Simyon was relatively worn out. Sure, his body had just advanced to a new stage. After several beatings from Liam, he had expected it to happen sooner or later, since he could feel his body growing stronger.
However, it seed that what he needed was soone who was truly trying to kill him, and at a higher stage. His body had taken a beating, and he was physically as well as ntally drained.
Which was why he thought that maybe the person who was in front of him might have been an illusion of so sort.
"Crap, this doesn't look like the Vice Clan Head either. I know you've just been through a lot, but we need to move; one of our group is in big trouble," Da exclaid.
Hearing these words from Da, he shook his head, as Safa had appeared in his mind.
"Wait, what do you an by that? Why did you co here then if the others could be in danger? What about Safa?" Simyon called out.
His worry had caused a spark of adrenaline to surge through his body, and now he was standing up on his two feet once again.
"Did you think I had a choice?" Da replied back. "You should be thankful that I ca in ti to save you from that beast, or you might have beco food for him. Although he might have found you a bit hard to chew and just spat you back out."
Simyon wanted to shout and argue back, but that's when he could see others running in the distance, all of them with red headbands on top of their heads.
"Other students?" Simyon raised an eyebrow.
There were three in total, and they were running at quite the fast pace, using every bit of Qi they had. When they eventually arrived at the scene, they were huffing and panting, and now Simyon could get a good look at their faces.
"Wait, you're Tinson, and… and… the others!" Simyon exclaid, rembering only one of their nas.
"Hey!" Violet retorted back. "The others, do we call you Raze and his two backside whippers?"
"Calm down," Tinson said, holding his hand out. "Now is not the ti to be fighting against each other."
"He's right about that. Da, what is going on? Why are these guys with you, and what do you an we're in danger? What about Safa?" Simyon asked.
"Da?" Joe replied, with his finger on his lip. "I thought his na was Pink. Now I'm really confused."
The students were getting out of hand, and Da just shook his head.
"Look, follow , let's get out of here, and I'll explain the situation as we go."
All of them nodded and quickly followed Da as he headed to the exit of the Dinsion. On his way, he explained the situation to the best of his abilities.
What Simyon realized all of them had in common was that each one of them was attacked, and there was a common link: all of them were from the Lethal Bite Clan.
"The one that attacked , he told that there were attackers sent to others, so I decided to exit out of my dinsion as quickly as possible," Da continued to explain.
"I had no clue who was in which dinsion around the academy, and I needed to get information. The teachers that were guarding my portal, I… persuaded them into telling where the other dinsions are.
"I went in and rescued these three, and now I've rescued you as well."
Now Simyon was understanding the situation a bit more, and he was a bit worried about how Da managed to persuade those who were protecting the dinsions.
It was quite likely that the Academy would find out about this, and if that was the case, then this could very well be the start of the battle against the others.
"But when I defeated the Lethal Bite Clan mber, you looked at her, as if you were trying to find out who she was, are you looking for soone?" Simyon asked.
"Yeah, I am. Among the attackers, one of them is the Vice Clan Head. From what these guys tell , he has power either equal to Feebie, or maybe even more so. If that's the case, whoever has co across him, they don't have much ti to live."
Out of those they hadn't t yet, there was Mada, Ricktor, Safa, Liam, and Raze. Now, Simyon was really worried.
He stopped talking so they could just focus on getting out of the area as soon as possible, but he had to accept a reality: a lot of ti had already passed.

Liam's body was wavering; he was stumbling back and forth, his vision blurry, his body cold. Blood was still coming out from his wounds, and he could hardly feel pain.
He was fighting against himself, doing anything he could to just stay awake, to continue standing, but that was why sothing was strange.
The back of his neck; there was a large pain, it was pulsating, stinging the back of his head every once in a while.
"I told you, I didn't want to do this. So, let kill you in one strike; you have already fought hard enough, that is good enough for soone like you," Royo claid.
Liam went to reach the back of his neck, but realized that it was sothing that just wasn't possible.
"Why the heck are you talking like soone high and mighty, like you're doing a favor? I'm just a student, I'm just a kid, and yet you followed orders to kill , don't you go talking like that, you sick freak."
"You know what you can do? Suck my balls," Liam managed to gather enough strength to give a smirk, as he could see an irritated face of Royo.
"Very well, this world can do with one less crude mouth," Royo exclaid as he went to reach for his sword.
At the sa ti, the pain in Liam's neck started to grow more and more.
"Arghh!" Liam scread in pain, and right on cue as he scread, in the air in front of him, a red spark had appeared.
It had appeared at the top, and slowly it was drawing around, forming a large oval circle. As the red spark moved in the air, a line followed, and when the two ends t back up, what was in front of them was a portal.
Imdiately, a tallic foot ca out from the portal. The foot had red glowing markings running up through its body as it landed in the grass.
Following along was the rest of the tallic body. A single exoskeleton suit, with red markings of energy surrounding it in particular places.
When the full body stepped through the portal, it closed behind him. The strange man that had appeared started to look around the area.
"That's odd, I don't see the mage here, and what has happened to you?" The man asked, as he looked at Liam's poor state.
"You ca in here through a portal; who are you?" Royo shouted. "As Vice Clan Head of the Lethal Bite Clan, I order you to state who you are and why you are here."
"?" the stranger pointed at himself. "I guess it is polite to state one's na. My na is Zon Grain, and it would be wise if you didn't attack ."
While saying those words, Royo was already moving. He didn't know why, but he felt like with this person in front of him, he needed to get an edge, the first strike in.
He pulled out his sword, gathering his Qi in one point for a quick slash. Royo's body zapped right past Zon, and past Liam as well, his sword held in his hand, but the sword itself, it was broken in half, torn.
Looking at his neck, Royo could feel sothing trickling. It was red in color, and slowly it started to go around his entire neck.
In Zon's hand, he had a blade that was glowing red in color, not a solid tal but looked to have been made by nothing but pure energy.
The energy sword quickly disappeared as if it was never there.
Liam turned his head, and he managed to catch the Vice Clan leader's head falling to the floor, and right after, his whole body dropped.
'Royo, from the Lethal Bite Clan, was killed just like that!' Liam thought. 'I didn't even see what happened, I didn't see either of their strikes, they were both too fast.'
'Who is this person, how could they kill a Middle-stage warrior, not just any but quite a skilled one just like that! Wait, why is he even here, why did he appear out of nowhere?'
Now Liam was worried; it was quite possible that one tough enemy had just been replaced with an even harder one.
Zon turned around to look at the student.
"You, you were with that mage before, in that ice place, why aren't you with him now? Why are you in a different dinsion?"
"Mage?" Liam's voice was weakening, as he was trying to listen to the questions, his body continued to waiver until he fell right on the floor.
Zon just stared blankly at the fallen child on the floor.
"It appears that the kid is dying," Zon stated as he walked over to his body.
He then started to hover his hand on top of his body, a red glow coming from the palm of his hand.
"At this rate, he will die in less than a minute from blood loss. He's my only link to the mage at the mont. I have no choice but to save him, but doing so will an he won't be the sa as he was before."
