"Who is she? I don't think I have seen her around before?"

"She is not wearing the academy uniform. Must be one of the three apprentices of the Headmaster."

"I didn't know we had a junior sister that was so beautiful!"

The apprentices were entranced by the purple-red garbed girl's grace and temperament. They could not move their eyes away from her, unconsciously making way, as she elegantly passed them and entered the treatment room.

"Huh? Did she enter the treatment room?"

Seeing her figure disappear, the apprentices gradually returned to their senses and looked at each other in bafflement.

"She did! I heard from a friend that one of the Headmaster's apprentices' was a genius healer. Her talent in the medical arts is so great that she is deemed to be a super genius found once in a thousand years. She must be that genius medical apprentice."

"Sigh, one truly cannot compare themselves with others. In front of such a heaven blessed individual, what do we even count as?"

The second and third year students felt despondent as they compared themselves with Princess Qamari. Before such a genius, they could only sigh in defeat, because competition was out of the question.

Inside the treatment room, Wen Wan sat on the side of an unconscious Rong Li. She carefully took his pulse and checked his condition to prescribe the right treatment option.

When Princess Qamari entered, she saw the scene of her Master checking Rong Li's bloodied arm.

"How is it? Is there any chance for recovery?" Standing beside her was a middle-aged elder with black shaggy hair. Along with the elder that barged into their work cabin, the two were like ants on hot coal, hovering and pacing restlessly as they watched her Master work.

"There is the Instant Restoration Limb Fruit now. Surely, he would be able to recover perfectly?"

"Aye, the Restoration Fruit can heal his wound. Unfortunately, his elemental concentration level has fallen. In order to raise it back to its original level within the shortest amount of time, restorative herbs and fruits are going to be needed." Wen Wan looked pitifully at the unconscious man.

What she didn't mention, however, was the fact that the herbs needed were even rarer than the Instant Restoration Limb Fruit.

They were herbs not found within the Southern Black Sea, but other regions of the Iris realm.

Of all the second year students, the man before her was the most promising. Unfortunately, due to this unexpected incident, he would now become an obscure magician.

Such a scene, was already heart-rending for her to think about. For the young man to face it, he would need a lot of courage and perseverance. 

Sighing at the fickleness of fate, Wen Wan packed her medicinal box.

"His elemental level fell? How did his elemental level fell? And where are we going to find restorative herbs?" The two elders were stumped for an answer, feeling as if the realms were crushing down on them as they helplessly turned to the pale man.

They could not bring themselves to give up on such a fine gem. It took care and effort to properly nurture and grow the man. If they gave up now, then all their efforts this past few years would go to waste.

"Elder Wen, do you know where to find restorative herbs?" They could only turn to the woman they considered their final hope.

"Yes, I do. Unfortunately, it is not a place just any magician can enter. Restorative herbs are very precious resources that have the ability to rise one level of a magician's elemental ability. As such, they grow in very complex locations where only light magic wielders can enter."

At this, the three elders simultaneously turned towards the silent Princess Qamari standing by the door.

"Light magic wielders again? How come I never heard of how significant light magic wielders were in terms of medicine before? Why is it that any useful herb needs to either be plucked or taken care of by light magic users?" The shaggy haired elder felt exasperated.

Before the appearance of a light magic wielder in the Sealand Academy, he had never heard of light magic wielders importance in the art of medicine. However now, he seemed to be hearing it every other day.

"That's because there hasn't been a light magic wielder in the seven realms for centuries now. As a result, most academies archived the benefits and uses of the light elemental ability. Moreover, areas of great resources are always encroached by darkness. As such, light magic is necessary to ward against the darkness."

"Then, doesn't that mean Rong Li won't be attending the seven academies competition?"

"Says who? If Princess Qamari goes in search of the restorative herbs, then there will certainly be a chance for Rong Li." The flustered elder from the work cabin anxiously spoke, not able to hold his tongue.

Bang!

"Now hold on a second. Why should my student venture into dangerous lands to search for herbs not even meant for herself?" Wen Wan almost flipped the side table when she suddenly hopped defensively to her feet.

Truly, she felt sorry for the young man. She even felt disappointed and dispirited when she found out about his damaged elemental level.

However, that did not mean her student could be dispatched and deployed like a contracted servant. That did not mean her student was disposable and could be sent as a sacrificial offering. 

"She is a student of the academy, isn't she? As a junior sister, it is only right that she makes the trip to forge restorative herbs for her senior brother. It is only right that she stands out when the academy needs her." The shaggy elder unreasonably demanded Princess Qamari's assistance.

There wasn't a trace of pleading or requesting on his face, taking her help for granted.

"Bull-cr**! My student doesn't owe your student anything, Kula Moor. Just because she is a student of the Sealand Academy, it does not mean she needs to risk her life and future to help your crippled student. She has no relation or connection with him to go that far."

Princess Qamari, hearing and observing everything happening between the two elders from a distance, frowned in displeasure.

This elder Kula was really shameless. He expected her to enter a dangerous land to rescue his disciple. Then what about her? Was she dispensable in his eyes?

"And besides, my student is only a first year with Initial Stage, first level elemental power. She does not have the ability to venture into such locations." Wen Wan's arms were crossed in a non-negotiable manner as she fiercely stared down the shameless elder.

On the path of elemental training, Princess Qamari could be considered as a one month old baby, barely able to even crawl.

Being just on the first level of the Drawing Element Stage, the Initial Stage of elemental concentration strengthening, she did not even have the power to leave the academy grounds on her own.

And yet, this muddled fool wanted her little 'chick' to go search for restorative herbs for his disciple? Did he consider her dead?

"Well, there are other students that can accompany her." Kula Moor only realized his shamelessness when he remembered the girl's elemental ability level.

With such a skill, even if he turned the academy upside down, the Headmaster wouldn't grant the student permission to leave the academy grounds.

However, to preserve his old face, he did not dare to admit his mistake, instead choosing to compromise.

"What do you mean by that?" Wen Wan was no longer calm either. She could sense that Kula Moor wasn't going to let the matter drop until he got a satisfying answer. Until he received the answer he sought.

"Look, Elder Wen. There is no other option. Your student is the only light magic wielder in the entire academy. And as you were so kind to point out earlier, only light magic wielders can enter the regions of restorative herbs. So, there is no other choice. One way or another, she has to go."

"You're kidding!"

"No, I am not. I will immediately inform the Headmaster of the situation here and our next course of action." Flapping his sleeves, the man proudly strode out of the room.

"Kula Moor, get this straight! My student is not going anywhere without her own desire." Wen Wan tiredly slumped back on the chair, a bitter expression on her face.

Remembering the girl was also present in the room, she glanced in her direction, afraid to disappoint her.

"Princess Qamari, don't worry. I will not allow that geezer to force any decision on you. Whether you want to go or not, it will be your decision."

"That's true Princess Qamari. The decision will be yours to make. You just concentrate on your elemental and medical training." The haggard Elder finally spoke up. He was overwhelmed by the sudden, unexpected blow. But he was not going to force a level one apprentice into dangerous regions to forge for herbs.

He keenly observed the silent Princess's reaction, only to be met with cold, sharp purple-silver pupils, so sharp he felt that she could see through his thoughts.
