Ziel and the others in the cafeteria turned their eyes to Azalia after hearing her words. They were curious about the sentences uttered by her.
Clara and the other girls already knew that Raphael was not a native of the Clorius continent from Ziel. But they still didn't recognize the true origins of that academy's principal. That's why they felt intrigued after hearing that. Azalia felt awkward after being the center of attention of Ziel and the girls.
"Could it be that you know something about him?" Ziel looked at Azalia and asked.
Azalia looked back at Ziel, but she was silent and didn't answer right away. She pondered and thought about the answer she would give Ziel and the others. Azalia didn't want Ziel to misunderstand after hearing her answer. She was afraid that Ziel would think Azalia and Raphael were conspiring and plotting something on the Clorius continent.
But after looking at Ziel's face for a while, Azalia let out a heavy sigh. She knew that she couldn't lie to him.
"Yes. I do know about his origins. The principal of this academy is a person of the angel race and is from the same place as me." Azalia answered honestly.
Azalia explains to everyone in that place. But her gaze remained on Ziel's face and observed the change in his expression. She did so to ensure that Ziel didn't misunderstand her explanation.
Azalia deliberately didn't mention her race origin and the name of the realm where she lived because there were other people in that place she didn't know, and she didn't want to cause trouble for Ziel.
On the other hand, Kalya and Lilith were shocked after hearing Azalia's explanation. The two girls did not expect that the principal of the Arcuz Grand Academy had the same origin as the divine race. Then Kalya frowned after noticing Azalia's gaze on Ziel. But she said nothing and waited for Ziel's next response.
Clara, Kyouka, and Princess Iris were confused when they heard it. They didn't know Azalia's race and where she came from. But after considering the strength of Azalia and Raphael, the three girls could guess that Azalia's origin was special and where she came from must be an extraordinary place. Even though the girls were curious about Azalia's identity, they realized that now was not the right time to ask that.
"Is that so? Does he also know where you're from? Or maybe you've known each other for a long time, and your meeting with him in this place wasn't a coincidence?" Ziel added another question. He finally understood why he couldn't figure out Raphael's origin. It turns out that Raphael is a person from the same world as Azalia.
The most important thing for Ziel right now is to verify the relationship between the two people. Even though he believed in Azalia, he didn't know Raphael. Ziel had to do that to prepare himself for all the possibilities in the future.
"No! We didn't know each other before, and our meeting at this place was purely by chance! He already knows where I'm from! But it happened after a friendly match! Before that, we only recognized each other's races!" Azalia answered frantically because she sensed that Ziel was suspecting her at the moment.
Kalya, Lilith, and the other girls were speechless when they saw Azalia's change in attitude. Previously she was a cold and calm woman. But because of Ziel's question, she turned into a little girl who was afraid of being scolded by her father for being caught lying.
"I understand. Then, can you tell me about the angel race?" Ziel quickly believed Azalia and didn't discuss the matter any further. Right now, he wanted to get information about the angel race.
Ziel didn't know if there were any other angel races besides Raphael on the Clorius continent. The information from Azalia might be useful to him if he met another angel race and had to fight against them one day.
"I can only tell you what I know about the angel race. Is that okay?" After hearing that Ziel no longer doubted her, Azalia let out a sigh of relief.
"Of course. Your information might be of use to me in the future." Ziel couldn't possibly ask Azalia to explain what she didn't know. But judging by her position as a Princess of the divine race, Azalia must know much about the angel race.
A huge explosive sound was heard from the fight between Raphael and the Sacred Demonel. But Ziel and the girls ignored it for now. They would not be affected because there was a barrier shrouding the Monarch Palace.
Kalya and the other girls were also curious about Raphael's origins and shifted their focus to Azalia. They waited for her to begin her explanation. Azalia felt uncomfortable under their curious gazes.
"Cough! Okay. I'll start explaining. Like on the Clorius continent, the place I come from is also inhabited by various races, and the angel race is one of them. The angel race is one of the strongest races apart from my race in that world." Azalia still didn't take her eyes off Ziel until now. Even though she explained it to everyone in that place, her attention was only fixed on one person.
Ziel and the others listened intently to Azalia's explanation. They didn't want to miss any information from her. Ziel wasn't bothered by Azalia, who kept staring at him. On the other hand, Kalya and the girls could only pout at Azalia's actions because they didn't want to interrupt her explanation.
"Most angel races use the light element, and their strength is shown by the number of wings on their backs. The minimum is two, and the maximum is twelve. But for a twelve-winged angel is just a legend and no one from the angel race at that time had twelve wings." Azalia added. She recalled the information she knew about the angel race and intended to tell Ziel everything.
"So, the strongest person from the angel race only had ten wings?" Ziel asked. It was new information for him, and he tried to dig out as much as possible from Azalia.
"Yes. You're right. The one with ten wings is the king of the angel race, while the one with eight wings is the warlord. Ah, in addition, the king of the angel race is the father of the principal of this academy." Azali nodded. She happily explained to Ziel.
"Father? So you mean the principal of this academy is a prince of the angel race?" Kalya suddenly entered into their conversation because she couldn't bear to see Azalia's gaze on Ziel.
