The MPI, the pce was...not calm; Elizabeth had thought it would be calm with all the third-year students going on their apprenticeships, the sed year going to the internships and all. But instead what she found was a school bustling with activity with students going all over the pce running, flying and some even telep (Or attempting to anyway).

  "Ah sorry, miss!" A girl with purple hair that had a weird cradient into yellow crashed into Elizabeth; the girl was wearing what looked like Victorian-era clothes, too.

  "It's okay," Elizabeth said as she helped the girl stand up on her own, even while the girl had crashed into Elizabeth. Elizabeth had barely felt it, with her stats it was nearly impossible for a normal human to make her move.

  More sirl who barely looked like she had gotten into csses.

  "Obviously, it was a mistake. But even so, a Lady must apologize even if it wasn't her fault." The irl said haughtily; Elizabeth took this ce to take stock of who she had bumped with.

  The girl sounded like she was more prideful than her, and that was w since Elizabeth had awakehe Gem of Pride after all.

  "...right.." Elizabeth said, the irl was...pitiful, she barely had the same amount of chest as Rossie, and unlike Rossie, she didn't look dangerous(ly cute).

  Also one of her eyes urple while the other was blue.

  "Well, if that was all I have work to do." And like that the irl left, no apologies (Ho one) or eveation of who she was. She merely left like nothing.

  "Well, that was rude." Elizabeth said shaking her head and resuming her walk through the campus.

  Most of what she was seeing was stuff that she had hoped to do while in css, instead of what had happeo her, her first year she had ended up in a terrible act that had brought for the [Advent].

  That made her miss most of her sed year, and what little she mao have, she spent it away from school training for the finals...

  And now that she was ohird year, she was going to spend most if not all of it away, depending in how this went. As far as she had found at least, it seemed as if there wasn't much to do ohird year on the school.

  Most of what they were going to do had to do with optimizing their skill builds to make sure they were doing the best they could. And now that Elizabeth had lost most, if not all, her skills. Then there was nothing that she could learn here.

  And she would end with many questions directed at her, actually...she may be in some danger if there was a fight ing her way, she had discarded almost all of her skills after all. She still had some of course, mostly things that she couldn't do without.

  Lately she had been fighting mostly with pure manipution skills, some spells sprinkled here and there, and if worst came to worst, she had her armory and her s. Both of them.

  So even while that she was still...

  "Excuse me miss?" A udent popped up, this one had a full bck hair, that was a new one, usually these weren't as on as one would think. At least not in a setting like the one Elizabeth was in.

  Bck Hair was usually tied to the [Tainted] or, well, now the Shadow users.

  "I'll o see some identification, you are currently way outside the visitation building," The student said, he looked to be probably a first grader.

  The question was, why was he asking her as if she was a visitor?

  Granted, she wasn't wearing her uniform at the moment, but even so, surely he...ht, she was trying that new method that Lily had taught them, so currently, her mana emissions were probably close to none, right?

  "Here," Elizabeth said smiling, she pulled out her student ID from thin air, the student didn't seem surprised by that.

  "Miss, even if you fed a student ID there is no way a civilian would be accepted, even with the [System] giving a boost to most civilians beyond what they usually would have." The student sighed at Elizabeth, a very tired sigh, "Please don't make me restrain you."

  Oho?

  Elizabeth could almost hear Rossie's frustrated profanities and Rena's amused smirk.

  "Please do so," Elizabeth said, smirking, "I'm going to speak with Evangeline, so I assume you are a student cil member?"

  "Miss...If you were a student you would know that," The student sighed pointing at a badge on his chest, "I am part of the student enforcers under Discipline ite, I'll cast a restraining spell. Please do not resist, you will hurt yourself."

  And Immediately afterward, Elizabeth saw a magic circle form atop one of his hands and poi her; the spell maed afterward in the form of a butterfly that nded on Elizabeth's hand.

  "Hmm....[Restraint], [Weakness] and...A [Stun] tied to a [ditional] spell node?" Elizabeth said, eyeing the spell, "That's a fanpound spell, so you were a mage and not a [Hero] didate?"

