"But yes, Teacher Carol is precisely right. The last two Elements that are missing are Poison and Rock, this time I'm not surprised that not a lot of people know this since it is not very well known. As for the reason for this… well you can already take a guess, most users of the Poison Element are Assassin, or Chemists because it actually helps them in their field in some way, I don't know how, but it is just like that." Mio said, but as soon as those words came out of her mouth, almost every student turned their heads behind to look at their Principal who was now stuck in an awkward position.
"No need to look at Principal Alice like that, she doesn't have it. I just merely used it as an example, because it is the truth, but it doesn't mean that every Assassin is like that. Maybe about 90 to 95% are Assassins because it's Poison, it would be easier to kill their targets that way. As for the Rock Element… it is even more unknown." Mio said and just as she was thinking of something that she could use as an example, a thought popped into her mind. She then begins to remember something.
"Anyone in this room can answer me, it doesn't matter whether it is a student or a teacher. Just answer me straight, does anyone of you know or have heard of the name… Axel Lexar?" Mio asked as she wasn't clearly sure if they knew that name.
It was a name that was not only famous but could even shake the whole world, just that man's presence alone makes anyone shiver in fear, whether it was just a friend or an enemy, they would be scared of the man. Out of all the people that she has fought in the last 1000 years, Axel was the only one who beat her and it wasn't even a close much, it was basically a one-sided match against him.
That was the time when she thought whether her Master had given Axel Lexar the same gifts or more powerful gifts than her because out of everyone that she fought, she was always ahead of them. It wasn't like by just 50 or 60%, she was stronger than anyone by more than 90%, she was basically unbeatable. But Axel Lexar made her think the opposite because of how powerful he was.
Sadly he has already passed away, but he was a Legend among Legends. But his name was slowly forgotten by the people even though he did many things in his life, she doesn't even know why, but for some reason, it went like that.
"It's just as I suspected… no one knows his name, how about this, I'm going to use his title. If no one still gets it, then the Education System is truly a piece of shit. Since Axel Lexar didn't work, does anyone in this room have heard the title… Shattered Dragon?" A couple of seconds had already passed and no one raised their hands, they were just talking to each other asking if they had heard of such a person.
Just as Mio was about to give up in frustration due to no one knowing Axel Lexar, she suddenly saw someone raise their hand but quickly took it down when that person saw Mio looking at her. But Mio isn't going to let this chance, escape, she personally came down from the stands and approached the woman.
"Does the Principal know the man that I'm speaking of?" Mio asked and at this point, it was already too late for Alice to escape as she was already in front of her. She then clenched her fist as she began to think of the things that she had heard in the past about the man that Mio was talking about, but thinking about it made her frustrated and something more inside.
She initially raised her hand because she had heard both the name and title of the man that Mio was speaking of, but mostly it came from her eavesdropping on her Mother's chattering. So she doesn't really have an idea.
The only thing that she knows is that the man that Mio was talking about was affiliated with the Primordial Goddess of Death according to what she had heard, and that his strength rivaled her. But that wasn't the reason that made her frustrated, the real reason was that the same man was heavily connected with the Grand Saintess which was Mio who was in front of her.
They were affiliated because there was a rumor that the Shattered Dragon or Axel Lexar had an intimate relationship with the Grand Saintess and from the rumors that she was hearing from her Mother, it seemed that it was more than just a girlfriend-boyfriend thing. This was the real reason for her frustration and it only amplified when she remembered what her Mother said to her, that there was only one person in this world who could make Mio happy with a compliment.
Her Mother had already teased about Mio being married even though she wasn't, but she still didn't clear the "misunderstanding" that there was only one person in this world who could make her happy with a compliment, and that made her believe that that person was Axel Lexar. Even if her Mother said that she didn't see Mio on a date herself, maybe it was just natural because Mio doesn't want to be seen by anyone, thus keeping their relationship a secret.
"Yes… I have heard of that name from my Mother if I remember correctly. The only part that I remember is that the Shattered Dragon was in the same generation as the Primordial Goddess of Death and she also said that he was the only one who could rival her strength. I also heard that he has some special ties with the Grand Saintess." Alice especially specified the last part as if she was questioning Mio which made the other woman look at her confusedly because it was something she did not accept.
'Is she angry? But I was just asking her… never mind I'll just ask her later.'
Just as Mio was thinking about questioning Alice later, there was already a round ruckus everywhere because of the statement that their Principal had just given. But it wasn't just the students, it was basically everyone inside the hall, no one would ever think that there was actually someone who could rival the strength of their Legendary Hero who was the pinnacle of everything in this World.
"Now… stay quiet all of you. I know the words that the Principal just said seem absurd and all of you are thinking that it is fake, but it is not. The Shattered Dragon was really the only one who could match up to her, now my next words will seem more absurd and fake to all of you, but it is merely the truth. You can even ask Lady Solar right there to get a clarification if my words are true or not." Mio said as soon as she saw Solar who was peeking outside and dragged her in and because of the eyes of all the people, she was forced inside.
"It's been a long time since I have seen you… Lady Mio, but it seems that you are still the same. You still like to drag people into something they don't want to, you really seem like an old lady." Solar who had no choice immediately bad-mouthed Mio, but it only earned a chuckle,
"Old lady? For your information, I'm only 352 years old, though how about you? Oh yeah… you're already 894 years old you are more than twice older than me if my math is right." As soon as those words came out of her mouth, the entire place was silent because no one expected such an outcome.
A Teacher saying such things to one of the most powerful beings on Earth is not something you can see every day. But just as things escalated even further, Mio had enough of making fun of Solar as she finally got her revenge on her when she revealed her identity of being the Grand Saintess.
"But Lady Solar can correct me on this… but isn't the Shattered Dragon the one who defeated the Primordial Goddess of Death in a one-on-one match? But it wasn't a close match, but a one-sided match where the Shattered Dragon had completely defeated her." Mio spoke and hearing this, Solar knew that she couldn't get her revenge now and just let it pass for now.
"Yes… you are correct. It seems that you really know your stuff Lady Mio, that was classified information, but then again… it's not rare for you to know such information. But yes, dear students, what your Teacher Mio just said is all true. Axel Lexar better known as the Shattered Dragon put the Primordial Goddess of Death on her knees. As for what my daughter said he was in a close relationship with the Grand Saintess that is also true because he was actually one of the few who had balls of steel to go up to the Grand Saintess and declare his love for her." Solar saw her opportunity to make Mio again and she was going to take it even if there were only two people who could understand what she really meant, it was worth it. Especially when she saw how quiet Mio got.
