Kokot sat aside, holding his chin and thinking.
According to Erica, combined with the elemental riot she felt in the rift.
It is not difficult to see that Victor must challenge Disaster again.
Although the probability of Wind Calamity actively finding a human girl is very low, the probability is by no means zero.
Moreover, this is not an accident.
While in the Mage Capital, Victor also challenged the Calamity of the Wood.
Before that, Erica also had strange symptoms.
Her body is covered with flowers, which is not a disease, but a manifestation of the strong wood element.
Thinking of this, Kokot couldn't help but feel that Victor was outrageous.
The fact that this girl was brought directly from the north across the entire empire to the south by Wind Calamity shows that Victor must know something.
Maybe Victor did it on purpose.
Kokot was sure now.
This blond girl must have something to do with the disaster.
Kokot held his chin and looked at the weak Erica with squinted eyes.
At this moment, Aurelion stood up gracefully.
"I see."
She looked at Erica.
"Erica du Croy."
"First of all, I want to apologize to you. I misunderstood your relationship with the teacher."
"And I want to express my gratitude for the sacrifice you made. It was your appearance that saved tens of thousands of residents in the north."
Aurelion bowed slightly to Erica.
Erica was a little frightened. After all, the person who apologized and thanked her was the princess of the empire.
And she didn't even know what was going on.
She wanted to stand up and return the greeting, but her body was weak and her legs were weak, so she was unable to stand up.
But there was no need for her to return the favor, and Aurelion stood up again.
But this time, there was some subtle hostility in her eyes.
This made Erica stunned for a moment, a little unable to understand.
"The teacher will save you, which shows that you have an important position in his heart."
"But, I won't lose."
Aurelion looked at Erica seriously, and her tone was very confident:
"Not long after, the Royal Academy of Magic is about to open its doors, and by then, the academy will be recruiting new students."
"I will enroll then and join the teacher's class."
In Erica's stunned eyes, Aurelion raised her head proudly.
"I will prove it to the teacher."
"Who is he, the best student?"
After that, she turned around gracefully and left slowly.
"Congressman Yade, if the teacher comes back, please tell me."
"I'm going back to rest first."
Kokot lay on the clouds, yawned, his face sank into the clouds, and he said a low "hmm".
Gwen also looked at Erica with a somewhat tangled look, then followed Aurelion and escorted her away.
The eldest prince has prepared a residence for Aurelion.
As Aurelion's personal knight, Gwen must follow Aurelion and protect her.
As the two left, Erica still seemed a little dazed.
After all, she had just woken up, so she was really confused when she encountered such a situation.
She and Kokot were the only ones left in the huge room.
The former elf congressman still looked sleepy.
Seeing her sleepiness, Erica's mind also became heavy.
She wanted to go back to bed and lie down for a while.
When she reluctantly stood up, the sleepy Kokot suddenly said confused words:
"Well, you have to make good use of the power in your body."
"Perhaps, I will see the youngest third-level mage appear soon."
After listening to Kokot's words, Erica suddenly froze on the spot for a second.
The youngest...third-level mage?
This title, in the empire, was exclusive to Victor from the beginning.
He became a third-level 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 beating excitedly at this time.
In this case, can I narrow the gap between myself and Professor Victor?
"..."
No, not enough.
Erica thought of Victor's god-like power in the illusion at that time.
Even compared to the huge black dragon that appeared in the far north, the powerful power that Victor had shown with all his strength could not be overstated.
Moreover, they said so.
Professor Victor, however, saved himself from the hands of that monster...
At this moment, Erica clutched her chest.
The unsatisfied heart beat faster.
She didn't know exactly what it was because of what Kokot said that made her happy and excited.
Or because of some other reason.
Suddenly, the sleeping Kokot suddenly woke up as if he suddenly thought of something.
She raised her head and looked at Erica.
"Wait a minute, are you a student of the Royal Academy of Magic?"
Erica looked confused when she saw Kokot's somewhat too intense reaction.
But she nodded slowly.
"Well...that's right."
"That academy run by Rachel Celeste?"
"Mr. Rachel is indeed the dean of our college."
Kokot blinked, as if he couldn't accept it, and covered his head with an expression on his face that he was about to cry.
"Wait, that means...the opening of the college means that Victor will go back to work?"
Erica became even more confused, tilting her head and looking at Kokot who looked desperate.
