After the event in the canteen, I went to my bed and slept. And when It was morning, I was greeted by Emilia, Vertical Rolls, and the rest. I became puzzled why they had gathered in front of my room. So I tilted my head and asked Emilia.

“Is there something going on?”

Emilia took a step forward and made a mana screen in front of me.

“Just this morning, George-sensei had told me that the Principal and the rest of the faculty have woken up.”

George-sensei, our sword fighting instructor, was with us when we ate in the sky. After which, he decided to descend to the ground and look after the unconscious teachers. I was quite surprised that Emilia had kept in contact with him.

“Is that so? Then what does that have to do with us? Doesn’t he only care about the magic students?”

Emilia spat out a sigh and replied to me with a tired face.

“Right now, he wants all the students to gather near the fields of our school building. He’s including us, general students.”

“That’s rare…. Then, what does that have to do with the seven of you gathering in front of my room?”

“It’s because the students won’t descend into the field unless you lead them.”

“…. Can we send a proxy?”

“No, Lumina-sama. According to George-sensei, the Principal wants all the primary level general students to gather.”

I reluctantly nodded to Emilia and took a book, which I was reading since yesterday, from my room. I then walked to the canteen, along with the seven of them, and ate my breakfast. Surprisingly, almost all of the students have already started eating.

“They’re quite early.”

I made an offhanded remark as I surveyed the canteen.

Vertical Rolls walked up to my side and said:

“Well, last night was really cold. So we all had a hard time to sleep.”

“Really? Well, I was using magic to warm my room, so I didn’t really feel that it was cold though.”

“I wish I was as good at controlling magic as you, Lumina-sama. If I was, then I would’ve also made my room warm.”

I made a wry smile and replied:

“Well, we’ve been practicing this magic for over a year now. So it’s expected that you guys aren’t that skilled yet.”

“Then I’ll train even more so that I can be useful to you, Lumina-sama.”

She made a big smile as the seven of us, including me, sat on one of the tables in the canteen. Emilia, like last night, went to the kitchen and prepared the food along with six other servants.

I made a small mana screen that projected what was happening.

“Hmmm… so they were able to eat huh.”

Mary who sat beside Vertical Rolls, who sat opposite to me, said:

“Emilia said that according to George-sensei, the magic students flew towards the junior level general student’s dormitory and took their food.”

“…”

“Also, the servants that were with them, hijacked their canteen and, as a result, the junior level general students still haven’t eaten any breakfast.”

Hunger really brings out the worst in people huh. Who knew that they’d invade a dormitory? Isn’t that dormitory quite far from ours? If I recall, it was directly opposite to ours and you’d had to walk for almost an hour just to reach that place.

Since that topic was quite heavy, I decided to change it to a lighter one. We talked about how to apply normal magic to null element magic and how to strengthen them. We even talked about its weaknesses. Emilia arrived a bit later with the food. We then started eating breakfast while we continued to talk.

After about 30 minutes, all of us had finished eating and were right now packing our things.

The reason why we were doing this was because we wouldn’t be able to maintain our rooms once we descend to the ground. The maximum range we could control and manipulate null element magic was 60 meters. More than that, it would disperse and disappear by itself.

After a while, I walked outside and waited for Emilia and the rest to finish packing their things. When all of us had gathered, I then started descending towards the field. It felt really embarrassing to walk in the front of almost 200 students. However, I didn’t really have a choice in this matter. It’s because I was their master and they were my servants. And it was proper for the master to walk while being followed by a servant.

I did my best to hide my embarrassment and walk coolly at the front.

The place I decided to land was in the middle of a forest behind our school building. Though I had no intention to hide this magic from the magic students, but descending from the sky with 200 students behind was just too much.

“There they are!”

A magic student who spotted us exiting the forest shouted while pointing at us. His schoolmates all turned their heads to ours and glared at us with hostility. The general students behind me became pale and started cowering. As for me, I acted as if it didn’t bother me and just stood in front of them with Emilia and the rest beside me. But deep inside of me, I wanted to run away and go back to the sky.

(This is the reason why I wanted to send a proxy!)

A man who looked to be in his early 20s stood in front of us with a frown. He had short blond hair and blue eyes. He was wearing expensive clothes and had a very haughty atmosphere. Behind him, were the Faculty of the magic students and George-sensei.

