In chaos

The lieutenant was about to open his mouth but when he saw the major shaking his head he stopped. He instead waited for what the major would say.

"No need. You can go ahead and rest first. I actually know what happened during the mission, so you don't need to pass a report." Linius waved at the man and let him leave.

Based on the fight, he could choose several magic users to lead each group that they will be forming. He had seen the fight and the master surely had his own opinions regarding that matter. For now, they would relish in their first victory against the tower.

Later that night, the major hosted a banquet to celebrate the successful completion of their mission. At the same time, the elders of the tower were in disarray. While they were having their meeting, the news of what happened to the laboratories came. Each elder who was assigned to each laboratory left in a heartbeat to check, only to see nothing left.
