Chapter 314: To the principle's office again?
"Er... why are we all called to the principal's office? I swear, none of the students in the academy get called here more than us, right?"
Standing outside Raji's office, Liam couldn't help but grumble those words to express his dissatisfaction.
He was planning on going to a swimming pool and playing around with Ellie and others today, but then suddenly Raji's message came, and he was forced to come here.
Hearing Liam's words, Rio shrugged his shoulders and said,
"Well... We are in Link's group after all, and he's favored by the principal; every time he gets a mission, we will be dragged into it too..."
Link shook his head in response to those words.
"Okay, I will come clean... I literally have nothing to do with this guys; I have no idea why she asked us to come here..."
Hearing this, Rio rolled his eyes and said,
"The last time we came here was when she wanted to tell us more about the Elven Empire..."
(It was off-screen; she called them and told them general details about what to take care of and what not to...)
Lia glanced around and then asked,
"By the way... where is Riya? Wasn't she called?"
At Lia's question, Link contemplated for a moment and said,
"She was with the principal last night; they talked a lot about something... what? Don't look at me like that guy; I just happened to visit their home and saw them chatting..."
Liam gave Link a thumbs up and said it with a meaningful smile.
"You already stayed a night at their home... nice move! Now you just need to find the time when Riya is alone at home and you can seize the opportunity!"
Upon hearing Liam's words, Link rubbed his temples and said,
"Tch! We haven't gone that far yet... You can't think of anything else other than 'that' all the time, right?"
Liam smirked at those words and said,
"You guys have been together for years, and you still haven't even done the deed yet? Sigh, I didn't expect that you were so slow, Link... At this rate, little Riya will be stolen by her candies~"
Hearing that provocation, Link immediately got angry.
He took a step forward towards Liam, and the ground cracked just from his aura. Then he cracked his knuckles to intimidate the other party.
"Hoh! Are you perhaps looking for a beating or something?"
But obviously Liam wasn't going to back off from that little provocation; he also took a step forward and refused to bend against Link's momentum.
"Heh, then come at me... I will send you to the infirmary..."
Both of their auras collided, and they both refused to back off even a single inch. The ground cracked from the collision of their auras, and even the building started to tremble.
All the staff members backed off with frightened expressions on their faces.
Just when the situation was about to escalate, massive pressure came from inside the room and suppressed both of them in an instant.
Only then did the two of them stop messing around.
A familiar voice came from inside the principal's office room.
"Come in, everyone..."
...
Rio opened the door, and others followed behind him to enter the room.
As Link had said earlier, Riya was already here and was sitting on a nearby couch, nibbling on her candies just as always.
Raji, who was sitting on the principal's chair, glanced at Link and Liam before saying,
"You two... For causing damage to the academy's property and intimidating the staff member, you will be punished. You two will be on swimming pool cleaning duty for the next three days..."
Hearing that punishment, Link and Liam both felt that they were being punished too harshly for such a small matter.
But they dared not say those words out loud for fear that Raji might increase their punishment.
Then Raji glanced at Rio and Lia and said,
"You two will be in charge of helping out in the garden... This punishment is because you didn't stop the two from destroying public property and intimidating the staff members..."
Seeing that even Rio and Lia got punished, Link and Liam couldn't help but gloat in their hearts.
But the punishment allocation wasn't over yet.
Raji glanced at Riya and said,
"You will be banned from eating candy for a whole day..."
Hearing those words, Riya's mouth opened wide in shock. She hurriedly put her candies back
in the space ring for fear that Raji might snatch them away and said,
"W-what!? I didn't even do anything!"
Raji shook her head and said,
"You are getting punished because you have thrown so many candy wrappers on the floor here
that the office looks like a garbage can!"
Riya glanced at the floor, and only then did she notice how many candies she had eaten in one
sitting.
"Ugh... That's so unfair..."
Raji frowned at Riya's words of complaint and said,
"What? You want me to increase your punishment to three days, just like the others?"
Hearing those words, Riya panicked and shook her hands desperately.
"No no, t-that's not what I was saying! I-it must have been wind!"
Raji ignored Riya's excuse and took out a certain token and placed it on the table.
"Okay, enough chit-chat... Now let's talk about the main reason why I have called you all
here..."
Hearing Raji's serious tone, everyone else also got serious and listened to her carefully.
"This is an invitation token given to Riya; she told me about this token just last night... I have investigated it, and it seems that the original date of invitation was a few weeks ago..."
"But now the date has changed due to some reasons, and this token can still be used... In one week's time, you can use this token to go to the 'Dragon Valley'..."
"And according to what Riya has been told, all members of Team Astra have been invited to the Dragon Valley by the Dragon King himself..."
Hearing those words, everyone except Riya was shocked.
This is the first time they are hearing about it.
Riya was so busy eating candies that she totally forgot to tell about this thing to Link and others; only yesterday did she tell about it to Raji when she accidentally remembered about it
out of nowhere.
Thankfully, the date on the invitation token has changed, likely because of some kind of delay, but this is good news for team Astra.
If the token had already expired, they would all have lost the rare opportunity to visit the
Dragon Valley.
(Actually, Riya got punished for not telling about this token, not because she made the room dirty...)
...
Riya explained everything that she talked about with Syvis and Aria that day and told them about the token and the invitation in great detail.
Of course she didn't mention anything about her training; if she did, then Link and Raji would faint from shock on the spot, as they couldn't bear to hear how much Riya had suffered in that
training session.
From Riya's words, one thing caught Rio's attention.
'Sword of Promised Destinies... I kind of feel that I have heard that name in the novel
somewhere... but I can't remember it properly...'
'I will need to look into it...'
Rio rarely gets interested in finding out about something, and this so-called 'Sword of Promised Destinies' has piqued his interest today.
Just when Rio was contemplating it in his mind, Raji glanced at them all and said, "You all haven't received your first mission as third-year students until now, right? Good, I will personally assign this visit to the Dragon Valley to you all as your first mission..."
"You have to go and visit that so-called festival, and you have to come back alive from there; don't go provoking the dragons..."
Everyone nodded their heads at Raji's words, and a smile appeared on their faces.
Very few people in the world get the chance to visit the Dragon Valley in their lifetime. It's a great opportunity to get new experiences, so none of them wanted to leave it. "Also... does anyone of you know where Fade and Kira are? They are also part of Team Astra afterall... Both of them have been missing for a week now..."
Link and others looked at each other with confused looks, but no one had the answer to that
question.
"I seriously don't even care about that guy; I don't know where he went..."
Following Link's lead, Liam also said the same words and admitted that he hasn't been
looking at Fade these days.
Even Rio and Lia shook their heads, saying they haven't met the two of them for a while now.
And Riya was just as clueless as always.
In other words, no one knew where those two had disappeared all of a sudden. "Sigh~ forget it, you guys prepare for the trip. I will try to find them if possible, and if I can't,
then you five can go on your own; there is no need to wait for them..." Seeing that none of them knew about Fade and Kira, Raji stopped asking them about it.
Then she glanced at Ellie, who was standing beside Liam, and said,
"By the way, when going to the dragon valley, always keep her in a de-summoned state... Shadow dragons aren't welcome in the Dragon Valley... If they see her... they will kill her..."
Hearing Raji's words, Liam gulped his saliva and nodded his head,
"Okay, I will keep that in mind..."
