"Let me introduce myself, my name is Karina Stella. I am the Principal of San Fulgen Akademiya," said the woman.

  "Principal? What does the principal want to do by watching me secretly like that?," I said.

  "It seems like you are very vigilant, don't worry, I'm just curious about the new students, especially I'm curious about you, Rid Archie. You even got a perfect score on the entrance exam yesterday. As far as I know, you are the only participant who managed to get a perfect score from 3 entrance exams at the academy. That's why I was curious and decided to observe you secretly to see what you are like. But I didn't think you could tell that I was observing you secretly. Even though I was sure that I would completely eliminate my presence," said the principal.

  "Is it true that you only wanted to observe me secretly? Don't you have any other intentions?," I said.

  "That's right, that's all," said the principal.

  "Even though you were also observing me during the third exam. Indeed, at that time I did not know who was observing me, but I realized that the aura of the person observing me in the third exam was the same as the one observing me now, you yourself," I said.

  "Hmmm, so you also know that I was observing you during the third exam. I was careless until I was found out. No, it's not that I was careless but because the person I was observing was not an ordinary person," said the principal while looking at me.

  "*Sigh since I've been found out it seems like I have no reason to lie anymore. Okay, I'll tell you the real reason I observed you. Hmm, it's not nice to just stand here. Wait a minute," said principal again.

  - Earth Magic, Earth Creation Magic -

  The principal created a garden chair from his magic. Then she sat on the chair.

  "Now please sit down," said the principal while offering to sit next to her.

  I initially just stood still looking at the principal.

  "What's wrong? Are you still alert? Don't worry, I won't attack you. Besides, how can an principal attack his own student," said the principal.

  "Okay," I said.

  I started to sit down. After that the principal ?explained the reason to me.

  -

  "So that's it, Javier is the subject of the elf heart transplant experiment. No wonder, if he can use a lot of magic and even high-level magic without getting tired," I said.

  "Yes, that's why I also want to apologize for making Javier your opponent. I even turned off the danger alarm," said the principal.

  "Ah, it's okay, Principal. At least I already know about what happened in yesterday's match. And the reason the principam is observing me is because I am suspected of being the subject too, right?," I said.

  "Yes, that's right," said the principal.

  "If I was suspected of being the subject too, shouldn't the principal not have told me about the subject?," I asked.

  "Yes, at first I didn't want to be honest directly. But since I've been found out by you, it can't be helped. And again, I feel like lying would be useless. So since I've explained it frankly. Can I confirm this? Are you also a subject like Javier?," asked the principal.

  "No, I'm not a subject. I swear that my heart is still the human heart that I was born with," I said.

  This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

  "Okay, that's enough," said the principal.

  "Does the principal believe me?," I asked.

  "Yes, it seems like you're not lying. Your firm answer earlier and your attitude of not being anxious and not panicking when I discussed it are proof. Well, that's just from my point of view. I will report to Her Majesty the Queen that you are not a subject," said the principal.

  "Does Her Majesty the Queen also suspect me?," I asked.

  "No, I'm the only one who suspects you, haha. But Her Majesty the Queen said that there is a possibility that there are other subjects among the new students or students from previous years," said the principal.

  "Is that so. Since I've been proven not to be a subject, will the principal not be monitoring me anymore?" I asked.

  "No, even though you are not a subject, I will still watch you. Because there is a possibility that something interesting will happen if I watch you. Besides, I have also ordered someone to watch you too," said the principal.

  "Ordering someone to watch me? Who is that person?," I said.

  "Later you will also know who it is," said the principal.

  "It is better for the principal and the person you ordered to do other tasks rather than watching me," I said.

  "Hahaha. By the way, the term principal is too formal. I prefer if you call me Miss Karina," said the principal.

  "Calling the principal ?by that term is actually impolite," I said.

  "Just do it," said Miss Karina.

  "Okay, Miss Karina. By the way, should I call you this too when there are other students?" I asked.

  "That's right. Because I don't like formal terms. Many students from previous years also called me that," said Miss Karina.

  "Okay then," I said.

  "It seems like we've been hiding for quite some time. We'd better end it. You too, it seems like your friends are waiting for you," said Miss Karina.

  "Okay," I said.

  Miss Karina and I got up from our seats. After getting up, the park bench we were sitting on became a pile of dirt again. After that, a very thick fog suddenly appeared in the forest where we were hiding.

  "Oh yeah, I forgot to ask something. The Magic and Mana Manipulation and Weapon Enhancement that you did earlier, where did you learn it?," asked Miss Karina.

  "I learned it from a book. That book belongs to my parents. Before my parents left, they left the books with my late grandfather," I said.

  "From a book, huh," said Miss Karina.

  "What's wrong, miss?," I asked.

  "Nothing. Then about this 'Secret Sword Art: Dragon Skin Piercing Stab' technique, where did you learn it? Have you ever fought a dragon using this technique?," asked Miss Karina.

  "I learned it from books too. As for fighting a dragon, I've never even met one," I said.

  "Is that so. Well, it's hard to find a Dragon in San Fulgen anyway because their home is far from the San Fulgen kingdom. But according to rumors, in the Orokho mountains which are north of San Lucia, there resides an ice dragon there. But I don't know the truth because I've never been there. The mountains there are very cold. Those mountains are what make the temperature in San Lucia cold too. ... And 1 more question," said Miss Karina.

  "What question is that, miss?," I asked

  "Have you ever met or seen an Angel or a Devil?," asked Miss Karina.

  "No, I've never met or seen them," I said.

  "Okay then, see you later. Don't forget to gather in the lobby at 18:00. Because there will be a welcoming for new students and you will get uniforms at the academy," said Miss Karina.

  Miss Karina walked deeper into the fog. After that, the fog disappeared and so did Miss Karina.

  I rebuilt to the academy lake where the three of them must be waiting for me. After arriving at the lake, I saw the three of them playing on the edge of the lake. I approached them.

  "It looks like you guys are having fun," I said.

  "You took so long, Rid," Noa said.

  "Sorry," I said.

  We played around on the edge of the lake and sometimes we went around to see other people fishing. The fishing area and the play area at the academy lake are separated so as not to disturb each other. In the play area, besides being able to play in the water on the edge of the lake. You can also soak there. We continued playing in the lake until around 12 noon.

  After that, we went to the cafeteria because it was time for lunch. In the cafeteria, we saw some people carrying their weapons, it seemed like they were people who got the same points who had a rematch. Since the rematch started at 10, it was no wonder they were finished now.

  After lunch, we wanted to rest in our respective dorms. When I wanted to enter my dorm. I saw Princess Irene and her two assistants sitting for hours in front of Princess Irene's dorm.

  "Excuse me, you three," I asked permission because I wanted to pass by.

  "Yes, please. Sorry for interrupting your way," said Elf's assistant.

  "Relax, please continue the conversation," I said.

  I took the key and immediately entered my dorm. After entering the dorm, I intended to read a book while waiting for the afternoon. I read the book with focus until I didn't realize that the clock was already showing 16:30. I went to the bathroom to take another shower. When the clock showed 17:00, I got ready and went out of the dorm to attend the welcoming of new students.