  "...So you studied before ing; even so, you 't deceive a mana sensor; you are at best at 5 points on INT and WIS." The disciplinary member said, "I'll bring a female member to escort you, please try to not move. I don't want to write another file for a wounded civilian."

  "Sure, but only the 'Not writing another file' thing," Elizabeth said excerting some strength on her hands, it barely needed a budge before the spell broke, "You may o add some extra oomph into it, perhaps something like: [Bind] + [Restraint] + [Mana] + [Amp] + [Merge] + [Stun] = Bad boys do dinner."

  Elizabeth weaved the spell nodes, writing the magic circles in the air, just like how Rossie had done, only her writing was both faster and more refihe spell wove together and fused into a modified [Stun Person] version.

  Only hers had more plicated make and it would probably require at least a B-Tier Magical Girl ical Guardian to e and dispel, perhaps a B-Tier Hero could too? Elizabeth wasn't too sure about what they had on their skill list these days.

  "Don't think too badly on me for that, you didn't listen after all." Elizabeth said summoning her shadows to pull towards her her Student ID, "Also, you should have a way to verify if these things are legit or not, maybe ime che that?"

  Elizabeth smirked as the student tried to move but her spell remaialward stopping him from moving, she could even see his mana core spinning trying to cast some type of spell, obviously since her spell also bound his mana, that was impossible.

  Perhaps he could use his skills? If his mana even could move.

  "Oh, by the way, I am sure you saw it on the ID. But I'm Elizabeth Starbright, a third-year student here... So yeah, sorry about the mana thing. But I am testing something one of the [Heroes] under which I am with the apprenticeship thing is teag me, so my mana is kind of invisible right now?" Elizabeth wasn't sure how to expin what she was doing, not like he could uand right now...actually was he even awake? "I'll go to speak with Evangeline now, I think your boss was there too? I'll ask him if you got released or not, but for now stay there."

  And so Elizabeth started walking once again, this time however, she attempted to manipute how much mana her dantians released. She tweaked the feeling till she was able tute how much aura was released to the outside.

  Just above what she was feeling from the other students, so that meant that she should look like a D-Tier? Perhaps aier? Elizabeth wasn't quite sure; she would tiweaking that as she was going, she did want to make it look like she was still a C-Tier. Sihat was how they thought of her before leaving at the end of sed grade.

  She hem to think of her as someone weak, that way she could get away with most of her pns, and then release all her power and scare them.

  That would be fun, but for now she had more important issues to deal with. Like finding the student cil building, st time she had been guided there by Selen after all. And she hadn't been paying too much attention since she was busy panig about what was happening.

  Also, her brain was that of a bimbo at the moment, so at the time, her brain didn't have many thoughts. Or more like, there were no thoughts only bimbohere. Perhaps some bread?

  Even so, Elizabeth carried on. Watg the young, impressionable minds of the udents marvel at the wonders of magic. All the while walking around searg for a way to

  "Excuse me, did you see an old dy that looked like a civilian e by?" A female student came to stop her, she was also wearing the full uniform, "I would give you a warning for not wearing your uniform but we are searg for a possible Vilin spy."

  Elizabeth measured the girl that had stopped her, she was...kind of cute, but not too much, she had a bck hair that was just above her shoulders, she would look cuter with longer hair, she also had blue eyes, and that was a weird thing that Elizabeth couldn't get used to, most of the shadow users she had meet tely had the same blue eyes.

  Not as pure as hers, but blue heless.

  "No?" Elizabeth answered, "What happened?"

  y around? Elizabeth didn't want to deal with side quests at the moment.

  "One of our members got frozen by some weird skill, his test report was that he had found a woman that looked like a civilian walking around, he didn't gave description and only said she looked older enough to not be a student." The girl answered looking around, "We found him frozen a minute ago when I went to pick the women, they are attempting to unseal him, if you see any suspicious activity report it to the ticket system."

  ...Wasn't that report about her? She didn't look that old.

  That one had bad eyesight, firmed.

  "ht, I need some help." Elizabeth said, grabbing the girl by the arm before she was able to leave, " you point me in the dire towards the student cil?"

