221 Chapter 14
Azalia couldn’t believe what she was seeing right now. A handsome man with long beautiful golden hair was sitting in that room with his eyes closed. What surprised Azalia was the man’s characteristics. He has a pair of white wings behind his back and a halo over his head.
The races that had such characteristics in Azalia’s memories were only the angel race, and they only existed in the divine realm where Azalia came from. She didn’t expect to see one of the people of the extinct angel race on the Clorius continent. But Azalia didn’t dare to act rashly by entering and asking for the man’s identity in the room.
Azalia knows nothing about him, and his goal is in this academy. So she would watch him first before deciding what she would do next. As Azalia was deep in thought, the angel race man suddenly opened his eyes towards the room entrance. His gleaming golden eyes stared intently at the place where Azalia was hiding.
After seeing that the man noticed her presence, Azalia calmly backed off and quickly left the place. For now, she didn’t want her existence to be known by the angel race man.
Azalia felt that the world altar fragment she had been looking for might have been kept by that man. If that were the case, Azalia would be in trouble because the angel race was known to be very strong and almost on par with the divine race. If she took it by force, there might be a big commotion in the academy, and she didn’t want that to happen. Azalia thought she should be more careful in her actions from tomorrow night.
Not long after Azalia left, the angel race man appeared where she was before. He frowned and looked at his surroundings but found no one there.
“I’m sure I sense someone’s presence in this place, and it feels familiar. But that person’s presence suddenly disappeared after I came here. Could it be that my senses are having problems because of my long sleep? No, someone must have been here before. I will find out who dared to sneak into the Monarch Palace and spy on my office!” The angel races man’s face became serious, and he disappeared from that place.
The angel race man’s name was Raphael Custodio. He is the principal of the Arcuz Grand Academy and was chosen on the proposal of the Beast Kingdom and approved by the other three kingdoms. Raphael’s origins are still a mystery, and maybe only the king of the Beast Kingdom knows about it.
How could he be accepted as a principal at the academy even though his origins are unclear? That was because the Beast Kingdom was willing to be the guarantee and would be responsible for whatever Raphael did. So the leaders of the other three kingdoms were willing to approve Raphael as the academy’s principal.
In addition, the leaders of the kingdoms in the demi-human region had also met him several times and felt that Raphael was competent and suitable to be the principal of the Arcuz Grand Academy. Another plus is that Raphael is strong enough to defeat all four kingdom leaders who attack simultaneously.
<br/>For some reason, Raphael was still a secret because the leaders of the four kingdoms intended to introduce him at the right time. Because of that, Raphael never even showed up at the academy and met the students.

After Azalia returned to her room, she quickly changed into her nightgown and lay down on her bed. She looked up at the ceiling while thinking about something.
“Fortunately, I immediately left that place. Otherwise, he will definitely find me, and all my plans so far will fail. I still don’t know anything about that guy from the angel race. Whether he is from the divine realm or is he a native of the Clorius continent.” Azalia let out a sigh of relief that she didn’t stay too long in that place. Otherwise, she would be found out and fight against the man. There would be a huge commotion within the Monarch Palace that night, and all her efforts so far would have been in vain.
“I will tell Aghares and Fornius about this later. They should be more vigilant out there. I still don’t know if there is another angel race or not besides him in the Beast Kingdom’s territory. But they should act more carefully in the future to not cause trouble for my plans.” Azalia slowly closed her eyes and intended to sleep. But her mind was suddenly interrupted after remembering her chat with Princess Irene and Princess Seira.
“Argh! Why do those words keep ringing in my mind!? Whoever he is in a romantic relationship should be up to him and not my business! But why am I being bothered by their relationship!” Azalia rolled on her bed while covering her head with a pillow to dispel the thoughts that had been bothering her until now. But what she did was in vain because the words of the two girls were stuck in her memory.
“You must be responsible for what has happened to me, Ken!” Azalia’s scream echoed in every corner of her room. Fortunately, the place was already enveloped in a barrier by Azalia. Otherwise, her voice would be heard from outside the room. Azalia couldn’t sleep that night and kept cursing Ziel’s name until the sun rose.
***
The next day, Azalia came out of her room with a sleepy face and dark circles under her eyes. She couldn’t sleep all night thinking about Princess Irene and Princess Seira’s words.
Unlike a few days ago, the current students came to class wearing their academy uniforms. Students had it since they were accepted into the academy. But their homeroom teacher suggested wearing it a few days before the inauguration ceremony.
That was because important people from all corners of the Clorius continent were expected to start arriving at the Beast Kingdom two to three days before the inauguration of the Arcuz Grand Academy. The principal wanted the students to start wearing their academy uniforms at that time.
The same goes for Azalia. She is currently wearing a plain white shirt wrapped in a red blazer with a gold stripe pattern. The uniform was combined with a short skirt with a colored stripe pattern that matched the red blazer. It made Azalia like showing off her slender and smooth legs. But she wore stockings on her feet because she felt uncomfortable with the short skirt that overexposed her skin.
