Chapter 8 - Chapter 7 – “Permission Granted”

Scene:Precious enters his room and quietly closes the door behind him. Meanwhile, Lior is still sitting beside Kin.

Lior: Oh man... (sad tone)Kin: Can't be helped, Lior. If not that school, we'll find another one for you.Lior: But no other school teaches like that one!Kin: True... but I'm sorry, we just can't afford it.Lior: Mom! We're the third most powerful family in Bees Village — and still can't pay a school fee?! (loud and a little angry)Kin: Lior! (angrily) Bees Village is just a small place! Being its first or third powerful house means nothing — that school is far above our reach! (loud)Guzy (house butler/guard): Master Lior, you shouldn't talk to your mother like that — it's bad manners.Lior: ! Sorry...

Scene:Cuts to Precious inside his room, standing calmly.

Precious: Kal... (smiling softly)

Scene:Suddenly, a man appears out of nowhere — white-skinned, red eyes, black hair.(Note: Kal's detailed background is explained in "I AM THE ONE WHO NEVER FORGET WHO I AM: VELUNARRA" Chapter 13. His skill's details are revealed in Chapter 19.)

Kal: Yes, my lord.Precious: I need to enter the best school in Shin Kingdom. But my family can't afford the fee. I want someone from Secret Sky to become that school's vice-principal and grant free study for me and my brother, Lior. You know which school is the best in Shin Kingdom, right?Kal: Yes, Lord Precious. It's called Doramai School.Precious: Hmm...Kal: I'll take care of it, Lord Precious.Precious: Go ahead.Scene: Kal disappears.

Scene: Secret Sky City – Gesha's RoomGesha is sitting in her chair, working on some documents. Suddenly, Kal appears.

Kal: Lady Gesha.Gesha: Hm!? Oh, Kal—you startled me! That skill of yours is really dangerous!Kal: Can't help it. After all, it's Lord Precious's skill.(Note: The same skill Precious used to summon Kal earlier, but this time Kal can travel anywhere freely. The skill's name is "Holomage.")

Gesha: Yeah, yeah. Wait—did you just meet Lord Precious?Kal: How did you know?Gesha: Just a guess. Anyway, what happened?Kal: Lord Precious wishes to enter Doramai School, but his family can't afford the fee.Gesha: I see… So we have to pay it, right?Kal: -_- No, no, Lady Gesha. You're Lord Precious's secretary, but it seems even you can't catch his plans completely.Gesha: Then what's his plan?Kal: He wants someone from Secret Sky to become the vice-principal of Doramai School — and grant him and his brother free admission.Gesha: I see… Then this is a direct mission from Lord Precious. Everything else can wait — this comes first.Kal: Right. Then I'll take my leave.Gesha: Okay.

Scene:Gesha walks out of her room and enters the "Announcement Room" in the mansion.

Gesha: Attention, everyone! Our Lord Precious has given an important command! All leaders and officers must immediately assemble in the meeting room — whatever you're doing, stop it. This takes priority!

Scene: Dress Department OfficeA goblin, the head of this department, named Chiba, is seen working.

Chiba: Okay, we'll deal with everything else later — Lady Gesha's task comes first!Random (Spider): But sir, this order needs to be completed soon. It has to be sent to Naco Country this Sunday!Chiba: I know, but Lord Precious's command comes before everything. Let's go.

Scene: A few moments laterA large meeting room — a long table surrounded by many leaders on both sides. At the front sit three main figures: Rental Goblin King, Pluto Fairy King, and Shanti Spirit Queen. Below them, seated, are Gesha, Grass (Commander of the Secret Sky Army), and others.

Gesha: Lord Precious has requested someone to go to Doramai School as vice-principal.Pluto: The main point is—who should it be?Gesha: Exactly. Whom should we send?Queen Shanti: None of us are capable of teaching Lord Precious directly.Rental: Right, but it's not about teaching — he just needs someone to stay there and ensure financial stability while he studies.Grass: Hmm… Then who do we send?Lama (White Spider Leader): We can send Bhubi.Gesha: But he doesn't get along well with humans. We can't risk that in Lord Precious's presence.Lama: I know, but he wouldn't dare act out before Lord Precious.Shanti: And what if he does? Too risky.Ulti: Then let's send Werita. She's intelligent, sharp, and very skilled.Grass: Hmm, that sounds like the right choice.Pluto: Then it's decided — Werita will go.

Scene:Werita enters the room. She's a half-goblin, half-spider hybrid — six eyes like a spider, a mostly human body, and her skin is a mix of red and green hues (a blended color tone).She's briefed on the mission and immediately heads to Shin Kingdom, where she becomes Doramai School's new vice-principal.

Scene:Meanwhile, Kal returns to Precious and delivers the news.

Scene: Two days laterSomeone knocks on the door.

Guzy: Who's there? I'm coming.

He opens the door — it's a postman holding a letter. The postman hands it over and leaves.

Guzy: Hmm… Master Tall, a letter has arrived — from Doramai School.

Scene: Guzy gives the letter to Tall.

Tall: What?! (shocked)Kin: What happened?Tall: It says that Lior and Precious are invited to Doramai School's entrance exam!Lior: Yaaaaaay!!!Kail (Precious's inner voice): So that was the plan.

Precious: Hmm. (smiles)
