PoV: Aliyah

What is that boy, Fir, doing? He picks up a book, looks at it for a few seconds to a few minutes, and then puts it back into the shelf. Is he actually able to finish reading them in such a short time?

The principal asked George who was beside him as he looked at the surveillance magic.

I dont think so. That boy is probably frustrated on what magic skill book to choose, I guess? Inside the tower, at the very least, the skill books are of at the Ougi level. Its probably not that simple finding the spell thats suitable for him, right?

After hearing their conversation, In place of Fir, I felt shameful for him.

How is that guy frustrated on choosing which book he wants? Hes obviously expertly flipping the books on one hand, and then rapidly tapping on the Yes button on the skill learning notification panels on the other!

Looks like that guy realized he could not sneakily take the books away, so he decided to start learning the spells inside. It seems he didnt make that much of a loss by not being able to learn the advanced-grade magic in the library. Hes currently earning all of his losses back.

But at that time, that guy had such a righteous-looking expression, and I had thought of going straight to the cathedral to look for him. I didnt expect that in the end, he was saved by those two girls

Aaaaaah, why do I feel so frustrated whenever I think about it!

Crap, after yelling that out, I realized everyone around me was looking at me weirdly.

I hurriedly apologetically lowered my head, and then, I immediately left the site.

I will just allow Fir to cause a commotion by himself. I think its best for me to look for new quests nearby.

PoV: Fir

When I walked out of the Academy Tower with a face full of smiles, what appeared before me were two guys with bitter faces, the academy principal and Uncle George.

What is it? Elders, you two dont look really happy.

Cough cough, Fir, earlier, you stayed in the Academy Tower for so long, and in the end, you actually chose something like that. Why?

About that

I looked at the ring on my hand that I just obtained, and then began to think.

Earlier, when I finished learning from all the books in the tower, I began to look for something that was suitable for me to use. After all, after learning all the spells, I naturally did not need the books anymore, and I had to at least take something out of the tower.

But inside, all the weapons and armor actually had level restrictions. Even though there were several good stuffs, but the equipment I could use now all had weak effects, hence, they did not have any value in my eyes at all.

However, just when I was about to casually pick out an equipment that increases defense, suddenly, the Famous Detective skill actually lighted up! I looked around, and realized something on the shelf at the other side of the room was flashing.

Thats right, it was flashing. Think for a moment. When youre playing an RPG, and theres something flashing on the table. What will you do? And back then, that thing was sparkling, and my OCD cells compelled me to walk over.

3rd Relic of the Momiji

1 of the 7 keys used to open Momijis secrets.

Able to store a meter-square sized living being.

Although I really like its ability to store a meter-square sized living being as well, but, it being Momijis relic was the main reason why I was attracted to it.

According to what I know, the only people that would call themselves the Momiji were only the Momiji Secret Society, right?

After pondering and looking at it for a long time, I decided to bring it out.

Because it looks nice.

While I said that, I picked the ring up and began to scrutinize it.

Three pieces of leaves connected at the exterior of the ring, forming a circle. From an artistic viewpoint, it is definitely a decent artistic piece of work.

Oh my god

I seemed to have felt the principal releasing a sigh, as if I did not meet his expectations.

Isnt this a pretty good outcome? I left a few more items for our students to choose from in the future.

I smiled, as a I looked towards Princess Michelle who was beside me.

She actually took out an entire chunk of natural magical ice stone. That thing is different from the regular magic crystal. Natural magical ice stones are actually formed naturally, and could store more magic.

The Ice Empire is large, but there are still some things that are impossible to obtain even with money. This natural stone is one of them. Without a place like this magical academy where Magicians gather, who will risk their lives to obtain an item like this?

I saw the side of the principals lips twitching a little.

Obviously, he was definitely thinking why such a large natural stone was thrown into the store. For such a large chunk of natural stone, even if its in this magical academy, it probably only amount to a few as well. For it to be taken away as a prize, his heart must definitely be tearing apart and bleeding right now.

But, rules are rules. Since Princess Michelle was able to scavenge this natural stone from the bunch of items inside, then the principal has no reason to forbid her from taking it away.

Cough cough Very good. Looks like you have all chose something that you like. Our academy feels proud of you, our students.

Is that really so? Arent you thinking of beating us up in your heart?

Alright, even if youre not thinking of that, your body has betrayed you. Your name is actually jumping constantly between the colors, red and white, you know.

But, in a place like this, even if he has a hundred times more guts, he still definitely will not dare to act.

After the simple ceremony, this years Annual Tournament ended. This annoying event has finally came into a conclusion.

There isnt going to be an event like this one next year, right? Even if you kill me, I wont participate in it again. Its too frustrating.

Of course, unless theres something really worth the trouble, then I might decide to participate again.

And at this moment, I suddenly heard a ring from the systems notification. When I looked at the screen that popped out, I actually realized that the countdown for the tainted wings has ended.

Tainted Piece of Angels Wing, Tainting Countdown: 0 Hours 0 Minutes

Tainted status ended. Tainted status removed.

Eh?

Tainted status ended? Tainted status removed?

Hey hey hey! No matter how I looked at it, that Tainting Countdown was a Beginning to be Tainted countdown, but its actually the countdown for how long the tainted status will last!

System, who the hell taught you language?

Are you trying to kid me?

While I was still stunned, the black spots on my wing slowly disappeared, and it returned to its original look.

I wasnt the only one who was startled, especially Uncle George who was right in front of me, he was so shocked that his mouth was opened up wide.

Are you hungry?

Ah? Hah?

Obviously, Uncle George did not know why I asked something like that.

Otherwise, why are you opening up your mouth so wide? Are you planning to eat me?

No That Of course not Its just that, this is the first time I see someones tainted wing being restored naturally This This is simply an unprecedented miracle

I already told you. Im such a pure person, even if the king of darkness was to personally pay a visit, he still wouldnt be able to taint me. Really, why cant you guys understand that?

When I uttered out these words, I almost wanted to puke.

But, I tried my best to keep my expression natural, otherwise, I would definitely be exposed.

This Im really sorry. Earlier, I was

Alright, you dont have to say it. Just dont bother me again in the future.

But since you have such potential, then

I!

I stared deeply into Uncle Georges eyes, and then said.

will never join the Church, so you dont have to worry. Lets go, Princess Michelle.

Leaving Uncle George and our academys principal who could do nothing to stop me, I brought Princess Michelle away and left.

The feeling of acting big, is the best.
