Chapter 515: Turmoil Upon Returning to School

Emenas, Temple Academy.

In the apartment-style dormitories, footsteps echoed down the corridor, waking up many students who had been sleeping in.

The dormitory door suddenly swung open, and a loud voice filled the room.

“Awake, my subjects. The dark world awaits our salvation!”

“Go away, it’s early in the morning, and I just want to stay in bed,” came a groan from inside the dorm, as if protesting against the disturbance.

“Apathetic as ever, you can never be a savior of the world,” the student said as he strode to the window, pulling the curtains back, letting bright light flood in.

“No, don’t,” came a more pained voice from under the covers.

“What cowardly voices these are. Do you remember your oaths?” he continued.

“What oaths?” came a faint voice from beneath the covers.

“To ascend Mount Calrenriel, and become a renowned warrior of light.”

“Oh, that was a bad idea,” everyone thought, their heads aching at the thought of the recent complex doctrines and herbology lessons.

No one had told them that becoming a hero required so much complex knowledge.

Seeing that his roommates were still reluctant to get out of bed, the student sighed and spoke again. “Since that’s the case, let me share an important piece of news with you.”

“Our angel, the object of our devotion, the eternal immaculate maiden, the flower surrounded by countless white robes, purer than the moon, more captivating than the sun, the bearer of light and flame, the crown of all students, Chief Lohil has returned.”

With each sentence, a figure emerged from under the covers, hurriedly dressing themselves and shouting loudly.

“Why didn’t you say so earlier?” came a voice, both fragrant and concise.

“Bring me my best equipment!” One roommate opened a locked box, revealing a set of exquisite full-coverage armor that shimmered silver.

“Cloak, yes, and the cloak!”

“A knight without a cloak is not a complete knight,” he said, quoting his own invented saying, and then retrieved the wide cloak with gold edges from the wardrobe, his expression excited and agitated.

“I wondered why the corridor was so noisy this morning, when it was supposed to be a weekend off,” another roommate said as he fastened the middle button of his robe and sat down to put on his shoes.

“I didn’t expect Chief to return,” he added.

“I must go and tell Chief Lohil about this year’s hardships,” someone else chimed in.

This year, Lohil had been absent from school, and the Temple Academy students performed poorly in many competitions, with many victories going to their old rivals, the Fortress Academy.

Especially the ‘Black Lotus’ club, which had produced numerous talents, winning the top spots in many competitions, putting immense pressure on other schools.

After dressing and checking themselves in the mirror, they rushed down the stairs with the group in the corridor and headed towards the Starlight Cathedral of the academy, where Lohil was reportedly now.

Such scenes occurred throughout the academy. Since the rise of the ‘Black Lotus’ club at the end of last year, the students of the Temple Academy had increasingly missed the days when the young lady was still here.

The glory of Temple Academy arrived.

Amidst the noisy crowd, two rows of white knights in neat armor kept the students outside the chapel. Inside, a few nuns surrounded a young lady.

Ingrid pushed open the side door and walked in, looking at the silver-haired girl.

“Lohil is really popular,” she said with a smile at the corner of her mouth.

“Mm,” Lolan Hill sat in the middle of the chair, emitting a pitiful sound, then allowed several nuns beside her to dress her up.

At the school, apart from Nia knowing that she was the witch of stars and the sage of Clancia, none of the other students knew the true identity of this young lady. But this did not mean that Lohil was unknown within the academy.

Despite not attending classes for a year, her legends still circulated among the students.

‘Sickly maiden,’ ‘Pure white nun,’ ‘Silver-haired angel,’ and so on.

As the winner of the most prestigious ‘Crown of Breaking the Army’ in the academy, she had always been the focus of attention. She changed the course of the competition with her personal strength and charm, defeating the overwhelmingly powerful Fortress Academy, which everyone talked about endlessly.

Especially now, as Fortress Academy seemed to be trending towards becoming the ‘Great Demon King,’ other academies, under its shadow, remembered this mysterious and special girl.

Her past deeds were also brought up again and repeatedly spread. Many people only heard her name but never saw her in person, naturally becoming more curious and expectant.

So when she returned this time, it triggered a wave of students gathering around her.

In the past, although Lohil was a student at the academy, she was rarely mentioned because she often skipped classes. Only her classmates in her own class or first-year students would mention this girl.

