Sa loob ng academy habang tinutulungan ni Daphne ang mga citizens ng Veliks city ay bigla siyang napahinto at naguguluhang tumingin sa paligid nang makaramdam ng mahinang pagyanog.

Everyone felt the same causing them to stop on their tracks. Quickly silence filled the whole gymnasium, looking around, nearly every body's forehead creased with a questioning look.

Within a blink, Daphne formed a circle with the palms of her hands facing each other to summoned her powers and check the surroundings. Sa kabila ng katahimikan ay ang ingay ng pakikipaglaban mula sa labas. Swords fencing over swords, screams of pain, explosions and more explosions filled the gap of their worried silence.

Taking a deep breath, Daphne's hands slightly shook when all of a sudden, her red eyes open wide after feeling of what seems like tons of bodies running towards the academy's gymnasium.

Napasinghap siya sa gulat at saka tumingin sa kasamang magtuturo. "They've already breached the first position of defense." Bulong niya.

Bago pa man nila ipahayag ito sa mga citizen upang maihanda nila ang sarili ay halos sabay na napasigaw sa gulat ang lahat nang isang malakas na pagsabog ang nangyari sa gilid ng gymnasium.

Large lightning flashed, wrecking the standing parts of the gymnasium. Daphne, quickly recovered and then used her air magic to lift off some concrete that fell on some citizens.

Sabay-sabay ang paggamit niya ng kapangyarihan nang isa-isang natumba ang isang haligi ng academy dahil sa malakas na pagsabog. Nagpatuloy ang sigawan habang nagkakagulong naghanap ng matataguan ang mga citizens.

Gasping for breath, she lifted both her hands to stop a huge concrete to fell on a family. Napaluhod siya at nahihirapang pigilan ang pagbagsak ng ilang debris. Grunting, she yelled at the citizens.

"Go!"

Nagpasalamat ang pamilya saka nagtungo kung saan sila sinundo ng isang magtuturo.

Taking a deep breath, Daphne groaned slowly standing. Catching another huge debris, she grunt before lifting it all off towards the large crack of the gymnasium's walls. Kung saan tanaw na ang labas.

Glancing at her bleeding shoulder, she winced in pain saka ito binalewala.

"Everyone, head to the now!" Sigaw niya saka tinulungan ang ibang nasugatang citizens.

"The academy is under attack. Both inside and outside, how are we going to keep the citizens secure and safe?" napaawang ang bibig ni Daphne sa nalaman mula sa kasamang guro.

Handing the injured citizen to another citizen, natahimik siya. "Where are most of the Knights?"

"Nasa labas lahat." Napabuga siya ng hininga. "What are we going to do now? How are we going to defend all the citizens here inside?"

Unable to answer, Daphne closed her eyes and rubbed her forehead. Sasagot na sana siya nang may biglang nagsalita mula sa likod niya.

"Don't worry, we got you."

Nanlaki ang mata niya nang makita ang maraming armadong individual na agad umakto upang tulungan ang mga mamamayan ng Veliks city. Elizer stretched his hand to a citizen on the ground and help her stood up before walking towards the now stunned Daphne.

She looked at Elizer like he was some kind of a ghost which made him chuckled.

"What's with the expression?" he said smirking. Huminto siya sa harap ni Daphne saka direktang tumingin sa mga mata nitong biglang nagbago ang kulay.
