“Miss Nora, what do you think?”
Anyway, Gurei was already dead.
With no evidence, anything could be said. After all, there was no need for proof.
Nora glanced coldly at the deceased Gurei, her expression as emotionless as ever.
This made everyone else nervous.
This was the best solution they could think of.
What if Nora didn’t accept it? What should they do then?
After all, they had truly offended the chosen one of Karea Academy this time.
“Let’s leave it at this. The mastermind behind it, I’ll leave it to House Ponton. I just hope that there won’t be any more strange disruptions from here on.”
After a brief pause, Nora said indifferently.
“Rest assured, Miss Nora, there won’t be such things again!”
Once those words were spoken, Nora vanished from the scene.
The scene that had just unfolded was, to Nora, very real, very ironic, and also very absurd.
At that moment, she realized that only those with strength could speak to others with calm reason.
Nora left just like that, and no one dared to say anything.
Even though she had spoken in a blatantly rude manner, they didn’t dare to retort in the slightest. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Only after Nora left did the people in the council hall breathe a sigh of relief.
Luckily, Nora didn’t choose to pursue the matter further.
If the Karea Academy’s higher-ups had come, things would’ve been much harder to resolve.
It was nothing like now, where they had only lost a foolish head, and the issue could be easily resolved, sparing House Ponton from a major crisis.
Because if they hadn’t done this, if Nora had failed in any way, they would never doubt the methods of Karea Academy.
Nora sat in the courtyard of Tier-Sage’s old residence.
It seemed like she was deep in thought.
“Sister Nora, those words you said just now were really cool! Even those stronger than you were too afraid to breathe.”
Nina appeared beside Nora, speaking enthusiastically.
Nora shook her head.
“They’re not afraid of me, but of Karea Academy.”
“Is that so? But it’s all the same. If you weren’t so strong, Karea Academy wouldn’t have chosen you. If the Headmaster were here, I feel like they wouldn’t have even dared to speak those words.”
Nina took out a token from her storage crystal, sighing as she spoke.
“I wonder when Rose will bring the Death Legion here. Then I can use her name to have some fun.”
Nina had a silver token and a rainbow token in her hand.
Nora smiled and didn’t say anything.
“By the way, Sister Nora, what exactly did you experience inside that half-divine artifact? I feel like… you’ve changed so much since before.”
Upon hearing Nina’s question, Nora hesitated for a moment before responding.
“Actually… I didn’t find any answers. Back then, I deceived the Headmaster.”
“What do you mean?”
Nina was confused.
“I had asked the Headmaster about my future path, and he told me that it was up to me to choose my own way. So he gave me the half-divine artifact. But at that time… I still couldn’t make a choice.”
Nora looked at the sky and continued,
“But I also realized something: only those with great strength have the right to make their own choices! If you’re weak, even if it seems like you have choices, you really have no right to make any.”
“I see… No wonder I feel like you’re a bit like the Headmaster sometimes.”
Nina placed her hand on her head and said.
“Yes, because the Headmaster is my goal.”
Nora replied.
…
A massive pit was located at the center of a mountain range.
It was so deep that it seemed to lead directly to the earth’s core.
From time to time, hot air would billow from the pit.
If someone happened to be near the pit at that moment, their skin would probably be scorched.

Around this enormous pit were buildings.
A small city surrounded the pit.
Thanks to the magic array, the pit’s presence didn’t harm the people living in the city; in fact, it provided a special form of energy for the city.
A snow eagle flew across the sky.
On the back of the snow eagle were dozens of figures.
“If I hadn’t seen it from above, it’s hard to imagine that this city is built entirely around this deep pit.”
Rose commented.
“This is the place of the battle, right?”
“Pretty much, the real battle will take place in the secret realm beneath the pit. This city is just the entrance.”
Daniel looked at the city ahead and the magic array covering it.
This magic array was quite interesting; he had almost figured out how it worked.
“Then let’s stay here for a few days. We can head down when the time comes.”
Rose suggested.
“Alright.”
The three large characters,
Sunken City
, were hanging at the city gate.
The gate was bustling with people coming and going.
The city was far from lacking in people.
Because rare metals would occasionally appear near the edge of the giant pit, many gold seekers had come here.
In another direction of Sunken City, there was a designated area to accommodate guests arriving from the sky.
Airships, spell beasts, and so on…
Suddenly, a spell beast quickly descended from the sky.
The wind generated by its wings made it hard for anyone to keep their eyes open.
The crowd murmured about which major family this person came from.
From the back of the spell beast, a young lady in gorgeous attire jumped down.
She scanned the surroundings, and people quickly avoided her gaze.
“A bunch of idiots, like they’ve never seen the world.”
The young lady sneered.
“Ina, don’t bother with those fools. They’re just pathetic gold seekers looking for an opportunity here in Sunken City.”
An elderly man stepped forward and advised in a low voice.
“Hmph, what’s there to fear? Even if something happens, Brother Garr will protect me!”
After hearing this, the elderly man sighed helplessly.
In fact, Ina’s background wasn’t all that impressive, but the reason she was able to act so recklessly was mostly because of the person she called “Brother Garr.”
He was one of the chosen ones of a major faction.
Not even the older generation could confidently claim victory against him, let alone the younger generation.
Such a prodigy was the only one eligible to participate in this kind of battle.
However, rumors said that Ina’s relationship with him wasn’t all that great, and it wasn’t as deep as she claimed.
But…
Who knows what the temper of this prodigy is like?
“By the way, Band Uncle, I heard that Karea Academy is also sending someone over?”
Ina asked.
“Yes, Miss Ina.”
The old man confirmed.
After hearing this, Ina’s eyes seemed to sparkle.
“That’s great!”
Ina smiled.
“If she comes, it will be even better! I’m sure that when that person sees my relationship with Brother Garr, she’ll be so jealous that she’ll want to die!”
The elderly man named Band said nothing.
He shouldn’t even be here.
Including Ina, they really shouldn’t have come.
But… because Ina insisted on coming, and due to certain reasons, he had to accompany her to protect her.
He just hoped nothing would happen here, or things would be troublesome.
Now, Band finally understood.
Ina’s true purpose for coming here wasn’t just to meet Garr, but more importantly, to show off in front of that girl from Karea Academy.
Ina probably came with the intent of flaunting herself.
“I really hope I can see that bitch soon! This time, I’m going to show her that everything she cherishes belongs to me!”
“She will be waiting in that place, just waiting to die!”
