Imaginary Crystal

She took the stone and walked towards the vice president of the student council.

"This stone was called imaginary crystal, and it was used for recording everything in 360 digree radius around it." Saying that she took Emily's hand and placed the crystal in her palm.

"Since we are not far away from the place this was situated, please do go through the recording to find out about the truth." Kathleen said as she looked into Emily's eyes.

While everyone was shocked as to how did she find the imaginary Crystal which was hidden, Emily already concluded that Raven was at fault in this issue just by seeing Kathleen's confidence and also Raven's bewildered look. But, she herself also didn't understand how Kathleen knew about the imaginary crystal's existence.

Imaginary Crystal was something that can record everything around it, first someone needs to install their mana into them and the crystal uses that mana to work, just like a charging battery.

These crystals placed on the reception areas to monitor all of the students who do mission and it will be refreshed everyday because the imaginary crystals are very rare as only a rune master can make them, and nowadays that was also not possible because the human race lost the technique and procedure to make them in the ancient times.

There are few in circulation these days and too much expensive to buy, they are used in reseption areas and entrance areas in different powers. However, the images or the recordings in the crystals can be easily modified by a high ranking mage so they're not given much importance as an evidence.

But, since there was no way to modify the imaginary crystal that Kathleen just give Emily, it was easy to tell she didn't do anything wrong.

Emily didn't even hesitate and started playing the imaginary crystal, she used her magic to quickly search the crystal and just stopped at the part where Kathleen was choosing the mission to complete.

As people watched what happened, it became clear what happened and who was at fault in this situation. Raven's face become pale as he sensed the disgusted gazes of all the students who are watching the recording.

"Well, that settles it, now all the students disperse." Emily said as she looked towards Raven.

"You know, I certainly dislike people who lie to me and lead me to punish the innocent." She said making Raven shiver.

His gaze landed on Kathleen as a chuckle escaped his mouth.

"Kathleen black dragon, haha, there was an interesting news I heard about you. You are removed from your heiress title, and got engag- CHOP~." His words are stopped by a chop on his neck by Emily, which effortlessly knocked him out of the consciousness.

"Well, continue with what you're doing, I will take care of this matter." Emily said with a smile on her face. Although she was also curious as to how Kathleen found about the imaginary crystal, she didn't ask anything guessing Kathleen might of seen it before in her duchy, so she probably recognised after seeing the similar one again.

Kathleen nodded and moved towards the reseption table. However, after seeing Emily knocking out Raven, she was really shocked and very interested to find what was Emily magic rank was.

'Not only that, she just appeared behind him like a ghost.'

Sophie also followed behind Kathleen, but her face was telling that she was still in shock over how Kathleen handled the situation and also curious about the imaginary crystal.

They both submitted the mission posters to one of the receptionists and registered the missions on their identity. After that, they both made their way towards the entrance as they left the mission hall.

One of the receptionists who was with black hair suddenly sighed making her friend look towards her.

"She seems pretty different from the last time she came here, however, her fate was already sealed, she becomes nothing but a sacrifice for her family after all." The black haired receptionist spoke with pity in her tone.

"What are you talking about." Her friend who was beside her asked, with a questioning look on her face.

"You don't know? The black dragon Duchy's Duchess betrothed her daughter to one of the son's of the Duke Nicholas stopping the war which was about to start.

This thing might just be a rumour that came out of nowhere because both of the Duchies didn't announce anything about the marriage, but I do believe they're not rumours but true because the black dragon duchy simply has no way out of this situation unless they sacrifice something."

"Hmm, somthing is not adding up, why did Duke Nicholas accept the marriage proposal rather than directly attacking the Black Dragon Duchy? After all, he will gain more than something like marriage alliance if he directly conquered the Black dragon duchy." Her friend said as she put her index finger on her chin trying to think of an answer for her own question.

"If both of us can think like a duke or a duchess, why would we working as a receptionist here." The black haired girl said as she started looking into the papers infront of her.

========================

Kathleen and Sophie walked outside the academy, Since the serene forest was just behind the academy, they don't need to travel too far. The outer area of the forest just begins from the place where Kathleen fought with the tiger cub.

After an half an hour of walking, they slowly entered the forest, since they already got some information about the sky wolf pack and colour changing fruits, they started moving towards the places where they estimated the locations of their targets.

After another half an hour of time, they actually spotted somthing they have been searching for, the colour changing tree.

Just a few meters away from them, the tree which had long leaf's was present. The leaf's are in dark green colour, as Sophie and Kathleen looked at the tree, they noticed the huge fruits at the top of the tree with its large leaf's covering them from above.
