Chereads / Oglourine Academy / Chapter 38 - Chapter 37: Secretary

Chapter 38 - Chapter 37: Secretary

Just a few hours after Mrs. Burggraf's flying ship landed back at the Oglourine Academy. A herd of wild venomous birds approached the academy. Everything would be okay and no one would care about these creatures. However, the hidden protection system activated by itself. This means that something terrible was about to happen. 

At that time, Ophelia was in her office checking through the papers that Adelphia asked her to finish before the Autumn Festival. Instantly, the alert sound system rang loudly, not the yellow one, it was the red one. 

Outside, Olivia was watering the academy's plants and playing with cute animals. She saw everything. Magical statues in the academy started shooting rocky arrows at the herd of black birds in the sky. The academy cameras were transformed to high technological auto machine guns. The crystal orb of the water fountain in the campus constantly blasted magic balls at the herd. These things were too unexpected and terrifying. Olivia even saw the protectors of the academy and professors were running around to set up weapons and traps. 

Inside, Everado came up to Ophelia with some serious bad news. "We got an unwarning attack from dangerous monsters".

"What?!". Ophelia thought that she could have been chilling 3 days off without Adelphia. But no, she is now having to deal with chaos. 

Ophelia and Everado quickly dialed other professors and the principal. Unfortunately, their mighty principal is currently in another state for work. So they will have to deal with the problem all by themselves.

Everado and Ophelia splitted power to form a tactical plan, and all the students joined the battle. Ophelia was the leader of the magic army. While that, Everado was the leader of the warrior and knight army. The rest of the professors were helping people to defend the academy with an ancient ritual. Some of them joined the battle to take care of students. 

The venomous bird is not hard to kill, the only problem is that there are uncountable numbers of birds. They kept throwing themselves at the Oglourine Academy. After hours of fighting, finally the battle ended.

Nevertheless, it was just the beginning of a massive attack from evil creatures. These things emerged from the ground and attacked living things like zombies. 

However, Ophelia was a strategic leader. With her commanding skills, she's been battling the war successfully, no death. Even Everado admired her talents.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Dr. Burggraf called them to explain about our academy's situation?". Ophelia was talking to Everado.

"Yes she did". Everado reported.

He sighed and then he expressed his thoughts: "Hey Ophelia, I know this is an unexpected decision. But … ".

"What? Do you want to run away or something?". Ophelia blocked his mouth. "Don't you even dare to think about it! There are others trying to protect our academy".

"No, that wasn't what I meant". Everado clarified, he didn't mean it. "I was about to say that after this battle with insane wild monsters, I will demand the principal to make you become the Vice President".

"Why?". An unexpected news made her hands shake a little bit. "Are you leaving somewhere?".

"Yes, the High Magic Commision has invited me to work and study at their place". Everado brought out the letter with a blue rose symbol on it.

"The Order of the Blue Rose, one of the most powerful international High Magic Commision in the world?!". Ophelia was shocked, she has always been dreaming about being a part of the Blue Rose Commision. "That's fantastic, congratulations!".

"Yeah, my cousin is a friend of Princess Sapphire". Everado elucidated. "He deputed me to Princess Sapphire randomly and somehow, I accepted the letter".

"Also, my cousin will fill in the secretary seat after I leave the academy". Everado continued talking. 

"Well good luck, I'll miss you a lot". Ophelia poured something into the beaker of solution. "Now please give me a moment to complete the process".

Currently, Ophelia is making deadly potions to prepare for the next battle. Professors of the divination class have predicted that this whole army of black birds was only just the beginning. She saw that it was the Ashes Witch who did that. The witch has polluted the vital stream of the mountain. That's why all those creatures suddenly hunt humans and run out of their hives. 

Ophelia's majors are Alchemy and Chemistry. She is a Controller/Healer. She makes potion pouches for wanderers, medicines for the city hospital, and efficient drugs to grow plants. Ophelia really loves Oglourine Academy. Even though her dream is working for the Order of the Blue Rose. However, she devotes almost ⅓ of her life into developing and building the Oglourine Academy. One is a dream and one is home. Ophelia doesn't like to choose one another, she picks both.

Princess Sapphire, she is one of the headmasters of the Blue Rose Order. She has the ability to be a prophet. She can see the past, future, and the fate of anyone or anything that she wants to. She is a family member of the royal family of the Chrystine Kingdom, the country of gems and crystals. She is the favorite child of Queen Diamond. 

A ringing tone broke the quiet moment: "Buzz Buzz Buzz Buzz".

"Hello" - Ophelia picked up the phone.

"Ophelia, I'm already done making health potions for everyone". Olivia said proudly. "Nonetheless, I have bad news for you".

"Good job, what is it?". Ophelia was already prepared for the worst.

"The festive area won't be able to celebrate after the battle". Olivia sent her a text message. "You can check out these images".

"Let me see". Ophelia turned on her tablet. "Oh my god! Everything is debris and a mess". Images were too much to look at, all her efforts are now gone.

"And no time to be upset". Olivia delineated the situation. "The Reconnaissance Force of our academy has investigated crazy monsters". Olivia took a breath. "Yes, a troop of creatures is coming, led by someone".

"So you're saying that the Abyssal Force wants to demolish our home?!". Ophelia was shocked when she thought of the most horrifying outcome.

"We don't know". Olivia sent the image of the leader. "But based on the outlook, that person doesn't look like an Abyssal warrior".

Olivia zoomed in and zoomed out the picture, she kept introspecting the man or could be the woman: "Yeah, this person doesn't look like an Abyssal warrior". Ophelia assumed. "More like a Dragonborn warrior".

The leader of the crazy monster troop wears full black metal armor, holds a long heavy spear on his/her hand, while riding on a winged monster. 

Maria, Esserine, Adelphia, Phoebe, Kayden, and Lucas are separated from the Oglourine Academy. The Wolf island isn't a safe place, however, it's still better than being at the academy right now. 

Rich people live in a poor conditional place, will they be able to survive until the battle ends? Let's pray for the academy's troops. Hope that they can bring victory to the country, not the loss and sadness.
