"Elena-sama a messenger from Margrave Canvisiny is requesting an audience."

"Hmm, take him to the parlour. I'm coming"

Elena knew why the messenger had come. She sent a letter to the Margrave 2 days ago and that must have shocked him a lot. She still had a few more documents to finish and after she was done she went to meet the messenger.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to come as a messenger, Lane."

"Elena-sama's eyes can see through everything. This Lane is incredibly humble that you remembered my name."

"So, what message do you have for me?"

"After getting madam's letter I personally did some investigation. Even tho they hid it very tightly I was still able to get some alarming information. After knowing that, Margrave sent me to you to ask for some advice on this matter."

"Hmm, so what alarming information did you get?"

"Yes, it is about how the Bull beast king Hapis is trying to create a new army regiment. It was actually not a new information to us as the Bull beast king had a hobby of making and dismissing new regiments very often. But after getting your Letter, I dug a bit deep and speculated that this time he is not playing around this time. From my estimation, this time the new army regiment has at least thirty thousand soldiers."

"Hmm, so do you have more news on this topic ?"

"I am ashamed to say this but no. The only information I was able to dig up was about the creation of a new regiment. Other than that I found no other clues. The Bull beast king is not even storing foods or anything like that to plan for war. I don't know what he is planning."

"Umm, I see."

Saying that Elena stood up from her seat and told Lane that he should wait in the capital for a few days. She had some work to finish and after that she would return to Rin with him. Lane didn't expect that Elena would actually come with him to Rin, so he happily accepted and went back to his inn.

...

The next day, a sudden shocking news shook the entire Myrilia Royal Academy. It was suddenly announced that today their beloved headmistress Elena was going to retire and a new head of the academy would be chosen.

This news came out of nowhere even for the teachers. Everyone tried to meet with Elena to change her mind and decision but she just told them that, she would make some public announcements a bit later and they all could ask and tell her about anything later that time.

...

The whole auditorium was filled with over tens of thousands of people. According to normal logic, this amount of crowd should make the place very crowded. But Elena reality breaking space concept magic was able to easily fix this little problem.

"Hello everyone. As you all know, I, Elena had made the decision to retire from my position as the headmistress of this academy. I wasn't in this position for a very long time, only for a year or so, but that experience was great. I really thank all the staff and the students from the bottom of my heart."

"I took the position of the headmistress because the king requested me, and that was a turbulent time for the academy. But at that point I had already made up my mind to find a worthy successor for this position. And that will also be the time when I will take my leave."

"I'm actually an adventurer at heart. So as soon as I became assured that the academy would be in good hands, I made my decision to leave. And now is the right time."

"I can proudly say that everyone is doing very well in the academy. The teachers are excellent, the students are talented and hardworking, so the future of the academy was looking brighter than ever."

"And the person who will take you toward that brighter future is none other than, you all's favourite, Miss Selena. She had recently become an A ranker and her talent in magic is exceptional. I personally have trained her to become an exemplary Headmistress. So I believe she would be able to take this academy to new heights. And to assist her I have created a new post called, vice Head master / mistress. August and Ele will take those posts and will assist Selena in her work. Even tho I'm leaving the position of head mistress, that does not mean that I will sever my bond with the academy. One year might not look long but I had spent most of my time inside Myrilia kingdom here in the academy. So the academy has a special place in my heart. Do any of you have any questions ?"

Seeing that no one asked anything, Elena disappeared. One of the teachers bitterly muttered -

"How could we ask anything or try to stop you when you have said it all. We do not want to become an obstacle in your way. We don't want to stop you from fulfilling your heart's desire. Thank you very much, Elena-sensei for everything you've done for the academy."

Hearing this teacher, others also came back to their senses and thanked Elena loudly. Since that day, Elena was no longer a part of the Myrilia Royal Academy but her presence was felt everywhere inside the academy for years to come.

...

On the same day, Elena again invited all her personal disciples for dinner. She had done this many times in the past but this time it was different. The atmosphere was very heavy. All her disciples had a very sad and gloomy look on their faces. But Elena did not say anything to them while she was having dinner.

After everyone was done eating their dinner, Elena finally spoke up -

"No need to make that gloomy face, okay. You all are my disciples, so you have special privileges. Here, take these."

Saying so Elena handed everyone a token. That token also had a logo of a giant sword piercing a oriental dragon. At the bottom of the token something was written which was different for everyone but they were not able to read what was written there.

"The token that you have in your hand is called the Kashiver Token. This token also has another name which is "the blooming of hope". This represents that all of you have a very close relationship with me, like a master disciple relationship or a sibling-like relationship. What written there at the bottom is all of your names using a special divine language."

"It had several different functions and one of them is that it allowed everyone to communicate with each other no matter which location you're currently in inside this world."

"Other than that, you all can teleport to my side if I agreed to it anytime using this token. It also can create a barrier which could block almost all kinds of attacks, even an attack of a demigod. With this token in hand you all can always stay in contact with me."

Hearing her explanation every single one of them cheered. Their gloomy atmosphere was gone in an instance after knowing that they could always contact Elena and even could go to her even if she gave them permission. That means even when she was away, they could still meet her.

"Boss, how will we return after going to you. Do we have to make the trip back ourselves ?"

"No need. The token could send you back to the place from where you teleported."

"Awesome."

Octavia was now going to ask something again but Elena stopped her and said -

"I have another announcement. I will answer your questions after that. Okay, Via ?"

She nodded her head and Elena continued -

"I also plan to take one of you alongside me on my adventures for some time. So, who wants to go ? Raise your hands."

As soon as they heard it everyone raised their hands.

"It is as I expected. All of you want to go with me. But I can only take one of you. And who will that be ?"

Every one of them waited while holding their breaths for Elena to choose.

"Actually, now I am going to participate in a war between two countries. And during that time all of you have to prepare as after that I will take a test and the person who will perform the best, will come with me."

Andric asked -

"Can't we join the war ?"

"Hmm, about that, I would normally not stop you but this war is going to be a bit different. So without having the strength of at least a C rank, is will be tough for you all to join the war. All of you have progressed quite a lot but you all are still not ready to join a war of this degree. So, next time, okay ?"

Everyone replied positively and Elena finished the little meeting. They all stayed with Elena for the night as tomorrow Elena was going to leave for the frontier guardian, Rin.
