Chapter 14 Opening Ceremony and Riot (2)

"When you encounter trouble, no matter how nervous you are, the problem will not be solved by itself. Lina, you are too serious, so you can never find a partner."

Alberta shrugged her shoulders and said with a mischievous smile.

"It's not your turn to say such things, as you, the principal who also can't find a lover... If it is really as the prophecy says, there is a possibility that a demon king who intends to destroy the world will appear among this class of students."

"Really? You were so worried when the youngest daughter of the Marquis Rosk entered school. You also said the same thing when the adopted daughter of the Elect family summoned the ancient species to enter school.

If this world could really be destroyed so easily by some demon king, it would have been destroyed long ago."

Alberta waved her hand nonchalantly, not taking Sabrina's worries to heart.

Her attitude made Sabrina, who was too straightforward, a little dissatisfied.

But Sabrina could only sigh helplessly.

"Principal Alberta... Oh, forget it. It's not the first time that you have been disrespecting prophecy."

"I don't despise prophecy, I just think it's stupid to believe in something that has no basis.

And assuming that things really turn out as the prophecy says, then no matter what we do next, there is no way to avoid the worst-case scenario, right? "

"That's what I said..."

Sabrina had a troubled expression and could not quite accept Alberta's statement.

"I actually believe in fate, but I also think that believing in fate is a pretty stupid thing to do."

Alberta propped her cheek on her hand and stretched her slender fingers toward an old book on the desk.

She stroked the cover of the book with her slender fingers, slowly scratching the title of the book and the blank that was left without the author.

“If everything in the world is determined by fate, then whether I resist fate or choose to accept fate, and the results after making the choice are all part of fate.

If that's the case, what's the point of me worrying about these things?"

"Principal Alberta...you've started saying weird things again."

"Ahaha, sorry~ I've been under a lot of pressure lately, Lina, please accompany me to relax."

Alberta laughed and spoke to Sabrina like a little child.

"Ah~ Please be a little calmer. So, this year, just like the year before last and the year before last, will we not take any countermeasures?"

Sabrina asked after sighing deeply, as if she felt that Alberta was a bit troublesome.

"No, let's make some preparations. After all, there are six students who will summon ancient species this year. If we don't do anything, those useless nobles in the Imperial Palace will start nagging us again."

Alberta felt very disgusted when she thought of the nobles in the palace.

"Six? Shouldn't it be five?"

"Isn't there a girl named Rosalie B. Mansfield who was unable to arrive at school on time because of a natural disaster in her home territory? The puppets that girl summoned must also be of ancient species."

"How do you know about this?"

"Through your favorite prophecy, Linna."

Alberta said with a playful curl of her lips, avoiding a direct answer to the question.

"...Please stop joking. If you are not comfortable answering, please tell me directly."

Sabrina felt a little angry and said with a slight twitch on her cheek.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing. This is just my speculation. And maybe the ancient species she summoned through the pseudo-Gate of Destiny will be a nine-tailed fox like the adopted daughter of the Elect family."

"What is the basis for your speculation... Excuse me, I shouldn't ask this question."

Before Alberta started to explain, Bersalina realized that there seemed to be a deeper story behind this.

So she tactfully stopped asking for details.

"It doesn't matter. Tomorrow I'll trouble you to make some small adjustments to the Star Roulette for class divisions, so that all the students with ancient alchemical puppets can be gathered in one class. It will be easier to keep an eye on the troublesome little ghosts when they are gathered together.

As for the selection of their class tutor... just call Michelle over. After all, I have raised her for so many years and provided her with research funding. I have to let her do something for me."

"Ms. Michelle... I don't doubt her ability, but is it really okay to let Miss Michelle be the class tutor? Moreover, she has almost no experience as a tutor, and some tutors in the academy may be dissatisfied."

Sabrina showed a somewhat embarrassed expression and confirmed with Alberta who looked confident.

"Although that girl is super lazy, she will still do what needs to be done. As for those stubborn people in the academy, leave them to me. After all, this is also one of the responsibilities of being the principal."

"Now that you've said so, Principal... I understand. I will also help you convince the opposing tutors."

"Well, thank you, Lina."

"You don't have to be polite to me... But it's a good thing that you thought of tampering with the Star Roulette. However, many students are looking forward to using the Star Roulette to divide their classes. If this matter is exposed, it will destroy the dreams of many students."

"I just asked you to adjust the students who have ancient species puppets. Apart from this, do you have anything else to do?"

"Well... the alchemical materials that were prepared before the start of the school year were completely consumed by the Pseudo-Life Gate this morning. Regarding the budget for purchasing a new batch of alchemical materials..."

Sabrina spoke somewhat awkwardly, as if she was also troubled by the matter.

"Wait a moment, I remember the newly purchased alchemical materials had a total volume of over 100 tons. How come they were all used up in just one morning?"

Alberta interrupted Sabrina in surprise.

"To be honest, I was also very surprised, but there are still many things we don't understand about ancient species. So even if this happens, it's not completely impossible, right?"

"Tsk, could it be that the son of that brat Elect really summoned a dragon for me? I need to contact him right now and quickly pay the school compensation."

“Principal Alberta, even if Duke Elect was very generous to Illya Alia, your willful behavior is not appropriate, right?

Sabrina complained in a dumbfounded manner.

"Woo! But all those donations have been eaten up by that kid's son!"
