Cries of pain could be heard from the city while the beast horde hunted all the people living inside. It was an unavoidable fate since those beasts hated them and Wyba didn’t plan to forbid them to attack.

She had stopped giving orders to them, but for those beasts that attack to the city was the vengeance for those beasts that had died without reason and they had waited for so long for that moment, so they didn’t need any order to hunt the inhabitants of the city.

Yale knew that although all the people had marks on their souls, not all of them were truly evil and were just forced to obey by the True Empire, but he didn’t have time to kill all of them personally to let his sword judge their souls. Moreover, that city was the one who attracted the hatred of the beasts, and they were paying the consequences.

No one stood up to help Ange or his father when they had been captured, so Yale didn’t find any need to help them in that situation even though it would be far too easy for him to make those beasts stop.

A little wolf flew towards Yale before transforming into a cute half-beast girl and hugging Yale. Wyba had been told to go towards Swordmad’s group because Yale was going towards there, but she wanted to go towards Yale as soon as possible.

“You did a good job.”

Yale didn’t mind that Wyba didn’t obey him because he was very pleased with her performance in the rescue plan, and he had difficulties being angry with her for disobeying him when she acted like a spoiled girl.

“Now, let’s go. I rescued Ange, but I need help to ensure her safety.”

Yale patted Wyba’s head before both of them continued flying towards the Nacesai Academy’s army. They were already near to them so in two minutes they landed.

“Yale, is Ange well?”

Swordmad asked immediately when Yale landed in front of him. He had been feeling too guilty since he had been unable to avoid her from being kidnapped.

“She is safe for now, but I need to return to Imperial City right now, or she will be in danger.”

The faces of everyone were gloomy after hearing that because they knew that without Yale, they could only dream about having won the war against that city. After all, it has been the cooperation from Yale with the beast horde controlled by Wyba the main reason for the destruction of the city.

“If someone wants to follow me to Imperial City, I have no problems with it. However, Imperial City won’t be safer than here. A war will start soon.”

Most of the members who thought about following Yale after he started speaking discarded those thoughts just after Yale finished. They didn’t want to join a war that would implicate the capital because they would just be cannon fodder.

“I will go with you! Maybe my efficiency to command golems can’t compare with Wyba’s control of beast horde; I admit that I am worse than Wyba. However, I am sure that I will be able to help you in Imperial City.”

George didn’t hesitate into deciding to join Yale and go to Imperial City; he understood that the enemy of Imperial City was related to the enemy they had just beat.

Too many people had died in the hands of the True Empire, besides those inside the Nacesai Academy no one else remained in Nacesai City, so it was normal that he wanted revenge.

Almost everyone in that army wanted revenge as George, but no one has enough guts to go to the war. They already pushed their courage to the limits to join that army in which they weren’t even the frontline for the attack.

Of course, Yale didn’t plan to force anyone to join him because he didn’t need a bunch of cowards.

“I will also go with you. As a master, I neglected you for too long while you turned strong on your own. I fear that if you leave without me, the next time I see you, I won’t be able to teach you anything.”

Yale already expected that Swordmad would also want to join him; Swordmad was someone who liked to destroy the root of all troubles, so he wouldn’t be at ease until the True Empire had been destroyed.

“We need to rush towards the Nacesai Academy; I will also tell everyone in the Nacesai Academy about going with me to Imperial City to help in the incoming war. After that, I will return to Imperial City, and I don’t know when I will return.”

Yale was in a rush, but any help he could gather to the incoming war would be welcomed. Moreover, he thought that probably he would never return to Nacesai City, the city had been reduced to the Nacesai Academy, and he didn’t think that the city would be easily reconstructed.

Yale flew back to Nacesai City followed by Wyba, while the army started to retreat towards Nacesai City. However, that army splits into two groups, one that ran towards the Nacesai Academy and another one that advanced slowly with the carriages and the golems.

Swordmad and George were in the running group because they would go with Yale to Imperial City and there was no way Yale would wait until the whole army reached the Nacesai Academy.

As for the city that was being attacked, only beastly sounds could be heard at that moment; they had been all annihilated by the beast horde.

Yale’s flying speed was higher than Swordmad’s speed running in the ground; maybe in a flat terrain without obstacles, Swordmad could run at that speed, but there was no way the terrain was that perfect while they returned to the Nacesai Academy.

At the Nacesai Academy, Sainac was waiting at the entrances gates with some people behind him. Those people were all waiting for Yale and the army to return.

All of them had close relations to some of the people that had gone to the other city, and even if the job of that army wasn’t attacking directly and just using golems; those people were still worried.

The situation inside the Nacesai Academy improved a lot since the attack stopped. Sainac had used the special function of the barrier to increase the density of the energy inside the barrier making that the healers could heal the injured people without worrying about the exhaustion.

Doing that was akin to not having any barrier as all the power was used to that, but thanks to that method the healers managed to save everyone’s lives.

Of course, most of them would have the scars of that battle for their whole lives; they couldn’t use elemental healing on all of them. Thus, natural healing had been the main spell unless the wounds were serious enough for being impossible to recover correctly with natural healing.

While they were waiting for some news, something fell in front of them at high speed as if it was a meteorite. However, after the cloud of dust provoked by the impact disappeared, there were only two people, a man, and a little girl, both with wings.

“The mission is a success, that city has been wiped out of this world.”

Some students felt their scalps numb when they heard the calm voice of Yale saying that a whole city had been wiped out. Moreover, they had heard that it was a rescue plan and nothing about wiping out that city.

“Wiped out? What happened? Is Ange well?”

Sainac didn’t let anyone else ask a question Yale before him.

“It wasn’t exactly on the plan, but Wyba’s beast horde was powerful enough to do it with the army support and a bit of my help. Ange is well for now, but I need to go back to Imperial City now, or she will be in true danger.”

Sainac was a bit relieved and a bit dejected; he liked that Ange had been rescued and that city destroyed, but Yale’s words implied that both siblings wouldn’t be in the Nacesai Academy after that moment. Moreover, Yale’s words implied that there was something wrong with Ange’s body which treatment couldn’t be delayed.

Yale and Ange were among the best geniuses in the story of the Nacesai Academy. In fact, Yale was the number one genius despite having been outside the academy for such a long time.

“Swordmad and George said that they would come with me to Imperial City. I will tell everyone here the same as I told to the army. Anyone can come with me to Imperial city, but soon a war will start, it won’t be safer than here. If someone wants to come with me, take a step forward.”

Just as Yale finished speaking, two people stepped forward of the group who didn’t dare to follow Yale.

Those two were Zack and Aizu; they had been eager to meet Yale again after six years, and both had decided to follow him even before knowing that Yale would recruit people to go to Imperial City.
