The dean turned and looked at his companions and spoke, "Guess we have to hurry. The kids won't be able to face a celestial on their own,"
"Okay then. Let's hurry," Inferno spoke as he turned around and thought of heading to beat up the invaders. Scratching his head, he turned back to the dean and asked, "Where are we going? I don't know where the invaders are,"
Seeing this, the dean shook his head and sighed, "You are a Celestial for God's Sake and you can't even sense mana. Master was right, you are just a muscle head who only knows to fight," he scolded.
"That way. That's where the most powerful person is," The dean pointed south and spoke.
"Isn't that the way to the academy," Silent Sword asked.
"Yes, that's why we are going there first. Even though the academy is heavily protected, we can't take any chances. Therefore, let's neutralize the danger to Academy and then finish off the rest," The dean spoke.
"Okay," the other two nodded and followed the dean as he headed south.
Meanwhile,
Within the Academy,
Moore stood in his office, and in front of him was the hologram of a woman. The woman looked not a day older than thirty. She had reddish eyes and purplish skin while a single horn protruded out of her forehead as a small purplish crown was placed on her head.
"My daughter is being escorted to your academy. I want you to provide her a safe passage inside and accommodate her," The woman spoke.
"Yes, your highness," Moore replied as he did a slight bow and kept his head down.
"Also, make sure that she integrates well with human society and learns the norms. As for the other plans, I have relayed those to her," She spoke.
Moore nodded and stood in his place as he saw the woman's hologram disappear.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"phew…" Moore sighed in relief. Then hiding the holographic device, he walked out of his office and made his way to the academy gates.
While he walked there, he thought to himself, "Queen Sylva is sure clever. To think that she would send four celestials just so she could escort her daughter to the academy. Though, her plan is also perfect. Four squads distract the dean while the strongest one brings her daughter to the academy,"
"However, I am perplexed. Just what is her purpose in doing all this? Why does she want her daughter to attend the Academy? Is there anything that she wants for herself?" He thought. However, even after considering all the possibilities; Moore failed to come up with a suitable reason for the Queen's move.
Therefore, he put it at the back of his mind and continued walking towards the Academy gates.
As he reached the Academy gates, he saw a couple of guards standing there on patrol.
"Hey, you! Come over here," He called one of the guards and asked, "When is your duty finishing?"
"Sir, our duty just started. We are the night guards," The guard replied.
"Well, I am dismissing you all for today as I will be here guarding the gates," Moore told them and added, "Gather all the other guards and take today off. Think of it as a gift from my side for all your hard work,"
"Sir, we can't do this," The guard nervously replied.
"Why? I am a senior member of the board. I think I have enough authority. Also, isn't it best that you guys get a day off?" Moore spoke, his voice a bit louder as he showed off his authority.
"B..But.. The dean posted us here," The guard stammered, as his face went pale from fear. After all, Moore was strong and the aura he released completely overpowered the guard.
"I don't care. The dean is nothing to me," Moore's anger shot through the roof as he heard the dean's name. He roared in anger and released even greater pressure on the guard.
"Blerghh…" The guard vomited blood as he fell to the ground in pain.
"Now get lost. I will be here to guard the entrance," Moore ordered as his voice reached the ears of every guard in the vicinity.
A couple of guards came as they respectfully nodded towards Moore and picked up their comrade. After that, the guards left the entrance. Moore stood alone at the entrance as his anger gradually calmed down.
"I will make sure to pay him," He thought as the plan of dethroning the dean of his position and then killing him formed in his mind.
Meanwhile,
A few kilometers away from the academy entrance,
A few figures moved in the darkness.
"Princess, we are almost there. You carry on while we hold off the pests following behind us," The leader spoke as he handed a storage bag to the princess.
"Also, make sure to keep it safe. Within this are all the things you would need for your stay. Also, your mother has arranged for someone to meet you at the Academy. The human would guide you about everything," The team leader advised.
"Yes, yes I know," The princess replied casually as she continued to run towards the Academy while the others turned around and stopped to face the dean and the others.
On the other hand,
The dean saw the people they had been following stop, "Seems like they are ready to fight," The dean muttered as he sped up and intercepted the invaders.
Stopping, the dean looked ahead as he saw five people standing in front of him, "Old Demon" He called out.
"Yes," The demon appeared besides him.
"Give me some info on them," the dean asked.
"Four of them are at the Calamity Realm while the one in the middle is a Celestial and a strong one at that," Old Demon spoke.
"Okay. Also, keep on collecting information about them whilst I battle. I want a detailed report after the battle," The dean nodded and ordered as he glanced at Inferno and Silent Sword.
"You guys take the two at each corner. I will take on the one in the middle," The dean ordered.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Okay," Inferno and Silent Sword nodded.
Silent Sword unsheathed his dual-edged sword and disappeared while Inferno took out a huge blazing axe and stomped the ground. As he stomped the ground, a huge pillar of fire shot into the sky while Inferno rushed towards the ones he had to fight against.
As for the dean, he simply equipped his soul armor while his scythe appeared from the ground.
"You must be the so-called soul reaper the dark elf told us about," The invading leader spoke as he held his spear and kicked the ground. As he did, the spear flashed an eerie light as its blade made its way towards the dean.
"Clangg!!" The dean intercepted the spear as he felt his hands tremble from the sheer force of the attack.
