The Academy's Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter

Chapter 155-160: Ring (1-5/Interlude)

Märchen Academy did not close for even a single day.

It was unlike last year when there had been frequent shutdowns due to countless incomprehensibly massive incidents. This year, they established a secure and detailed system in preparation for national-level crises.

The students who had been at Märchen Academy last year were quite shocked at this drastic change.

Eltra Sea was temporarily prohibited from being entered.

This was because the academy's faculty and Imperial Knights were investigating the cause of the Abyssal Sea Monster's appearance, even utilizing the resources of the Magic Tower.

There were plenty of discussions among the students about the cause of the demons' appearances and the identity of the Nameless Hero.

In particular...

...There was a claim that the academy would gather the students of the ice element and somehow reveal the hero's identity.

The opposing side made the rebuttal that the Nameless Hero must have a reason to hide their identity and that they must not bother the archwizard who was protecting them.

The students exchanged many different thoughts about the Nameless Hero.

Some praised the Nameless Hero and admired his strength, and some were still suspicious of this mysterious figure who may or may not be their ally. As such, the students' opinions began to divide in several different directions.

The Nameless Hero quickly became the hottest issue within Märchen Academy.

***

Boasted to be the best academy on the entire continent, the authority of the Headmistress matched the academy's fame.

Headmistress Elena Woodline, a beautiful woman with her rose-red hair put up in a bun.

Though she was in her 70s, thanks to her skill [Immortality], she could maintain the appearance of her prime 20s.

Within the space called Märchen Academy, absolutely no one held more authority than her. She was the collective owner of what one might consider everything, whether that be beauty or power...

...On the outside at least.

"H-hello! Sir Magrio! Ahahah! W-what nice weather we're having!"

In reality, she was always struggling under the name of money and power.

Bartos Hall, the focal point of the academy's administration. In the drawing room.

The doors opened, and a woman with a white coat draped over her shoulders entered. It was Elena Woodline, the Headmistress of Märchen Academy.

She brightly greeted Magrio, the Vice-Commander of the Fenrir Knights, the 4th Order of Knights of the Empire.

Her bright voice was habitual. It creaked like a robot from her anxiety. 'Miss Headmistress...' Elena's female secretary quietly muttered to herself.

The middle-aged Vice-Commander, Magrio, lightly lifted his hand to acknowledge Elena. Behind him were three knights standing guard, swords sheathed at their sides.

Elena sat down across from Magrio.

"G'day, Lady Elena."

"Would you like a drink?!"

"Herb tea."

"Alright! Hey! Get us two cups of herbal tea!"

Headmistress Elena frantically ordered her female secretary to retrieve the drinks. She was expressing the fact that she was anxious through her body language and actions.
