It has already been three weeks since the attack occurred on school grounds and the Emperor's Consistory immediately demanded stronger and strict security in the Academy.

While the twins set off on a journey to the mountain Callista spoke about, the campus was restored with both architecture and magic.

Currently, Callista just finished her Triology Class and was headed to the cafeteria to have her snack when someone called her name from the hallway.

"Callista" she looked to see both Anastasia and Ignis walking towards her "I thought you were busy from all the incidents this month?" she asked making Anastasia sigh.

"We are but Headmaster Regan arrived this morning from a meeting in the South and demanded to talk to you so we were told to get you to the office," Anastasia explained.

"He wants to talk to me?" Callista asked and tilted her head "Why would he?" she added "It's possibly because of the attack three weeks ago. I heard he had talked with the twins when he heard about the news and they may have told him about you." Anastasia said.

"You might be asked some questions regarding that issue," Ignis said so Callista smiled "Okay, take me to the office then," she said.

They went to the highest floor in the Academy where you usually see the Faculty Office and storage rooms so students don't usually come there.

Callista stared as the big brown doubled doors were opened by the two and she was welcomed by a man behind the desk in the big room who had a grim look.

"This is Callista Alberts, Headmaster" Anastasia introduced as Regan specifically stared at Callista who stared blankly in return "Callista Alberts" her name rolled down his tongue as he looked at her with coldness.

"You've put my name as your guardian in your student information form, caused a scene with the Hero's daughter on your first day, and now I'm hearing that you were involved in the fight three weeks ago. Just how many headaches are you trying to give me?" Regan's expression drastically changed the same Anastasia's face did.

Every word that escaped Regan's mouth added to the shock and disbelief Anastasia's body couldn't handle.

"That's not how you greet people that you haven't seen in years" Callista said who had a teasing smile on her face.

"Do you expect me to greet you if this is how you welcome me after two years?" he complained and pinched the bridge of his nose from the upcoming headache.

"If that old woman didn't treat you as her granddaughter I would've thrown you out the moment I saw you in the entrance exam." he scowled before looking at Anastasia.

"I'm sorry that I let you see something like this, Princess" he apologetically said "God forbids to meet someone like that little pest." he then glared at Callista who had a proud look on her face so Anastasia slowly shook her head "Its okay, Headmaster.." she smiles and glanced at Callista.

"You know Callista? You're her guardian?" she asked, hesitantly "You must be confused on what's happening now but Callista is my Master's grandchild." Regan explained and the moment Anastasia heard this is like a bomb exploding.

"M-Master? The one who taught you magic?" she asked so Regan nodded "That's right. I was in the West when my Master died and I was about to visit Callista when she came to the Academy herself to get enrolled. It's not like I could do anything especially if she reached all of the qualifications needed." he sighed in defeat.

"I'm sorry to ask this Headmaster, so the Headmaster is currently Callista's guardian for the whole year and will be paying all of her expenses?" Ignis asked when Anastasia was too shocked to speak.

"Most likely" Regan responded as Callista nodded with a triumph smile "Don't smile as if you've done an achievement!" Regan scolded before sighing.

"The both of you may leave. I would like to talk to Miss Alberts in private." he said "Yes, Headmaster" Ignis answered and pulled Anastasia with him who was still in a daze.

Regan Chancellor was one of the most powerful magician in their generation who's in par with the youngest Grand Mage, so when she heard that the person who taught one of the Empire's strongest magician is related to Callista, most of all is her Granddaughter, was a big shock to Anastasia.

When Callista heard the door closed, she looked at Regan straight in the eye "So what do you want to talk about? You're not the kind of person to just call someone here." she said and crossed her arms.

"You're right" he said and lighted a cigarette "Geez, how rude. You know that you shouldn't smoke in front of a student right?" she said and fanned the smoke away with her hand.

"The audacity of this girl. That old woman smokes almost every day and yet you don't complain" he huffed.

"She's different" she said with a shrug "Tell me, why are you here?" he asked "I'm here to study, of course. Why would I attend the Academy if it weren't for that?" she stated the obvious and rolled her eyes.

"Study for what? I know the things you can do. You were so exceptional that even the Master mentioned you with high regards." Regan scoffed.

"Oh? Are you getting jealous because I stole her from you?" she teased so he glared at her "Of course not, you brat" he said and puffed.

"What's the use of you studying if you're more knowledgeable than the Professors here?" he asked making Callista make a villainous smile.

"Well, you're right.." she said before softly chuckling "But that's a secret I should only know, doesn't it?" she said "If that's all you got to say then I'm leaving now." Callista said and didn't even wait for his answer as she left the office.

Regan looked out of the big windows that touched the floor to the ceiling with a shake of his head. A child that was found by his Master and accepted, cared for and loved as if she was family even though she had unknown origins.

That old woman, he's sure that she's the reason why Callista is attending the Academy with an excuse like it's her dying wish or some shit.

"Take care of that child, Regan. She had experienced hardships at such a young age."

"Sigh. What should I do with that girl, Master Lea?" he asked to nobody when he remembered her words.
