Chapter 81: First Division And Magicians Duties

Aarya Quime was dissatisfied with Marui Osklain's way of handling things. Now that they knew she was a good-for-nothing, there were many ways to get back at the princess.

But why was she so impatient to do so in front of everyone? And even if she wanted to humiliate her before the whole academy students, she should do so in a way where she could get the job and would not dirty herself.

'What is the point in personally stepping forth when all you will get is her back? Can't you see the senior brothers are on her side?'

Disgusted, she quietly walked behind the throng of students.

She already made the mistake of unnecessarily getting herself humiliated at the princess's hand. Her plan this time was to lay low and wait for an opportunity to strike. 

The Sealand Academy was divided into first, second, and third divisions. Each division corresponded with the magician students grade years.

The first years division was situated on the outskirts of the academy. The second years on the center and third years close to the heart of the academy where most of the administration of the academy took place.

Princess Qamari followed the seniors to the first years division building. 

The huge black-purple crystal palace was in the shape of an ocean clam circled in blue-pink windows, with translucent underwater plants and flowers decorating its surface and peach colored sea rocks lining its floor.

Colorful corals grew and wrapped around the structure and combined with the luminous round pearls swirling above, a mystical and gorgeous underwater palace was portrayed.

"This is the first division palace of first years. Here, you will begin your training lessons as magicians. You will also find the building of knowledge, hall of magical weapons, hall of trade, hall of treasures, and hall of medicine for first years inside." Teng Wang explained as they neared.

"I am sure. Most of you are probably confused right now about what those halls are. But don't worry. As you integrate into the academy and its lifestyle, you will slowly come to know what they are. Your places of residents will be determined by your Master's status."

"And of course, if you ever need any help, you can always seek us out." As he said this, his gaze fell on Princess Qamari.

Princess Qamari, deeply immersed in the mesmerizing view before her, completely ignored the hot glare burning into her skull.

In the desert kingdom of Jinn, such a view was an impossible sight to see.

'Sigh. Some people are truly persistent. I have not done anything to attract this annoying bug's attention, so why is he so interested in me? If Crown Prince Lail finds out I attracted flies and bees while wandering outside, he might just puke blood.'

The image of her husband spurting blood brought a brief light to her purple pupils, swirling them in a radiance of silver.

Unbeknownst to her, the slight flash of light and joy in her eyes was captured by the two seniors and prospective Marikeen's who were keenly observing every minute change in her aura and expression.

And of course, every one of them had different opinions and thoughts about the sudden change in the ice beauty's aura.

"Ahem!"

Seeing Rong Li's gaze glued to Princess Qamari, Teng Wang was forced to loudly clear his throat and snap him back to his senses.

"Brother Rong, why don't you put in some words? I am sure the apprentices would love to know how you became the leader of the second year students."

Teng Wang instantly regretted the moment the words left his mouth.

The last thing he wanted was for the girl to be attracted by Rong Li's achievements and outstanding talent.

With his heart pounding in his ears, he nervously glanced to the side.

What he saw made him secretly sigh in relief.

The girl, as if she hadn't heard his words, was still immersed in admiring the scenery around her.

Rong Li was obviously aware of this point as well, his eyes dimming as they swiveled onto the uninterested Princess Qamari before shifting away.

His head raised, he calmly spoke of the many ways to accumulate points and earn merits through mission completions.

"As you may already be aware from your experience in the dark forest, aside from wild beasts, there are also magical beasts dwelling within the seven realms. Similar to magicians, magical beasts have the ability to wield certain elemental abilities and possess higher intellectual talents."

"Aside from this, however, they also possess another important factor that magician's do not. That is their heightened senses and formidable physical strength. This means, magicians have to work twice as hard, to fight and defend against their invasion."

"In each of the seven realms, there is one main academy that leads smaller and secular schools of magical academies. This main academy is led by a headmaster that is a Great Magician belonging to the Seven Order."

"For the Iris realm, that main academy is our Sealand Academy, led by Headmaster Iiam. As the head academy of all the magical schools within the realm, it is situated close to the realm heart, directing and supervising the rest of the magical schools."

"It is also in charge of coming up with plans and strategies to defend and fight back against the magical beasts invasions. That is where merit points and achievements from mission completions come in. You will have to take missions to fight back, defend, or guard against magical beasts invading certain regions of the realm."

"This is really important, because in order to gain access to better resources and graduate from your status as first years, you all need to meet certain merit points and mission completion requirements."

"The higher number of missions you complete and the greater the ranking of the missions, the faster you can shed your status as first years and become second years. The rise in status will also give access to better training resources."

The new apprentices were stunned and overwhelmed with the sudden inflex of information.

Many of them were aware of the wild beasts attacks, as they lived in regions far from civilization, dominated by creatures of nature. 

However, the attack of magical beasts was a completely different concept. This was completely new information to them.

After all, magical beasts were creatures rarely seen in human populated regions.

"Senior brother, you just said invasion of magical beasts. Do you mean to say that magical beasts are invading the realms? And how come this is the first time we are hearing about this?" Stali was perplexed about this situation.

For as long as she has lived, she never once heard of the mention of magical beasts invasion.

"Yes, senior brother. How come we never knew about the magical beasts invasion? In fact, I had no idea magical beasts even existed before entering the dark forest." Another apprentice doubtfully added.

Magical beasts were invading the seven realms and it seemed no one knew about it.

Many of the apprentices had the same questions. Before arriving at the academy, they had never heard of the magical beasts invasion. 

Believing the realms to be ones where the wealthy and high ranking officials and ministers ruled, the only thing they ever had to worry about was living comfortable and carefree lives.

But now, they seemed to be hearing about a mystical tale within their realm that they never knew existed.

"Yes, magical beasts are invading the realms. In fact, they have been attacking the borders of the seven realms for centuries now. The only reason why they have not been successful in their attacks is because of the magical academies and the Seven Order that leads them."

"The magicians of the academies perform missions and tasks to prevent the magical beasts from breaching the magical shields of the realms. They lead troops made up of magicians with elemental abilities, to attack their bases and force them back into their territories."

"As for the reason why none of you ever knew about this, that is because all of you were not qualified to know about it before."

"Defending the realms and fighting against magical beasts are the unspoken duties of magicians. Duties that only they can take up and carry. Duties that will now fall on you as magicians, as well"

"As for weak and powerless humans, it is more than enough if they are able to defend against the wild beasts invading their lands." The arrogance and pride in Rong Li's tone was un-maskable.

And the apprentices knew why.

They would feel the same pride and arrogance if they were the ones fighting against the magical beasts. If they were the ones defending and protecting the lands that many humans ignorantly lived in. 

"Since you now know your senior brother Rong is the head of the second years, you should also know the reason why. Brother Rong has completed the most missions and earned the greatest amount of merit points among all the second years in the academy." At this point, another second year student walking along side the apprentices, proudly chimed in.

"Fighting against magical beasts is our brother Rong's specialty." Another cheerfully added.

Princess Qamari, hearing everything the seniors said, was stupefied for a brief moment, before returning to her senses. She resumed her indifferent appearance, seemingly unaffected by the discussion.

Since the moment she met the Crown Prince, her world view was no longer the same.

The events she encountered and experienced were nothing short of a magical tale.

As for the duties of a magician, the academy would have to wait until she was ready to take them upon herself.

'I wonder if Crown Prince Lail is a magician as well. After all, one way or another, this mess I am in has some connection with him.'

Fondly reminiscing of their first meeting, she dazedly entered the purple-black clam palace with the throng of apprentices and second year seniors.
