The inauguration ceremony of the Arcuz Grand Academy had ended before lunchtime, and the guests returned to their respective rooms. The students and teachers of the academy resumed their study activities except for the students who participated in the friendly match.
Prince Ozkar and the three other students who participated in the friendly match against the Piqmentia Grand Academy were gathered in the principal's office. Princess Evelyn was not among them because she was still unconscious until recently. Apart from the four students, Jourelio was also there to accompany them.
Jourelio gathered Prince Ozkar and the other three students in the principal's office because Raphael wanted to tell them something. Raphael sat on a chair and faced the four students head-on.
"You must be wondering why I gathered you here. First of all, I want to thank you for your hard work in winning the friendly match against Piqmentia Grand Academy." Raphael smiled refreshingly and looked one after another at the students in front of him.
Raphael's gaze stopped for a while at Azalia, who was standing to the right of Princess Seira. But none of them noticed because Raphael was doing it secretly.
"You don't need to thank me, principal. We have to fight for the good name of the academy. Besides, I also want to see how strong the heroes and students of the human academy are. But I'm disappointed that their strength is mediocre." Prince Ozkar replied proudly.
Even though Prince Ozkar answered formally, Princess Seira and the others could hear the familiar tone in his words. But after considering the Beast Kingdom that had found Raphael in his deep slumber, they could understand that.
Moreover, King Regulus and Raphael's relationship was excellent. King Regulus seemed to trust Raphael. This can be seen in King Regulus's recommendation to make Raphael the principal of the Arcuz Grand Academy and willing to take responsibility for what he does in the future.
(What's mediocre? You even had a hard time fighting your opponent and had to use beastification!)
Prince Viron sneered in his heart after hearing Prince Ozkar's words. If he weren't in the principal's office, he would probably have said it directly to Prince Ozkar.
"Good! As expected of Regulus's son. I will give three days of vacation to recuperate for the students participating in this match. Besides, I will also give each of you the Miracle Liquid, regardless of whether you win or lose the match." Raphael smiled with satisfaction and gave the four students rewards.
Princess Seira and Prince Viron put on confused faces because they didn't know what Miracle Liquid was. On the other hand, Prince Ozkar looked very excited because he knew the benefits of Raphael's reward very well. Jourelio also knew that, and he was envious of the four students.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAzalia frowned upon hearing the reward Raphael had given them. She knew far more than Prince Ozkar and Jourelio because the Miracle Liquid came from the divine realm. Azalia knew the use of the liquid as well as its side effects.
"What is Miracle Liquid?" Princess Seira raised her hand and asked.
p
Raphael looked unconcerned when he saw Prince Ozkar suddenly take his place to explain to the confused Prince Viron and Princess Seira. Instead, he was happy that he didn't have to bother explaining to them.
"Does such a panacea exist!? In other words, if you are currently a senior mage, you can become a Magic master or perhaps a Magic Grandmaster after drinking that liquid?" Prince Viron asked in a trembling voice. He couldn't believe that such an amazing liquid was real.
"Of course, such medicine exists, and I will give it as a reward." Raphael answered Prince Viron's doubts.
After hearing Raphael's answer, the students became excited, and only Azalia wore a gloomy face. She had that expression on her face because she knew the miracle liquid had fatal side effects. Even the people of the various races in the divine realm did not dare to use it carelessly.
Miracle liquids could indeed increase one or two levels of one's strength. The perceived benefits of drinking the liquid were the same as consuming Leviathan's flesh but with terrible side effects.
Miracle liquid works by forcibly unlocking the potential in the body. But in exchange, users have to be willing to lose their lifespan of 25 to 30 years depending on the number of liquids they drink. So if they drink two to three glasses, their lifespan can be reduced by almost 100 years.
Moreover, the higher one's level of strength was, the more difficult it would be to increase it with miracle liquid. If they forced themselves to drink the miracle liquid when their power was at the Magic King of Sword King level, they would receive minimal benefits and maximum side effects.
Azalia knew all about it but remained silent and did not tell them. She still didn't know if Raphael had known her identity as a divine race, but she could be sure that Raphael already knew that she was the one who tried to sneak into his office.
Raphael took out five small bottles filled with liquid that emitted a golden light and placed them on the table. Then he snapped his fingers, and the four bottles flew at each of the students while the last bottle flew towards Jourelio.
Jourelio and the three students took the bottle enthusiastically and quickly put it away as if afraid Raphael would take it back. On the other hand, Azalia took it casually. She didn't want to drink it and intended to throw it away after leaving the office.
"I forgot to remind you that you will feel excruciating pain in your body when you drink the miracle liquid. But you don't need to be afraid because it indicates that the liquid is working and will disappear in a few minutes. So you better drink it in your room when you're alone." Raphael gave a warning to the four students and Jourelio.
