"Lady Headmaster, it's about to begin. Everyone is already waiting for you." The small grown man, who normally organizes my staff, my timetable and actually everything that need's to be taken care of, yells at me.

Again...

How troublesome has it become, since I accepted the post as Headmaster of this academy. Every day the same lame paperwork, not that I personally do that stuff. But it's already annoying to look at.

Those disgusting piles of paper.

“What is it this time Francois?” I avert my gaze from my book

“Have you already forgotten? Whatever, the entrance ceremony is about to start. This year you need to hold the opening speech. There are two official members of the high council present.”

That little annoying dwarf Francois loves it to see how I actually need to do some real work...

Not that he actually is a dwarf, no he's just so small that I always wonder how such a small creature can have so much compromised annoyance within him.

“Already, I thought this ceremony would be in two months. Just cancel the whole thing and set up a new appointment. I am busy with my book here.” Back to my book~

“Lady Headmaster! I need to insist you to take part this time, now! Otherwise I fear, will you definitely lose your position as Headmaster of this academy and you surely know what that means!”

By the gods, every time he really wants me to do something he comes up, threatening me with losing my job.

I admit, that would be rather unpleasant. If I am to lose this job now, I will be forced to join THEM again.

I feel a cold running down my spine.

“Ok, Ok. Just give me a few hours and I'll come." At least let me finish my book.

“N.O.T possible! Either you do your duty now or I'll have to report you.” I always forget that Francois was send by THEM to watch over me, not even a little peace for me.

“Alright, let's go. Time for the yearly summer festival.” I stretch myself and bind my long and golden hair into a ponytail.

“No Lady Headmaster, it's the entrance ceremony!” He has always something to bicker about...

“Yeah yeah whatever.” I take my Headmaster robe, at least my own design. Who would've wanted to wear an old fashioned gray robe with golden stripes....

Pah, not with me.

My robe is a more modern considerate, top free one piece, which only covers my perfectly shaped twins and ends into a long blue cape.

“Where is it this time?” The dwarf always changes the location for such events. Sometimes I think he does that only to annoy me even more.

“Down on the great plaza, in front of our beloved academies botanic building.” He ads

“So straightly spoken, directly underneath my office tower?” At least this time he seemed to be a little considerate.

“Practically, yes.” A question mark appears on his face

I walk calmly to one of my windows, open said one and with an elegant jump, I leave my office.

Straight downwards, 1200 meters into the deep.

What a nice breeze, maybe it's not too bad outside.

Oh, I take that back. As I come closer to the ground I see one of many reasons to avoid outside.

“People... And so many...” I back flip in the air and change my falling position into a straight aimed stance.

“Look! Is that a person?” Someone spotted me and yells

“It's a women!? Oh my gods, someone needs to help her!” A man in his middle ages screams.

Yeah, yeah always avert the actual duty to someone else... why not helping yourself instead?

Kekeke, humans... silly creatures.

“Hurry catch.........her!?” A slight ~thud~ and I land in a magnificent pose, right in front of that man.

“Hush.” I go pass him and with a small puff, he staggers and falls.

Much to my bemusement actually.

I chuckle and look out for the podium.

As suddenly a hand grabs my shoulder. I turn around to see which impudent fellow has laid hand on me.

This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

“Who dares... Oh I am sorry Alwaria, hehe who would've thought that someone like you would appear here.” I blankly stare into the massive women before me

“Mhmp, Yes who would've thought. As I see you still tend to those theatricality acts, I've always thought that is one of many bad habits you harbor.” Alwaria Singwoo, one of the least pleasant persons I could've met... why in all means is she here?

“And as I see you still lack the gist of fashion, still wearing this old silken carpet of yours. So what's brought you here today?” Now that she's actually left her cramped office, which she normally so loves, I am a bit interested.

“Ha, Better wearing a carpet than walking around as a whore. Nothing much, it's just a plain interest of mine, which has brought me here today.” That is obviously a lie... Never would that bitch leave her office and even more less for such a crowded event. If there is one person who hates human crowds more than me, it would definitely be her.

Oh, just you wait Alwaria, I will find out what you are here for.

“Is that so? Well it was nice to chitchat with you, unfortunately I need to attend to other matters now. Hopefully you can enjoy this event, The food area is right ahead.” I can smell the various foods from here, I bet that's why she's here.

“Tsk, as always a pleasure.” She turns around and disperses in the masses as a black shadow. Mostly unseen and unnoticed.

A useful skill for someone with her body sizes.

Well, where is this podium.

“Lady Headmaster! There you are, come on now. Everyone is waiting.” And there I thought I would have some peace, but no dwarf at duty is back.

“Yes Francois, lead the way.” I sigh, there is nothing I can do.

“Great, then follow me.” He taps away, always keeping an eye on me that I won't run from him.

What a notorious bastard...

We reach the podium

“As always this thing is build as an entire arena, somehow every time when I look down from here, I imagine some strong body build man fighting the wild fauna. He he, eat up kitty kitty...” Oops I said that aloud, the scenery around me tells me that the damn mic was already activated.

Lots and lots of people stare at me, I think they are not pleased by what I said.

“Ähem, well as it may be, please welcome our dear Lady Headmaster Pheles. As she will now speak the opening speech.” Francois gives his best so that his voice sounds loud and clear

My turn I guess. I take the mic and start: “ Welcome, as every year. Have a nice day!” I put the mic back and intend to leave.

“cough, cough, not so fast Lady Headmaster. Haven't you forgotten plenty of things? I insist that you do this correctly.” gnarsh, I grind my teeth together.

