Heavenly Saga

After she conjured that seishin spell, Teacher Kyleen was able to heal all the wounds of her unconscious students.

She said, "Okay, I already finished healing them. All of them will regain their consciousness at any minute now."

Princess Kyomi was the first among the girls to regain her consciousness. Among the girls, she was one of the members that only sustained lesser damages from the fight. She just lost her consciousness due to the last seishin spell that the enemy had conjured.

The moment she opened her eye, she asked Kraftvoll and others a question with a very serious face. "Is the battle over?" she asked.

Teacher Kyleen's face suddenly turned even more serious than before. She did not try to lie to her so she nodded in response to her question.

To motivate her, Teacher Kyleen said to Princess Kyomi, "All of you did an excellent job in this fight. Remember that I am very proud of all of you, girls!"

Princess Kyomi smiled in response to her homeroom teacher's remark. After that, the other members of the 210th class' six-man team regained their consciousness one by one until every one of them did.

They were told about what happened as soon as they wake up. Some of them couldn't hide their frustrations but Teacher Kyleen and the others' words of encouragement made them feel a little better.

They went to their seats right after that because they would delay the next match if they did not.

When they went to the seat assigned to them, they saw Princess Gloriel eagerly waiting for them. Her expression showed that she was very upset about something. When the girls saw her, they all went to her side and Belle asked her a question.

"Are you okay?" she asked. They were worried about her ever since she was injured back in their fight. They were unable to check on her because Teacher Kyleen immediately interfered after Princess Gloriel so all the time they were fighting they were worried about her.

Princess Gloriel's face turned even more serious. She said, "Yes, I am okay. Teacher Kyleen already finished healing me. She said that I need to rest for a while. Sorry everyone, if only I did not get eliminated in the early part of the battle, we probably wo-"

Princess Kyomi suddenly interrupted her. She said to her while pointing at herself, "No! It's not your fault! If only I lead you all properly..."

The bitterness can be seen in the faces of the girls but they did not blame their teammates. All of them felt that their team's loss today can only be blamed themselves.

Seeing this, Teacher Kyleen decided to motivate the girl by using an unorthodox method. She said, "Your team lost today because all of you are weak. Remember that in our Nidriege Welt continent, all the strong devour the weak! The only thing that we can do to avoid getting devoured is by training harder. That's why train harder and put your heart in doing it so that no one will be able to defeat you again!"

After listening to their homeroom teacher's little speech, the determination of these girls suddenly spiked in comparison to what they had felt. They all said in unison in response, "We'll work harder than before from now on!"

Teacher Kyleen smiled in response. "Okay! Don't let me down, my students! For now, let's watch the tripartite match of the competition."

"What do you mean by tripartite match, teach?" asked Kraftvoll to her homeroom teacher, Teacher Kyleen.

"Oh, that's a match between those who won in the last three matches of the elimination round," she replied shortly.

"Really? Isn't matches supposed to be between two parties only?" Kraftvoll asked because he was still confused. Even the other students were still wondering about the tripartite match of the tournament.

After seeing her students' confusion, Teacher Kyleen further explained the tripartite match. "Okay, I'll explain it a little further. In the past, the winner between the ninth grade and tenth grade will advance straight to the finals."

"But, there were times that the winner of the last match was weaker than the losers of the semifinals so the academy decided that it was unfair for the winners of the last match to directly go to the finals. After all, in the academy, those who are strong must prove their strength. So the academy decided that the three winners of the last match would all face each other at a single match."

After hearing everything about that, Prince Aragorn couldn't hide his bewilderment so he immediately asked a question to their adviser.

He asked, "Isn't it ideal to invest more in older students rather than the younger students? Why would the academy give more opportunities to the younger ones? Isn't the ideal tripartite match is between the three winners of the first three matches rather than the last one?"

Teacher Kyleen giggled a little after hearing Prince Aragorn's question.

After seeing his homeroom teacher's reaction to his question, Princess Aragorn quickly asked Teacher Kyleen, "Why are you laughing, teach? Did I say anything funny?"

Teacher Kyleen stopped giggling after seeing the elven prince's flustered face. She answered Prince Aragorn's question. "Oh, it's not like that. It's just when you ask the question earlier, I feel a little nostalgia because I asked the Headmaster the same thing when I was still a student in the academy."

Teacher Kyleen continued talking, "Okay, here's the thing. I wondered the same thing in the past so I asked the Headmaster back then. He was one of my elemental teachers back then, you see. He replied to me, 'The foundation of seishin practitioners must be properly nurtured during the early years of cultivation. That's why more opportunities were given for the younger ones."'

They finally understood why the academy did something unconventional. After they heard Teacher Kyleen's explanation, Kraftvoll and the others' confusion almost vanished after hearing Teacher Kyleen's explanation.