Even though she was wearing stockings to cover her legs, Azalia still couldn’t hide the sexy aura that radiated from her body because of her uniform. The male students would look at her pervertedly wherever she walked. But what bothered her the most was that Prince Ozkar seemed to fall deeper and deeper in love with her when she wore that uniform, which disgusted Azalia.
“Azeâ¦ah, I mean Azalia. You look so beautiful in that uniform. I didn’t think that the uniform would suit you so well.” Prince Ozkar quickly corrected his call to Azalia when he saw Azalia glaring at him.
“Oohâ¦so you’re saying that the other princesses and I don’t deserve to wear this academy uniform?” Princess Evelyn’s sulking voice came from behind Prince Ozkar. She went to the classroom with Princess Irene, Princess Seira, and Princess Melkia.
“Hahahaâ¦I never had that kind of intention. You are all beautiful in academy uniforms, especially my sister.” Prince Ozkar laughed and saw the pouting face of his sister. But not long after, he looked back at Azalia. He looked at Azalia from head to toe and stopped at her sexy thighs. His gaze seemed to be licking every inch of Azalia’s body.
“Prince Ozkar! Please watch your eyes! I don’t like the way you look at me! If you keep looking at me with that look, then I won’t hesitate to gouge out those two eyeballs of yours!” Azalia said coldly to Prince Ozkar. She hated how Prince Ozkar looked at her and was very angry with him.
Azalia didn’t care anymore about her disguise in the academy. Right now, he was intent on killing Prince Ozkar. Princess Seira and Princess Irene were frightened when they saw Azalia’s gaze and remembered the killing intent they felt yesterday. Fortunately, Princess Evelyn’s scream woke Azalia from her anger and stopped her intention to kill Prince Ozkar.
“Brother! What have you done!? You can’t look at a girl with that look! What you did was very rude to Azalia! You have to apologize to her quickly!” Princess Evelyn shouted angrily at her brother. The other Princesses who came with her were also annoyed by Prince Ozkar’s gaze.
“Ah, I’m sorry, Azalia. I was mesmerized by your beauty and subconsciously looked at you with such a gaze.” Prince Ozkar smiled awkwardly while scratching the back of his head. He just realized that the other Princesses looked at him with disdain and didn’t dare to approach him. Prince Ozkar regretted not being able to suppress his lust and showed it in front of the other students. But no one dared to speak to him except for Azalia and Princess Evelyn because he was a Prince of the Beast Kingdom.
Azalia snorted and ignored Prince Ozkar’s apology. She still couldn’t shake off his anger toward him, including the male students who looked at him with perverted eyes. Prince Ozkar couldn’t help but smile bitterly and walk towards his seat because their homeroom teacher had arrived.
“We won’t be doing any learning activities today as we will be making preparations to welcome our guests from inside and outside the demi-human region. Only class S will participate in this task because we are judged to be the most capable of the other classes.” A middle-aged man with short, neatly cut brown hair and wearing glasses suddenly spoke loudly. That person is the homeroom teacher of class S, and his name is Jourelio Cronan.
The students fell silent after hearing the words from their homeroom teacher. Jourelio smiled and continued his explanation.
“You must be thinking, why should you do the task, right? Why wasn’t the job done by the higher-ups from the kingdom but left to you academy students?” Jourelio understood what the students in his class were currently thinking. The students nodded in response to Jourelio’s words.
“The principal said that your purpose in entering this academy wasn’t just to learn magic or swordsmanship. You are not only taught how to fight in this place but also to socialize, and now is your best chance to learn to socialize, especially with higher-ups from other regions and races.” Jourelio explained his reasoning to the class S students. Even though he had never met the academy’s principal in person, he and the other homeroom teachers often talked to Raphael using communication magic tools.
“Then, what should we do to welcome those guests, Mr Jourelio?” One of the boys in the class quickly raised his hand and asked after Jourelio stopped his speech.
“We will divide class S into several groups, and each of them will have a different task.” Jourelio smiled and adjusted his glasses. He looked at the S-class students and then opened his mouth again.
“I’m just going to divide your work in two. The first was to greet guests as they arrived and escort them to a place that had been prepared for them within the Monarch Palace. The second is to accompany them while they are here. Of course, this second task sounds very boring because you will meet the same people in a few days. Because of that, your positions will be changed every day, so you don’t have to worry about that.” Jourelio ended his explanation.
“So our job is to welcome the guests, escort them to the place that has been prepared and accompany them while they are here. Is that so, Mr Jourelio?” One of the female students reconfirmed Jourelio’s words.
“You are right! Is there anything else you want to ask?” Jourelio smiled and waited for the students in his class to ask another question.
“What if a guest dares to be rude to us?” Princess Evelyn asked Jourelio. The other students nodded because her question represented what they were also thinking.
“Isn’t the answer simple? If they are polite, then we will also be polite to them. But if they act rudely toward you, you have to show your strength as the host of this event. It doesn’t matter if they are important guests. If they go too far, you can fight them, and I will take responsibility for your actions.” Jourelio answered the question with a wide grin on his face, and it looked horrifying in the eyes of the class S students.
