Officer Roma and Officer Spencer took a few seconds before realizing that Vale's group successfully escape the Fog Formation Circle!
Furthermore, they escaped in a way that they have never thought of! It was only possible unless you're a Formation Art Expert!
It should be impossible for even many graduating students of each Arcahe Academy much more for freshmen students!
However, they did it… They escaped by making a hole in the Fog Formation and they didn't even leave it open!
As soon as they escaped, the hole they created was repaired as they got out! It may be the self-repair effect of the Fog Formation itself or it could be their doing but it was still something they have never seen before!
Officer Roma immediately glanced in the direction of the two 9th-year students of Adaereth Academy.
"Hey! This Fog Formation was bought from your Faction's Silver-Class Rune Designer, I think he was called Roger or Rogene, but a bunch of first-year students managed to break out! I think we should get a refund for this. Do you know where that guy was?" Officer Roma complained as she stood closer to the spot where Vale's group disappeared.
Wesley and Leigh looked at each other with a frown as they were also baffled by how Vale's group managed to escape. Nevertheless, they didn't like how Officer Roma was looking down on the expert of their Faction.
"There was no way that the Fog Formation was at fault. If it is faulty, you can try copying what they did and escape from here. Furthermore, we don't know any Silver-Class Rune Designer at our current level."
Officer Roma knows this as well but she just can't help but blame someone.
She cannot make a hole out of the Formation Circle!
"Don't worry, Officer Roma… It's just a couple more minutes and the whole formation will come off." Spencer said to calm her down. It was indeed annoying how three 13 or 14-year-old practitioners escaped from them but nothing good will come out if she stayed angry.

At this point, Vale's group had no idea how stressful they have become as they hurriedly returned to their inn…
As they reached the building, they were able to see the students of Rakmiths Academy including their Professors exiting the building.
They noticed Vale's arrival and couldn't help but look at them with a complicated gaze…
Seeing their reaction, Vale knows that Professor Stella solved the problem for them.
"Should we tell her that we probably made another problem?" Vale considered for a moment as he looked at Philip and Priscilla…
The two didn't seem to like the idea as they feel like they were some sort of troublemaker if they report another problem to them.
"Let's just inform her tomorrow, I'm quite tired..." Philip said after a moment of hesitation.
"Or you can just let her know secretly. I don't think you need us to explain the matter anyway… You can also take Philip's crystal as another piece of evidence." Priscilla suggested.
In the end, they let Vale take care of this matter.
Vale wryly smiled and just agreed to them.
Anyway, he felt that these two are still growing up and needed to sleep early… As an adult, he decided to just take care of the matter without complaining instead of passing it to children.
After entering the inn, the people looked at them with interest as they probably heard the whole story at this point.
Vale and the other two didn't care about their gazes as the siblings went upstairs to rest while Vale was invited by Professor Stella into her room.
It's the only place where they can talk privately after all.
"Professor, what happened to your meeting with them?" Vale asked after entering her room.
"Thanks to the recording you guys have saved, everything went according to plan. We didn't even have to check the recording as they were already intimidated and confessed everything." Stella said with a proud smile on her face.
It seems that she's genuinely happy about winning that discussion…
"Then what happened to Dale Morvell. He testified that he saw us beating up those first-year students."
"Ha! Don't worry, his 9 Contribution Points will be taken and shared by the three of you." Professor Stella said with a smile but after noticing Vale's confusion she immediately explained.
"Don't think too lightly of this punishment. Any contribution point is hard to collect… It's not simply because missions are difficult to accomplish but also because the number of missions or achievements that can be completed is limited…"
"Is that so…" Vale muttered.
"Yes… We also can't be too harsh on him since he's still a capable student in our Academy… A few months later and there will be the Twelve Academies Competition… He'll be one of the participants so he still has some privilege on this matter."
Vale wryly smiled as he can't really do anything about this kind of rule within the Academy. Well, the world isn't fair and this academy wouldn't be fair either.
"Do you know what can you get from 3 to 9 contribution points?" Professor Stella suddenly asked.
Vale's eyes lit up as these are the things he wanted to know. Since he's only a first-year student, the Professors weren't discussing things related to contribution points. Normally, first-year students wouldn't earn any points at this point after all.
However, now that he had a few Contribution Points, he certainly had the right to know more about it.
"Please tell me, professor."
Professor Stella smiled and answered. "You can get low-grade to high-grade Mortal Rank mystical items with that points. On the other hand, you'll get Noble Rank items if you have 10 to 20 Contribution points."
"So it was like that… How about the Royal Rank items, professor?"
"They're a bit more difficult to obtain as you'll need 60 to 90 contribution points. That's not easy to collect."
"Ah? The jump on that price was huge…" Vale commented as he thought that it would only be around 30 to 50 points.
"What about the Sovereign Rank, professor?"
Professor Stella looked at Vale with an amusing smile as she answered with a chuckle. "There were only 3 Sovereign Rank items in the Academy… Each of them is worth 1,000 contribution points. You probably need to save the Faction or perhaps block a meteor that was about to decimate our academy to get that many points."
