Chapter 175: Hospitalisation (2)
Thanks to the valiant efforts of the elite Celestial Knights, the first-year students of Stella were successfully rescued.
... Or so they claimed.
In reality, most of the students who operated in the first and second layers remained oblivious to the unfolding events, while even in the Third Layer, only a handful of students experienced the repercussions of the detected dark magic.
Although a few students suffered injuries during the encounters with corrupted familiars, their wounds proved minor and posed no threat to their lives.
The Stella Academy headquarters was immediately contacted, and three members of the Stella Council boarded a dedicated ship, swiftly arriving at Skyflower Haven to escort the students.
The Stella Council held considerable power, akin to that of a noble, with some even capable of challenging kings.
The fact that three council members were mobilized underscored the gravity of the situation, with the entire freshman cohort being in jeopardy.
"... Fortunately, it seems the students are unscathed."
Of course, there were students who, right before their rescue, became restless, inquiring if they could proceed with familiar contracts and more.
As a result, Hong Bi-Yeon and Eisel astonished both the elves and the council by successfully forming contracts with Grade 5 familiar.
It was a remarkable feat for students who had only been at the academy for few weeks to contract with familiars of such high caliber.
