“Enough—get inside!”
Professor Karen, unwrapping the bandages from her sword for the first time in ages, urgently shoved the students into the classroom while shouting.
A barrier had been deployed, and evil spirits were materializing to strike directly.
The fortunate part was that, despite their numbers, they weren’t particularly powerful entities.
If anything, the students were frozen in terror by the intimidating pressure from their grotesque appearances, unable to respond properly.
“Professor Karen! We’ve mostly cleared this side!”
A professor blocking the evil spirits charging down the right corridor while unleashing spells called out confidently, but Karen frowned deeply upon looking that way.
“They haven’t been dealt with yet!”
“Huh?!”
The evil spirits that had just burned away moments ago regained their original forms and came rushing back.
The startled professor hurriedly cast spells around himself, but it was too late—his ankle was already grabbed.
Even as Karen rushed to help desperately, she saw the evil spirits piling atop the fallen professor in an instant and thought it was over.
At that moment, a whirlwind of sword strikes swept through the corridor.
Fierce and explosive, like a gale devouring everything in its path.
Kwaaaaang!
The sword strikes unleashed a massive gust, slicing through the evil spirits in the corridor in a flash.
It was a masterful technique that spared the professors and students while artfully cleaving only the evil spirits—as if by magic.
“P-Professor Deius.”
At the origin stood Dayus of Verdi, gripping a worn black sword.
He had extended the blade forward like a staff and now approached calmly.
The other professors with him—Erika, Gideon, and the rest—began aiding in rescuing the students.
Dayus, arriving before Karen alongside a scantily clad maid, spoke flatly.
“These evil spirits gaining physical form doesn’t mean they’ve truly been resurrected.”
Karen stabbed her sword into the corridor floor and exhaled at his words, meaning they kept returning no matter how many times they were defeated.
“Many students and professors are already injured. You’re too late—far too late.”
With this level of chaos, Robern Academy had no future.
Karen said as much, but Dayus shook his head.
“It’s a barrier where the boundary between life and death is crumbling. A highly unique and bizarre one, but it’s not fully complete yet.”
“You mean...”
“Trust me. No one in the academy is truly injured yet.”
In other words, resolving the barrier would fix everything. Karen couldn’t comprehend the mechanism but had no choice but to feel puzzled.
“Harming the living from the realm of the dead isn’t as easy as you think.”
With that,
