It had been two days since the incident.
Ariana had yet to wake up, but Adrian wasn't tense. He knew she was recovering. She was simply too weak right now to wake properly.
They had talked—just a few sentences—before she slipped back into her slumber once again.
Adrian couldn't understand how Ariana had ended up spending so much mana during such a short battle, but her reserves were nearly dried up. So it was better that she rested as much as she could to recover.
The students hadn't left. While what happened was shocking, they decided to remain in the academy for the sake of the final exams.
The newspapers were flooded with the news of the ambush, and people questioned the preparations from the academy's side.
They are asking what exactly the academy has committed to that every second week, they are getting targeted. And if things are so bad, why aren't they handing the responsibility of security and management to the Kingdom or the Tower?
