Other than the princess being the King's spy, there was nothing noteworthy of her.@@@@ She didn't have talent in magic and thus, the number of her guards. 'Though, they share the same dislike of her as we all do'. Raph stared at their backs as they walked away, taking a mental note of the current affairs of the Academy. 'Princess Manita is back'. He thought as he turned around to walk away. **** Time continued to tick away as the series of Class events had commenced until it was nearly the period of closing. Most visitors had prepared to return back to the village, visitors which mostly consisted of students and children that is. It was the first day, so not many came, but the numbers were still quite appealing. If it were a social buzz, then the Principal would make thousands of gold coins in just the first week. Since closing time was on the verge of occurring, many had been forced to return unsatisfied. Especially those who arrived with goals in mind. While they found their way back to the Portal Gate and to their respective towns, Raph was busy, somewhere else. The Staff Building, unlike usual, had been full. This was a rare occurrence, but classes didn't hold during the festivals so it made sense to find them all here. Raph was currently seated in front of Professor Cadwin's desk, though the man seemed absent for some reason. He did not mind at first, but after the constant nuisance from the other staff members, he had to rethink his stance. Just then, as he was lost in thoughts while staring at the demonic bones in the man's cubicle, the door was whipped open. He flinched for a moment, uncertainty dawning at him as he turned around. "Oh? Miss Katherin?" The haughty, fiery woman puffed out a sigh as their gazes met. She closed the door behind her, closing off the peeking glances of some others and walked towards the man's desk. "You've got some nerve coming here. What makes you think you can come into the office of a lecturer whenever you want?" Read exclusive adventures at My Virtual Library Empire She asked as she turned to the office chair and took a seat, folding her hands as she fixed her gaze on him. "Um, I actually just had something to report..." Raph explained, scratching the back of his hair at the same time. "It shouldn't be an issue, really. Professor Cadwin is our Club's Overseer". They remained silent for a moment after his response, her gaze narrowing down at his. "You told the front desk Lecturers that you wished to report something. What was it?" Raph raised a brow. "I wonder how that concerns you, Miss Katherin?" "It's professor to you" "Hah.....Professor Katherin, I'm sorry but I'll just have to tell him straight up". Raph said. "You never know if it might leak somewhere after all". In the end, he decided to report to the higher-ups of his findings, though he had to take precautions. There was no telling if Cadwin was one of them anyway, so this was technically killing two birds with one stone. "I see"–" Katherin?" The familiar voice of Cadwin pierced through the room as they turned around in unison. He thought before finding his way out of the Staff Room. As he did so, a few cubicles away from Cadwin was Professor Katherin's office. She was seated on her office chair, legs crossed and arms placed on the table as she stared at a glowing orb on her desk. Standing next to her was Lecturer Wisdom, a questionable stare on his expression as he stared at the orb as well. The glowing orb seemed to have dimed back to oblivion when she turned towards him. "It's a good thing I installed a mana orb in his office in that short time, huh?" Wisdom sighed. "How you did it is beyond me, Miss Katherin". The woman chuckled excitedly as she tapped the orb. "I think we learnt from last time that Cadwin isn't on the same page as us when it comes to matters of the Great families and the system users". She said, her gaze glowing dark. "But two suspicious individuals with fake status screens?" "I'm only assuming, Miss Katherin but it could be them" Katherin sighed, knowing fully well what he meant by 'them' A few weeks before this moment, they had gotten a letter from their supporters. Well, a supporter, the Red Peacemakers. They were a shady bunch, yes, but their goals aligned with those of the System Uprisers. Though they didn't want world domination, they did, however, want System User Liberation...or so they call it. "If your assumption is correct then two Executive members of the Red Peacemakers were nearly found out by Raffaelo Jun" "It's not just that, though; if you ask me, it seems like Cadwin is ignoring the disparity of the situation". "Or, he doesn't wish to raise an alarm, and he would take it to the Principal as he has always done". A moment of silence ensued in the room, a sigh escaping Katherins lips as she looked up at him. "How is the search for the system heroes?" Wisdom raised a brow. "Well, we've found a few of them. The Sword Hero, Javier Wright, the Water Hero, Ruffia Jones and the Magma Hero, Jay Arkfield". Katherin turned away. "On the letter sent by the Red Peacemakers, there was a notice?" "Yes, the Flame Hero, Cruz Dorion, though his whereabouts are currently unknown and the Physic Hero, Ziza Ruggard, though her stance is far different from ours". "Agreed...." Katherin sighed, tilting her head on her chair as she closed her eyes for a moment. "Do we have to go through with this?" Wisdom looked away, a groan escaping his lips. "It was the Red Peacemakers' instructions, and with their help, we found two of them....even though it took us nearly ten years just to find three". The system uprisers had deep roots within the academy, and their search for the system heroes had been a tall dream until now. "...find the system heroes, prepare them for the advent of the Devil King and take control of the Kingdom afterwards...." She muttered as if taking a mental note. A moment of silence ensued afterwards until she suddenly sprung up from her seat. "Ensure our plans are carried out to a tee, we will give the Red Peacemakers the dead bodies of as many Non-system users as possible". A grin spread across Wisdom's face as he walked towards the door. "As you wish, Cult Leader".
