章節 55: The teacher made her appearance
Alice held the hands of the spearman behind his back, with the rest of the group Ana and Ivy behind her.
Out of nowhere, Professor Elara spoke, "What's going on here?" she questioned upon seeing the situation unfolding in front of her.
The group was speechless, in shock. They hoped the professor had been monitoring the students' HP, but they never expected her to arrive so quickly. While they had inflicted considerable damage on the spearman, the speed of the professor's arrival seemed impossible to them.
"They're trying to kill me! Help me, Professor!" the spearman shouted desperately, attempting to turn the situation in his favor.
The professor didn't react to the spearman's statement and continued walking towards them. Before she could express her opinion on the matter, Ivy approached the spearman, delivering a punch to his face followed by a kick to the stomach. Afterward, she exclaimed, "You shout one more lie, and I'll hit you again!" clearly displaying anger.
The professor didn't react to Ivy's response and kept walking. When she reached them, almost face to face, she finally spoke, "Will someone explain to me what's happening?"
"They're trying to kill me! Help me, Professor!" he even began pretending to cry, moving from side to side like a child, trying to free his hands from Alice's grip.
Once again, Ivy punched him in the face.
The professor furrowed her brow and asked, "I've understood everything," proceeding towards them.
Ana was in shock at the professor's reaction, already fearing the worst.
Meanwhile, Ivy remained silent, realizing that speaking would only worsen things.
Alice looked pensive, trying to find words that would put an end to the spearman's cries. Finally, she thought of something, "If he's the victim, why does he have these equipment that are clearly better than what the academy provides?"
Professor Elara, now with a serious expression, assessed the situation. "Explain yourself. Why are you equipped with these equipment when it's forbidden to bring them? I'm waiting for a coherent explanation," she said, keeping a watchful eye on the spearman.
"Ah!" he was caught off guard, not knowing what to say. He started making noises with his mouth, and when he remembered something, he replied, "They were the ones who put this on me!" attempting to deflect the accusations.
Professor Elara, realizing the attempt to blame Ana, Ivy, and Alice, said, "Blaming those who captured you seems convenient! You don't convince me! Now, you come with me." With that, she picked up the spearman and placed him on her shoulder. Then, she turned to Alice and declared, "As for you, return to the fortress. I'll give the same order to the others."
Upon hearing the order, Alice began to respond, but unfortunately, the professor had already started running toward the other groups.
"It seems we don't have much choice! Whew," Ana declared, sighing.

"Who ordered me to kill? Huh! Answer, damn it!" He displayed clear anger and even kicked David's face out of frustration.
"Those questions aren't your business to ask!" replied a voice from afar. Both looked behind, remaining on guard with fearful expressions.
"Professor, what are you doing here?" Lucca asked, surprised to see the professor with two other students on her shoulders.
"Emily" Anthony shouted and ran towards her. She was in front of the professor with her hands tied behind her back, but Anthony had forgotten about David. Thus, he turned to Lucca and said, "Hold him for a minute!" and pushed David in Lucca's direction for him to hold. Anthony continued his run towards Emily.
Lucca had no other option but to grab him.
Seeing Anthony coming with the intention of reuniting with Emily, the professor released Emily and let him free to reunite with Anthony.
Anthony embraced Emily, relieved to have found her again. Meanwhile, Lucca held David firmly, awaiting instructions from Professor Elara. The atmosphere was tense, with many questions still unanswered.
The professor, observing the scene, said to Lucca, "Keep control of him for now. We need to clarify this situation." Elara turned to Emily and Anthony with an inquisitive look. "Can someone explain what's happening here? Why this confrontation?"
Emily, visibly nervous, began to explain: "We were sent on a mission to assassinate Anthony!"
Anthony, still holding Emily, added, "She has nothing to do with this mission! She saved me! They attacked me without warning. And at this moment, I was trying..." but he was interrupted again.
"I don't want to know! Anything else?" she interrupted, looking angry.
He simply shook his head, indicating no.
Professor Elara nodded, taking in the information. "I've heard sufficient for now. I'll have more questions later. However, given that I can only take three people with me, I'll be taking these three," she stated while approaching Lucca to retrieve David, the other two still on her shoulders. Without uttering a word to Emily, Lucca, or Anthony, she departed the scene with the three assassins.
