At the same time while Lilith was introducing herself, in another location in the academy, Freya's office.
Freya was sitting in a big chair, she was glaring at the woman sitting in front her legs crossed.
''I'm busy as you can see. Why-"
Elseria didn't let Freya finish before stopping her. ''Oh my, my, don't be so cold. I just came to see how my protégé is doing.''
''Don't worry he's fine. I'm not planning to snatch him from you. I'm not-"
''It's why you're still a virgin.'' Elseria teased Freya with a smile.
Instantly, the temperature in the room plummeted to a dangerous degree, the whole room was covered in layers of frost.
Elseria was unfazed by this amount of cold, she was still smiling, waving her hands, a green light covered the room, this green light dispersed the frost in the blink of an eye.
Freya clicked her tongue in annoyance, crossing her arms she said, ''You talk as if yourself-"
Once again she couldn't finish because she was locked in place by a terrible force, Freya could not help but shiver, others may think they know this woman, know what she was capable of, however, they don't know anything, the real her, her true strength. She knew because-
''Little Freya, it's how you talk to your mentor? What a gal. Forget it, let's talk about serious matters, shall we?"
Freya sighed in relief in relief when she saw Elseria not pursuing the previous matter.
''You are talking about her? You know what her attentions are." She said.
''I do. The last is too cunning. I tested her when she made a blunder. Fortunately, she cooperated if not, hehehe she'd hard time settling in here.'' Elseria said.
''Did you think her plan will work?" Freya asked.
''Let's hope so. The situation in the demon continent is chaotic. Seriously, it seems some of them never learn. To think that lass will also show up.'' Elseria said looking in the direction of Alex's classroom, her gaze seemed to pierce through everything to watch Artemia, having sensed something Artemia smiled.
Elseria's lips twitched, ''This girl. Fufufu, for a partially awakened being you're sure cocky.''
''I heard Artemia invited Alexander to her mansion yesterday.'' Freya suddenly said this.
''I know. Let her do what she wants for now. We have more serious things to talk about. So, as you mentioned people keep disappearing?"
Elseria asked, her playful side had disappeared and was replaced by seriousness.
Freya nodded before giving Elseria files that contain details of the missing individuals.

~Back to Alex's classroom.
Chris did not seem surprised by Lilith's introduction, he must know beforehand her real identity. The current relationship with the demon can be considered a little peaceful, the princess of the powerful Astaroth's Family, the current royal family becoming a student at the Imperial Magic Academy can be seen as a way to further strengthen humanity and the demon's current relationship.
'Well, I'm just a teacher. I hate politics anyway.'
Chris murmured while observing his students, to him they're all his students, race, status, matter not to him.
''Let's start,'' he announced.
Alex was still lost in thought, after wracking his brain he was aware of why Lilith seemed familiar to him. They knew each other.
'So it's you. I wonder if the current you is the truth you. Are you also a reincarnated?' he started wondering.
''Alexander, it seems today's lesson is not to your liking?"
Suddenly Alex heard Chris's stern voice. Lifting his head Alex saw everyone looking his way, he was too focused on thinking about Lilith that he had forgotten that he was still in the classroom.
Scratching his head awkwardly, he apologies
''My bad, I was thinking about something. I promise it won't happen again, please continue.''
Chris stared at Alex for a moment before continuing, Leon chuckled, he had tried warning Alex to focus, however, it didn't work as Alex was too lost in his thoughts to hear his warnings.
''As I was saying earlier, today's lesson would be on the number of years you gain per Realm. However, before starting can someone tell me the four races' normal lifespan?"
Chris's voice echoed through the classroom.
To Chris's question, it was Luna who replied,
''Human normal lifespan is = 90 years, Beastmen= 100 years, Demon= 150 years and Elves= 200 years.''
