"Okay, now tell me. What did you guys find there?" Letting go of Amanda, the dean asked.
"This," Old Man Abraham stepped forward and said. Pushing his and forward, he presented a greenish crystal to the dean.
"Interesting!" the dean muttered. Scratching his beard, he took the crystal in his hand and inspected it.
"Did you get it from all the portals?" the dean asked.
"Yes," Old Man Abraham and Amanda nodded their heads in agreement as they took out three more crystals and gave them to the dean.
"Nice work guys. With this, we will be able to have so much fun!" the dean said. A devilish grin on his face as he rubbed his hands in anticipation.
"Ahem…" The dean cleared his throat.
Glancing at the people near them, his eyes moved as he signaled Amanda and Old Man Abraham to dismiss them.
Sensing the dean's intention, both of them waved their hands and dismissed the people behind them as they then turned to the dean and asked,
"What happened,"
"To my office," The dean spoke. Gaining altitude, he turned into a streak of light and made his way to his office.
"Ahhh… Good to be back," The dean muttered. Sitting on his comfortable chair, he sighed his pleasure as he felt the tiredness and soreness of his muscles disappearing.
"Creaak…" The door opened. Amanda and Old Man Abraham walked inside as they looked at the dean, laying on his chair.
His composure was completely different from the one he displayed on the battlefield.
"Prometheus, you know what? I should make a video of yours when you are like this and upload it to the Academy's server. After all, everyone shall see the other side of their beloved dean," Old Man Abraham teased. He fished his phone out of his pocket and opened the camera.
"Leave it, Abraham. We still need to discuss what happened at the dungeon," Amanda spoke as she walked forward and sat on a chair besides the dean.
Leaning a bit to the side, she placed her head on the dean's shoulder and closed her eyes in comfort.
"Old Demon!" The dean called out.
"Yes!" The system appeared. Standing with his hands behind his back, the demon spoke, "I did what you asked me to,"
"What did you find? What of the kids?" The dean asked.
"The kids are safe. You have found some strong kids, I am sure they will become the pioneers of the future world. Also, they defeated the Goblin Queen in the Magical Realm. Right now, they are making their way back to the Academy,"
"Also, that Kid; Ray. He has some interesting things if I would say. He transformed into a draconic state and is already able to use the space element efficiently. Not to mention that his space element looks very different. If my guess is right, it's a derivative of the space element; it's the Void Element," Old Demon told.
"Enough. I will see the rest later on. Tell me if anyone got seriously injured," The dean stopped his system and asked,
"Yes, two were. One was impaled by a crooked blade while the other simply fell to the ground; Also it was that Kid Ray, who fell to the ground. Hopefully, it's nothing too serious," The system answered.
"Then what are you waiting for? Go back and open a portal. Escort the kids back to the Academy. However, make sure that you are not discovered. Dismissed," The dean's eyes widened at the mention of Ray and one other kid getting injured.
Hence, speaking in a hurry; the dean ordered his system to go and help the children get back to the academy safely.
Then, picking up his phone. The dean dialed the head nurse's phone number and called her,
"Hello?" The head nurse's voice sounded as she answered the call.
"Yes! It's the dean. I need to ask if there are some beds empty?" The dean asked.
"Really sorry but currently there are no beds empty. The whole infirmary is full. It is to the extent that some of the injured are just laying on the ground and waiting for their treatment," The head nurse told.
"Okay, then I have something to request," The dean said.
"Please don't be like that. Just order me, you are the dean after all," The head nurse said.
"Then listen. Some kids will be coming to the infirmary. I want you to make it your first priority to heal them and get them back in top condition asap. Also, don't you dare misbehave or do anything strange with them. Be on your best manners," The dean ordered. His tone suddenly changed as it turned oppressive.
Listening to the dean, the head nurse could only accept and follow the orders given to her.
"Yes sir," She answered formally and cut the call.
Turning around, the head nurse looked at her assistant and spoke, "Go and prepare some beds. We have very important people coming in," She ordered.
"But mam.." Her assistant countered.
However, the head nurse snapped as she said, "No buts. I don't care what you do. Just accommodate in the best way possible. It's an order from the dean himself," The head nurse spoke.
Sighing, she shook her head as she walked to the people needing to be healed and started to use her powers at maximum to heal everyone as fast as she could.
Meanwhile,
The Dungeon,
Sirius and Emma lead the group as they walked through the rubble. Trying to locate the portal that would lead them outside, both siblings did their best to lead the team outside the dungeon.
"Sniff..Sniff… This way," Sirius sniffed the air as he turned right and changed his direction.
Everyone followed the wolf as after Ray, Sirius was the one everyone trusted the most. Not to mention that Ray had elected him to be the leader in his absence.
As for Emma, she was at the forefront because of the nature of her ability. Not to mention the fact that she had recently leveled up and evolved into a being at the Magical Realm.
Hence, Emma sensed the surroundings to find any living being or any anomaly while Sirius used his keen ears and sharp sense of smell to look for direction.
On the other hand, Elina helped Tim as the injured man could barely walk and it was Elina's support that helped him.
As for Ray. He was still unconscious. Right now, he was being carried by Noah on an ice carriage made by Kid while Aella constantly checked up on him.
"Any luck?" Noah asked, tired of pulling the carriage. He massaged his sore arms.
"Still finding," Sirius answered as he kept on sniffing the air.
"Guys! Do you feel this?" Emma suddenly stopped as she asked.
Snapping her head in the opposite direction. She raised her hands as energy pulsed out of her. Her eyes took on a blueish hue as the whole area was scanned and every single aura appeared in her head.
"There," She spoke as she pointed her finger forward, "Everyone follow me. I think I have found the way out," She spoke as she hesitated in the air and hurried in the opposite direction.
Seeing her, everyone turned to Sirius as they waited for his confirmation.
Amused, Sirius nodded as he signaled them to follow his sister.
Seeing him nod, everyone's eyes lit up as they turned around and started to follow Emma.
Sirius also did the same. However, before running behind his sister. He walked to the carriage where Ray lay and picked him up.
Putting him on his shoulder, Sirius kicked the ground as a wind blew by and the werewolf disappeared into the distance.
"Swoosh…Swoosh…Swoosh,"
Sirius, Emma, and Kid reached first. In front of them swirled a white-colored portal.
Turning around, the three of them looked at each other as they tacitly agreed to wait for the other before making a move.
After a few minutes, the rest of the team arrived as they all looked at the portal in front of them.
"Now, what should we do?" Emma asked.
"What do you mean by that? Isn't it obvious? We are all going through it. I don't care where it takes us," Aliya said and walked forward as she made her way to the portal.
"Nope. You aren't going anywhere in haste. We have to think it through," Sirius appeared behind her as he grabbed her and lifted her in the air.
Then, turning around. He spoke, "We don't know where this portal would take us. Therefore, I and Noah would enter first and if it's safe. We will signal you to come for us," Sirius said as he motioned for Noah to get moving.
"Good Kids. Truly wonderful comrades. They will surely reach great heights," Old Demon floated in the air as he thought to himself. Looking at the students acting more maturely than adults who had lived for eons.
