As the hours passed, the day slowly brightened.
The Academy City woke up.
The people could see the destroyed dormitory of the East Academy, cut in half. Panic spread among the citizens, but no one had any information about the truth.
Not even the teachers of the other academies knew the truth, as no one was allowed near the East Academy.
Only the Supreme Commander and the head generals knew of it.
The Supreme Commander still patiently waited in the yard of the East Academy, his body floating several inches off the ground, spreading an aura of majesty around him.
He remained ice-cold on the outside, and with his white robe fluttering around, he resembled a saint. But no one knew what this experienced old man thought.
A few hours had passed since he sent Alden and the others to the base of the city guards.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, he turned his head, looking at the sky in the distance.
BOOM!
