Inside Bill's office in the Iron Crow Manor, the shadow emissary commanded that she needs to see Naga but she was denied by Bill.

"Who is he?" The emissary asked.

"My master. I will relay all your words to him instead." Bill said with a firm voice.

The emissary glared at Bill then at Old Samuel. 'Hmph!'

Old Samuel just smiled at the emissary.

'What a difficult woman.' He thought.

"The Blue Flame Beast Clan will soon take revenge on you." The emissary said and looked at Bill.

"The wind changed. They're always welcome to visit us." Billed smiled and said.

"I am giving you seven days." The shadow emissary stood up and left the office.

Her guards followed through and the servants of the manor escorted them out.

Old Samuel looked at the window. He watched the leaving carriage of the emissary.

"Naga will leave with the princess next week." Said by Old Samuel.

"Will master bring his sparrows?" Bill asked.

"Not all." Old Samuel shook his head lightly and said.

"I see. Please do the necessary arrangement, Old Samuel." Bill lightly bowed down and said.

"Rest assured. Leave it to me." Old Samuel nodded and replied.

Naga at that moment was with his sister at the garden of his mansion in the Magnus Island.

"Studying at the Sacred Grail Academy?" He curiously asked Lillie.

"Yes, Little brother. I accepted the offer of Sir Lucas." Lillie answered with a warm smile.

She continued, "I heard that even the bishop offered it to you. As the Magnus Clan is our benefactor, I encourage you to go as well."

Naga smiled and answered, "If you say so... I will go but not now. Perhaps next year."

"Is that true?" Lillie asked and smiled.

With a warm smile, Naga nodded.

Lillie was really happy that Naga agreed. She believed that the academy is one of the secured places for them to hide.

She was also so eager to learn new things and explore the famous academy.

The Sacred Grail Academy is the oldest academy in the world and currently one of the three most powerful schools. The territory of the academy is so enormous as it is as big as any imperial capital.

The academy is currently being ruled by two powerful organizations from the renowned Holy Land, one if it is the Magnus Clan.

After talking to his sister, Naga went to the training dome and looked for Sir Lucas.

"Hey, Naga!" Sir Lucas waved at him and shouted cheerfully.

Naga saw Sir Lucas standing at one of the stone arenas and smiled. He jumped with great speed and directly landed on it.

"I will go back to the academy. Your sister agreed to enroll." Sir Lucas said and smiled.

"I heard." Naga nodded and replied smiling.

"How about you then?" Sir Lucas asked smiling.

Naga chuckled but did not respond.

'Swoosh!'

Sir Lucas suddenly moved with great speed and attacked Naga using a sword made of golden light.

Naga generated his arcane and moved with finesse then parried the attack using a lightning volt.

Both of them smiled and dashed backwards then after that, Naga attacked with multiple swift strikesae.

'Using a lightning volt as a sword?' Sir Lucas was amazed and thought to himself while parrying using his golden sword of light.

Naga attacked again with a powerful fist stirke but he lightly moved backwards and with great speed, countered with a strong turn a round kick.

'Crash!'

However, Naga was able to block it with his right arm. 'Crack.'

Sir Lucas was astonished when he saw that Naga's arm was covered by cracking thick ice.

"What the?" He looked at his foot and saw thin ice covering it.

He looked at Naga and said with full of admiration, "Fire as your bow, lightning as your sword and ice to support your defense and offense. Are you really a mage and not a force arcane practitioner?"

"Of course, I am. I used a bit of dragon mana since I can't really do all of it still at once." Naga chuckled and answered.

"Still..." Sir Lucas noddingly answered.

He continued and asked again to when Naga will visit the academy, "So when?"

"Next year." Naga answered and smiled.

"Great! Hahaha!" Sir Lucas said and laughed.

Sir Lucas then asked if Naga can stay in the next three days to train with him. Naga agreed so he can visit and talk to his sister daily.

In the next three days aside from visiting his sister and his training with Sir Lucas, Naga also visited the island's library hall to learn more information that are not known mostly to the world.

Also, Sir Lucas told him more information about the known living masters and experts with dragon mana. Specifically, within the new generation.

Naga absorbed the information he got and took note of all the things that he can use to his advantage.

After three days, the day of the departure arrived.

Naga along with his servants and island officials went to the portal gate of the island to bid farewell to Sir Lucas and Lillie.

"I'll wait for you. Bring Bella with you." Lillie said with a warm smile.

"Sure. Hextor will go to the academy after a month. Always ask him for assistance." Naga nodded and answered.

"Thank you." Lillie said and smiled.

"We will go now. Take care, Naga." Sir Lucas said.

"Take care." Naga nodded and replied smiling.

"Take care, Sir Lucas and Miss Lillie!"

The island officials, the knights and Naga's servants bowed down.

Naga bid farewell to his servants and went back to their manor in the city after that.

Inside Bill's office, Old Samuel and Naga talked about the recent events and some other things.

"How's the preparation?" Naga asked to Old Samuel.

The old elf responded, "Preparation is done."

"Great. Please tell Ian, Cris and Nicholas to prepare as well." Naga said and smiled.

"Definitely." Old Samuel said smiling.

"Hahaha! I am always ready, boss!" Nicholas heard them while he was entering Bill's office and said cheerfully.

"Look at you!" Old Samuel said smiling.

"Why did you go here? Any problem?" Old Samuel continued and asked.

It was seldom for the easygoing elf mage to visit the manor.

"Nothing. I heard that boss is here so I decided to visit you guys." Nicholas shook his head and said.

The three stayed for a few hours inside Bill's office and discussed a lot of things.

In the southern village, Cris was informed that he will go to the capital with Naga.

"Make sure to assist the boss with everything. Inform us if you need any help." Alfred reminded Cris and smiled.

"Of course! Rest assured, Al!" Cris excitedly answered with a thumb's up post.

He was really excited and was determined to perform his duty diligently.

He used his network to send information to their people in the capital that he and the boss are coming.

"This is going to be fun." Cris said with great anticipation.
