Upon finishing packing, I left the dorm with Azreal, as we went our seperate ways, Azreal pointed out my roommate was kind of a weirdo..not that I didn't know that, was that why he was so silent when packing? It doesn't seem like Zaire is malicious at least so I can rest easy knowing I won't be stabbed or dragged into a basement and sacrificed…
As I finished those thoughts, I walked to the staircase.
The principals office is on the very top floor of this building if I remember correctly.
I walked up the stairs with only my thoughts to accompany me, as I went to the office, I was stopped by a security guard, who stepped in front of me and…. Walked away..?
"You may pass"
Well dang, thanks.
I opened the principals office only to immediately meet the principal's gaze, her red eyes staring intently at me.
….. were her eyes always red?
"You may come in"
Upon hearing those words, I unconsciously closed the door.. without stepping in.
The security guard next to me stared at me as if wondering what a Buffoon like me was doing being invited by the principal and not going in.
Flustered, I immediately opened the door again, walked in and shut the door with a bang.
…
" I'm sorry I didn't mean to shut the door so loudly I-"
"Enough, I understand that you are nervous but I assure you it is fine, I am not here to execute you, now please, sit down."
She said that with a smiling face, pointing at the luxurious chair. I immediately complied by sitting onto the chair.
This cushion.. seems exactly like the one I had in the orphanage..? But everything in the orphanage burned….
"Stop thinking so hard~ you're here to meet me, so pay attention"
Her attitude was much more different than usual, when I first met her…
**
"Are you alright?"
She said as her Hand to me, at that point, I could barely see or think straight. Azreal had been bleeding out and saoirse was barely conscious, Serena had went out to call for backup and I…
I was standing above the corpse of the owner of the orphanage.
The liquid dripping from my head felt hot, I gripped the arm before falling into a deep sleep.
When I had awoken, I woke up in a hospital, looking to the left of me, Azreal was still unconscious while saoirse was talking to her mother and Serena, and to my right.. the woman who had extended her hand was to my right.
She asked me a few questions about the orphanage and I asserted all of them. She mained a professional conduct that was still gentle, probably because I was a victim. In the end, she gave the 3 of us a ticket, and just told us to show up before April.

Her attitude seemed so different from before, I wondered if they were the same person.
"So how does the academy dorm feel? Must be much better than that rut you called the orphanage right?"
"Indeed.. it was…"
"Why so shy? From what I hea- from what I remember… when I was talking to you in the hospital, you were able to talk to me fine, cat got your tongue?"
"No it's just.. I'm here as a stud-"
"Enough about that" she said, handing me a potion.
"This potion will allow you to have a higher change in increasing your grade, it's what was in the safe of the orphanage, there's only one and the other 3 agreed to let you have it"
The potion was brown in color, was it because it would taste like shit? No wait… where are my thoughts wondering.
I received the potion with both arms before hugging it to my chest, as if it was the most precious thing ever I've ever seen in my life.
"Thank you miss…"
"No problem, off you go~" she said as she dismissed me.
Stepping out of the room, I suddenly received something from my system.
"Mission: meet the demigod of lies" accomplished
Award: a reveal of the greatest friend/foe.
What? But the principal is the demigod of truth…
