Chapter 242: Question and Answer (1)
Arthur also wanted to speak up, but he remembered that at that time, he was an Emperor and not the principal. He swallowed back what he wanted to say and planned to visit these students later.
"Elysia, I have something to discuss with you." Alexander ignored anything else and only turned to the Goddess's disciple.
"Grandfather, you can continue with that later. We need to take Ely to the Holy Cathedral for treatment." Ella advised her grandfather politely.
"Hmm? You girls talk at will, and I have to wait? All right, let's go back to the Holy Cathedral." Alexander could only comply with a few considerations.
After that, the Pope and the girls parted ways with Arthur and his troops. They entered the city and immediately headed to the medical center of the Holy Cathedral.
Vanessa transformed her body back into a little cat when she was about to enter the Holy Cathedral. A large body size in a narrow environment would prevent her from protecting her master from anything that might happen.
The VIP treatment room was the room where Elysia would be treated. Pitiful Elysia refused to be hospitalized, but the others insisted on the decision.
"Uhh, I'm fine, really. I can walk by myself." Elysia suggested helplessly to the two girls who were still helping her to walk. She felt like a prisoner, her arms held hostage as if these two girls were afraid she might escape.
"No, Ely. We're afraid you'll fall, so let us help you get to the treatment room. VIP room 4... Ah, there we go." Evelyn shook her head, disapproving of her best friend's request.
"..." Elysia could only obey. At least, this result was still much better thanks to Elena's plan. If not, she was afraid that big trouble would fall on her.
"Sit here, Ely. Be careful." Ella helped her friend sit on the bed.
Elysia felt a little strange about this treatment, but she sat like a good girl, and her arms finally regained freedom. Then, The white cat jumped and sat on her lap.
"Ehm, I still feel amazed that Vanessa is the big winged white tiger earlier. Can Spirit Beasts transform the size of their bodies? That's an impressive ability." Ella stroked the ferocious tiger in the form of an adorable cat.
"Meow." Vanessa acknowledged it proudly.
Alexander, Rosie, Bianca, Serena, Cora, and Nico also entered the VIP room. They just stood as if waiting for something, but Serena and her servants were nervous.
"Well then, let me confirm a few things to Elysia. This is very important and not only for our Human Race but also for Elysia as well." Alexander spoke up after Elysia, Ella, and Evelyn sat on the bed. Hearing that, the attention of everyone in the room focused on the Pope, then on Elysia.
At that moment, a man dressed in a neat suit suddenly walked into the room as if it belonged to him.
"P-principal." Serena stuttered, and her worry deepened as the man with dark bronze hair stared at her with his judging eyes.
"Hum, there's no need to be afraid. I know what you've done, but it all needs an explanation from both sides." Arthur, who returned to the role of the principal named Isaac Hussain, smiled slightly.
Elysia gave the Principal Emperor a strange look. He still had time to play two identities. There wasn't anything different from Emperor Arthur a moment ago, other than the clothes he was wearing.
Serena breathed a sigh of relief. Her worries eased a little just hearing the principal's relaxed tone. Maybe something wasn't as awful as it looked? Sad to say, she didn't know what the principal was thinking at that time.
"Alright, Grandpa. Please ask what you want to confirm. But please forgive me in advance. I have restrictions to tell things on my master's orders." Elysia nodded. She was willing to answer on condition.
"That sounds fair." Alexander nodded without any objections.
Arthur turned to Alexander with some thoughts. This old man worked fast to establish good relations with the Goddess's disciple. Understanding the situation, he would also do something similar, but that was for later.
"As we know, there are three God-level existences in this world. Can you tell us where you and your master come from? Which side are you on?" Alexander asked with seriousness. The answer to that question was crucial.
'Sister Elena, where do you come from? What do I have to say about you?' Elysia asked for help answering that. She had to be careful about answering these brief interrogations.
'My origin? As far as I can remember, I was present in this Soul Realm when you were born. So, my origin is you, Ely.' Elena admitted that easily without hesitation.
'...' Elysia was speechless for a moment. Still, she could use that information to play with the words and arrange them into a remarkable statement.
