Extra Demon: Sacred Academy of Light-Chapter 130 Hero
"Alexandra! What a radiant and wonderful woman!" Elizabeth nodded repeatedly as she watched the grand play unfolding before her. While it was easy to understand—typical good vs. evil plot—it had to be said that it was well executed, especially with the illusion magic from her classmates... Elizabeth gave a meaningful smile as she glanced at a certain person...
"Her mana is extraordinary..." Morgana beside her put one of her fingers to her lips. She was staring intently at Azrael...

"Do you love it, don't you?" Elizabeth asked mysteriously...
"Yes... true darkness, right?" Morgana asked, seeking confirmation of her suspicions.
"Exactly! Hehehe, it's terrifying. You wouldn't want to get trapped in that thing... but at the same time, it's beautiful, don't you think?" Elizabeth was more than satisfied. After a long time, she was finally able to see Azrael's mana again. She felt happy that watching Alexandra's play turned out to be more entertaining than she'd expected.
"It's scary..." Morgana sighed a little. Azrael's role was practically that of the villain, a story that was supposedly based on real events, though it happened... a long time ago.
"Well, putting that aside, I think this is the perfect moment. There's so many people, if not everyone, watching the play. I think it's a great opportunity to say it, just have to wait until it's over." Elizabeth sat back in her chair, simply continuing to watch...
Morgana stood up and did the same. After a few moments... "What about not inviting the second years?"
"I want to believe she's giving the younger ones a chance, or on the other hand, she just wanted to observe like us."

Morgana frowned slightly. "Watch the princes of the lunar empire?"
"Yes, we need to be prepared. The awakening of the dragon progenitor is almost complete, and without a doubt, he'll come to visit since his two sons are in our territory. I don't think his first move will be an attack, but..." Elizabeth fell silent for a moment...
"They're still here. I also don't see them worried. Plus, Ariel could have refused to participate, but even if he did, he convinced his sister to join," Morgana finished Elizabeth's thought.
"His magic is definitely lunar in every sense of the word." Elizabeth turned her gaze to Ariel. He was portraying a character, or rather a soldier who was ordinary but by pure coincidence received the lunar blessing. Ariel wielded a sword, surrounded by a bluish-black aura with specks of bright stars around him—it was literally lunar mana... very different from his sister who only used dark mana. Both of them are incredible, so strong, hehehe."
"Well, don't you think Prince Ariel has a very different mindset than what people think?" Morgana said, considering Ariel's curious interest in Elizabeth, which, by the way...
"Well, he's stopped trying. I guess he got tired." Elizabeth shrugged with a smile. "Now it looks like he's interested in Alexandra..." She crossed her arms. "It would be really fun to think about what he has in mind."
"In Alexandra!" Morgana's eyes widened slightly... She turned her gaze toward the coliseum and fell silent as she watched Ariel and Alexandra laughing together. "But... isn't that part of the script?" she wondered to herself. "I don't get it... Why Alexandra? Wait!!" Morgana figured it out...
"Looks like you understood." Elizabeth nodded. "Alexandra is a commoner, in fact, the first in her class to enter the academy of the empire. The people in general admire her. Reaching the position she has by herself commands a lot of respect, especially since she's a good person—the first to help those in need, the face of the common class... and on top of that, she has created many charitable establishments that donate food and clothing... all to prevent more children from being in her situation... She has a nice nickname outside the empire." Elizabeth took a glass of water and drank from it.
"Alexandra is not an easy woman. I understand she has a strong character," Morgana commented, thinking about Elizabeth's words. "But... what exactly does Prince Ariel want with her?"
"Influence, you know, political stuff, the boring pursuit of more power. Of course, we're talking in the most superficial sense... but seeing how he changed his plans, I have to say he was very persistent. He almost made me fall for him..." Elizabeth laughed to herself.
"Now he's doing the same with Alexandra, but with her, it'll be much easier... as for me, no, because I already had everything I could want in the palm of my hand. But Alexandra is a different matter..." Elizabeth looked at her friend. "Have you heard of the establishments created by Alexandra?"
"Yes, I know they are under her name, and there are five of them, each spread across the empire..." Morgana nodded, pursing her lips slightly. "All the funds come out of her pockets..."
"Bingo! She does what she can within her means to help as many people as possible. It's like... look." Elizabeth pointed to Alexandra in the middle of the coliseum. She was saving hundreds of people. "She's fair, kind, and compassionate. She cares for those who have nothing. The title of hero fits her perfectly, but... she's still a commoner. She doesn't have enough money or influence to help more people... She doesn't have the ability to cover the entire empire."
"The heart of a woman is very easy to win over. You just have to show interest in her likes, pay attention, support her, spoil her, and show that you care, no matter how small it is. Women need to feel cherished in some way. So... seeing Alexandra's needs, her concern for the poor, and especially," Elizabeth raised a finger, "the burden she carries with her sword... 'Guardian Angel.' Like every hero, she has to bear the expectations of others. As long as she holds the title of hero, she will be constantly crushed by the people she saves. She'll be praised as long as she keeps doing good things, but at the slightest mistake, she will be dragged to the depths of hell by those same people. Just look at her." Elizabeth lowered her finger and pointed to Alexandra...
"Toughness is what is expected of her, but after all, a hero is still human. She'll never be able to reach every corner of the planet, or in this case, the streets of the empire, hehehe. Just look at her... surrounded by so many, while they scream her name... In the end, those who carry the title of Hero are always the first to die."
