Pyro of the Craven

Chapter-27: Kaigen's Assault

In the heart of Nuville City, a sense of urgency rippled through the top Ryoshis as Collector Remus gathered them to discuss a looming threat.

With gravity in his voice, Collector shared the grim tidings. "The Kaigen have entered our land," he informed his trusted comrades. "We must prepare ourselves for battle. Each of you must play a crucial role in defending our country."

Determined expressions crossed the faces of the assembled Ryoshis as they absorbed the gravity of the situation. Remus swiftly assigned tasks, deploying them to various regions where their formidable skills would be needed most.

Arcane Legion Division 3, under the leadership of Balram, was tasked with securing the north of Nuville City. Meanwhile, Remus himself, accompanied by Division 2 of the Arcane Legion, set off to support another front in the Country's defense. The strongest of Nuville's warriors were dispersing across the land, their valor and unity ready to stand against the Kaigen threat.

Back at the NES, Principal Vasuda sat in her office, the information relayed to her in real-time. The urgency weighed heavily on her shoulders. But as she contemplated her next move, the entrance to her office burst open, and Isayama hurried inside.

Breathing heavily, he reported, "Principal, there's an emergency."

Vasuda's brows furrowed with concern. "What is it?" she inquired.

Isayama replied, his voice taut with worry, "A group of suspicious individuals attempted to breach the school's security."

Startled and alarmed, Isayama and Vasuda hurried outside, where a tense scene was unfolding. Six individuals, including Larsa, stood before them, their intent clear but shrouded in mystery.

Vasuda, her voice firm and tinged with concern, questioned Larsa, "What's going on, Larsa? What is the meaning of this?"

Larsa, seemingly the spokesperson for this enigmatic group, responded with an air of authority, "Give us the Omega, Principal. We want nothing else."

Vasuda's brows furrowed deeply as she pressed for answers, "Why?"

Adam, a member of the Eclipse, remained resolute, his voice unwavering. "That's none of your concern. Just give us the book, and we'll leave you unharmed."

As the tension in the air escalated, Vishvamitra and other professors and teachers arrived on the scene, determined to protect the sanctity of the NES. Vishvamitra, his voice steady, declared, "We won't do that."

Principal Vasuda, however, had a moment of recognition. She pointed out the man named Kenjiro, her voice laced with suspicion, "Hold on. That person. He's Kenjiro. He was an ally of Zelgius!"

Kenjiro, with an air of assurance, responded to her accusation, "Indeed, Principal. But you see, we've already taken care of the boy who killed Zelgius."

The revelation sent shockwaves through the assembly of professors, teachers, and Ryoshis of NES. Their expressions shifted from surprise to disbelief, like ripples in a pond after a stone's impact.

Isayama, his voice quivering with disbelief, stepped forward, his eyes betraying his growing anxiety, "What are you saying?"

Larsa, cool and collected amidst the turmoil, provided the grim details, her words like icy daggers in the heated atmosphere, "The Captain of NES has been sealed."

Isayama refused to accept this horrifying truth. His brows furrowed with determination as he closed his eyes, extending his sensory perception in a desperate attempt to find any trace of Ramaraju. His efforts were in vain, and he had to admit, his voice filled with a deep sense of defeat, "I can't sense him nearby."
