It's morning, at the castle ground where us court magicians will usually have our magic discussion. From the highest ranking court magician to the lowest ranking, everyone will gather around to voice out their opinion, well, almost everyone since I will usually find myself skipping it. 

While I did become the youngest court magician due to recommendation from Sis Diana, the other mostly swore loyalty to the first prince, and thus, they purposely make my work difficult. If only I am as brave as Brother Ash, I could just blast them all away without caring for the consequence. I'm sure if I am to snap, they will use the opportunity to bring Sis Diana down. Not that it will affect her, but I don't want to cause any more trouble for her. She has done so much for us siblings that it isn't an exaggeration to say that we are raised by her

"Charlotte! Skipping again aren't you. This is why I am against for commoner like you to be part of us"

"And yet this commoner is the strongest among all of you" [Charlotte]

"That's because you're blessed with the blessing! Nothing more, nothing less"

"Doesn't that mean I am worth it right from the beginning, from some noble who thinks he is a big shot?" [Charlotte]

"Hold your tongue! If not, I wi..."

"And what exactly will you do?" [Zaidi]

"Prince Zaidi!" 

Zaidi, with his usual red attire  come to the rescue. He might be the youngest prince, but he is a prince nonetheless, and thus, the so call court magician couldn't help but to bow for respect as Zaidi approaches him

"You still haven't answered my question? What will you do to her?" [Zaidi]

"Nothing your highness! I will just make sure she attends the court magician meeting" 

"Then she's excuse for now. Charlotte, a group of fire crow devil was spotted inside the ice dungeon. We couldn't dispatch the whole court magician as usual. So, by the order of King Estel and Princess Diana, you're to be dispatch to take care of it with a platoon of army" [Zaidi]

"Right, I will gladly accept the order" [Charlotte]

Seeing that he is not needed, he quickly ask Zaidi's permission to leave, and quickly left the two of us alone

"Well, I'm off" [Charlotte]

"Wait! Don't you heard what I just said? Some of us will joi..." [Zaidi]

"No big deal. It just some fire crows becoming devil. I could just extinguish them from a far" [Charlotte]

"That's not it! With Mahsuri gone, god know if any one of the ten commanders will come to harm you! Just stay here! I already told the army to get ready!" [Zaidi]

"Sigh... Fine" [Charlotte]

"You're hard to deal with sometime" [Zaidi]

I feel bad for him, I can see his point, since the country didn't want to loose such a valuable asset, but at the same time, mobilising an army just for a group of fire crows is absurd. I'm sure there are details he misses out, such as one of the fire crows being severely mutated that it poses massive threat, or their number are overwhelming. Then again, he might accidentally left that out since he is confident that I can take care of it

After taking the same carriage with Zaidi, we arrive at the last spotted location of the fire crows. I can see charred corpses of wild monster as well as trees that have been burned to ashes, creating a layer of silver snow. I don't see any sign of battle between the wild monster and the fire crows, so either the fire crows are absurdly powerful or they're extremely hot that they burn everything in their path simply by passing through it

"Look! Over there!"

"So many of them!"

"And at the centre of it, that crow is simply huge!" [Zaidi]

"That must be their leader. How nice of them to save us the time from tracking them" [Charlotte]

The flock number around a hundred, maybe a bit more by ten, but that doesn't really matter. With black miasma coming out from their burning feather, they remind me of Elise's hell fire spell. The leader of the flock, a glance and you could tell that it's simply abnormal. I never met a dark phoenix, but the leader fits the description of a mutated dark phoenix

"Everybody! Into your position!" [Zaidi]

"That won't be necessary" [Charlotte]

"Are you sure?" [Zaidi]

"Positive" [Charlotte]

Ever since the incident at the mermaid kingdom, I can feel my power getting stronger after touching supposedly my magic core there. Not only that, I actually received ample aquatic marine magic core, that

"Army of fishes! Dispose of them!" [Charlotte]

Mermaid princess? Somehow, I slowly become the very image that those mermaids always imagine. I simply commanded army of marine golems at my disposal. Tuna. Sardines. Angelfish. Barracuda. Name it, and you can find one or two of it inside my army of golem fishes. I did get several high grade magic core as well, but I don't think it will be necessary for me to bring them out, as

"Raging water ship! Ram into that dark phoenix" [Charlotte]

Not only magic core, Mahsuri also taught me some powerful water spell. With the ship ramming the dark phoenix at high speed, it also launches barrage of water cannon, evaporating the phoenix as well as the surrounding fire crows, and before the dark phoenix unleash it miasma to attack me

"Sniper: High impact water bullet!" [Charlotte]

Taking my gun out, I compress a water bullet to the max before shooting it out, killing the dark phoenix in an instant. Seeing their leader corpse on the ground, the fire crows begin to move haphazardly, but alas, they couldn't escape from my army

"There, what did I tell you" [Charlotte]

"I know I sound like a broken tape, but unbelievable. Simply unbelievable" [Zaidi]

"You should trust me more nex..." [Charlotte]

"You truly have grown, one of the ten heroes" [?]

"!" [All]

An S rank monster show herself. Yuki-ona, an ice type lady monster that wear the Japanese kimono, and this time, having a katana on one hand, bluish tinge in colour, and on the other hand she's holding an umbrella. Isn't she the one...

"Please come with me. The dungeon master would like to have a word with you" [Yuki-ona]

"The dungeon master?" [Zaidi]

"That's correct. The dungeon master, the holy beats of water, Reshir the Ice Dragon would like to speak with her" [Yuki-ona]