"Thank you, principal!"
Jourelio and the three students thanked Raphael with beaming faces. They couldn't wait to go back to their rooms and drink the miracle liquid.
"Okay. You can go back to your room. I know you can't wait to prove the efficacy of the miracle liquid. All of you except Azalia can go. I still have things to talk about with her." Raphael let the students go and kept Azalia in the room.
Prince Ozkar and the other two students were confused about why only Azalia was asked to stay in that place. But they didn't dare to question Raphael about it and left the room. Before leaving, Prince Ozkar glanced suspiciously at Azalia and then closed the door.
After Jourelio and the three students left the room, only Azalia and Raphael were in the office. But Raphael stayed silent for a long time and didn't even start a conversation. Azalia frowned and finally broke the silence.
"What do you want by asking me to stay in this room?" Azalia asked. She didn't want to waste time in that place. But Raphael didn't answer Azalia's question right away. He looked at Azalia for a long time and finally spoke.
"I didn't expect that the Princess of the divine race could be on this continent." Raphael said casually. He wasn't talking to Azalia but was muttering to himself.
"I also didn't expect that the angel race of the divine realm could exist in this world." Azalia replied indifferently.
"Hee… since you also know my identity, this conversation will become easier. As you know, I am indeed a person from the angel race in the divine realm. Besides, I am one of the princes of that race." Raphael revealed his identity. He didn't look like he was lying.
Azalia raised her eyebrows after hearing Raphael's identity. She didn't expect Raphael to be a prince because Azalia had never heard of his name when she was in the divine realm. Even so, she didn't care about it.
"Stop your small talk and just tell me your purpose in asking me to stay in this office." Azalia snorted and had no intention of having a long conversation with Raphael.
"You don't need to be in such a hurry. I still didn't expect to meet the most beautiful woman of divine nature on this continent. I feel honored to be stranded in the same world as you. As rumored, you are gorgeous. No, you're much prettier than the rumors I heard." Raphael ignored Azalia's words and instead looked at her while showing his admiration for her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Can you stop looking at me with that look? If there's nothing else you want to talk about, I'll be out of here!" Azalia stared coldly and was about to leave the room, but Raphael quickly stopped her.
"Okay. I understand. As other rumors say, you are indeed a cold woman." Raphael smiled and got up from his seat.
Raphael walked towards the bookshelf not far from his seat. Then he stretched out his hand, and a golden light appeared in his palm. The bookshelf suddenly shifted and revealed a large metal box covered in many magic circles.
Azalia's eyes condensed when she saw the box. She could already guess what was inside because she faintly sensed a familiar power.
The magic circle that envelops the metal box is stripped away until nothing remains. After the magic circles were deactivated, Raphael opened the metal door and took out a familiar object for Azalia.
"Were you looking for this thing when you intended to sneak into my office? This is also why you enrolled in this academy, isn't it?" Raphael showed the world altar fragment in his hand to Azalia.
Azalia frowned because she didn't expect Raphael knew not only her identity but also her purpose in coming to Arcuz Grand Academy.
"If you already know that thing is what I came to this academy for, then what do you mean by showing it to me?" Azalia narrowed her eyes. She guessed Raphael had some intentions when he showed her the world altar fragment. Azalia felt that she had to be careful with Raphael's plans because he was not an easy opponent.
"You don't need to be so wary of me like that. If you want this thing, I will give it to you." Raphael played with the fragment of the world altar in his hand and then placed it on the table.
"Eh? Do you seriously want to give that thing to me?" Azalia was surprised after hearing Raphael's words. Her eyes looked to the fragment of the world altar on the table, then to Raphael.
"Of course. I'll give it to you. But you must fulfill two of my conditions." Raphael picked up the fragment of the world altar on the table and sat back down in his chair, and then he smiled refreshingly. Azalia didn't know what he was thinking right now.
"I know that nothing will be free in any world. But I will listen to your condition first. If it's still within my reach, I'll do it." Azalia unhesitatingly agreed as she desperately needed that world altar fragment. That would be the best outcome if she could get it without fighting.
"The first condition is that you only have to answer my question honestly. For what reason do you need the world altar fragment?" Raphael asked. His face showed that he wouldn't accept a fake answer from Azalia.
"I want to take people from my race to another world. For this reason, you should already know if you know me in the divine realm. My race and I want to avoid those primeval gods." Azalia answered honestly. She thought it would be okay to tell Raphael about it.
Raphael trembled when he heard Azalia's words. He was on the Clorius continent for the same reason as Azalia, so he also knew about the power of those primeval gods. Raphael pondered for a long time after hearing Azalia's answer. His mind was drifting away from his body right now.
"So, what's your second condition?" Azalia felt impatient after waiting for Raphael, who had been silent for a long time and had yet to speak.
"I want to marry you." Raphael said with a serious face.
