when they heard a distant shout, ”President !! Wait for me.”

Hazel turned around as he saw a cute guy running over to her. He stopped in front of her and touched his knees while catching his breath.

Hazel asked amusedly, ”Harold, you didn't have to run. We were about to head to the meeting room.”

Harold waved his hands as he inhaled air, ” President, you need to see this before you head over to them.”

Hazel furrowed her brows in confusion. He insisted, ” Come on.. you need to see the mission board.”

Hazel had a strange premonition as she followed the persistent guy. They arrived at the main hall and saw a crowd gather around the mission board. Noticing Hazel's arrival, everyone respectfully made way for her as they called out in unison, ”Congrats, President.”

Hazel knitted her brows as in confusion as she gazed at them. They smiled at her as they nudged at her to read. A gasp from her friends made her direct her gaze at the mission board.

Her eyes widened as she read the story of how she defeated the demon. Her lips twitched hard as her eyes went through the lines.

'Our beautiful president has been snatched away by her Prince Charming.'

The last line made all of her inner strength to avoid chasing after the editor of this news. She could hear her friends snicker as they tried to suppress their laughter. Suddenly, someone from the crowd shouted, ” President, is it true that you found your Prince Charming?”

Hazel gritted her teeth as she glared in the direction of the voice. Jinha and Hak couldn't hold it in anymore as they held their abdomen and laughed out loud.

Hazel exhaled as she rubbed the spaced between her eyebrows. She glanced at the board before ripping it off and crushing it into a ball. She threw away the ball as she glared at the crowd making them disperse.

She glared at Harold who rubbed his head sheepishly. He stammered, ” P-President, where are you going?”

Hazel paused in her steps. She turned around and looked at him.

”Where else? Don't we have a meeting to attend?”

Harold sighed as he nodded and accompanied them as they headed towards the stairs to the topmost floor. They passed through the corridors where everyone whispered.

”Look its the Heroes Council.”

”I'm so glad that the President is back. I have been having bad luck these days without having a glimpse of her beauty.”

”Look...Look... she's going to the meeting room.”

Heroes Council was a bunch of 10 people who were the strongest in the academy. The members are decided when they pass numerous tests thrown at them during the tournament which was conducted once a year.

Everyone had the chance to compete in the tournament, from which only the top 100 is chosen. The top 100 would be required to compete again until the top 50 were selected. The top 50 were considered to be average in the academy. They are to compete again and 10 people would be determined who are to battle with the current top 10 council members.

The current members fight to safeguard their position while the competitors fight to topple their throne as the Heroes Council member.

The tournament can extend from three up to a month depending on the tests thrown at the students. It varies every year making it hard for the students to prepare for a specific test. Sometimes, it can be fighting against the instructors or hunting for rare medicinal plants or defeating a high-level spirit beast.

The members of the Heroes Council are known as Heroes. They are people who are responsible for the security within the academy as well as punishing students who authorize unofficial battles without the consent of the council.

The students who wish to battle their enemy or someone who provokes them is required to go through a battle called Grand Tournament. It takes place when the challenger as well as the competitor come forth to the council to register. The sooner they register, the sooner the duel happens.
