'Do you two sense where they are?' I asked Siva and Styrmir.

'I can, they are about two more kilometers away but..'Siva trailed.

'They are surrounded by monsters infected by demons.' Styrmir continued.

'Thank you.' I told them.

"Sir Tevrian!" I shouted out one of the Head Knight's name. He snapped his head towards me and stood at attention.

"In two kilometers, towards the left. Be careful, there are monsters infected by demons...around about E-ranks." I said, he nodded his head and brought his squad towards that direction.

I tried not to use my powers too much as I needed to let them still fulfill their jobs. I would just heal if ever anyone sustained injuries.

When I got to the site, they were quickly fighting off the 20 monsters, they were stronger than usual as they had been infected by the miasma of a demon..but that could only mean that there is a nest around here.

'It is quite worrisome.' I said through the mind space.

'Why is it so, Euphemia-sama?' . . . 'Because...I can't detect the nest.'

-Third Person's POV-

The Whytemoon President welcomed the Crestbreeze students. The reason why the president of Whytemoon remained at the Academy and did not follow his fellow classmates to Crestbreeze was that the Headmaster was already escorting them.

Also because the President of Whytemoon was the Third Prince of the Empire, Prince Aries Pyrrhos Svetlana.

They were all in formation as they headed filed inside the building. Ryza had trained the chosen students that were to be part of the co-habitation program in their seating plan as Euphemia already had something in preparation for them.

When the Emperor had asked them all to finally sit, extra comfortable cushions popped out of nowhere from the seats prepared for the Crestbreeze students, even the student council members that were in front of the stage.

This was thanks to Euphemia as she always hated sitting for prolonged periods of time, especially during her idol days as Sumiko because it'd hurt her back and was boring. She did the same with all the seats back in Crestbreeze.

Others could only stare in confusion when the Crestbreeze students had an odd grin and smile on their faces when they were just told to sit down.

"We have come here all today to celebrate the Co-Habitation program between two prestigious and notable Academies, Whytemoon and Crestbreeze....." The Vice-Principal then continued with his speech.

All the while during his speech, Perseus and the Imperial Family kept glancing at the crowd for any signs of Euphemia as they were aware, she was in attendance. The Crestbreeze student council kept glancing at the door, as it was taking quite some time that Euphemia was still gone.

It was time for the President's speech and the first to come forward was Aries.

After his speech he then spoke, "President Albercht, I can see that your Vice President is missing. Will they be not the ones to represent your Academy as you cannot stay here? If I may ask, where they are? Is there a problem?" He asked with concern.

Before he could get a response, the guards were trying to decide for twenty whole minutes about how to let the remaining students in since the only entrance was the very large door used at the start of the welcoming ceremony.

The Head Knight was getting impatient and asked for them to just open the door. Euphemia raised her hand to stop him and instead opened the overly large gate-like door herself. Not even with the use of the levers as it was too heavy to just use their hands and yet she did it with ease.

They stared at her, dumbfounded.

The ones inside heard the door opening and so they went to see what it was. There stood Euphemia, with one thrust of her arms the doors winded open. At first glance, she was already identified as she always stood in front of an audience as she is still an idol.

She saluted and then bowed,

"I am the Vice President of Crestbreeze. I am terribly sorry for the late arrival as we had encountered some trouble on our way here." She said.

There were nobles who were complaining but the Empress spoke up to let them pass as they had a valid excuse.

Aries nodded at Albercht and handed him the microphone while Euphemia strutted to the front. She still had her katana on her side as she needed to take it out earlier after when she thought it was just E-ranks.

Many had their eyes on her as her presence naturally attracted attention. She sat down gracefully and fixed her clothes.

-Euphemia's POV-

"Euphie." Mara whispered.

"Hm?"

"There's blood..on your cheek."

"Oh, thank you." She then wiped it with a handkerchief.

"What happened?" Selina asked, worriedly.

"After being surrounded by dozens of E-ranked infected monsters, a B-ranked monster showed out of nowhere was infected by miasma and tried to kill our schoolmates."

"..."

"...Well, thankfully you are safe." Ty sighed.

" *e-ehem* " Quite an annoying voice cleared her throat on the mic. I went to see who it was and it was a pink-haired woman. I don't know why but, I don't like her already. Her aura does not please me for some reason. I can't detect anything aside from the magic tool on her wrist.

"I am the Vice President of Whytemoon Academy, though, unlike Crestbreeze, I was allowed to leave and be the head representative of our school because I am a royal but our most trusted secretary stepped up and took it upon himself to take on the role. You all may know me as Rose on stage but I shall introduce myself formally.." She then stood up straight and gracefully.

" I am the Proud Vice President of the Whytemoon Academy, the right hand to the President of Whytemoon Academy, Prince Aries Pyrrhos Svetlana the Third Prince of Svetlana Empire. Epione Rhosyn Isabella Svetlana, the First Princess of Svetlana Empire is at your service." She said with a confident and dignified smile.

I clapped my hands while internally smirking,

'Found you, you little pest.'

The students from Crestbreeze were not entertained though still clapped along but the students from Whytemoon were very compassionate towards their dumb leader. So that magic tool on her wrist contains Charm Magic..an illegal type of magic that is quite hard to detect.

"Though, I'd like to add. I know that someone special in my heart is here with us today. She was a former student of Whytemoon but due to certain circumstances, she had to transfer to Crestbreeze Academy. A person I treasure with all of my heart, my sister, Euphemia! Please come up on stage, my dear sister! How I have missed you!" She said with tears spilling from her eyes.

'Such Bullshit' I thought.

'Euphie-sama!' Siva scolded me.

'She's right though.' Styrmir shrugged.

I looked over to Albercht and the head professor that was in charge of us and he said through our communication bracelet that there was nothing in the program that stated that I, as her sister, had to come up on stage.

There were snickers and murmurs all around. The Emperor was visibly tensed and was about to open his mouth. I was very much not in the mood to be part of any further drama or even witness any further drama, so I stood up. Might as well get this over with.

" Did she just bow to Prince Aries but just brushed past Princess Rhosyn?? "Many whispered.

' Yes I did, so what.'

" That's treason! "

' I don't care, to be honest. '

" The audacity! "

' Oh wow, so scary. '

" Who does she think she is?!! "

' ..*chuckles* '

" Fame really does ruin your way of thinking. "

' Couldn't agree more, Lady Teala who is part of the same idol group as Rhoshit. '

I cleared my throat away from the microphone and spoke up.

"I think I might as well introduce myself. I would like to keep this short, I am the Vice President of the Crestbreeze Academy. I will be in charge of the general protection, safety, and well-being of my Academy along with Lady Freya, our board head and head professor. If you have any problems with our students please report it to me or to Lady Freya but as much as possible, deal with it yourselves like proper civilized humans." I said.

"Excuse me, I am calling for my sister, not you Miss. Also, do not worry, I will not take offense to your disrespect towards me earlier." Rhosyn said through a different mic and obnoxious laughter filled the air.

"I am not done talking, aren't I?" I asserted and they all immediately quieted down.

" *sigh* As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted. I'd like to introduce myself.. as I've said before, I am the Vice President of the Crestbreeze Academy, Euphemia Isolde Crestbreeze-Svetlana. Formally I would be Euphemia Photine Isolde Svetlana, the First Princess of the Svetlana Empire. Or so I am aware in legal documents that are my title. So, why should I bow down to someone lower ranking than I that I have not given my recognition or anything in that matter as I am not obliged to? " I said while raising a brow at her.