Stolen story; please report.

Although I had forgotten what he looked like and what his name in the game was. But, judging from the atmosphere he had and from the teachers that stood behind him, I could instantly tell that he was the principal.

“Do you know why I let you stand before me? Even though all of you are just a bunch of useless people?”

The principal started talking to us without even introducing his name. Though I felt that Emilia knew who he was, it wouldn’t have hurt him to introduce himself to us.

“No.”

I replied to him with a deep frown.

“All of you really are useless! Then let me enlighten you then. All of you are charged with suspicion for instigating conflict and destroying the school.”

My expression became shocked for a second before it changed to one with that expressed anger.

“Tell me why then?”

The principal snorted to me before he answered:

“You still have to ask? There are eye witness reports that Eclara had been in contact with the familiar of Michael. According to them, Eclara was your servant and she was only acting on behalf of your orders. From here, it’s quite easy to say that it was you who ordered Eclara to tempt Michael’s familiar to fight with Carlos-sama in order to sow the seeds of conflict to those who felt dissatisfied with the rule of the four families.”

I narrowed my eyes as I listened to him. My fear of the gazes that the magic students gave me disappeared as I tried my best to stop myself from bursting out from anger.

“Those are all false charges! Lumina-sama only ordered Eclara to observe him! She never said anything about sowing the seeds of conflict!”

Vertical Rolls stepped forward and objected the Principal’s reasoning.

“You’re denying what the reports of the witnesses? Do you have the evidence to prove your claim?”

“We do! Eclara could testify for Lumina-sama!”

“That’s useless. She may have ordered her to tell us nothing but lies just to save herself.”

A commotion spread among the general students as Vertical Rolls did her best to deny the Principal. It seems like blood had risen to her head, because she didn’t notice that the Principal wouldn’t accept any our reasoning. It seemed like he was hell-bent on pressing the charges against me.

“Eclara didn’t tempt me nor did she ever do things that would cause conflict to the school!”

A loud voice suddenly rang from the magic student’s side. The magic students then separated like the red sea in the bible and revealed Shin, Eclara, and Michael.

The Principal didn’t hide his frown as he looked at Shin.

“It was all Carlos’ fault! He wanted to make Eclara into his servant, however because Eclara already had a new master, she refused his offer. Because of that, Carlos became hostile to Eclara and attacked her!”

“Stop lying!”

Carlos who came out of nowhere refuted Shin. He walked towards the Principal with Vertical Rolls twin sisters in tow.

“Gabriel-sama, that person is only lying. Sure I attacked her but there was a reason for that! She provoked me and even insulted my family! So my reasons for attacking her are justified!”

(So the Principal’s name was Gabriel? Well, once I leave this place, I’m pretty sure I’ll forget it though. So knowing his name isn’t that important.)

“You’re the one who’s lying! You bastard!”

Shin glared at Carlos with eyes full of hostility. Carlos ignored Shin and continued to talk.

“You already know what had happened after that Gabriel-sama.”

The Principal nodded to Carlos-sama and pondered for a while. First he looked at us then looked at him before a large smile surfaced on his face.

“Then, let’s host a magical battle between Eclara’s master and you Carlos-sama.”

Carlos-sama widened his eyes for a moment and made a ferocious grin on his face.

“The one who wins this battle will be declared innocent while the one who loses shall face punishment.”

“We’re just general students Gabriel-sama! We can’t even use magic! How do you expect us to win!?”

I became surprised when Emilia suddenly started shouting beside me. I stared at her for a while and the moment I met her gaze, I perceived that she was planning something. I nodded to Emilia and also acted like her.

“She’s right!”

The principal thought for a while before he shook his head.

“No. A magical battle must occur to prove who’s innocent. I’ll let you choose five people on your side to fight against Carlos-sama and his followers.”

“No way…”

“How can this be!”

“Lumina-sama, please let me stand in place of you!”

While Emilia and I acted, it seemed like Mary had noticed us and decided to join our little charade.

As for Eclara, Shin, and Michael, the three of them only stared at us with doubt in their eyes. It seemed like they had understood that we were only acting and because of that, they only silently stared at us and observed what was happening.

In Carlos-sama’s case, a confident smile floated on his face as he watched us despair (LOL) as the Principal had the students back away.
