A week had passed by since our final class competition. We leave this country today, and I may miss this place because of the house. I certainly won't come back.
I had already taken everything we needed into my storage ring. So Livie and I were in our house saying goodbye to this place.
It has been three months since we arrived, and many memories have been made—especially the ones we made physically.
Yesterday we had already said farewell to both our friends and acquaintances. Ruby, who was pretty hurt badly, was doing well. Checking in on her, she was pretty pissed at the results. But I could see her drive to improve.
Gold, who was usually quiet, had a few words with me. Even though she lost to me in a battle, her opinion of me had risen.
On the other hand, Rebecca offered to let Livie and me stay. It was unfortunate that I had to reject such an offer. But the both of us ended on a high note.
Livie had reached the third rank thanks to the mana dispenser and crystal I gave her. I had to smack her away from me to have her train seriously.
"Dear~ ready to set off?" Livie had snapped me out of my thoughts.
"Let's leave." It was already time, and Livie and I made our meeting point.
It was already 2 PM, and Livie and I were supposed to meet up with six of our senior students.
Having arrived at our destination, everyone was already there. It had been months since I had seen them. Unfortunately, our location was far from the others, making it hard for us to meet.
"You sure took a long time to come." Audrey, who had gained her confidence, sure had a big mouth.
"We weren't late." I looked at her while she clicked her and looked away.
"Since we are all here, our instructor should be arriving any minute." Then, finally, a senior student spoke, clearing any bad atmosphere that Audrey had created.
"Miss Solaris, how was your three-month stay here?" A senior that goes by the name of Ashley Bronwyn had asked out of curiosity. It was sad how I was getting used to getting called a girl because I dressed like one.
"I have gained many resources from this school. Not to mention I had observed all the worthy first years going on this year's student's world tournament."
"The princess of this country, who is the strongest of her year, won't be able to defeat me." I had spoken the truth. Just watching everyone battle, no one held a candle close to me.
"As expected of you, Miss Solaris." Ashley, someone from a noble family, is kissing my ass. Audrey, who heard this, clicked her tongue in disgust. In comparison, Livie would give a wry smile. And for the rest, they found this natural.
Before Ashley could continue, our instructor arrived. "I would assume that the academy from the school treated you all well."
"We will be teleporting back immediately, and after that, you will all be going to the headmaster's office." She was right in saying that we had directly teleported back to our school ground in Star State.
Following the instructor, the six of us made our way to the headmaster's office. It was pretty nostalgic seeing everything. Even when we left for three months, it had seemed like years.
"Headmaster, instructor Raven, report in!" Arriving outside the headmaster's office. Our instructor knocked on the door.
With the door opening, the seven of us went in. Looking at the headmaster, she was the same as usual. But, this time, I was sure she was here physically.
Even though I hid my rank as a magician, I could tell that the headmaster knew how strong I was. She had gazed into me as if looking at something interesting. Then, she nodded like she was satisfied with something.
"I would like to welcome you back to our academy." The headmaster calmly said.
"How was your stay at Avaris? Did they mistreat you all?" Asking the questions, the headmaster wanted to know the details of our stay in Avaris.
"Other than the principal of Avaris Royal Academy, who seems to despise us, nothing major concerning had happened." Ashley immediately replied after the headmaster asked.
"Is it true for the rest of you?" The rest of us nodded, agreeing with what Ashley had said. So while the students were competitive, they didn't harm us in any way except for some idiots, and I taught them a lesson.
"Is that so? Then that is all. Take a week's break from school. You will need it for your next lesson." It was pretty ominous when the headmaster said that.
With that, all said, everyone began to exit the headmaster's room. But, before I could leave, the headmaster said, "Charlie Solaris, I would like some words with you."
I looked at Livie and told her to go first, staying in the room. After that, it was just the headmaster and me. "Before you leave, I want to talk about the World's Youth Tournament." Is that what they're going to call it?
"In the World Youth Tournament, I want you to be the first year's captain." That was a relatively quick decision.
"Don't I need to fight for a spot in this year's tournament?" Saying that the headmaster looked at me as if I had a brain rot.
"Do you think you need to do that with your current strength?" Well, she wasn't wrong. I can sweep anyone my age.
"But shouldn't Serena Celeste be the captain? I doubt the Celeste family would allow me to do so." With me saying that, the headmaster shook her head.
"As long as you produce results, no one could object." Results, huh? If I won, no one could complain.
"Is the role captain that important?" You only need strength as the captain if the tournament puts a team's captain on a pedestal.
Hearing my question, the headmaster smiled. "Now the matter is settled. I hope you enjoy your week full of rest."
Having nothing else to say, I left the room.