"Shouldn't this be common sense?"
"..."
She put her head directly into the clouds, looking like she was giving up on herself.
Because Kokot suddenly thought of it, she promised Victor to become Victor's assistant.
But Victor only told her that the college would be on vacation for a few days, and then she would not have to work.
However, Victor never told her.
The academy will start!
"...How about I think of a way to blow up your academy."
"Please also please don't do this."
…
Victor stood on a high tower and looked into the distance.
The howling wind blew his black windbreaker covered with white lines.
This is the first front line of the monster rift, the city wall on the border of the empire.
He passed over the soldiers guarding the city and came to the tower.
Putting his hands in his pockets, he looked at the desolation in the distance.
After a long time, the sound of wings flapping the air echoed in Victor's ears.
A black crow slowly flew down from the gloomy sky. After hovering in the air for two weeks, it naturally flew to Victor's shoulder.
"I'm exhausted."
As soon as it landed on Victor's shoulder, Vega started to complain.
It had never thought that the monster rift was so far away from the first front line.
And if it wants to come here as an inconspicuous crow, it can only fly back by relying on its wings.
"But I got something good."
"what."
Victor didn't look at it, but just asked lightly.
Vega grinned.
"Do you want to grow wings or a tail or something? Trust me, my surgery will be very successful. It has never failed."
"Because I haven't tried it once."
A slight cool breeze blew around, unknowingly making the soldiers guarding the city tremble.
Obviously, this joke is not funny.
Even the soldiers who couldn't hear Vega's words felt a chill.
Victor said nothing, turned around and left with Vega.
The crow stood on his shoulder, grinning:
"Sometimes I really think you are quite humane."
Listening to Vega's complimentary words, Victor remained expressionless and walked down the stairs.
"How to say?"
"After all, you came here to pick me up."
The pace didn't stop, just slowed down slightly.
"I'm afraid some birds won't be able to find their way back if they fly away."
"You're right, but I'm not a crow."
A gust of wind roared across the sky, blowing out layers of clouds and waves in the dark and gloomy sky.
…
A few days later, news came from the empire.
The powerful monster that appeared in the northern border of the empire is a monster that is suspected of being a dragon.
It flew to the south of the empire and was killed by Victor Cravener, the fourth-level mage of the empire and the current member of the Mage Capital.
Easily, a crisis in the southern part of the empire was resolved.
In the entire incident, only an army led by the second prince perished.
The second prince was seriously injured and needed to recover from his injuries.
As for Victor Cravener, who was involved in the incident, he was currently in the south of the empire.
Here, there is big news related to Victor every day.
The demi-human team led by Princess Aurelion entered the monster rift and performed well among the adventurers with outstanding achievements.
He even defeated the leader monster that fell into the 30th layer of the abyss.
For a while, there was a lot of interest in the demi-human team.
The status of demi-humans within the empire is as low as slaves.
And the fact that the princess was able to cultivate such a very powerful team using demi-humans couldn't help but set off a wave of public opinion.
At the same time, the strongest Beast Guild in the southern part of the empire took the initiative to announce that it would officially join the Cravena family.
For a while, the Cravena family was once again pushed to the forefront of public opinion.
…
In the north, the Delin family.
The second prince lay quietly on the wooden bed, his body covered with bandages.
The crackling and burning stove nearby gave him a slight feeling of warmth.
He reluctantly leaned against the bed, holding a white paper filled with black words in his hand.
The monster seriously injured him, and he was forced to recuperate in the Delin family.
It is said that he is recuperating, but in fact, it is no different from being placed under house arrest under someone's control.
He read the newspaper, his eyes slowly moving over it.
When he saw Victor killing the black dragon, the second prince's pupils suddenly shrank.
It was like seeing something incredible.
"Hey, where are you reading the newspaper?"
A voice reached his ears.
The second prince followed the sound.
Kefla was leaning against the door, tilting her head and looking at him with a smile.
"Nothing is impossible, after all, that is my brother-in-law."
The second prince smiled softly, put down the newspaper in his hand, and then sighed:
"The eldest lady of the Delin family, how on earth are you going to let me go back to the royal capital?"
"This is simple."
Kefla squinted her eyes, with a hint of danger in her tone:
"Tell me, on your body,"
"Why do you have the aura of the devil?"
