The students cheered in excitement . Students and teachers alike, from the freshmen to the fifth-year students shouted Dina's name .
\"Amazing! Her highness Dina is amazing!\"
\"How expected of one of the greatest geniuses in the younger generation, she is truly powerful!\"
\"I heard that princess Dina is not engaged . Do you think she will be interested in me?\"
\"Shut up, how can you be worthy of someone so beautiful and strong like her!? Only I deserve her!\"
\"Dream on!\"
\"I can't believe she defeated the crown prince . She is three years younger!\"
\"Bah, the crown prince is nothing . He was defeated by Prince Claus and afterward defeated by Princess Dina . How is he worthy of being the crown prince?\"
\"But prince Claus gave up the fight, didn't he?\"
\"Are you an idiot? It's obvious he disdained to fight with him . The crown prince is a coward that only dares to fight with women, and even so he lost . \"
\"Yeah, Prince Alan doesn't deserve to be the crown prince . I think it's better if prince Claus is the crown prince . \"
\"Shhh! Do you want to die!?\"
\"But that is the truth! Even princess Dina could be a better emperor than prince Alan!\"
\"… Thinking about it, it would be great if she can become the emperor . Such a shame she is a woman . \"
\"What are you talking about? It's great that she is a woman . Princess Dina is my goddess! I would support her if she wants to be the emperor!\"
\"Hahahaha, yeah support princess Dina!\"
Hearing the words of the students, I smiled calmly . Finally, Dina has taken the true first step .
Dina's biggest obstacle to the throne is the fact that no woman has been the emperor before . If she wants to ascend as the first female emperor, she will have to face many obstructions .
However, I have seen queens and empress through the worlds I have gone, and some of the people that had defeated me through my numerous lifetimes were women . I know that becoming a ruler as a woman is not impossible . If Dina is strong enough, and her support is great enough, nothing can stop her from becoming the ruler of the empire .
Now, Dina has shown her strength . She has shown that she has the ability to defeat the current crown prince, even when the crown prince was wielding a godly weapon .
Of course, this is not enough to consider her a candidate to the throne, but it's the first step forward .
Now, it's my turn . I can use the Red Skull Gang to spread the word about today's fight through the capital . By tomorrow, this fight will be the main topic in the mouth of each commoner .
I'm already eager to see it .
Looking at my collapsed sister, I could not help but curve my lips up . I stopped paying attention to the words of the audience and kicked the ground . In one second, I was holding Dina in my arms .
\"Well done, my princess . \" I whispered in her ear .
Dina blushed . Her tired body rested in my arms and her eyes narrowed of happiness . \"Thank you, Claus . \"
\"You don't need to thank me, I did nothing . Everything was your own effort . \"
\"Is it so? So you will tell me that the mana that suddenly appeared in my body is not related to you?\"
\"Mana? What you are speaking about?\"
\"Stop lying Claus, I can recognize your presence from miles away . \" Dina smiled confidently .
I smiled wryly . It looks like I can't fool Dina so easily .
Dina saw my expression and smiled brightly . \"Don't worry, I will not ask about it . Now take me to a healing mage . My entire body hurts . \"
\"As my princess says . \" I stealthily sent a bit of my mana inside her body to alleviate her injuries and take her to a healing mage .
Meanwhile, Alan rejected headmistress Evelyn's help and used his sword to stand up .
In fact, Dina's injuries were graver than Alan's . During the fight, Alan had suffered only a few scratches besides his depleted mana .
Of course, it was due to Evelyn stopping [Bahamut]'s final attack, or Alan would have gotten much more than a few scratches .
But the fact that he had to be rescued by the headmistress was even more humiliating for Alan .
Alan's face was dark . Today he had been shamed, twice, and before thousands of students .
I could feel his eyes fixated in my back . The intense hatred emanating from his gaze was enough to freeze a normal person .
However, I just looked back at him and smirked . Dearest big brother, the game is just starting .
In the end, some of his followers helped him to go away . I just shrugged while thinking about my next step .
After I took Dina to the infirmary, the other members of our team, (plus Andrea and Louise), rushed towards us to celebrate . Fortunately, the teachers stopped the other students that wanted to come, or we would have been swept away by the crowd . It was not an exaggeration to say that the number of fans we gained through today's fights is in the thousands .
While we were celebrating, headmistress Evelyn walked towards us .
\"Congratulations, guys, you did an excellent job . \"
The girls smiled widely in pride . Today, they had shown the institute that they were the best .
Especially Katherine, Daisy, Rose, and Dina's performance . Anyone could see that their talents were overwhelming . They fought against older, stronger, and more experienced enemies and defeated them .
\"We should celebrate this . \" I said while looking at the girls . \"What do you think about a party tonight?\"
\"Claus, the girls are injured . Let them rest . \" Evelyn refuted my words . \"Besides, I don't feel relieved about leaving you alone with the girls . God knows how many of them will be taken advantage of by you . \"
The girls blushed and looked down, but Dina looked at me with a sharp gaze . Come on, is your image of me so bad?
Only Rose was looking around with a confused expression . Are heroes always so dense? Sigh . . .
At that moment, a teacher rushed towards us with an agitated expression .
\"Headmistress! Headmistress, bad news!\"
Evelyn frowned . \"Calm down . You are a teacher so behave like one . Now tell me, what happened?\"
\"Haa… haa… H-Headmistress, a-another student was k-killed!\"
