Chapter 80
Remillia could hear snippets of conversations as she walked through the corridors.
"Can you believe an apex monster got that close to the academy? It’s supposed to be one of the safest places in the world!"
"I heard they barely managed to bring it down. What if it happens again?"
"They’re saying the academy might have to increase security tenfold after this."
In response to the growing backlash, the academy had issued statements assuring the public that new security protocols were being implemented. But even with these assurances, the incident had shaken many people’s confidence in the institution.
Amidst all the chaos, one detail stood out—no one knew who had actually slain the monster. The identities of those involved in the battle were kept strictly confidential, listed only as "anonymous" in the official reports. This decision had been made to protect the students, who had requested to keep their identities a secret, knowing the kind of attention and pressure that would come with such a revelation.
The exams, result, and even classes were cancelled for two weeks as the authorities try to calm the issue down. With this sudden vacation, students can choose whether they want to stay in the academy or have a little vacation while waiting for classes to resume.
Remillia who finally got inside her dorm room was sitting comfortably on her bed, a box of chocolate in her lap which Macaron was already gobbling a piece of it while watching a movie playing on her laptop.
Remillia can’t help but sigh at how glutton Macaron is. "The show’s just starting and you ate half of my chocolate already!"
<I’ve seen tons of chocolate on the ref. I’ll just get some.>
She ignored him and just as she settled back to watch the next scene, her smartwatch buzzed and read a message from Professor Orion.