In her classmates’ eyes, this girl was very beautiful, but her health was poor. She looked very frail, evoking a desire to protect her.

This perception and thought persisted until before last year’s competition.

When Cecina brought this girl out in the carriage, she made her first appearance in front of all the students. Upon her debut, she won over many Angel Sequence students and was predestined to be the successor to the academy’s top position.

Later, during the academy’s competition, she performed exceptionally well, leading Temple Academy to stage a remarkable comeback, defeating their strong opponents and winning the championship.

Thus, she established her status within the academy.

“How long will Lohil stay this time?” Ingrid approached, helping her straighten her ceremonial chief’s robe, and asked softly.

“This time, it might be different,” Lolan Hill said, looking at herself in the mirror and blinking her eyes, while the system displayed her information.

Name: Lolan Hill · Fallen Star

Race: Human (Ancient Human 100%)

Identity: Witch of Stars and Miracles, Sage of Clancia, Co-ruler of Tisilan Mountain Range, Songstress of Fire on the Grassland

Status: Healthy (No abnormalities)

Sequence:

Angel Sequence 5 · Voice of Azure Crescendo (Evaluation: Legendary Pearl Grade)

Demon Sequence 5 · Crimson Red Dress (Hidden, Not Activated)

Nature Sequence 4 · Blossom of Summer Flame (Hidden, Not Activated)

Talent:

Miracle of Stars [Mythical Grade]

The threads of destiny woven by starlight were stirred, thus transforming an accidental event into an inevitable miracle. (Awakened, but imposing a great burden on oneself; not recommended for casual use.)

Azure Wind [Mythical Grade]: A physique as clear and pure as the sky, extremely light, where all things in your perception are as delicate as hair on a bright mirror, clear and real. (Great bonuses in areas related to the sky, atmosphere, perception, and purification.)

Abilities:

[Illuminate All] (Legendary Grade): Can dispel darkness, shadows, and mist.

[Absolute Purity] (Mythical Grade): Can purify foreign substances, impurities, and chaotic elements, or be used to refine matter and energy.

[Rebirth Healing] (Legendary Grade): Regrowth of severed limbs, perfect repair; as long as the brain has not died, the person can come back to life.

[Voice of the Sky] (Legendary): Your singing can carry various effects, influencing those around you and objects, but due to the stability of magic power, it is unsuitable for combat but can be used to enhance teammates. (This ability strengthens with higher sequences.)

Skills:

[Purification Domain Lv.7] (Legendary): Combines purification and healing capabilities, allowing creatures within this domain to remove diseases and abnormal viruses, heal wounds, and recover quickly, with conceptual resistance to illness.

[White Hymn Lv.8] (Legendary): Enhances the strength of nearby teammates, stabilizes their extraordinary core, strengthens their constitution, and allows them to unleash greater magic power and powerful skills with reduced side effects.

[Seal Sword of Light Lv.7] (Legendary): Halts and freezes the magic power of enemies, preventing them from using extraordinary abilities. (Can mass-seal at Sequence 5, single-target seal at Sequence 6, and weaken opponents at Sequence 7.)

[Wish of the Stars Lv.7] (Legendary): A skill unique to the Star Witch, capable of attaching a fragment of her authority to an object or person, activated by strong belief, slightly altering probabilities toward the desired outcome. (This effect can only occur once, and each wish consumes a fragment of authority, which the witch must regain over time or through prolonged rest.)

During this period, since ascending to Sequence 5, she gradually began to feel her own authority instead of being passive as before. Thus, she gained some self-defense capabilities.

Though she could not cause miracles on a large scale like the falling stars, she could make small changes to the battle situation.

This gave her some confidence and assurance.

After completing her exams this year, she would apply to the academy to become an exchange student in the Holy Land. This was to explore the truth about angels and review numerous documents and records about the Holy Land.

As an organization specifically established to combat chaos and disasters, the Angel Church possesses detailed techniques, methods, and hidden information unearthed from past ruins.

Within the academy, besides a few witches and Sequence 9 individuals knowing her true identity, other teachers merely know her as an excellent student and the same person as Loran. However, this does not affect her going to the Holy Land.

Although the Holy Land now also has a Sequence 9, under the influence of her star authority, as long as she carefully avoids these few Sequence 9 bishops or priests, not meeting them directly, she can enter as a regular student to receive knowledge and education.
