As Eunbi continued her way towards the main hall where the students were planning to go, Yuju, who was just walking behind her, kept blabbering about the things Eunbi missed while she was staying at the academy. The purging of the people of Muspelheim, the events Alm has pulled to celebrate their victory of conquering the other small worlds lead by low-profiled dwarfs and other creatures.

"It was marvelous!"

"Right, marvelous," Eunbi answered. Yuju huffed and rolled her eyes, she didn't even pay attention. But then again, it was much better for her to be like this than to be the academy's lovely SinB.

It's our time to reign.

"And you have the decency to say "it's our time to reign" when our sources of magic are much lower than the academy, what exactly are you planning to do?"

Eunbi stopped walking and turned her head to Yuju. She stepped forward, stared at her eyes with obvious authority. Yuju could only chuckle and smile.

'So she heard me...'

"Years passed since the day you were kidnapped by Yunji's students, we may look so small but conquering different worlds isn't the only thing we did. Do you think we're that low? The forces we have, I'm proud to say that it's enough for us to win this war."

Yuju watched Eunbi turn around and face the hallway again without acknowledging her answer nor saying that she understood what Yuju said. This girl might be hard work but it's worth it. Having Eunbi by their side is exactly what they've been waiting for.

After all, a ranking will be announced when all of this ends.

"War?" Eunbi laughed lowly, confusing her companion. "This isn't war, it's a mere fight between a dragon and a whale. Blow a fire, and they will release the water inside, although the water they've been keeping has already gone to the other side."

"Confident, aren't you?" Yuju snickered. "Are you telling me that we are 'sure-win' just because you're now with us? As expected, I couldn't care less."

"Protecting me from my true nature isn't the main reason why they took me, it is to gain more power to destroy this world. That said, I am confident that with me alone, a planet can be destroyed. Fire never goes along with water, and now that the time has come and I'm back, Muspelheim will completely expel the world that that academy has been protecting."

Destroy those who stand in front of you. They're against because of longing for power alone.

As Yuju opened her mouth, about to applause for Eunbi's words and dedication for protecting the promise she made when she was a child, a random boy who was about two years younger than them came with shaking hands and teary eyes.

"W- What kind of story are you talking about?" Sounds of footsteps getting louder behind the wall. Yuju and Eunbi waited for him to reveal himself. "You're our representative... so why are you not fighting with the other councils?"

"Ah, so they're here," Yuju mumbled. Eunbi, on the other hand, faced the front once again and sharpened her senses. She could hear muffles and small screams, but why is it only small? As far as she knows, she can hear even only a very low whisper from a thousand kilometer away.

"Y- Yuna-ssi!" The student gasped, surprised to see the two girls from their academy together here, both wearing a cape and not helping the others. "What are you doing?! We're losing numbers and-"

"It's Yuju here, now die."

"The students are dying!"

He shouted, and it was so loud that it rang in Eunbi ears so she quickly loosened her senses. "Fuck," she mumbled and caressed her ears.