Kalya and the other girls did not expect the principal of the Arcuz Grand Academy to have such a noble identity. It made them even warier of Raphael's goal of becoming the academy's principal.
"Yes. I just found out too. Because of that, you'd be wrong to think I've known him before, and our meeting at this academy was just a coincidence!" Azalia reaffirmed her previous statement to convince Ziel further.
Lilith opened her mouth to see the behavior of the Princess of her race. What Azalia is showing right now doesn't reflect her personality as a princess of the divine race.
"I understand. I believe in you." Ziel answered seriously after seeing the worry on Azalia's face.
"Thank you." Azalia sighed. On the other hand, Clara puffed her cheeks in jealousy at the exchange between the two.
"Back to our previous discussion. So you mean that the six-winged angel could already be considered a genius and talented at that time?" Ziel quickly returned the topic of their conversation after feeling Kalya's gaze on him.
"You are right. I remember there were only four six-winged angels at that time. But the principal of this academy is the exception to those four." Azalia once met a person from the angel race who had six wings. Those four people held high positions in the angel race, and two were princes.
"Hmm... what do you mean by that?" Ziel didn't understand what Azalia said. The other girls also felt the same way about him.
"What I mean is that I didn't know him when I was in that world and didn't know that there was a fifth person from the six-winged angel of that race. According to the explanation I heard from him earlier, he doesn't like socializing and prefers to be alone. Because of that, he's not very well known." Azalia repeated the explanation she had heard from Raphael.
"He said it directly to you?" Ziel raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Ah, yes. But we really just got to know each other, and our relationship is nothing more than acquaintances! In fact, today was the first time I spoke to him!" Azalia panicked and thought that Ziel had misunderstood her again.
"I know. You've said it before. what I want to know is…is there anyone else from the angel race on this continent?" Ziel narrowed his eyes at Azalia. His eyes looked straight into Azalia's eyes and made her body tremble slightly. Her reaction was not because Azalia was afraid but for another reason. Azalia subconsciously took her eyes off Ziel, and her face turned red.
Kalya frowned and glared at Azalia. Not only her but also Clara and the girls looked at Azalia with a frown. Azalia quickly noticed the gazes of the girls around her.
"Cough! He said that he was the only angel race on the Clorius continent. But I don't know if the words are true or not." Azalia quickly corrected her attitude. She felt a little embarrassed under that gaze. Azalia's image as a cold girl had crumbled.
"I hope he's right. If not, then this Clorius continent will be in chaos. Not everyone from outside this continent is like you. They might be thinking something bad about this continent. Besides, the guardians of the continent will appear one after another. What will happen next, you can already imagine." Ziel said solemnly and shifted his focus to Raphael and Sacred Demonel's fight.
After hearing Ziel's words, Kalya and the other girls' faces darkened. The girls knew what Ziel was thinking right now, and they hoped it would never happen on the Clorius continent.
Azalia could only stay silent and lowered her head in shame. Even though Ziel was talking about other people, Azalia couldn't help but feel responsible for the chaos due to the actions of the people of the divine race.
***
Back to Raphael and Sacred Demonel's fight, the flow of the battle suddenly changed after Raphael used all his strength and six wings appeared on his back. His speed has doubled, and his destructive power has become even more formidable.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boooooooooooooom!
The attack from Raphael's gun destroyed all the hills in the sky. After that, Raphael charged toward the Sacred Demonel at a terrifying speed. He decided to attack rather than keep defending.
"So this is your strength when you are serious. As expected of an irregular, you really shouldn't be underestimated. But, do you think you can beat me after transforming and increasing your strength?" The Sacred Demonel's face didn't change despite seeing Raphael transform. She was waiting for Raphael's attack to come.
"We'll know once you taste my attack! I want to see how long you can put on a face like that!" Raphael felt belittled by the actions of the Sacred Demonel. He condensed his strength in his sword, and golden light enveloped it. Raphael swung his sword and did a cross slash.
[Cross Holy Light Slash]
A golden cross-shaped aura blade shot through space towards the Sacred Demonel. Raphael frowned when he saw the Sacred Demonel did not dodge his attacks and stood quietly where he was. Before Raphael could say anything, a line of hills suddenly appeared, blocking the trajectory of Raphael's slash.
Booooooooooooooooooooommmmmm!
The entire area was covered in smoke and dust due to the explosion from the clash between the hills and the aura blade. Raphael narrowed his eyes to confirm the Sacred Demonel's state. While searching for his enemy's whereabouts, Raphael heard a voice from within the smoke.
"If I remember correctly, you are one of the angel race who hails from outside the Clorius continent. Coincidentally, I have little connection with that race. I will show you the true power of an angel." The Sacred Demonel's voice echoed above the sky of Animaria city.
A strong wind blew away all the smoke and dust that covered the area. Raphael's face became serious after seeing the current figure of the Sacred Demonel. He subconsciously stepped back out of fear.
The Sacred Demonel opened her eyes, and she spread out a pair of giant black and white wings. Half of the sky suddenly turned dark, and the other half was bright. The Sacred Demonel did the same transformation that Raphael did before.