''Exactly, now let's talk about how many years you'll earn per Realm,
✒ Beginner Realm: an increase of 50 years
✒ Intermediate Realm: 100 years
✒ Master Realm: 150 years
✒ Grandmaster Realm: 200 years
✒ Saint Realm: 300 years
✒ Demi-God Realm: 500 years ''
If Alex and others managed to step into the Demi-God Realm, because their race is different from a normal human, they will live for more than 1000 thousand years.
''Now let's talk about dungeon's level. As most of you know, there are three levels: Low, middle, and High.
Nobody knows how dungeons come to be, they existed since the creation of the world. Maybe it was the creation of a Supreme being, nobody knows. A dungeon can exist as long its core is not destroyed. Sometimes when a dungeon disappeared after being conquered, another one will appear. Dungeons are everyone dream because of the endless amount of treasures you can find within it and also most importantly because dungeons are like a farming ground to become stronger, there's an endless amount of monsters at your disposal to get stronger, it's why everyone wants to possess the license to dive into dungeons. As students of the Imperial Magic Academy you're lucky, after graduation you'll automatically get a license to enter most of the dungeons in the world. Perform well, it's to say if you are an outstanding student, you'll receive a Black gold license, with this license you can access any dungeons in the world. Well, we will talk about what Black gold license is another date.'' Chris stopped talking for a moment.
Alex and others were interested in this Black Gold Licence, however judging from their teacher's words, he will not continue talking about it today. They could not help but sigh with disappointment.
Chris opened his mouth to continue today lesson,
''Low-level dungeons are composed of 12 to 15 floors, Middle Level one is composed of 55 floors, as for High-Level dungeons, they are composed of 100 floors, something more than 100 floors. On each five-floor, there's a Boss level monster guarding it. However, like everything in this world, there is some exception, sometimes instead of seeing Boss every 5 floors, you'll encounter one every 7 or 10 floors, those dungeons are called irregular ones.''
Chris stopped for a moment to let his students digest this information. His explanations were more detailed compared to what one may read inside a library.
''After the mock battle in few days, the most outstanding students will be selected to explore low-level dungeons,'' Chris announced.
''Low level?" Someone asked, this person seemed dissatisfied about the reward proposed.
Chris couldn't help but chuckle, ''It seems that some of you are dissatisfied with what I said. It's understandable because of your background, you may have had the chance to explore the low level, even middle level one. However, do not compare those garbage dungeons with the ones I'm talking about. I said Low level, however, they are composed of 30 floors, one wrong move and you'll die even if you are Rank 6. So, do not get too conceited. You've not explored the world yet, there are lots of unknown things in this world that can shatter your common sense, shatter your beliefs.''
Facing Chris's stern warning, the students who were about to complain shut it. Alex nodded his head thinking that what Chris said was not wrong, most of the students were impatient to start exploring High-Level dungeons because they have been training in middle-level dungeons, however, what they did not know was that there are different types of Low, Middle, and even High-Level dungeons.
''Even though I said there are three levels of dungeons, I forget to tell that they are classified by Difficulties: Easy, Normal, and Hard. Let's take, for example, the Low-level dungeons I was talking about, the one the students who will perform well in the incoming Mock battle will have the chance to explore. Even if it's Low-level dungeon, its level of difficulty is Hard, it's why it's composed of 30 floors instead of 12 or 15. By the way, Low-level dungeons with 1-15 are considered Easy, while 15-20 floors are considered Normal difficulty.''
'I see. I wonder what level of difficulty the dungeon, Artemia and I, are going to explore is?' Alex wondered, unconsciously he looked in Artemia's direction, and coincidentally she was also doing the same thing, smiling she mumbled something.
Alex's widened when he reads her lips, what she said was this '70 floors.'
'What? This is without a Hard level difficulty for a Middle-Level dungeon. I wonder what she's after. Is there any particular reason for her to want to go into that dungeon? I'm sure it not because she wants to increase her level, talking about her level I don't know her rank. Is she stronger than me?' Alex wondered because he wasn't able to appraise Artemia the day they met, no even now he couldn't, it was impossible.
And as if reading Alex's mind, Silveria announced.
〖Indeed, She is.〗
