Mistress Of The Evil Forest

A-A 1: The academy’s sassy maid.

The Astra Academy is the most prestigious educational institution in the world.

It is overflowing with talents not only from the Astra Empire but also from other countries. With outstanding teaching quality, state-of-the-art infrastructure, and by far the most valuable diploma, there is simply no reason to not choose it over any other academy.

The Astra Academy has produced numerous people in the ranks of Master or Grandmaster, those being superhumans who had surpassed the level 60 or level 70 barrier, respectively. Most of them started their journeys at either class 1-A or the top of class 1-B.

This year, the academy has seen by far the biggest number of students in class 1-A, that being five, not to mention there are three additional students close to being at class A level.

News of this went far. People call these freshmen 'The golden generation' and admire their talents, while sponsors from around the world are keeping a close eye on them.

For the students of the academy, these outstanding talents are like their idols. 

The gorgeous and classy heiress of Luminous Duchy—Amelia Luminous.

The cheerful and somewhat crazy Saintess of Neveah Church—Luxia Neveah.

The dominant and definitely crazy Crown Princess of the Empire—Sierra Alaina Astra.

The handsome and gentle heir of Apollo Duchy—Aaron Apollo.

The mysterious and cold transfer student—Rokkaku Ryuji.

And the battle maniac of Heisenberg Duchy—Scarlett Heisenberg.

These people garner attention wherever they go. They receive tons of offers from sponsors, clubs, and factions, and even the student council is trying to scout them.

However.

There is one other person who is famed around the academy.

The icy cold and sassy maid of Amelia Luminous—Aurora.

When the students first came back to the academy, she made a deep impression on everyone with her beautiful figure and mostly emotionless but stunning face, not to mention her smooth snow-white wings that tempted a lot of people to try and touch them. 

Aside from that, however, she is also known for her fearless and sarcastic attitude against prestigious nobles and powerful people alike.

The first rumors of this were spread from Maria Oriana's followers. According to them, she was brazenly talking back to Maria—a daughter of a Marquis, relying on her status as Lady Luminous's maid.

The majority of people weren't buying it though. After all, the reputation of Maria's group wasn't exactly great.

But then, the public opinion gradually changed.

Over time, Aurora was often seen throwing sarcastic comments at nobles on numerous occasions, sometimes even gaslighting professors and staff members alike into believing that they were nothing but waste, all the while keeping an emotionless face.

Her infinitely cold eyes can freeze people, some believe.

Now, nobody blamed her for those comments because most of the time she was just being attacked first, but an unforgettable image of a 'spiky' maid was certainly imprinted into the people's minds.

Her most famous victim is definitely Scarlett Heisenberg. Despite being a daughter of a Duke house, she was beaten constantly by Aurora—both physically and mentally.

Aurora has beaten class 1-B's number one a few times in duels.

In fact, that is one of the two reasons why she wasn't punished even once after confronting nobles—she is seriously strong.

The other reason? Amelia Luminous.

There is a rumor floating around the academy nowadays—

'Aurora is Lady Luminous's lover...!'

Aurora could often be seen accompanying the prestigious Amelia Luminous, and the interactions between them could be easily interpreted as romantic. From holding hands and hugging to even feeding each other or giving lap pillows.

Most of all, the usual calm and cool Amelia Luminous suddenly became a simple fool around Aurora. Her face quite literally melted every time Aurora did something remotely cuddly for her.

Now everyone believes that if they touch Aurora, they will face Amelia's wrath in full.

Outside of being sarcastic and sassy, Aurora could also often be seen hanging out with her fellow maid and bird—Nydia, and another girl with the rare light element.

She was also seen buying an obscene amount of potato chips several times. People are concerned about her spending habits, and her well-being in general, and rightfully so.

Nowadays, Aurora has become somewhat of a special character in the academy. Most people love her because she brings a fresh wave into their monotonous school life, while some admire her for her beauty or her prowess.

Nevertheless, there will be an annual popularity vote and a beauty contest happening in another few months. I personally think Aurora would make a phenomenal candidate for both of them. I would love to see her roasting and gaslighting on stage.

''Phew... Oh, senior!''

''What's wrong?''

''Would this make a good article?''

''Hm... The content itself is quite good, but I think you should put our information at the end.''

''Right. I totally forgot about advertising.''
