Chapter 80: To New Beginnings [2]
(Inside the newly established administrative office)
The leading professors of the academy and the members of the committee sat at the round table, with the headmistress and the Emperor’s first sword sitting at each end.
"So what do you think about them?" A youthful, stunning woman with white hair and blue eyes addressed the group.
Neko-sensei, who was seated next to her, smiled. "Headmistress, you did witness it with your own eyes, didn’t you?"
The headmistress let out a gentle chuckle, then swept her gaze across the twelve who sat around the table. "I suppose I did." She paused, then fixed her gaze on Neko-sensei. "But that young man is your pupil, isn’t he?"
Neko-sensei nodded. "He even exceeded my expectations."
Kylie, who sat directly across from Neko-sensei, scoffed. "It’s not that big of a deal."
As soon as she voiced her opinion, a deep voice echoed through the room, drawing all eyes toward him.

The elderly man, who looked barely thirty, had been dispatched by his royal Highness, the Emperor of the Empire, to investigate the incident that took place in Noctis, as the princess — the Emperor’s most beloved child — attended the academy.
But upon hearing what had unfolded in one of the most secure academies, he not only reconstructed his entire report to the Emperor but also reconsidered his purpose for visiting the school.
