[151] "End"

Andrei looks up and sees Schnauder and Supri. With a grumpy tone, he asks. "What the hell are you doing here?"

Kayden, noticing the new guests, gives them a smile.

Supri observes Andrei's pitiful state and comments. "It would be best if you left the fight at this time."

Andrei, with a displeased expression, fixes his gaze on Supri and responds with determination. "You don't need to intervene. You didn't want to show up earlier, so don't come bothering me now. Get out of here."

"You're jeopardizing our interests," Schnauder said seriously.

Andrei fixes his gaze on Schnauder and responds, with a hint of disdain. "Don't talk nonsense. Someone had to carry out the plan, and I had to do it."

Supri, silently but calmly, adds. "This battle does not benefit you at all. We will only become a target for other organizations, look at the state you are in"

Schnauder, for his part, exudes confidence and grandeur, with his hands kept in his pockets in a nonchalant manner.

Andrei, with an icy gaze directed at Supri and Schnauder, was about to speak when a voice interrupted him.

"So they dared to show up" Kayden said with a smile on his face.

Andrei, Schnauder, and Supri watch Kayden, frowning as they notice that, at an alarming rate, the wounds on Kayden's body are healing. Only Kayden's shirt shows the consequences, completely stained by a lot of blood and his face also dirty.

Supri watches Kayden seriously as he reflects. 'I didn't know his healing power was so effective... Ares is said to have an incredible healing factor, capable of healing wounds in seconds that would be fatal to others, but I didn't know Kayden also possessed it.'

"Andrei, shall we continue with our confrontation?" Kayden commented with an excited smile, as a blue flash emanated from his body.

Andrei smiles contemptuously and says. "Will you face the three of them?"

"HAHAHAHAHA..." Kayden laughed, his aura rising as he responded, "Obviously, I won't pass up the opportunity to fight you three awakened ones from the top 10 of the world rankings."

Andrei, Schnauder and Supri frown, showing their unpleasant faces at Kayden, making clear his annoyance at his words.

"You know what, there's an interesting rumor going around..." Kayden commented with a smile.

Andrei, Schnauder and Supri frown upon hearing his words.

"It is said that the three of you do not have the power to be in the top 10, and you only have that status because the three of you banded together to beat your opponent and take your spot," Kayden said.

With great excitement, Kayden added. "I will show you my true power."

Andrei, Schnauder and Supri glare at Kayden with angry and irritated looks.

"Did they bother?" Kayden said in a mocking tone. "Come on, I have no problem destroying you all," he added disdainfully.

"Kayden, your arrogance is unparalleled, and you are going to pay dearly for it" Andrei said angrily.

Kayden just smiles and raises his right hand, forming electricity that crackles in all directions. A large amount of electrical energy is rapidly heading towards Andrei.

Andrei places his two hands to protect himself, while Schnauder and Supri also take cover.

"Since when do you talk so much?" Kayden said with some irony.

In the next instant, two figures descend from the sky, positioning themselves to the right and left of Kayden.

Schnauder looks at the man with straight, platinum white hair that falls to his shoulders, with pale skin and piercing blue eyes.

Supri fixes his gaze on the young man with short white hair and deep emerald green eyes, noticing the presence of a beast on his shoulder.

Andrei, identifying the newcomers, says. "Ares and Kartein."

Ares, with a smile, comments. "Reinforcements have arrived... Does the real fight start now?"

Kartein, with his hands in his pockets, watches Kayden and Ares, noting his excitement over the fight. And he shakes his head immediately.

"Let's get started," Kayden adds.

Andrei, Schnauder and Supri perceive the high probability of a confrontation.

"Let's leave it here" Supri proposes.

Kayden and Ares smile, asking in unison. "Because?"

Supri looks at them and explains. "You are at a disadvantage against us. You should accept it and end this here."

"That?" Andrei exclaims, looking at Supri in disagreement. Then he continues: "End this now? They attacked Frame. Are we going to put our heads down?"

{Silvia} Ares spoke telepathically, and her eyes lighted up, covering the entire city in spatial isolation.

Schnauder watches Silvia on Ares's shoulder with his eyes narrowed.

Supri analyzes Silvia and thinks. 'It is said that Ares has a contract with a rather powerful familiar, and having witnessed it firsthand, I can say it is true.'

Kartein looks at Ares with a frown and thinks. 'Are they really going to fight? The situation is not the best for us.'

Andrei, noticing Schnauder and Supri's lack of intervention, clenches his fist and declares. "This won't stay like this. Sooner or later, I will get my revenge," and he flies off without waiting for a response.

Schnauder and Supri, seeing Andrei leave, take one last look at Kayden, Ares, and Kartein before following Andrei's path.

Kartein sighs in relief and comments. "It was the best situation to avoid a direct confrontation." Then, he turns his gaze to Kayden and continues. "You must be satisfied with your little exchange against a top 10."

