King of Alkali's POV

I'm sitting on my throne listening to my subjects debating about trade policies, but was interrupted by a soldier barging into the room.

"Important news your majesty!" He shouts while kneeling before me.

"An army of dark crusaders approaches from the north! While an army of holy crusaders approaches from the south! Lastly the elves are emerging from the west forest!" He informs.

Everyone in the room including me were startled by what we just heard.

The ministers questions the soldier for more detail well I start to make calculation and plans for the worst case scenario, which is all three forces are here to invade us.

"What?!!" Shout Minister A

"Is this true?" Ask Minister B

"Yes, the report comes directly from our spy." Said the soldier.

"What's the matter?" I inquire.

"Well sire according to our spies the holy church of light don't seem to be here to help us with the demon's invasion." Said the Minister C

He went on to explain further that our spies reported the pope has been antagonizing us and spreading propaganda, saying things like we're blasphemer and demon sympathizers.

"What about the holy church in our country, what stance do they take on this?" I ask.

"The archbishops all claim the goddess appeared in their dream and told them of the pope's betrayal that he is just using the holy church for his own gain." the soldier answer.

If that's the case dealing with the holy church is easy, but the demons and the elves are going to be a problem.

Headmaster POV

I am Escovack the strongest Mage in this continent and one of the legendary 5 Magi. Magi are title given to the top 5 strongest magician in this continent, with me being number 1, the dark pope number 2, the holy pope number 3, the high elf king number 4, and the 5th really isn't as famous as the rest of us.

I am also the founder and headmaster of Orion Academy. One of my student and daughter of my childhood friend enrolled in here a 5 years ago and has now become my number one disciple. Recently she had summon a powerful being from another world, sensing his immense power I had tried to be as polite and welcoming as possible but he does one ridiculous thing after another.

Yesterday he was about to leave and came to bid goodbye to me but when he heard the heroes were coming to attend this school he asked me to let him teach the heroes.

At first I was suspicious and he kept bribing me with items like the "Lacrima"? I think that what it's call, and an extremely powerful wand. However I kept rejecting his request, because I had a bad feeling about it. Finally he offered me a divine staff and I'm ashamed to admit it but I lost myself to desperation and greed the moment I saw it.

This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.

I did not think through what it means to have the divine staff and now this country I call home is being threaten because of me.

I'll explain what happen, after I got a hold of a divine staff one of my subordinate sold me out to the empire and I been constantly dealing with thieves and assassins ever since.

And since they had not made any progress with such approach they've decided to pressure Alkali Kingdom economically.

I'm trying my best to find the traitor among the staff but there has been no trace of evidence that any of them betrayed me.

I fired a ball of red light across the my which exploded in mid air. A sound of something hitting against the could be heard right after the explosion, and a chunk of someone's body appeared after that. It isn't gory like you might be thinking, instead the other part is just invisible. It seems the person was using a cloak of invisibility that slipped off after being send flying by the impact of the explosion.

"Sigh" another one of the empires explosion it seems. Well no matter I shall deal with this matter myself before this country suffers for my greed.

"Headmaster!" I heard the familiar voice of a woman I've known for a long time. A blonde women in her late 20s barge into my room.

"Headmaster! it's terrible the most of the student in S-class has been killed!" Yelled the women.

"WHAT?!!!!"

I immediately rush out of the office and to class S. When I got to the door I slammed it open only to see the bloody corpses and chunks of body parts littered on the floor. The scene was horrifying to look at, moment later the S-Class who were lucky enough to have been absence came rushing. Those people include my disciple Farina, Elfina the timid girl, Beatrice the White Mage, and Theffania the female knight from the empire, and that Alma character in his disguise.

We stepped into the classroom to check for survivors luckily five survive, Sri Korrapati, Sundara, Michael, Lan Fang, and Katherine. The rest are all dead, Alma moved in and took out what appears to be an hour glass and flip so the sand would start to slip down to the empty side. 

To our surprise the disfigured member of the surviving heroes were being reverse as if time itself is moving backwards for them.

"Unfortunately it can't bring the dead back to life but as long as one still had life in them any injury no matter how bad can be reverse." He explains.

This guy keeps pulling out one ridicules thing after another, just who in the world is he? 

While the others are still stunned I quickly call for people to take the surviving heroes to the nursery and to clean up the mess in the class room.

"Escovack!" This time it's the voice of man whom I'm familiar with, the kingdoms strongest worrier and general of Alkali Kingdom's army.

" Hello Luke what is so important that you yourself would come here." I ask.

"It's really bad news Escovack, the kingdom is being invaded by The Holy Church, The Church Of Darkness, and the Elven Kingdom at the same time!" He shouts.

My Mind:........................... FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
