The Unsurpassed Maiden - Chapter 150

On the other side of the kingdom…

“Se Heon! Slow down!” A female voice cried out as she followed the boy who was walking with fast and huge strides. “Slow down! Hey!”

However, Se Heon didn’t stop walking like he didn’t hear what the other party said at all.

When the both of them rounded the corner, another voice followed after them. “Se Heon! Shang Min! Hey!”

Jong In ran as fast as he could so he could catch up with the other two students. When he reached them he huffs out and asks, “I heard what happened. Where are you two going?”

However, just like what happened to Shang Min earlier, Jong In also didn’t get any answer from the other two. So he opted to stay silent and continued following Se Heon and Shang Min to wherever they were going.

Jong In didn’t dare question any of them where they were bound to go but the moment he realized which path they were taking he immediately knew that it had something to do with the sudden disappearance of his dear friend Mi Young and another student as well.

Se Heon didn’t waste any time as he held the double doors of the principal’s office and pushed them open.

The young man didn’t even spare any of the guards any glance as he walked directly towards the principal’s table.

The two soldiers who were guarding the door were about to reprimand the three students who suddenly barged inside the principal’s office but as soon as the principal held out her hand, the soldiers stopped and went back to their posts.

Se Heon slams both of his hands down at the principal’s table. “I demand an explanation.”

Principal Oh remained calm despite the young man’s outburst. “Mr. Jeon, I demand you three to sit down first before you start shouting at me.”

“Tell me where she is.”

“Mr. Jeon, please sit down.”

“Where is she? I know Mi Young, she’s not someone who would easily leave this place without any explanation!” Se Heon says once more while glaring at the principal who was still surprisingly calm despite the student’s outburst. Shang Min and Jong In were both looking at each other, afraid of what the principal would do to their friend if he continued shouting at her like that.

Principal Of sighs before taking off her glasses. She wipes it using her handkerchief and puts it again on her eyes while looking at Se Heon. “I won’t talk to you unless you stay calm and sit down.”

Shang Min nudged JongIn by her side before the other party looked at her. They silently talked through their eyes before they nodded at each other and the both of them grabbed Se Heon’s arms before forcing him to sit down on the chair in front of the principal’s desk.

“Se Heon, come on man I know you’re mad and agitated but please stop shouting at the principal or we’ll get in trouble.” Jong In whispers to his friend’s ear despite knowing Se Heon’s wrath. He was afraid of the other party’s reaction but good thing Se Heon decided to stay calm rather than shouting at him as well.

Jong In let out a sigh of relief when he saw Se Heon finally relax on his seat. However, despite that his shoulders are still tense. Jong In only tore off his gaze from his friend when Principal Oh cleared her throat.

“Seeing as you three are here. I believe you already heard of the news.” Principal Oh starts while looking each student in the eye one by one. “Regarding your question, Mr. Jeon, yes, your friend Mi Young as well as another student, Kwang Soo left the academy’s walls without permission thus—”

“I don’t believe it.” Se Heon rebuts while looking the principal in the eye.

However, Principal Oh didn’t acknowledge what he said as she still continued to say her piece. “—both of them are hereby expelled from the academy.”

“Why would you expel them!? They did nothing wrong!” Se Heon announces while glaring at the principal. He couldn’t let Mi Young get expelled for nothing. He knows how special and important it is for Mi Young to get this scholarship and he is willing to do anything just to prove that his friend didn’t do anything wrong. Even if it means going against the whole academy.

“Clearly you know the rules of the academy. Once a student leaves the school’s walls without permission from any of the heads, he or she is immediately expelled from the academy.” Principal Oh says without blinking. Her face remained stoic and void of any emotions. “Kang Mi Young and Lee Kwang Soo left the academy’s walls and never said anything to the staff, therefore they were immediately expelled from the academy.”

“I know Mi Young, she wouldn’t do anything stupid like getting out of the academy without any reason!” Se Heon continues to argue as he looks at the principal without backing down. “I know how important it is for her to be able to get enrolled in this academy.”

“No matter what her reason is, she still left the school. That’s the academy’s rules and I can’t do anything about it.” Principal Oh says.

“Can’t you do something? I mean, you know she’s a wonderful student and she’s very talented! How can you let someone as talented as her get expelled from this academy?” Se Heon questions the principal. While he knows how important it is for Mi Young to get enrolled in Mistwood Academy, he also knows how the principal views his friend.

Mi Young is the only student who scored perfect during the entrance exam, which no one ever did for the past millennia. Aside from that, she is also a first year Mage who already has mana power and energy as strong as an Intermediate Mage. Moreover, Mi Young can at least control three elements which is very rare as well. So, Se Heon knows how much the academy values that little girl.

“I know how talented she is, Mr. Jeon. Trust me, I did anything to reason out with the heads but they have already made their decision.” Principal Oh finally says while looking at Se Heon and the other two students behind him. “I know how sad it is for you guys to have your friend expelled but we can’t do anything about it anymore. Mi Young kenw the academy’s rules but she still went against it.”

“Mi Young is a smart girl—”

“Like I said, I know how talented and what a pure and rare gem Ms. Kang Mi Young is. But the academy has already made their decision. I’m very sorry, Mr. Jeon.” Principal Oh says with a look of disappointment.

Se Heon had his head hanging low as he continued to glare at the carpeted floor below them. He was gripping both of his knees as he bit his lips. He was trying  his very best not to burst out inside the principal’s room, so without saying anything, he stood up, looked Principal Oh straight in the eye and bowed.

“Thank you for your guidance Principal Oh. I have learned a lot from you even before.” Se Heon starts to say. He bows at the surprised teacher once more before continuing his speech, “I believe I have nothing else that is holding me back here inside these walls. Therefore, I have made the decision to drop out. I hope you respect my decision.”

Shang Min and Jong In gasp at what Se Heon just announced. Even Principal Oh couldn’t register what the young man had just said.

“Y-You’re dropping out? W-Why?” Principal Oh asks while looking at the student with mortified eyes.

“I don’t see any reason to stay here. I will do my best outside the academy so I wouldn’t bring shame to you and to the rest.” Se Heon says once more.

“Are you sure about dropping out?” Principal Oh asks, still trying to process her student’s words.

“Positive.” Se Heon says with a firm nod.

“Se-Se Heon…” Shang Min says with widened eyes. “Where will you go then? Your family would—”

“They have already casted me out. So they have nothing to do with me anymore.” Se Heon says without looking at Shang Min. “Besides, I have made the decision to look after Mi Young and the others.”

“What?” Jong In, Shang Min, and even Principal Oh said at the same time.

“Since the school wouldn’t dare look further into this issue, I will do it myself.”

“Se Heon, you’re out of your mind. You can’t do anything!” Principal Oh announces.

However, Se Heon just bowed at her once more before he started to walk out of the principal’s office.

“Se Heon, where are you going!?” Principal Oh cries out. However, just like a deaf person, Se Heon continued walking like he didn’t hear anything at all. “Se Heon!”

When the principal and the other two student’s went out of the principal’s office, Se Heon was already a few meters away from them. Principal Oh was starting to get frustrated so without thinking she shouted, “Se Heon! Come back here! You can’t do anything against the enemies!”