Kayden is silent for a moment and replies: "No... I didn't fight at all. It was disappointing. I didn't even get to train and show off my new fighting style. He didn't show the full power of it."

Ares glances askance at his teacher, and Kartein frowns.

"You hurt him quite a bit when you caught him off guard by changing your style and attacking melee, it will take him a while to recover" Kartein comments.

Kayden nods.

Silvia's spatial isolation disappears, and the awakened world academy returns to normal.

Silvia lies peacefully on Ares's shoulder, not paying attention to her surroundings.

[A/N: I don't know if spatial isolation can do that, but Roist when he attacked the academy, said something that the academy could be rebuilt easily and if I'm not mistaken, he said something like they could activate spatial separation so that everything returned to normal and said that when he had already destroyed a part of the WAA]

….

Rebecca and the others notice that the explosions have stopped, breathing a sigh of relief.

However, that tranquility lasts only a few seconds, as Rebecca immediately turns her gaze in another direction and sees two young figures descend.

Garrith recognizes the figures immediately and exclaims. "Roist... Muse."

Arthur, Cain, Duke, Gangseok, Jisuk and the other young people, upon hearing those names, immediately recognize the two figures in front of them.

Rebecca calmly looks at them and then lets out a smile.

"What are you doing here?" Garrith asked, as he nervously thought. 'Will your teachers be here?'

Roist steps forward and explains: "We have been representing our teachers to have a dialogue with you."

Muse stays behind, with a calm and relaxed attitude, observing everything from a distance.

Garrith frowns and doesn't answer, waiting to hear more.

"We want to talk to you," adds Roist.

Garrith's expression, as well as that of the other teachers, Inhyuk and Seongha, turns gloomy upon hearing those words.

"Dialogue?" Garrith repeats, adding sarcastically. "Do you think you can say that now?"

Roist does not give much importance to Garrith's words and responds: "It is the best for both parties, so we avoid starting a war that involves even those in the top 10."

"Do you want to start a war that could cause the destruction of most of the world?" commented Muse, who had remained silent throughout.

Garrith frowns deeper, thinking. 'They are blaming us for starting a war when they attacked first.'

"We'll see about that later," says Garrith.

"My teacher says that the best thing is for young novices to face each other and solve problems," adds Muse.

Roist and Muse focus their gaze on the top 10 of the world academy and say, in unison, in a tone of warning and coldness. "Get ready," they then turn their gaze to Jiwoo.

"I hope to be able to face you in the near future" says Roist, while Muse analyzes Kayden Break's disciple.

A spatial isolation covered the city completely, attracting everyone's attention.

Jiwoo feels a certain familiarity with that power, but fails to fully recognize it.

Garrith and the others immediately turn to the direction of the fight between Kayden and Andrei, now seeing six figures instead of two.

Garrith reasons quickly. 'It must be Schnauder and Supri, and possibly, one of the other two figures is Ares, but the other I have no idea...'

Muse and Roist exchange glances and understand each other without saying a word.

"That was it," Roist concludes, and Muse adds. "We'll be in touch."

The next moment, they both turn around. Roist stops and looks at Duke. "Duke, Mr. Schnauder said to come with us to Frame."

Muse stops too and looks at Duke.

Everyone turns to look at Duke in amazement.

Duke himself is surprised, but with a smile on his face, he proudly advances until he reaches Roist, without being stopped by anyone.

Muse leaves, Roist and Duke follow him, disappearing into the sky.

"Duke was a traitor?" Leah murmurs in a low voice but audible to everyone.

Cain and Arthur are shocked, unable to believe what they just witnessed.

Jisuk, Wooin, Jiwoo and Subin are also surprised.

Inhyuk and Seongha reflect. 'Is Duke a disciple of Schnauder, a top 10 player in the world ranking?'

The place fell into silence for a period of time, until the spatial isolation disappeared, and the academy returned to normal.

Garrith sighs and then turns to look at the academy, now empty and silent. 'Many guards and teachers were exterminated,' he thinks ruefully.

Then, she observes the young men and teachers near him in poor condition. 'How are they going to recover if I don't have staff here. I have to inform the world association immediately,' Garrith reflects.

"You can leave, go to your rooms and try to recover. I will call for reinforcements and doctors to be brought in immediately" Garrith comments with a strong voice.

Rebecca looks at Jiwoo and says. "We have to go."

Jiwoo nods without asking any more questions and helps Inhyuk to stand. Jisuk comes over to help as well, while Subin assists Seongha with Wooin, and they move forward following Rebecca.

Some young people from the WAA approach and help carry the badly injured teachers to a room to rest. Slowly, the place becomes empty, leaving Garrith alone.

Cain, from afar, watches his grandfather covered in his blood, with his hands behind his back.

Garrith looks at him and waves him off.

Garrith looks at the illuminated city and says. "How many people must have died."

A shiver of pain runs through her entire body. Garrith sighs. 'I haven't been in this state for a long time.'
