"The Ultimate: The Descent of the Holy Spirit!"

As soon as the words fell, white angelic illusions descended from the sky, surrounding Princess Annie. White light flowed from them into Princess Annie, quickly healing the wound on her waist and replenishing her HP bar.

The angelic illusions slowly faded, and Princess Annie opened her eyes.

"Your Highness, you're awake? Thank goodness!" exclaimed the guard by her side.

"Huh? What just happened? And why are you here, Fir?" Princess Annie looked at us, puzzled, and then noticed the bloodstain on her clothes.

"Just now... ah! Right, there was a black-clothed person who suddenly attacked me, and then fled!"

"I deeply apologize, Your Highness. I completely failed to notice when that person approached or when they left. I only realized it when you collapsed..." My goodness, how can you still have the audacity to say that? What's the use of you being guards?

"Indeed, I didn't notice either. The shadows seemed to appear in an instant, and immediately left after the attack," Princess Annie contemplated for a moment, then continued, "Hmm... it seemed like everything blurred when they appeared. Well, I don't remember clearly."

"Is that so..." Blurred? Even if you say that, I have no idea what it could be... or could this be a kind of disguised mission prompt?

Special Mission - Infinite Illusion

Find the unknown assassin

Just as I finished speaking, the mission popped up, but the information in this mission was completely different from the previous one.

The most important thing is... why is there no task requirement or reward in this mission?

Are you asking me to work for nothing?

But this mission has such a cool name, it doesn't seem like some trashy mission, right?

However...

Ah, attacking others can be overlooked, but since you've attacked my friend, we definitely have to settle this score. Even without experience or rewards, I'll definitely defeat you.

Moreover, the name of this mission is strange.

Phantom?

Could it be a branch of the wind element? After all, wind magic can create illusions.

But why attack Princess Annie? Although Princess Annie is the princess of the Witte Empire, based on what I know about her, there shouldn't be anyone who bears ill will against her.

Could it be something happening in the Witte Empire? At a time like this... could it be that enemies from the Eastern Continent want to attack important figures from the Western Continent's empire in advance?

But it feels like the Eastern Continent itself is already chaotic. Although the incident in Po Tian City is related to us, we wouldn't be able to intervene if there weren't underlying conditions.

For now, let's not dwell on these questions. The first thing we need to do is to investigate what exactly happened.

"Well then, since the academy battle is over now, there shouldn't be any other pressing matters for a while. I will have the people in the [Tea Party] investigate, so please rest assured," I assured her.

"Uh... thank you."

"Oh, and take this to apply to the wound." I took out the medicine from my pocket and handed it to her.

"Although I used healing magic, there might still be a scar. So if you have a wound after going back, just apply this medicine near the scar."

"Thank you for that."

Princess Annie smiled as she took the bottle of medicine.

"Is there really such a miraculous potion? If it were mass-produced, it would certainly sell for a good price."

"That's right, but it might take some time, and... I have a feeling that someone else might have already started selling it."

Even though it has only been established for a few weeks, judging from the current situation, I believe the business of the Blue Moon Company has expanded to a frightening extent, hasn't it?

Just by looking at Miren's armor, it's clear that they have already sold quite a lot, haven't they?

If we find someone skilled in economics, it would be even more extraordinary, wouldn't it?

Oh well, I'm not good at this kind of thing anyway.

"Well, I should probably head back now, but the investigation might not be completed anytime soon."

"No need to rush, no need to rush. The anxious one should be the assassin who has alarmed the most important organization in the academy, the Azure Blue Wings."

"Huh?"

I looked at her in astonishment.

"What kind of strange name is that?"

"It's your title, don't you know? Your use of light magic to save people and eliminate the necromancer of the Chelfa Kingdom on the Eastern Continent is now widely known. You're quite famous on the continent now."

"Title... like Miren's 'Eraser'?"

"Yes."

"I see... well... but who came up with this name? It feels... familiar..."

It feels like the name of a Gundam mech, I hope it's just my imagination.

"Is it strange? Maybe the people you've encountered with titles have strange names. Don't mind it, anyway, I'll also have our empire's intelligence agency search for information, and we can exchange information then."

Listening to Princess Annie's words, I felt like the one who had been targeted was not her but me... But I still nodded.

At this moment, Yabber and George arrived at the scene for some reason. They looked at Princess Annie, who was completely fine, and then at me, revealing an expression of understanding.

"Ah, sorry for taking over your job."

"What are you talking about! We failed to arrive here in time, and that was our mistake. By the way... was that 'Divine Descend' spell cast by you just now?"

Uncle George looked at me eagerly and asked.

I felt a chill to the bone. Is this guy hitting on me?

"Yes...?"

Even my tone of voice had a hint of doubt.

"You're truly admirable! It's rare these days to find someone your age who can use that spell. Kid, do you want to become the youngest saint?"

My god, is this guy willing to go all out to recruit me?
