Once the mist around John and the others had completely dissipated, the people nearby imdiately transported them to the hospital.
The scene was also completely sealed off, leaving no trace behind, as everyone understood the necessity of strictly containing the area.
Any remnants of the dark god's power had to be thoroughly cleansed.
The cleanup operations no longer required Principal Sophia's oversight.
After everyone was taken to the hospital, Principal Sophia stood outside, watching over the children.
She felt that there was sothing unusual about this incident.
John was the quickest to wake up this ti.
Staring at the pristine white walls, John took a deep breath.
It seed he had made it out safely.
"What happened in there? Why did it take you so long to co out?"
Just as John was pondering how to proceed with the rescue, he suddenly heard a very familiar voice.
Principal Sophia?
When John heard Principal Sophia's voice, he couldn't help but give a wry smile.
It seed like the last ti they t was under similar circumstances.
Why was it that every ti he ca to, he found himself in a hospital?
"I've had soone look into the Rose Bar matter, and they are indeed followers of the dark god, the Dusk Sect. They have beco even more vicious than we imagined. However, I'm curious about how you managed to escape from that secret realm?"
Logically, if these followers truly intended to destroy the children, they wouldn't have just done nothing.
Sending them into that secret realm surely ant they intended for none to return.
Yet, here you are, out and with no signs of anything amiss upon examination.
That's quite peculiar.
Was the proprietor of the Rose Bar simply opening a secret realm for you to gain so experience?
As we know, fragnts of secret realms are quite rare and valuable.
A realm tinged with mystery, forming its own secret realm, is even more unique.
Typically, such realms are either ant to elevate their own followers or to eliminate them entirely.
Yet, there was nothing within this realm that could have facilitated such elevation.
But the children ca back alive.
What secret lies between these facts?
Previously, Principal Sophia had asked Isabella and the others, but their responses were vague and unclear.
It seed as though they had mostly forgotten what happened inside, rembering only a few minor details.
As for how exactly they managed to get out, they weren't sure either.
Principal Sophia had always had her own thoughts about the incident, thinking that if she wanted to know what had happened inside, asking John would be best.
John closed his eyes, recalling the final monts before he left the secret realm.
"The power inside was exactly the sa as the last secret realm fragnt, and I almost didn't make it out," John said, sighing involuntarily.
Truthfully, although he had guessed the power within was extraordinary, he had never imagined it would be so terrifying.
"The things inside were very strange, and it's hard to explain briefly, but it seed like a ritual to empower the dark god," he added.
Principal Sophia was montarily silent, not expecting John to be so unsure.
"After the doctor's examination, they said there were no major issues with your physical health, just a bit of ntal exhaustion. A little rest should suffice," she relayed.
Hearing how Principal Sophia phrased it, John couldn't help but feel a slight relief.
"Then I'll leave this afternoon."
He was unsure of Victor's situation, but he knew that if there was an ergency, he must respond promptly.
They didn't know how long they had been delayed inside, nor the exact situation outside.
But he also knew that if he didn't go, problems would definitely arise.
Principal Sophia was slightly taken aback, "That urgent?"
John nodded, clenching his teeth as he spoke, "I said before that I would leave once we had figured things out here."
But he hadn't anticipated that they would accidentally enter a secret realm and then be delayed for such a long ti.
He didn't even know how long Dark Fox and the others had been waiting for him.
Principal Sophia remained silent, just quietly observing the man before her.
For so reason, this young man exuded a peculiar aura.
Although he was among the most outstanding of his generation, there was sothing about him she couldn't quite understand.
This child might indeed surpass her in certain aspects.
Even though he was only gold-tier, his abilities had already exceeded many at the erald-tier.
"Have you considered that so much ti has passed, it's very possible that he has already t with misfortune?"
Principal Sophia's tone was calm, devoid of emotion, yet John gritted his teeth tightly.
"No matter what, I must go."
Alive, I must see him; dead, I must find his body.
Even if sothing happens to , I must see for myself!
"You were prepared this ti, yet still struggled, and nearly didn't make it out. Have you thought about that? If you go again, you might not be so lucky next ti."
John couldn't help but sigh softly; how could he not be aware of the risks? But there wasn't much more he could say.
"I know what you an, but I have to go this ti. I must bring him back!"
Principal Sophia gave John a glance but didn't speak, simply rising quietly from her chair.
John had thought that Principal Sophia would have more to say to him, yet she just walked away.
He stared in the direction of her departure, montarily at a loss for words.
He had prepared himself for a barrage of questions from her, but reality proved quite different from what he had anticipated.
Still, this was for the best, as he had much more to do now.
When he was discharged, the doctor ca over anxiously to give him a full-body check-up.
John was sowhat amused but did not stop it, after all, it was their duty.
By the ti everything was sorted, and he made it to the train station, it was almost dark.
Fortunately, there were always trains heading to Alkaid.
Silver Tear and Dark Fox were already waiting at the station, and they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw John approaching.
Truth be told, when they first learned that John would be joining them on this trip, they were a bit anxious.
They had heard about what had happened at the Rose Bar, aware that it was a gathering place for cultists.
At that point, they knew John had been drawn into the secret realm, so they held no hope for his arrival today.
Even soone as capable as John would need ti to recuperate after such an ordeal.
But, to their surprise, John actually showed up!
"Are you alright?" Silver Tear looked at John with concern.
Dark Fox, though silent, also had a look of deep worry in his eyes.
After all, John's recent circumstances had been far from optimistic.
First, erging from a previous secret realm, and now this incident…
John smiled and waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Let's get going."
After exchanging glances, the two decided to proceed with their mission to rescue their captain.
"Big brother!"
Just as they were about to board the floating train, they suddenly heard a voice calling from behind.
"Big brother, wait up!"
John turned around and saw it was Archibald.
Archibald looked like he hadn't rested well, his face slightly pale, and Leopold was by his side looking very anxious.
"What are you guys doing here?" John asked, puzzled.
Weren't they supposed to be resting up in the hospital?
