Chapter 95: Daddy won't help
Ian had only flicked his finger at the man's neck horizontally. The man was beheaded without even getting a chance to use his technique on Ian.

In a hallway at the academy
Erica walked in the hallway with a defeated expression on her beautiful face.
Things were not going well in her life. She had lost a big fight, barely escaped alive and that too due to the mercy shown from the opponent.
Just when she thought that everything was over. She was hit by the dirty politics.
It felt as if the world wanted to pull her down.
It's over. I could not deal with that guy. I should not have taken that many level three warriors along with me that day.
It was an useless thought that the numbers would help in the fight against Peerian.
I wish I were stronger. I wish I would not have taken the mission at that time.
Maybe if i had waited for a few years and had not tried to do the impossible.
What is left for me now? I am tired. I don't feel like doing anything now. And I won't be able to accept any missions now.
Erica thought about her bad situation while waking in the hallway.
The room is at the end of the corridor and it smells weird, this is it.
Finally, it's Natasha's room. I hope she has time for me right now.
Her door is open? Seems like she is free at the moment.
...
She entered the door and a blonde lady dressed in a shirt and short skirt was just about to exit from the door.
The lady was slightly chubby with an hourglass figure but her face was angular and she had busty assets on her.
Her beautiful eyes were hidden by her spectacles.
"How are you? I heard you were seriously injured in a battle." The blonde asked Erica with concern
"Are you alright now?" She checked Erica from top to bottom before asking her again.
"I am fine Natasha, for now at least." Erica replied to the blonde with a kind smile
"However, my career as a royal force member is no longer smooth." Her face turned slightly off as she talked about her work
Erica was on the mission to fight and subdue Peerian. Her superiors and even some of the colleagues had suggested her to not do it but she did not listen to them.
She took all the risk and assembled a team of many level three ki warriors and still failed the mission.
"What do you mean no longer smooth? You are already so strong. Why would you have problems in the royal forces?" Natasha asked in confusion
'Isn't she the youngest among all the royal forces member who are close to her level of strength? Why is she suddenly so negative about her career?' Natasha thought in concern
"It's not about my strength. Someone is targeting me and since I have escaped from their trap, they would most likely be attacking my career next." Erica clarified to Natasha
Erica did not want to worry Natasha but she was her only genuine friend in the academy.
She had decided to talk to her about her situation just to feel better and share her burden.
...
"Who is attacking you? But even if it's a political problem, won't the Count help you?" Natasha asked in confusion
'She is a daughter of the count. If something unexpected does not happen then she is the one who is likely to become the next Count. Why is she worried about political problems now?' Natasha thought to herself
"He would not. He is not interested in politics as much as I remember his personality. This politics does not affect my strength only my career and reputation, so he won't be helping me at all." Erica sighed
Her father was a strict men. He believed that as long as it did not affect her life then it was fine. As for the reputation and career?
They could be gained again. Even if he could help her he would not do it and let her deal with it on her own.
...
"Do you want me to ask my cousin for a favor then?" Natasha asked Erica
She could not bear the defeated expression on Erica's face. It was not very well known but she was the cousin of the current queen.
A simple thing such as a political fight would not be a big issue for her to deal with.
"No, it's alright. If it ends my career then I was never meant to be and the queen has her own problems at the moment. I don't want to burden her." Erica rejected help from Natasha
She did not want to worry Natasha but most importantly, she knew the situation of the royal court at the moment.
Things were worse there, and if she were to take help from Natasha then it might make things worse for the queen and even herself too.
She had decided to deal with this shit on her own.
"You are a professor anyway, just have fun with the students. Things would change for better." Natasha encouraged Erica
'She works a lot and is constantly gaining fame. This was bound to happen from the people who are jealous of her achievement. I just hope that she does not do anything rash and stays at the academy for a while.'
Natasha looked at Erica in pity
She wanted her to enjoy the peaceful life of a professor for a while.
"Yes, I hope so." Erica mumbled to Natasha
...
On a way to the classroom,
"There is a student in our class who hasn't shown up yet?" A green haired petite girl asked the girl who was walking side by side to her.
The green haired girl was named Veena. Her body was on the leaner side with small chest and curves.
She enquired about he guy who was suddenly enlisted at the academy in their class. There class was full of elites and powerful people. So, it was rare for someone to join them this late.
"I think so, but isn't he a little too late?" The black haired fit girl replied to her best friend Veena.
Ellie and Veena had been close friends for years from the time they joined the academy.
They liked to gossip like normal ladies as it was the only pastime in the academy for them.
"And he is not from a noble family either. Where he is getting the guts from, to disrespect us nobles like that?" Veena added
"Leave it. Did you hear that Professor Erica has gotten in a terrible fight ?" Ellie introduced another topic to her friend Veena

"Professor Erica? Who won then? And who was fighting against her? Was it Sir Daniel?" Veena asked with great curiosity.
Professor Erica and Daniel were top five combatants of the academy. She was excited to know the result of this fight.
