As the Guardian Corps intensifies its efforts against the Obsidian Order, tensions within Silverwood Academy begin to rise. The constant threat and increasing pressure lead to strained relationships and heightened emotions among the students and faculty. Arianna finds herself grappling with the dual responsibilities of leader and friend, struggling to maintain unity while confronting the growing menace.

During an investigation into a recent attack, Arianna and her team discover evidence suggesting that someone within Silverwood might be colluding with the Obsidian Order. This revelation shocks the academy to its core, breeding suspicion and paranoia. Arianna must now navigate the delicate task of identifying the traitor while keeping the morale of the Guardian Corps intact.

A series of covert operations are launched to gather more information and uncover the identity of the betrayer. Lucas uses his telekinetic abilities to discreetly access restricted areas, while Lila employs her shadow manipulation to eavesdrop on secret conversations. Their efforts lead to the discovery of coded messages and hidden meetings, confirming the presence of a mole within their ranks.

The revelation of the traitor's identity—a trusted member of the faculty—sends shockwaves through the academy. This betrayal hits Arianna particularly hard, as she had considered this person a mentor and ally. The traitor's motivations, driven by a desire for power and revenge, are revealed in a tense confrontation that ends with their capture and expulsion from the academy.

Despite the victory, the betrayal leaves a scar on the community, reminding everyone of the constant threat they face and the importance of vigilance.