"I understand your worries, Grandpa. I can say that my master is on the neutral side. Maybe you also know a little about my master. Uhm, my master, is not the Goddess of this world." Elysia answered that with a gentle smile. She didn't want to be seen as a threat.
"If-if so, how about you, Ely? Do you, maybe..." Rosie also asked. She was eager to know the real answer to that question.
"My master and I are from the same world, and it's not Vrelenia." Elysia provided the answer to the unfinished question.
"I-I see..." Rosie lowered her shoulders like a slightly disappointed little girl.
"It's a relief to hear. Your master seems to know quite a bit about the Goddess of Blessings, Elysia. Does your master know our Goddess?" Alexander nodded while stroking his beard. He did ask to confirm and felt calm when he knew Elysia was telling the truth.
"I don't think so. The Goddess of Blessings appeared in front of me the first time I attended the Blessing Day. She had a brief chat with me, then to my master. After that, the Goddess of Blessings listened to the hymn that everyone sang together." Elysia patted her chin with her finger as if she was trying to remember something. She deliberately made Nell take part in the statement.
The confession given by Elysia took Alexander by surprise, and the others felt the same way. Last month, the Goddess of Blessings was present among them in the cathedral hall?
"Ah, so honored. So, at that time, we were very close to the Goddess of Blessings. However, her exalted self did not reveal herself to the world." Ella clasped her hand with a smile, albeit there was a hint of a letdown in her expression.
Alexander immediately stepped closer and grabbed Elysia's shoulders. "Then, where is the Goddess of Blessings at this time? We need her enlightenment based on the notes she left behind. One of the accursed monster's sealing spots was broken, and we don't know when or where the others will follow."
"Grandfather! What you are doing to Ely is not right. Just ask nicely, what if Ely gets hurt?" Ella scolded her enthusiastic grandfather.
"Un, un." Evelyn shared the same opinion.
Alexander ignored the two girls' chatter and only looked at the girl in front of him for an answer.
"Uhm, I'm sorry. I don't know either. The Goddess of Blessings returned to her Firmament Realm. All I know is that the Goddess of Blessings wants to confirm a few things about the world. She said that in this world, there are more than three existences at the God level. However, only three of them are known to the world. For the rest, please wait for her exalted self to come back." Elysia blurted out what she knew about the Goddess of Blessings. That was also not something that should be kept secret.
"Oo, like that. Forgive this old man, Elysia. I'm just too excited about the news you've brought." Alexander smiled broadly and patted Elysia on the shoulder.
After that, the question about Goddess was closed along with Alexander, who was satisfied because the Human Race had two Goddesses by their side.
"Oh yes, Grandpa. There are an altar and other ancient relics in the crater formed by my master's attack. Are you going to research that, Grandpa? The curses and other negative energies in the area have been purified by my master's magic." Elysia immediately changed the topic at Elena's request.
"Oh-ho-ho, that's of course. You don't need to worry, I have sent an investigation team over there, and another team will follow." Alexander casually confirmed as if everything was under control and estimates. Then, he turned to the silent Arthur. "Art-, ahem! Isaac brat, how about you? What brought you here?"
"I'd like to ask Elysia a few questions, too, then sort out the academy privilege card issue." Arthur acknowledged the purpose of his presence, even though in his heart he only wanted to know a few things about this Goddess's disciple.
"Ho-ho, is there a problem with your academy privilege card? Didn't I remind you of it many years ago? The flawed and old school system at the academy needs to be fixed. You are so stubborn with ridiculous reasons. Look what happened, trouble came, right? Ho-ho-ho." Alexander only mocked the stubborn boy who often didn't listen to good advice.
"You are so talkative as usual, old man. From the past until now, my academy has never encountered this kind of problem. No one dared to violate the rules set by the Emperor's ancestors, the founder of the Deterry Academy of Magic." Arthur smiled wryly in response to Pope's taunts.
"That's because no one has tried to break the academy rules yet. Oh no, maybe there have been many violations that have occurred. You and the old teachers just don't know it. Why is the data collection system split up into disjointed parts like that? Too many flaws in your academy administration system too. Do you need help from the Holy Cathedral for that?" Alexander offered to help with an amused smile.
