"Diana, you can get out now."
A woman with pointy ears and a mighty aura said to the girl that was meditating inside a sphere conjured with vines.
As she said that, the vines that were circling the girl slowly and steadily removed from there.
"….."
The girl opened her eyes.
Eyes blue deep like the ocean.
Though those eyes that would normally spread tranquility were now filled with anger.
And the aura that was being leaked from her body was also proof of the fact that the girl was angry and in a bad mood.
"The academy will start a week later, so I will send you to your home for now."
The woman with pointy ears said while looking at Diana.
"Okay."
And she answered with one word and stood up from the place she was sitting.
However, the woman was slightly mad at her attitude.
"Diana, pay your respect. I am your master."
She said while locking her eyes with the girl.
"Is that so? It seemed more like an abductor to me."
However, the girl was unfazed seeing the woman.
"You are no longer my master anymore. The moment you disregarded my opinions, you lost your place in my heart."
And she added those words.
"Are you sure? You know it was your mother who wanted it."
"Really. You could for sure refuse her and stand your ground if you wanted. If you were truly on my side."
"You know it is not that simple."
"Right…. It is never simple….. Truly ironic. Do you think I didn't hear what you talked about with my mother?"
"What? No way, it was you? How? You were under my spell?"
Hearing this, the woman was surprised.
"How do you think?"
Diana said with a cold expression.
"No…. You shouldn't have been able to master it…. I hadn't even taught you that spell."
At that moment, the woman felt a realization and the expression of surprise on her face widened.
"Do you think I am like you? If you didn't want me to learn it, you shouldn't have tried to use that magic on me."
Diana said while her expression stiffened.
"To think you were monitoring me all day long. If I hadn't reached the peak of 4-star rank, I would have never found out about this.
She added while making a green butterfly from the green particles around.
"To think nature magic could be used in such a way, you are truly an exceptional mage, though you have still yet to understand how spirits work."
She continued while looking at the wide-opened mouth of her 'master.'
"Then…. You have heard about it, huh?"
After regaining her composure, the woman said with a relaxed voice.
"Indeed. To think you would try to betroth me to that disgusting dog son of yours."
Though the words that flowed from her mouth were something that made her agitated again.
"HA! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TALKING TO LIKE THAT!"
And she couldn't help but shout.
"Even though it seems my opinion is still being disregarded up to this point, do you think I will simply stay still and won't do anything?"
However, the woman still managed to regain her composure.
"Heh, what can you do? Your family had already given their consent."
And a mocking smile appeared on her face.
"Do you think that useless brother of yours will save you? It seems you are getting more and more delusional with each passing time. Do you really believe in that son of the whore?"
And she added.
However, as for the response to that words, Diana was unfazed.
Even though a cold glint passed through her eyes, she didn't show it on her face."
"What can I do, huh? I will make sure to gouge his eyes, rip each of his nails one by one, smash his genitals, and break his skull until you no longer recognize him. After that, I will give his body to hellhounds to make sure he will be reborn as one of them later. Even if it is the last thing I do, I will make sure to kill him whenever he gets close; you can be sure of that.
The girl added with a cold glint.
The woman who got agitated for a second was able to keep her calm, and the mocking smile on her face returned.
"Bring it on."
Though the woman had a mocking expression on her face.
After that, they did talk no further; Diana left the place, stepping up to the gate that would take her to her house.
"Bunch of hypocrites. Arranged marriage, huh? Do you think you can control me like that, Adelyn? After all the things you have done to my brother, do you think an arranged marriage would be enough? Let me show you how to lose face."
She mumbled and stepped up to the gate, only to be teleported to her 'home.'
Though it was fortunate that her mother, Adelyn, was not inside the mansion since she needed to attend a meeting of rulers.
"Welcome home, Young Lady Diana."
The moment she entered her home, a familiar face welcomed her.
The head maid of the mansion, Susan.
"…."
Though she didn't give her any response since Diana knew Susan was one of those that had tormented her brother before.
After that, she went directly to her room.
"Brother…. I really missed you."
And the moment she entered her room, the first thing she did was find a small spatial ring that was hidden underneath the walls.
There she brought a shirt.
A shirt that looked like a man's.
And she started sniffing it.
That was the beginning of her stay before the academy entrance exam.
And she never once left her room in that time interval, refusing to talk with anybody else.
******
After she finished her exam, Diana was teleported to her room.
"Who is rank 1?"
However, inside, she was surprised, seeing she was the rank 2.
Since she was pretty sure she would get the first rank because the number of participants she eliminated was a new record.
So she couldn't help but get curious.
At that moment, the ranking list came to her help.
And the moment she opened the ranking list, a surprised sound escaped from her mouth.
"Brother?"
Though the first thing she did was to rush to the first-ranked student's dormitory…..
