Chapter 89: 89. Eighteen Years Old.
"I'll be sending you their details now." Lucille looked down at the smart bracelet on her left wrist. She tapped the miniaturized crystal ball at the center of the bracelet before channeling mana into it, and a small, high-resolution, flexible screen unfurled from the bracelet.
The bracelet had a lot of functions that the witches had invented and perfected, primarily for the students enrolling in the academy.
Every student would be given one of these bracelets and further details about it would be revealed to them by then.
Within seconds, Lucille sent Orion's details, along with the other nine candidates' details, to both Sabrina and Daisy, who also had the smart bracelets on their left wrists.
Once Lucille had sent their complete details to them, Sabrina asked. "Is there anything else you would like to tell me?"
"No, I think that's…" Lucille began to reply but Sabrina interrupted her mid-sentence before pushing Lucille and Daisy out of her room.
"Good, now get out. The both of you."
"Huh? What's wrong? Why are you doing this?" Lucille was a bit confused as to why Sabrina would be pushing her out of her room.
"I need to sleep now and you two simply need to get out."
"Huh? But the entrance ceremony will be commencing in the next few hours. You and every other teacher are expected to…"
"Don't care," Sabrina slammed the door in their faces once she kicked them out of her room.
Daisy looked at Lucille with a smile as she shrugged. "Well, she hasn't slept in days because of her research and experiments, you could give her the chance to finally catch up on her sleep now. Besides, lectures won't actually begin until next week."
The students were resuming today, but they would be given a week to rest and become accustomed to their new environment.
There was also going to be a proper orientation during this period as well, so there was no need for Sabrina to attend the entrance ceremony and Lucille understood this as well.
Right now, Sabrina needed her sleep after spending weeks and months in her study room, so Lucille decided to let her get the rest she needed.
Besides, it wouldn't be the end of the world if Sabrina didn't attend the entrance ceremony.
"You're right. I guess she could rest for the next couple of days," Lucille agreed with Daisy. Then to their surprise, Sabrina opened the door to her bedroom with Daisy's clothes hovering behind her.
"You forgot something," Sabrina said while looking at Daisy and the clothes flew straight into Daisy's face.
She slammed the door once again after turning back to walk into her bedroom with the paper containing Orion's picture in her hand.
Sabrina slumped on her bed, then she slowly turned around to look at Orion's picture once again.
"Prince Orion Galdur Elfrida," Sabrina uttered to herself as her lips slowly stretched into a smile. "I can't wait to meet you," Then her eyes became too heavy to stay awake.
Within seconds, Sabrina had fallen asleep.
Meanwhile, walking away from Sabrina's doorstep were Lucille and Daisy with Daisy's clothes hovering above her head as it followed her.
While they were walking, Daisy asked Lucille a question. " Is it true that the elf prince really developed those teleportation arrays even though he is just eighteen?"
"Actually, he had developed the arrays since he was fifteen, but he perfected them at the age of seventeen."
Hearing this, Daisy's eyes widened in shock.
She hadn't expected Orion to develop a complex teleportation array at the young age of fifteen.
It took a while for her brain to really register it, and she repeated after Lucille to make sure she heard right. "The prince developed a teleportation array at the age of F-fifteen?"
"Yes, but please, no one aside from us is allowed to know about this. It's a command from the Headmistress. She instructed that only the teachers assigned to the ten special students are allowed to know of this secret. The last thing we want is for the students to spread rumors within and outside the academy, of how a student developed a teleportation array."
Daisy noticed the serious look on Lucille's face, and her expression turned serious as well as she nodded her head in understanding. "I understand," She said to Lucille, and a smile appeared on Lucille's face.
"Do the elves really idolize the prince like an Apex Mage?" Daisy asked.
"Yes, it's incredible how every elf in the kingdom loves and respects their prince. I've never seen anyone show that amount of love for a member of the royal family in any of the kingdoms I've visited before."
"The prince sure sounds like an interesting guy."
"Trust me Daisy, he really is."
Daisy giggled and hurried her steps towards her bedroom. "I can't wait to see him during the entrance ceremony."
Lucille smiled as she watched Daisy rush towards her bedroom.
Her wings sprouted from her back, and she flew straight to the third teacher, who would also be in charge of the special students, just like Sabrina and Daisy.
Her lips widened even more because she couldn't wait to see what achievements the prince would make during his time at the academy.

Meanwhile, in the elf kingdom, a handsome elf could be seen sleeping high up in the sky.
Orion, while in a sleeping position mid-air, opened his eyes to gaze at the wispy clouds drifting lazily by.
He slowly raised his upper body to take a seat on his invisible bed which supported his lean, muscular frame.
Orion was wearing a simple, sleeveless sky-blue shirt that accentuated his broad shoulders and chiseled chest.
His cute baby face was no more and his jawline had become even sharper, making him look even more handsome than all the other elves in the kingdom.
Orion slowly stood on the bed as he glanced at everything underneath his feet, and his lips widened into a smile that could make the heart of every woman in the elf kingdom flutter.
Since Orion was now eighteen years old, he had grown even better looking and his hair had grown longer as well, reaching to the small of his back.
Orion had also grown a lot taller, and his height was now 195cm, allowing him to become the third tallest elf in the kingdom after his mother and aunt, who were both 200cm and 199cm tall, respectively.
