Prologues

    "Don't forget, you call yourself the elite of the American Magic Union, Francis."

    "Stop snobs, Francis. I saw the entrance exam myself."

    "My niece got the highest score."

    "What about those kids you're proud of, Francis?"

    The tall, brown-haired man cleared his throat trying to stop the chatter of his friends who showed absolutely no signal to be silent.

    Francis leaned back while crossing his legs, trying to calm down even though the anger within him was overflowing he was ready to send. Its power is enough to destroy an entire room with its magic.

    The atmosphere slowly quieted. All eyes were on Francis filled with inquisitive and urgent gazes.

    "So, how?"

    "Sut, shut up and just listen. After all, it's impossible for Francis Bancroft's children to fail the entrance exam."

    Francis gave a sharp look to his two friends who were still babbling. The two of them hurriedly gave an apology then shut their mouths tightly while avoiding eye contact with Francis.

    Silent.

    "They did it, didn't they?" after being silent for quite a while, one of the men asked out loud.

    "What's right, Francis? You met the Head of Academy on purpose?" one of the members called out in surprise in a tone full of satire.

    "Eh? We're talking about Francis Bancroft, you know." said another member. "He's taking his kids seriously, there's no way you're using such dirty methods, is there, Francis?"

    The room was silent again. This time everything they asked was answered with the attitude shown by Francis here. Some of them painstakingly hid their laughter with this very unexpected answer. However, most are still waiting for Francis to open his mouth. Hopefully, the man can explain and answer all these puzzles.

    "Forget it. This result will not affect Francis' position in the United States. Let's continue our meeting on the Magic Prison." one of the bearded men raised his voice firmly a little warning for all members to immediately focus on work instead of dealing with other people's household problems.

    "You're right, Albert. Perhaps now Francis is still covering it up until his two children are ranked first in the academy in the annual evaluation."

    Now almost all of the members even nodded. What one member said made sense. Francis is the elite of the American Magic Union and everyone knows his hobby is to boast his twins Mathias and Alison Bancroft which is certainly in addition to points for Francis strengthening his position in the United States. So, it seems unlikely that Francis Bancroft would simply remain silent without showing off his children's achievements in the States. There must still be some other intent and that is usually the result of the academy's annual evaluation which will be witnessed and monitored directly by the American Magic Union. If his two sons can compete and get the highest marks, of course Francis will come out and boast all of his achievements and come back with the slogan Bancroft's descendants are elite and respected witches.

    Finally, ******** out of Francis's mouth. The man lowered his head subconsciously hoping to hide his face from there or perhaps be able to use his wife's magic talent to leave this place.

    But, he still had to open the facts behind all the rumors of the other members. After all, he was a member of the elite of the American Magic Union, there should be no lies. Francis finally opened his mouth.

    "They both failed."
