Gasps and exclamations of horror filled the auditorium.
The students looked around, fear and confusion etched on their faces.
"This is a very serious matter," Xi Yun said, his tone grave.
"The security of our magic academy is extremely high, and even Mages above Super Rank can't breach it easily. This incident is alarming and unprecedented."
He paused, letting the weight of his words sink in before continuing. "We need to ensure the safety of everyone here. If anyone has any information or saw anything unusual, please come forward."
The silence that followed Xi Yun's statement was tense and heavy. Students exchanged worried glances, but no one seemed eager to step forward.
Gu Jin's mind raced. He Yao's death was not just a tragedy; it was a breach of the academy's security, something previously thought impossible.
For someone or something to tear He Yao apart in such a manner suggested a formidable and unknown threat.
