Chapter 231: Anger (3).
Knight entered the peak and quickly rushed towards the training ground where Alec and the rest had made their second home since joining the academy and being assigned under Instructor Terran.
The moment he entered, all of their attention shifted to him, their eyes filled with anticipation and a deep curiosity that tugged at their hearts, They longed for Knight to say something, anything, that could satisfy their insatiable desire for information the were waiting for.
"Come on, say something, Your silence is driving me crazy,"
Arthur exclaimed, throwing a small tantrum in an attempt to pressure Knight into revealing the news.
Finally, Knight broke the silence, though his words brought a sense of disappointment to their faces.
They had hoped that this time would be different, that there would be good news, but luck was not on their side.
"It’s negative,"
Knight spoke, and a somber mood settled over them, Agnes had heard a rumor and asked Knight to share it, believing it might be important for their group.
The rumor stated that Instructor Walter and other selected instructors were being sent to a nearby city because the danger level of the space gate was expected to increase soon.
"They fear that if no help is provided, many lives will be lost, So, the academy decided to send assistance until the capital can dispatch a special squad to handle the situation," Knight explained.
Their sadness transformed into concern, They genuinely hoped that Instructor Walter and the others would survive whatever awaited them.
"Why must we be affected by someone else’s battle? Why is the capital so incompetent that they fail to send help in time?"
Arthur complained, his frustration evident in his words.
In response, Alec’s hand swiftly met the back of Arthur’s head with a resounding smack.
"Ouch! What was that for?"
Arthur exclaimed, rubbing the spot where Alec had struck him.
"What do you mean by ’someone else’s battle’?, Are you that narrow-minded?, There is only one battle here, and that is humanity against the creatures of the second Dimension, Nothing else, And not only are we losing, but we are losing miserably,"
Alec replied firmly, his gaze filled with determination.
"Don’t use our city’s recent victories against the Goblins to compare to all other battlefields, Our success is just a small fraction in the grand plan, and if those creatures from the second dimension ever manage to defeat that city"
"That is being defended , where do you think their next target will be?"
"Oh, it seems someone is grumpy this morning," he remarked.
The blue electric bolt transformed into a middle-aged man in elegant attire, wearing an instructor badge on his chest, proudly displaying his rank as a great instructor.
"Don’t you know how to knock? If you plan on barging in, at least use the door!"
Terran asked, unfazed by the man’s rank and show of strength.
"Tsk, Terran, still irritated about your little books I see, So predictable! Well, I guess I better deliver my message quickly, Terran, your presence is required at the Latvia city battleground, Things have gotten out of hand as the space gate counting have risen, and the school feels it would be much safer to send a mage with significant destructive power,"
the middle-aged man stated, But Terran’s face already displayed a frown.
"Can’t that be changed? I’ve been going to war for a long time now with no long-term rest.
The academy has a lot more newly promoted Tier 8 mages, Why not send them? Why does your father’s faction always target me?" Terran questioned, growing frustrated.
Terran’s words cut through all the deceit, as he already had an inkling that someone was behind the issue of him leaving the academy.
The middle-aged man in front of him only smiled arrogantly, neither admitting nor denying anything.
"I don’t care what you think, but it has already been decided that you will be going to war again."
" Don’t worry, I will take care of your disciples properly," the man declared.
Terran almost burst into a fit of rage, his anger mounting as he disappeared from his location and reappeared instantly in front of the middle-aged man before he had a chance to run.
He tightly gripped the mage’s collar as he made his threats.
"Don’t you dare even think of hurting my disciples," Terran seethed.
The man chuckled, still unfazed. "Don’t be so impatient, my friend, This is going to be fun. Just make sure to come back alive."
The man quickly vanished in a bolt of electricity the moment Terran’s grip on his collar loosened slightly.
Terran gritted his teeth and tightened his fist.
He didn’t want to go, but he could never disobey the orders that have been signed using the academy seal.
He swiftly left the study, mentally preparing himself to go to war once again.
