The World I Created is so Popular

Chapter 82: Spring of Rudera - 3

The students of the academy, caught in a wave of confusion, hurriedly fled their lecture rooms and rushed outside.

Albus, stepping out of the classroom, saw the massive crowd pushing their way out.

"What... What is that...?"

"Is it night? No, it's not. I can't see the moon or the stars. Something is blocking the sky!"

All the students who had made it outside stood frozen, staring up at the pitch-black dome covering the sky.

It was as if a dark curtain had descended over the academy, isolating it completely from the outside world.

"Professor Lauf! Can you reach the security office?"

"No, I can't! What about you, Head of Department?"

The professors, trying to assess the situation, took out their communication devices from their pockets to contact the security office, but no one answered.

"The Chancellor isn't responding either."

"It seems this is no ordinary matter."

Realizing something serious was happening, the faculty members began moving urgently.

"The communication devices are down!"

"Mom...!"

The students, with their devices, attempted to reach the outside, but the curtain seemed to block all forms of communication.

Chaos slowly spread throughout the academy.

Albus, too, tried to contact Carthesia, but his communication magic failed.

"Guide," he muttered softly, covering his mouth with his hand, just in case.

"You called, Master."

A sigh of relief escaped Albus as he heard the guide's voice.

"Guide, can you analyze the current situation?"

"Please wait a moment, Master."

After a brief pause, the guide spoke again.

"Master, the entire Lichten Academy grounds have been altered."

"Altered?"

"The space has changed to one identical in nature to Rudera, not a typical part of the continent."

Reality has turned into Rudera?

The shocking news left Albus momentarily stunned.

Come to think of it, the other students mentioned that status windows appeared.

And I, too, have been able to open a command window.

But... How is this even possible?

"Everyone, stop moving!"

A commanding voice echoed over the confused crowd of academy students.

Whoosh.

A pinkish energy descended from above, spreading across the ground.

Gulping for air, the students tried to speak, but those struck by the pink energy couldn't make a sound.

"I apologize for interrupting your classes so abruptly."

A shadowy figure descended, lowering its altitude.

Unlike the students on the ground, this figure spoke with a clear voice.

"But it was necessary for our grand purpose. Once you hear of this great cause, you too will understand."

Preaching like a zealot of some fanatical cult, the mysterious intruder left the students realizing the academy was under attack by terrorists.
