The audience gathered in the hall was buzzing with excitement, eagerly anticipating the latest episode of "Blood River." They had been waiting for seven days for the new installment, and now, as the end of the month approached, they felt a surge of anticipation. The second and third-year students of Truth School had come together, thanks to the space expansion magic that allowed thousands to fit comfortably in one room.
Xu Lie stood at the podium, accompanied by Charles, stirring excitement among the students. They had heard from Teacher Charles that Xu Lie intended to lead them on an adventure. Was this the moment when details about their upcoming quest would be revealed? The excitement was palpable!
However, reality soon clashed with their expectations. Xu Lie wasted no time in addressing the students directly: "Everyone should have heard from Charles about our upcoming adventure. I want to clarify that we will be going out, but only to the school gate, just around the school premises. The adventure involves fighting against Evil Mages!"
Previously, Truth School had maintained its usual routine; first graders continued their meditations while older students received some additional combat training. This was not meant to hide things from the students but rather to keep the Evil Mages in the dark. There was no need for Reiner to report anything; just by observing the audience's reactions, Xu Lie had already learned about the interference from Evil Mages.
Although they had their own Prophet Mage casting multiple layers of interference to muddle things up, it was better to keep things under wraps if possible. Tomorrow marked the end of the month and also the day of the Evil Mage's attack. There was no need to keep this from the students any longer; it was better they knew than face a hasty confrontation with low morale.
As soon as Xu Lie finished speaking, a heavy silence fell over the room. His few words were like a bucket of ice-cold water poured over them, extinguishing their fervor. In the past, they had been unaware of what an Evil Mage was and might have been blissfully ignorant of any danger. But now, surrounded by upperclassmen who were all too aware of how terrifying Evil Mages could be, their excitement turned into apprehension.
Whether it was during combat classes with Charles or lessons from other specialized teachers, every mention of Evil Mages painted them as embodiments of evil and danger.
It was either tales of the Evil Mage slaughtering cities and villages, or stories of the Evil Mage tormenting humanity to extract their negative emotions. After hearing so many accounts of the various cruel methods employed by the Evil Mage, who wouldn't feel a chill in their heart?
When news broke that this group of scholars was preparing to fight against the Evil Mage, even to the point of risking their lives, fear was an inevitable response for most. Although I had heard from Teacher Charles about the upcoming adventure, I had no idea how great the danger truly was!
It is only human nature to feel this way; one cannot blame them. However, a small faction of scholars stood up enthusiastically, declaring, "We must kill them! No Evil Mage should be spared! We will fight against the Evil Mage to the very end!"
"Rest assured, Principal. Ever since I was saved by the school two years ago in Border Village, I vowed in my heart to eliminate all Evil Mages!" another student exclaimed.
"And me! If it weren't for the school's Feizhou sending for me to come to Flying Dragon Kingdom, my family would have been drowned by the snake disaster caused by the Evil Mage long ago!"
Those who shouted for war against the Evil Mage were naturally those who could not coexist with such evil. Many of these scholars had encountered the rampage of the Evil Mage firsthand. They had experienced the bone-deep despair that engulfed an entire village when faced with the Evil Mage.
Fortunately, they were ultimately saved by the school.
