Trouble at the academy

William once again walked to the academy with his sister Claire. After the both of them reach the academy ground, they bid farewell to each other and went to their respective classroom.

William entered the classroom and sat beside Alice.

"Yo!! How's your day?" James leaned backward and said to William.

"Well, it's good" William replied to James.

He felt something ominous in the surrounding. His face turned serious and tried to sense what was wrong.

Alice felt something was wrong when he saw Williams expression. She couldn't help but asked, "William what's wrong?"

William snapped out from his thought when he heard Alice voice, he replied, "I think trouble is coming"

""WHAT?" Both Alice and James cried out at the same time.

Both of them looked at each other, then they looked at him deeply. Both of them knew that William's intuition was rather high, it save them many times in the forest when facing a high level monster.

"Here? In the academy ground you sense something?" James asked seriously. Attack, if it's an attack, who or what's attacking the academy. Of it's not, it should be a natural disaster.

William nodded his head.

Then, the door slam opened and a middle aged man with a glasses entered the classroom.

"Ok, I'm replacing your teacher for today as he is with the dean in a meeting with other teacher of the academy in the neighboring city" The middle aged man said to the whole class.

When William heard that the Dean, Fidd and other teachers was not in the academy, he was entirely sure now that the Hebrei academy was going to suffer an attack, but who would attack the academy?

The Hebrei Academy was one of the three most powerful forces here in the city. The three most powerful forces in the city was the City lord army, Hunter's Guild, and lastly the Hebrei academy. Who would be brave to attack the academy, even if the high level members left the academy aren't they afraid that the dean was going to hunt those who attack academy in person.

In the past life he also heard from his sister that something happened in the academy, but she have no clue of what was it.

It seems that the group of people that attack the academy want something in the academy and when they accomplished their objective they immediately fled away.

Suddenly, William felt a surge of mana envelope the whole academy. He immediately stood up and rushed outside the classroom. His classmates just looked at him strangely as they didn't felt that a large amount of mana cover the entire academy.

"Hey!! Where are you going?" The teacher tried to stop William but William ignore him and opened the door and left the class.

Alice and James also noticed the changes of the mana in the air. William thought them how to detect or feel the mana so they were quite sensitive in it.

Boom!!

A loud explosion could be heard around the whole academy. All of the students heard the loud explosion, they were quite curious of what is it and they went outside of their own class even the teachers followed.

All of them went out of their classroom and looked at the sky. The sky color change to a dark purple color and a lot of magic circle can be seen in the dark purple sky.

William was still looking at the dark purple sky and behind him was Alice and James who was also looking at the dark purple sky.

"A barrier" William said without taking off his eyes at the sky. He was scanning this barrier in case something goes wrong.

"What?" James asked William when he heard William saying something.

"A barrier that separate itself from the outside world. A barrier cover the entire academy, so basically outside the academy no matter what commotion we cause, the people outside the academy wouldn't even notice it, for the people outside when they looked at the academy it looks normal with no changes. In short we're completely isolated from the outside world." William explained to them while still observing the magic circle in the sky.

"And the worse case is that it doesn't matter whether we like it or not we couldn't leave the academy" William said sternly to the two.

In the past he heard from his sister that some troublesome things happened in the academy and there's no one injured in the students, but he heard his sister mentioned that after that incident there's a huge crater in the east part of the academy.

"There's only two things that we could do, first was to destroy the barrier with brute force, and second was to find the source of the barrier and destroy it but there's no way that the one who set up the barrier will let us do that" William said then looked at the two.

He added, "basically there's an enemy attacking the academy they waited for the dean and other high level teachers to leave the academy before attacking it, and they even set up a barrier. It looks like the enemy was cautious enough to plan it."

Alice and James understood it, a powerful group of people invade the academy but not powerful enough as they were quite afraid of the dean, but still in their own standard even them couldn't do a thing in this situation.

He then heard a familiar message in his mind.

*ding*

[Quest triggered]

[Time limit: 2 hours]

[Reward: 3 levels, 5 stat points and 1000 points]

William was starled when he saw the rewards in this quest. A plus three levels for reward. He then slowly revealed an evil smile.

'I could alter the magic circle if given enough time and eventually break it, but since there's a quest that I need to find the source of the barrier and destroy it, I guess that's the only thing I could do' William thought.

He then looked at his stats.
