The principal had co out from the portal break in next to no ti. With that, the portal had sealed up behind him, and the beasts were no longer pouring through. Just because he had cleared up the portal, though, didn't an it would get rid of the beasts that had already appeared on their side.
The fight was still going on, yet rather than rushing off to go and help the students and other teachers, instead, Murkel was looking in a particular direction. From where he was staring, he could see nothing but part of a broken wall that led into another room. Beyond that, was part of the main building that was broken and led to the view of the outside.
'I ducked down as soon as he looked out our way, he didn't spot us right? I an, he was just gazing around, unless he was paying attention he shouldn't have spotted us,' Da thought.
"It looks like we have little spies with us," Murkel comnted.
Both Raze and Da's hearts had sunk at that mont. The worst person to have seen them, the strongest in the Dark Faction, the principal had caught them. Not only that, but by his side was the vice-principal who they also realized had great strength.
'Raze is injured, and I'm still at the 6th stage. Even with items and pills, it will be impossible to beat those two.'
For a while, the two of them stayed hidden. Maybe he had just spotted them but had yet to confirm it was them. Da had wanted to stay down, that was until Raze stood up, revealing himself.
Now that the cat was out of the bag, Da had done the sa, standing up, and awkwardly started to scratch his head.
"Sorry about that, it was just when you told us to move and get out of here, well, there was a beast in our way!" Da explained. "We managed to deal with it, but then seeing how all the beasts were scared of the principal, we thought that this was the safest place."
A reasonable explanation was the best one Da thought. Surely the principal wouldn't be a person to jump to conclusions, and speaking of jump, right there and then, he and Amir had leaped from their side all the way over to the other side.
They landed and were now standing in one of the student's rooms that had been destroyed into pieces.
"You should make sure the rest of the beasts are dealt with; I can handle this," Murkel comnted.
Even Amir didn't like the sound of those words, as he hesitated for a mont and looked at both Raze and Da, but he complied and jumped away to where the others were.
"Before this portal break occurred, I don't suppose you know what the physicians that ca to et you here were doing, do you?" Murkel asked, looking at Raze in particular.
"He can't speak, sir, due to his throat," Da answered. "But I saw the physicians enter into the room; then it was all chaos, and I don't know what happened."
"Well, I do, and they're dead," Murkel answered, followed by another mont of silence.
Da could feel his heart pounding. Even when talking, he wasn't talking in his usual calm and joking manner in front of the principal; he was being as polite as he possibly could, just like when he would talk to his own father.
"You still have the sa problem from before I can tell," Murkel stated. "If they had t you before this had happened, I guess they weren't able to heal you, so it's unlikely that anyone will be able to."
Hearing this, Raze couldn't help but his eyebrow twitching slightly.
'This person was the one that ordered the others to kill , and now he's speaking to like this, right in front of everyone. The type of person he is, he will try and kill with one hit. If I use the Dark magic spell Shrouded Heart, I'll be able to protect myself like I did against Beatrix, but then I won't have any mana to do anything else.'
Finally, Murkel acted, but he didn't move and only spoke.
"Well, if you were able to sohow deal with physicians with the current state that you're in at the mont, then it ans that you are still sowhat useful at least. Keep proving yourself, White Dragon."
After finishing what he had to say, the Principal had jumped out of the area, and rather than heading to where the other students were, it seed like he had gone back to the main building.
"That was... close. Why do clan heads have to be such strange people, huh?" Da asked. "I guess it saved us this ti, but I can never know what they're really thinking. Do you think it's the fact that they have all this power it sses with their brain cells? They can't experience fun anymore so they have to do strange things like this."
Either way, Da thought they could take it as a blessing.
The incident was clearing up quite well after the portal had closed up. With no more beasts coming out, the teachers and the students were able to have an easier ti as it went on.
Then after all of that, the teachers had asked the students to stay at the main academy for the ti being, while the areas were being cleared out and repaired.
The incident stayed in many of the students' minds, especially since a few of them had died. It wasn't an incredibly large number, but it still affected those that had yet to see anything like that before.
Then there were the reported teacher deaths; in total, 3 teachers and three physicians had died due to the portal break. Thankfully, due to the principal, they were able to close the portal quickly; otherwise, it would have been a disaster for them all.
There were a few things that the portal break allowed the old Red Headband students to gain. For one, they were given a large number of level 3 power stones due to their help in dealing with the beasts. With this, they could turn them into Qi pills and cultivate them more, and on top of that, the new students, rather than giving them any more trouble, seed to respect them.
The school had stated that the plan was to remain the sa. They were on break, and during this recovery period, they could do as they wished. Especially now that repairs were on their way.
Finally, with Safa having reached the third star, she and Da had headed off to the back of the main building, into the forest, where they would use the statue to train.
anwhile, Raze continued his training on his own. Growing his strength bit by bit.
'The second Descending Step!' Raze dashed forward in the courtyard, then followed it up with another step. 'The Devil's Formation.'
He striked downward, and he wasn't done just yet, performing another foot technique and thrusting forward, a powerful strike filled the air, as visual Qi struck around it for a few monts before disappearing.
Raze was sitting; his body was screaming in pain, but he stood up, taking short shallow breaths quickly.
'I've improved... I've improved a lot, there's only a few more days left, I'll see how far I can get, and then I'll get Safa to heal . Everything is falling into place.'
That was until the fourth assessnt was set to start, an assessnt that was all aid at one goal, making Raze's life as difficult as possible.
