Koko sat to the side, resting his chin on his hand, deep in thought.

According to Erica, this was combined with the elemental upheaval she sensed within the rift.

It's easy to see that Victor has gone to challenge the Calamity again.

Although the probability of the Calamity of Wind actively seeking out a human girl is very low, it is by no means zero.

Moreover, this was not a coincidence.

Back in the city of mages, Viktor also challenged the Calamity of Wood.

Erica had also exhibited unusual behavior before that.

Her body was covered in flowers, not because of a disease, but because of the strong wood element.

Thinking about it this way, Kokot couldn't help but feel that Viktor was outrageous.

The fact that this girl could be carried from the North across the entire Empire to the South by the Calamity of the Winds means that Victor must know something.

Perhaps, Viktor did it on purpose.

Kokote is now certain.

This blonde girl must have some connection to misfortune.

Koko rested his chin on his hand and squinted at the weakened Erica.

Just then, Aurelion gracefully stood up.

"I see."

She looked at Erica.

"Erica du Chloe".

"First of all, I want to apologize to you. I misunderstood your relationship with the teacher."

"And I want to express my gratitude for your sacrifice; it was your appearance that saved tens of thousands of residents in the North."

Aurelion bowed slightly to Erica.

Erica felt somewhat apprehensive, after all, the person apologizing and thanking her was the princess of the empire.

She didn't even know what had happened.

She wanted to get up and return the greeting, but she was too weak and her legs were too limp to stand up.

However, there was no need for her to return the greeting, and Aurelian stood up again.

But this time, her gaze carried a subtle hostility.

This surprised Erica, who was somewhat bewildered.

"The fact that the teacher went to save you shows that you are important to him."

"But I will not lose."

Aurelion looked intently at Erica, her tone brimming with confidence:

"The Royal Magic Academy will be opening soon, and at that time, the academy will enroll new students."

"I will enroll at that time and join the teacher's class."

As Erica stared in astonishment, Aurelion proudly raised her head.

"I will prove it to the teacher."

"Who is he, the best student?"

After saying that, she turned around gracefully and slowly walked away.

“Member Yad, if the teacher returns, please pass on this message to me.”

"I'm going back to rest now."

Koko lay on the cloud, yawned, his face buried in the cloud, and gave a low "hmm".

Gwen gave Erica a conflicted look, then followed Aurelion, escorting her away.

The Crown Prince has already prepared accommodations for Aurelion.

As Aurelion's personal knight, Gwen must stay by Aurelion's side and protect her at all times.

Erica still seemed somewhat dazed as the two left.

After all, she had just woken up and was quite confused by the situation.

In the huge house, only she and Coco were left.

The former elven councilor still looked drowsy.

Seeing her drowsiness, Erica's mind also became heavy.

She felt a little like going back to bed and lying down for a while longer.

As she struggled to her feet, the drowsy Cocotte suddenly uttered incoherent words:

"Hmm, you should make good use of the power within you."

"Perhaps, before long, I will see the youngest third-tier mage appear."

Upon hearing Kokot's words, Erica froze on the spot, stunned for a second.

The youngest... third-tier mage?

This title, in the Empire, was originally Viktor's exclusive domain.

He became a third-tier mage at the age of twenty, and his reputation as a genius even spread throughout the empire.

And does she have a chance to break Professor Victor's record?

Erica's heart was pounding with excitement.

In that case, wouldn't I be able to narrow the gap between myself and Professor Victor?

"..."

No, that's not enough.

Erica recalled Victor's godlike power in the illusion.

The immense power that Victor displayed when he went all out was comparable to that of the black dragon that appeared in the far north.

Besides, they did say that.

Professor Victor saved himself from that monster...

At that moment, Erica clutched her chest.

My heart, which was acting up, started beating even faster.

She didn't know whether it was Koko's words that made her so happy and excited.

Or perhaps it's for some other reason.

Suddenly, Cocot, who was fast asleep, seemed to have suddenly remembered something and woke up with a start.

She looked up and saw Erica.

"Wait a minute, are you a student at the Royal Magic Academy?"

Erica was completely bewildered by Kokot's somewhat overreaction.

But she still nodded slowly.

"Yes...that's right."

"The academy founded by Rachel Azure?"

“Mr. Rachel is indeed the dean of our college.”

Cocot blinked, as if he couldn't accept it, covered his head, and looked like he was about to cry.