I take the mic back and start anew. “ Well, ladies and gentlemen I welcome you here at Scorpia's magic academies forty somethings entrance exam. Whereas the participants will fight each other to gain the rights to study here with us. May the exam begin.”

“Satisfied?” I turn to Francois, who now looks much more relaxed and bright moody.

“Mhh, yes. Not perfect but I'll let it pass.” He smirks at me and nods.

“Good, then if you excuse me, I am back in my office.” Ahh freedom, this is the best

“No, I don't think so. You have to attend the whole session. That's one of your own rules and remember you are to be a good role model for our students.”

Dwarf! Don't go too far you... you.... I nearly want to ignore him and take my leave...

But a glance at one of the VIP seats, tells me that it may be interesting to stay.

With a flash I teleport towards the observer tribune's VIP seats.

And provocatively seat myself next to a certain carpet women.

“Oh hello Alwaria, long time no see.” I happily chirp in her ear

“Mjeah, hello.” Haha it seems my teasing has taken effect

“So you actually came here to observe this spectacle huh? How rare for you.” I keep teasing her

“The same goes for you, Miss irresponsible number one.” She don't even spares me a glance

“Hah, you might even be right. So won't you still not tell me what brought you here?” In the background are some numbers called.

Suddenly Alwaria tenses up.

What was that just now? I tilt my head and inspect her closer. Mhh she's only paying attention onto the field.

Don't tell me she's interested in one of the participants...

I avert my gaze onto the arena field.

“Hooo, who's that sweet kid over there. Hey Francois!” I lock onto a cute little girl, who's currently stepping into the arena.

Francois comes over to this place and looks, rarely for him, strongly surprised.

“Yes Lady Headmaster? You have called?” I can literally see the confusion in his eyes, but why blame him. I nearly never call for him.

“Who's that cute girl over there? Is she even allowed into this exam? If I remember correctly only children of the age of ten years are allowed to participate.” I need to let this sound as responsible as possible, otherwise Francois will again pull one of his thick headed responses.

“Inde.... WAIT you have noticed something important about a rule? And it's even considering you enough to call for me? I smell something fishy!” Shiet, this damn dwarf is sharper than I thought

“Ehehe, no actually I am interested in that small girl. As far as I can see she has astonishing potential. And her aura is nearly lethal.” Once Francois has something he's concerned with it's best to tell him the truth.

“Haaah, you are just incorrigible. No, this girl has an allowance from vice Headmaster Schild. As far as I know her name is Cleo Vastgard and she's promised to become Schild's disciple.”

“Aha, well consider to call for Schild after this match. I need to discuss something with him.” I gesture Francois away with rude swishes of my hand and focus on the arriving battle.

“Haah, NO. You will not take her as your disciple. I can't allow someone as irresponsible as you to corrupt such a young soul.” Francois is scary, he can read my mind like an open book.

“Hoh, what a strange fireball that girl has cast there.” Suddenly Alwaria pulls my attention back onto the arena and away from Francois.

Mhh indeed, whats with the unnatural high mana flow. “This is no fireball.” I exclaim surprised.

“Ha? What is it then? Such a young girl shouldn't know something stronger.” Alwaria asnwers dryly

Well, she's right... probably just a bad control of her mana. I observe further.

What a mean boy, to laugh at a girl and even at a girl her age. “Poor little cutie, that fireball of yours was a smooth failure.” I emphatically say

maybe I can sneak from Francois after the battle and cuddle that girl comforting her.. Ehehe I drift forth into my own perve..... imagination

“Mhh, no this is no fireball AND IT'S NO FAILURE! Pheles! You need to stop that girl!” Alwaria strays in her thoughts as she suddenly seems to have realized something.

“OH NO! Young girl, stop that spell!! IMMEDIATELY!” Alwaria freaks out, that's a rare sight.

Yep now I see. That spell is a rotating fire-star. “Don't worry Alwaria, such a young girl should not have the mana to ~BOOM!~ OK I take back what I just said this situation is bad.”

“Pheles, gods dammit do something or the both of them will die!” Alwaria nearly slaps me

“Ok, Ok. Only for the girl! I don't care about the boy, if you want him alive go move your own ass.”

I jump up and spurt through the masses of people below us, lots of horrified expressions come across my vision. And I feel a very uncomfortable heat blowing in my face.

Where by all gods has this girl taken her mana from. The rotating firestar should at least use a few thousands of mana to only start...not speaking of the continence upholding that massive thing.

I jump higher accelerate myself with my wind magic and start coming down at max speed.

“O Goddess of the ocean, lend me your strength, defy your enemy, surpass this fire and lead us back to your calm currents!” The blue light forms around my hands and the blessing of the water godsnake is completed.

With rapid speed I collide with the nasty magmaball. “This thing is densely and much stronger than I thought? How much mana has gone into this sun...” I yell out in surprise.

Maybe this will be not as easy as I thought and I need to hurry. It seems it's still getting stronger.

“Water godsnake sword!” Ade my mana.

I use one of my powerful spells and a long blue sword appears in my right hand, with a simple but effective uppercut I glade through the outer shell of the fire sun and disperse it's energy.

There she is! And she seems to be alive, hehe. Just come with me for a while..

I take the young girl, who has lost her consciousness on my back and teleport away. Her skin feels very cool and smooth, sooo nicee...

The moment I teleport, I see the immense out-shaped figure of a black carpeted women, who engulfs a very roasted body inside her darkness. It seems the boy is barely alive as well.

Well for now I will take you my sweety and will personally treat your wounds.
