"A prince… or more commonly, a candidate as heir for the throne. When a candidate has been chosen, he will be named as the crown prince and will be the only one to be called as 'Mirzo.'"
Inna's eyes widened in surprise. So, does that mean that Raghnall is… royalty?
Oh shit. Did she just abuse some big shot?
Solomon continued his explanation, failing to notice Inna's pale face.
"Well, there are instances that it is used as a mildly insulting joke. 'Mirzo' is usually used as a joke to refer to spoiled rich boys. That's because most usually act arrogant and unrestrained as though they were 'princes' of the country."
With this, Inna's face recovered some color but she grew more confused instead.
So…. Is he royalty? Or is he just a spoiled rich boy?
"But enough about that, I came here for a much more important purpose."
Solomon cut her train of thought as he began chanting. His finger was covered in white light and he began to write in mid-air a familiar word.
"What are you doing?"
Inna looked curiously at the familiar floating letters.
After a second, Solomon put down his hand and looked at her seriously.
"I am not sure if you still remembered that time. But, two months ago when you first arrived, I had your innate talent checked in my evaluation stone. It showed some weird results that I've never seen before. And this was the result under the talent level limit of your Combat ability."
Solomon gestured towards the floating latin word.
"After months of researching deeply into it, I finally figured out what it says!"
He looked at her in glee and pride. He finally was able to gain a small step forward in his Soul Research.
"It says 'Mors!'"
Inna's face was thoroughly unimpressed. Her eyes were blank as she stared at him.
"And?"
"Wha—What do you mean 'and'?!"
He spluttered out in disbelief.
He had to search thousands of books just to decipher the strange writings!
The language the words were made of were very foreign in their country!
It was like an ancient hidden language!
In fact, the people who knew about this strange language is so few that they can only be counted by a single hand!
Yet she didn't even look surprised!
"Didn't you hear me?! Those writings means 'Mors'! To be able to read it, it's such a great finding!"
Inna couldn't really understand why he's so proud of the fact that he could read the Latin word.
She already knew what it was the first time she looked at it. Heck, she even knew its meaning. And now he's here bragging about being able to read it after two months?
Inna is once again reminded on the fact that she actually travelled into a different world. Sometimes she forgets the fact that they weren't on Earth. After all, since she travels a lot, she's gotten used to seeing bizarre places. And the actual reason why she was able to easily adapt was that she actually treated it as though she was just in vacation.
"Never mind about that then. Besides, I still need to look into the reason why it appeared anyway."
Solomon sighed in defeat and decided to just change the topic to avoid further embarrassment on his part.
"So, how's your first day here? Any thoughts about your master's precious academy?"
Inna looked back into the events that happened to her today. During her whole experience, she truly had fun in attending a new school. Although there were some irritating pests, overall, she had a great time learning things and meeting new people, no matter how weird or mean they were. It made her think back on her high school days; spending a day going around campus, meeting your new classmates, fooling around, and getting into arguments. So, overall, she had a wonderful day.
Well, except for one thing…
"Hmmm… Everything's really going great as far as I know. Well, except for some annoying pain in the asses but they're manageable. Oh, and of course, let's not forget. It seems that someone I never offended hates me in the academy."
Solomon raised his eyebrows in surprise. Though he has a clue on who it was.
"Someone you never offended? Who is it?"
"That Elder Fang. He seems to hate my existence. Heck, he's been haunting me ever since I entered the Academy. Are all Elders these...… opinionated?"
"No, of course not. It's just that Elder Fang is known to be very…. 'protective' of the school. Well, it's mainly because he's the oldest Elder in the academy. He was there when Eldora Academy was just in its earlier years. But most of the time, his words may seem cruel but he doesn't really mean any harm. He's just a bit obsessive on the things regarding the academy since he treats it as though it's his baby. And even I have a bit of trouble regulating his behavior and views."
"And speaking of regulating his behavior, earlier during the day, there was a report regarding him breaking school protocol. I had him punished accordingly but it seems another report came in that he's been oppressing some students. But there weren't any clear evidence on that matter so I had no way to bring it against him. Do you perhaps know the students he's been oppressing?"
Inna gave him a flat look as she pointed at herself.
"Me."
