The previous night Daimon already told Liz and Elaine that Edgar was already dead, so the notice didn't surprise Elaine, as for Erin she was completely indifferent about it.
After Daimon helped her undo the knot in her heart, she considered Ernest and his little schemes as just a stone in her path.
Once they reached the guest's mansion, all the others were already waiting for them at the entrance.
Calvin had a surprisingly happy expression, yesterday he finally got the chance to be alone with Loren, of course besides chatting and eating some snacks nothing else happened, but he was enjoying the slow process of "courting", instead of simply flirting like he used to.
"Yo, class rep, next time let my Ghrish family be the host".
Daimon raised an eyebrow at his seemingly good humor, he stole a gaze at Loren but she was simply happily chatting with Leslie and the other girls.
"Sure, after returning we'll celebrate in the famous oasis of the Ghrish family".
He then turned to see Dana and Gabriel.
"What did miss Leena said to you, will you come with us to the academy, or is she coming here for you?".
"She'll see us there, if it's not too much to ask let us go with you", said Gabriel with a slightly tired voice, unlike Dana who easily mixed with the group, he was basically left out, Michael spent the day with Haylee and Calvin did the same but with Loren.
He instead had no one to talk with and when he walked through the streets, the members of the Revy family gave him strange gazes, so after a quick walk, he returned to his room and stayed there.
"I'm popular among the girls of many families, how come I'm a weirdo here", he wondered.
Ignoring Gabriel's emotional state, Daimon looked at Aura and she nodded before using space shift to bring all of them to the academy.
…
Of course, Aura took them to a restricted area where no one else could be around without her consent, her office, a portal appeared from which everyone came out.
Aura took seat in her chair while Erin sat next to her in her desk.
"Oh, I can feel some annoying guys in the academic city", said Erin with an amused expression.
With just a single glance she recognized Arthur Jolbaris and Also Leena, besides that there was other two specially attention drawing presences, one radiated battle aura with faint traces of light element, the other one was a raging water-oriented mana.
Aura frowned, although she didn't recognize the ones to whom those presences belonged, as the principal of the academy she of course knew which families were staying in those areas.
"These mana pressures come from the area designated to the "guests" from the blue-sky galaxy, if I remember correctly, the ancestor of the Grayer family Galad Grayer, is a half emperor with water affinity".
Erin nodded, although the human half emperors haven't been in Lykos in the last one thousand years, given the "alliance" between the beast faction and the blue-sky galaxy, they have seen or heard each other through a magic device which allows people in different galaxies to talk with each other, in simple words something like a video conference.
Of course, the consumption in mana crystals is quite high, but when has a half emperor ever worried about mana crystals.
Erin contemplated things for a moment before adding.
"The other one should be the father of the guy, a certain person turned bald, there are only two half emperors which walk through the knight's path and have light element battle aura among the humans, one of them has never left the blue-sky galaxy for some unknown reasons, so the only option left is Wilbert Ascott".
Just by the mention of the name, the Risha ladies clenched their fists, everyone knew that Leir Ascott already left the white fang galaxy, so there is only one reason as to why his father a half emperor would come here… the offer received by the light faction to the Risha family included a favor from a half emperor, and now there were two of them here.
The three mothers couldn't help but give some worried gazes at their daughters, but then their eyes changed targets to Daimon and after seeing he didn't seem to care about it, they calmed down remembering that now they also had the back up of the both the Revy and Argent families.
Aura suddenly tapped her finger on the desk, seeing that the elite class was still idly chatting in her office.
"You all go to the ceremony hall, there are some announcements to be made before the classes start".
Mireya then took the initiative to invite Irina, Yvonne and Veronica over to the happy wanderer.
"If you want, you can come with me in the meanwhile, my father should arrive anytime soon too, so we can have a drink and wait while the kids finish their classes".
The Risha ladies exchanged some gazes between each other before nodding.
"We'll take up the offer thanks", said Irina.
Veronica smiled, she ruffled Leslie's hair earning a slightly annoyed pout from her daughter but she ignored it, as for Anya she just nodded at Liliana before the three mothers left with Mireya.
Seeing that they were the only ones left Daimon walked towards the door not without saying.
"We have to go too, or the old man is going to be mad at us".
Aisha grabbed Daimon's right arm, while Liz took the left one as they walked along with him, surprisingly even Elaine tagged along, but Erin stayed back.
Calvin, Michael, Yvonne, Leslie and Liliana presented their respects at Aura and Erin before following Daimon.
"You two can stay here, I already told Leena to come pick you up", said Aura as she looked at Dana and Gabriel.
She then stared at Erin and sighed seeing her cunning smiling expression.
"Every time I see that smile, I really think on getting a new best friend you know".
Erin giggled, she waved her hand and her figure dissipated as she casted dark curtain on herself, her voice echoed through the room as she left.
"I will go to take a small walk Ms. Principal, see you around".
Dana calmly took a seat in one of the couches in Aura's office, she then took out some of the candies the Risha ladies gifted her before offering some to Gabriel.
"Older brother, you look tired, here this candy tastes like strawberry, the auntie from the fire crane clan told me it will help me after using my special lightning".
Gabriel raised an eyebrow but he still accepted his little sister's offer, then his eyes widened in surprise.
"How is this a candy, this effect is clearly on the level of a low ranked pill… but the effect it's smoother", he thought, the candy he was chewing had a similar effect to a mana replenishing pill, although it was a low ranked medicine, a bottle of it still costs a few mana stones.
"Wait, Dana how many of these candies have you eaten?", he asked to his sister.
"Mm?", Dana tried to make memory but she only shrugged.
"I don't know maybe ten or fifteen this morning, they taste really good".
Gabriel was speechless, if a novice mage were to eat sixteen mana replenishing pills in a couple of hours, its mana circuits will explode.
But he inspected Dana and she was clearly fine which meant these candies didn't put stress on her mana circuits.
"The fire crane clan has a good control over fire, perhaps that lady is a talented potion master, I will have to tell aunt Leena about this later", he thought.
Outside of the principal's office, Daimon and the others took their time to walk towards the ceremony hall, unlike the past week where the students of the other galaxies could only be seen here and there, right now there were a bunch of them.
But what caught their attention was that besides the white uniform wore by the human students of the blue-sky academy, there were at least another four different uniforms.
Seeing the confusion in the eyes of Daimon and the others, Elaine took the initiative to explain.
"You see, this tournament will only be upheld by the members of the elite class, something which is not common, specially because the year has barely started, so of course it attracted the attention of members of lower ranked academies".
Although the four academies were considered the best ones, that was because the principals of their main campuses were all half emperors, but that didn't mean other academies were worse in terms of their students or resources, it's just that their principals weren't as popular as half emperors for a simple reason… they were magus kings.
"Everyone wants a piece of the treasures this time around huh", mumbled Daimon before shaking his head.
He guided the rest to the ceremony hall where Aliya and Boris were already waiting for them at the entrance.
Boris's serious expression relaxed as soon as he caught a glimpse of his students, this weekend was a madness.
"You brats surely know how to make me wait, perhaps I need to make you all go through a hellish training so that you remember to tell me beforehand that you are still alive", he thought while gritting his teeth.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
