The following day. No, a few minutes after Severin left the Class Five dorm, the Academy found out about the incident. The amount of power that the Scar member used was enough to draw attention.
And they started an investigation immediately. In fact, the Head Instructor himself went down to the black market and sent people into the Field Zone.
But the Field Zone is a very large place of mostly undeveloped forest filled with monsters. If a criminal organization was hiding there, it would take them time to root them out.
The rest of the Academy learnt of the news the next day, and a warning was issued: don't go into the Field Zone. Even the Houses that made part of the Field Zone their territories were warned to be careful.
The number of guards in each dorm also increased, and the upperclassmen were formed into patrol teams.
Everything made a kind of strange hush atmosphere fall on the Academy. There was tension and fear in the air that made the students uncomfortable.