  "....It's on the sub building, that way." The girl said trying to release herself from Elizabeth's hand, "Also don't stop a disciplinary member while on the job, that is a good way to get warnings on your file. If I didn't have to deal with this, then I would be filing a warning."

  And in that tohe girl used a skill to attempt and release herself from Elizabeth's hand, the feeling she got was of space, so perhaps a bliher way, Elizabeth released her hold over the girl and allowed her to teleport away.

  She didn't want to make more issues to the pirl, what she did make sure, was to send some extra mana to the spell hat she had made for the restraint oher student, she didn't feel like leaving him free before diime.

  Saying that Elizabeth was old? Rude.

  She was on her prime, if anything she should look youhan she was! And they reported her as an [Adult Woman]?

  Rude!

  She was young! Granted, she was about to be eighteen, so teically,she would be an adult woman...But that was in like five months!

  Oh god, in five months, she would be of age...her V-Card was going to be lost in five months...

  "Focus Elizabeth, focus..." Elizabeth decided to not think too much about that, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then opened her eyes slowly and started walking in the dire she had been guided to.

  For now, she o tiweaking her dantian to make sure she was giving the right mana signature, or well, the right amount of may. She had never had to worry about that since most of her skills dealt with that. But since her skills now were gone and she was going the work manually...

  Yeah, her info sec skils were more sturdy now, so that was something. But giving the mana sign of being a C grade and having the may of a civilian...yeah, that was obviously something that didn't happen.

  It woudl be like screaming 'Hey, I'm hidding my real status'. Something that Elizabeth didn't want to do at the moment, she wao look as normal as possible.

  Something that was hard to achieve when one was as geous, talented and powerful as Elizabeth, and that was leaving aside how humble she was.

  But that was for ter to worry about, for now Elizabeth focused on her upper dantian, the ohat was housed on her head...in a pce that she decided didn't want to think about, having a marble stu your brain should cause several issues, but somehow the one she had didn't seem to cause such problems.

  Was the Dantian made up of intangible stuff? She sure as hell hoped so, either way she focused oupid sphere and made sure to release enough mana to support her middle dantian.

  This way, betweewo, she would give just barely enough mana to her mana aura so that she would look like a C-Tier. And that was just in time as Elizabeth was nearing the building she had been poio.

  The thing reeked of stuck up people, so that romising, at least

  "Hello, what we do for you today?" The receptionist said as soon as Elizabeth walked into the building.

  The site was empty besides a few students with the weird badges of the disciplinary ittee and some with bands of the student cil.

  "...Starbright," Also a very annoyed white-haired male student.

  "...I fot your name, but yes. That's me, Elizabeth Starbright." Elizabeth answered to the member of the student cil that she barely ied with.

  "Asher," The white-haired guy said, "Asher Sterling, The Disciplinary ite Chairman."

  Oh.....the guy at the top of the anization of the student who Elizabeth left stunned...

  "What we do for you Starbright? I was uhe impression that you returned only tister the [Hero] or [Vilin] with who you will be taking an apprenticeship with." Asher said standing straight and looking at Elizabeth with narrowed eyes, some of the students with the badge turraight to attention and turheir attention to them.

  "...Do someone really say when they will be under a Vilin?" Elizabeth asked batriguied, she doubted some would be that dumb right?

  "Some do," Asher answered, "When they are too proud to uand that they are dumb for telling the geion of heroes who they will be with, those that do usually return in a stretcher and end up not w as members of the superpowered unity."

  That sounded abht, Elizabeth also would not like to work with someone who advertised her identity...if she was in the business of keeping it secret.

  But that was beside the point, "Well...I do want to make sure that the school knows that we will be studying uwo members of the [ars]." Elizabeth said, smirking, "I have Rossie and Rena's paperwork with me."

  "You could have filed that with the receptionist, you didn't o e here for that." Asher said without a care in the world.

  Wasn't that amazing?

  Though public.

  "I also o speak with Evangeline," Elizabeth said , at her words Asher's demeanor turned razor sharp and Elizabeth could feel the Lightni. "So now you know why I o e here."

  Elizabeth said as she let some of her Lightning course through her body, if Asher wao fight with that...well, she could test her might against anhtning user...that should be a good workout for her.
