'Truly… this woman is definitely one of the most annoying people that I have ever met in my entire life.' Mio said to herself as she just couldn't handle the antics that Solar does. It was just too annoying and troublesome for her to even care about it, but now that it actually implemented her, she needs to take action towards it.
But technically, Solar didn't really reveal her identity, she just revealed another identity that she took when she was young, and this was the first time that she had heard it after so many years. One of the titles that she got or perhaps it is more right to say the name that people started to call her when she first introduced them to Magic Theory.
It was an entirely different persona from what she really is, as from that people thought of her as an incredible genius, a pioneer at most because out of all the people that could have come up with such an idea, she was the only one who did so, not even the Primordial Goddess of Death has thought of that way to use Magic. But little did the people know that it was the same person.
"What!? The Grand Saintess? But I thought that she was already dead from that one battle a long time ago. Didn't even the news say that she died back then, so how is that possible?" Alice couldn't simply believe that such news was real because from what she knew, the Grand Saintess had already passed away because of an accident a long time ago. The world even made a death anniversary just to glory her honor because of it, because she was just that important in their history.
"That is fake, this woman just faked her death because she doesn't want to be in the spotlight anymore. From then on she lived a very lonely life, but I called her sometimes so just she had someone to talk to." Solar made sure that she emphasized the last part and from that moment on, Mio's face went dark as she was getting more annoyed the more Solar talked.
"Solar… I'm only giving you a warning once, but if you talk more, I will tell some interesting stories about you when you were young." Mio took a deep breath before opening her mouth, but even though she was smiling when she said those words, Solar could feel the absolute danger in them, and from that, she quickly shut her mouth to not say anything more.
When Alice saw how her Mom quickly shut her mouth, she slowly started to believe that it was maybe true that Mio was really the Grand Saintess because it was the only explanation for how Mio could quickly shut up her Mom who was known to be extremely loud.
"Mio… are you really the Grand Saintess?" To confirm it once and for all, Alice decided to ask Mio directly not even knowing if she was going to get a straight answer or not, she could only hope that she would get a straight and honest answer from her.
"There's no point in lying, your Mother already said who I was. Yes, I am the Grand Saintess, though I do hope that this doesn't hinder how you treat me, just because I am the Grand Saintess doesn't mean that you need to do all those formalities, I hate that. So just treat me like before, can you do that, little Alice?" Mio said bluntly as she didn't hide it anymore, at least her real identity wasn't revealed by the loudmouth Solar, that was the least thing that she could say was good.
"Oh my god… the real and in the flesh! The Grand-" Before Carol could finish her words, she was cut off by both Alice and Solar who placed a hand in her mouth before she could even yell because they just knew that Mio might snap at her for being so loud.
"Grand Saintess- I mean, Mio! Can I ask you something?" Carol who finally calmed down after the big news, asked for permission if she could ask something. She even made the mistake of calling her Grand Saintess even though she clearly said that she didn't want to be called like that.
Mio already knows that there is nothing she can do about it, so she just lets them do whatever they want, and when Mio gives her permission to ask, Carol is very happy. Even Alice was also happy because she also wanted to ask some things to Mio.
"If you are the Grand Saintess, does it mean that you are going to be teaching the students here the most advanced way of Magic Theory?" Coral asked excitedly because if she was going to teach them advanced Magic Theory, there would be a chance that Mio would also teach them some things, especially if they listened to her large class, and that is something that they could just dream of.
Being able to be taught by the person who basically created the concept of Magic Theory isn't something that could happen in your everyday life, even if the Grand Saintess was really dead, she would just basically have the idea of having someone as a disciple to pass on her knowledge. They know that even no matter how much money an individual offers her just to get their son or daughter to become her disciple, she always refuses because she wants her knowledge to be passed on by everyone.
That is why she was one of the most respected people because she was not only a genius, but she stayed kind and humble. Giving her knowledge to everyone. Even when she died, all of her treasures were put to the people who needed it the most.
"Hmmm… pretty good question. But that will depend on that student or person. Because just as you know already, I'm not keen on the idea of having someone as my disciple, because my knowledge is for everyone, but of course not all of them. Though I'm already seeing some very good students, don't get your hopes up though, I just said good, I never said about teaching them personally." Mio said and she didn't want to give them false hope as she would stick to her words and never take anyone.
"Oh, well I'm actually glad about that. When I was a kid, I always looked up to you, even now. You are basically my hero and to say that you are still keeping your promise of bringing your knowledge to everyone makes me really happy, and my admiration for you is just as high as ever." Carol sighed in relief which made Mio a little shocked.
She wouldn't have thought that Carol would be one of her admirers, though she already knew that she was one of the most proficient people in Magic Theory here in Japan.
"Happy to hear that though, but I'm sure that you have read some of my own private works. I mean, I did leave Solar some of my works that weren't published in public. I believe I called that book Otherworldly Magic Theory. It was one of the books that I didn't publish because I gave it to my closest friends." Mio said as she brought out a copy of the book and showed it to Carol which she immediately recognized, and even Alice recognized it too.
"This Book came from you? But I thought that it came from my Mom?" Alice asked as she shot a look at Solar who only averted her gaze from her as if she was feeling guilty.
"Yeah, it is mine, but I said to Solar that she should take credit for it if anyone from her family asked where it came from," Mio answered casually.
"How about you Alice, do you have a question for me?" Mio this time asked Alice if she wanted to ask something now that she had answered Carol's question.
But when Alice heard her, she unexpectedly got goosebumps all over her body because she would have never expected that Mio would call her by her name. Normally she would address her as Principal Alice which she was used to, but now she uses just her name, and she doesn't know what to feel about it.
"Wha… no, wait. I mean, if you are my Mother's friend, does that mean that I have met you before? Because every old friend that my parents have is considered as my Aunt or Uncle. Some are even my godfather/godmother." Alice now asked what she wanted to know the most after knowing the connection between her Mother and Mio.
