77 Chapter 77 : I wont betray my Queen (1/2)

”What is going on here?”

The loud voice diverted everyone's attention from the two individuals to the entrance together. By the door, stood the principal, the legend who trained many famous mages, an example of how a powerless human can turn into a powerful mage. The man who changed everyone's belief in mana and showed everyone how special they, mages, were.

The world before the realization of how powerful mana was akin to an ocean without water. Even though the place was filled with mana, no one utilized it the way they were supposed to do. The most they would use mana is for the insignificant tasks like building a fire or home from the ground, drawing water from rivers to their homes.

No one believed that they could use their power for better means until the Heroes Council was formed. The people were surprised to find ten people appear, one day, and defeat the demons who attacked the villagers. The people marveled at seeing those ten people use their skills to defeat the demons.

It was on that eventful day, that the Heroes Council became worldwide drawing the attention of many power-seeking individuals. It was rumored that the master behind those individuals had already passed the God level.

No one knew what existed beyond the God level as none managed to reach that pinnacle.

During the huge war with demons decades ago, these individuals held the front line as they massacred their way to protect their people. They managed to win the battle but unfortunately, their master disappeared after that war with no news.

The Heroes Council decided together to form an academy to pass down their teachings. They created the Royal Mages Academy in hopes to see their master once again. Everyone together turned the academy into a prestigious one.

After some years, the ten individuals separated their ways forcing their principal to become in charge. His friend aka rival formed another academy- Silver Mages in the north which in turn made the rivalry between the principals turn into the rivalry between students.

Principal Vernon stood by the door with a darkened face as he glanced at the mess created by these brats. The room was completely turned into a big mess with cracked floors and walls.

His voice thundered across the room, ”How can you all disregard the rules you have set up? Is this how you make others look up to you - by breaking rules?”

Everyone pursed their lips as they looked down at their feet. Feeling indignant, Ren stood up from the ground and snarled, ”Why is he here? How can our rival enter our compound?”

Principal Vernon frowned at Ren's words and looked at Usui, who had his back against the floor. He was panting as his eyes stayed at Loki, who was doing the same as him on the other corner.

Jinha looked around the room and asked nonchalantly, ”Gather, where?” He used his hands to show the damaged room.

The principal glared at him before he brandished his hand, restoring the messy room immediately to its original state. On seeing that, the room was taken care of, everyone made their way to their seats.

Usui got up and stood in a place opposite to Hazel, leaning against the wall calmly. His gaze bore down on Hazel, who ignored him. He smiled but soon his smile disappeared as an annoying monkey was tapping all over his body - looking for any injuries.

Usui gritted his teeth as he said threateningly, ”Zelal if you can't control your hands, then don't blame me if I send you back.”

Zelal widened his eyes in horror as he shouted loudly, ”No, brother... you can't leave me alone there.”

His loud voice distracted everyone as they turned to look at that annoying duo. Zelal smiled embarrassedly as he apologized for being loud. His eyes fell upon Liz, who was squinting her eyes at him.

He saw her scoff as her mouth formed the words.

”Brother complex”

Zelal gaped at her unbelievably as if she just didn't call him that.

He thought furiously, 'Hmph!!! You have no idea what I had to give in return for my brother to take me here.'

Zelal turned to his brother and murmured, ” Brother, do you think we did a good thing in coming here?”

Usui glanced at him, raising his eyebrows. ”Do you not want to be here?”

He hurriedly shook his head and said, ” No..No..that's not it. I was just asking because we don't seem welcomed here.”

Usui turned his head and said, ”Yeah..but I'm staying. If you want, you can leave.”

Zelal frowned as he looked at the table again. Then he heard his brother murmur, ” Don't blame me if Liz falls for some random guy here.”

Zelal swiftly turned his head to his brother, glaring but before he could answer him. They heard the principal look at him and gestured them to stand beside him.

'I'm not leaving.'
