As soon as the pink-colored fog appeared, Rezen immediately covered his nose with one hand. He was also about to retrieve a purifying potion from his farm when his eyes constricted in surprise
At first, he thought that the fog was poisonous. Although he can guarantee that no poison with strength at the peak of the Junior Rank can kill him but what if this poison reaches the standard of the Senior Rank?
There were already three magic beasts at the Senior Rank that appeared, who could say that another one that can use poison will not appear?
However, the pink fog was thin and the visibility was not that much affected. As such, Rezen and the others can still see their surroundings. The next scene that they saw instantly surprised them
Instead of the pink fog harming the mages what it does is actually similar to the Ghost Berries but it has a much wider range
The magic beasts turned pink in color and they started massacring each other as if the others just killed their own parents, wives, and children. They were so brutal with each other that the scene they created would cause one's hair to stand
A scene of carnage is seen everywhere as blood, flesh, and bones are ripped into pieces. The scent in the air turned pungent
"Honey!" Treen suddenly cried out and before Rezen and any of the other students could react, the next thing that they saw was another sickening scene in a different sense
They saw the respected and powerful Headmaster of the Tryst Academy kissing Treen. It wasn't even just a simple kiss but rather a torrid one. The type of kiss that involves aggressive movement of lips and tongue. It gave them goosebumps
It was basically already known to everyone the relationship dynamics of these two but it was still something to see that personally
Fortunately, the kiss didn't take that long before the two ended it and the Headmaster buried her lover into her bosom
"You scared me! When you sent me the distress signal, I was terrified!" The Headmaster said with worry visible in her tone
Turns out that although Treen is kinda idiotic in some ways, he still knows how to preserve his life. He actually sent a distress signal to the Headmaster early on which was the correct decision
If the Headmaster didn't arrive in time who knows what would happen when the Instructors arrived? All of the students might have died already by then
"Honey, go help Instructor Feather first. She's in danger, fighting three magic beasts at the same rank as her at the same time!" Treen said out of genuine worry
Instructor Feather might not be the friendliest of them all but she is still the head Instructor of Rezen's batch. Naturally, she pays a lot of attention to them aside from teaching them a lot of things that greatly improve their progress as mages
"This matter is serious and I must investigate it personally. If I also cannot find the source, I will report it to the Guardian immediately. For now, all of you are exhausted, go back into your rooms to rest" the Headmaster said in more of an order
This is not the time or place for these students who are merely at the middle stage of the Junior Rank to be in
Still, the Headmaster waited until the other Instructors and Assistant Instructors arrived before he let them go. Since magic beasts already appeared out of nowhere once, who can say that it will not happen again?
The Headmaster doesn't want these students who barely survive to die immediately right after this kind of thing happened
"Headmaster, what do you think about this situation?" One of the Instructors asked
He too is a Senior Rank mage and in fact, he was already very old. All of his hair already turned gray and he has the ancient vibes off him
He was probably the closest to the Headmaster's power and authority inside the Tryst Academy
"I don't know yet but since the magic beasts came out from that gate, the answer should be in it" the Headmaster replied and she along with some other Instructors entered the gym to inspect the gate emitting scarlet light
On the gate, pink chains can be seen wrapped on it and the chains are preventing any magic beasts from coming out of it
"I-I have never seen such a thing. Just what kind of magic is this?" One of the Instructors muttered as she could not figure out whatever this scarlet gate was
She didn't have even a small idea of what it was and the same was true for most of the professors
"Normally, I would close off this place to study such a mysterious thing but since it enables magic beasts to come inside the city without any warning, I have to report this immediately to the Guardian" the Headmaster said after seeing that none of them have any clue on what this scarlet gate is
If not for the fact that the sudden appearance of magic beasts would put the City in danger and risk, the Headmaster wouldn't immediately conclude that they could not discover what this thing was
It's just that they cannot risk the entire city just for the sake of a gate that they seemed as a treasure trove of mysterious knowledge
"Send a letter to the Guardian and the Council immediately and there should be at least two Senior Mages on standby to guard this gate. I already sealed it with my magic but who knows if it can destroy the seal?" The Headmaster ordered and they were about to take some more measures when the scarlet gate suddenly trembled before its outline became smoky until it dissipated just like smoke
"It vanished just like that?" The Senior Mages thought in their heads. They still wanted to study this mysterious gate but it didn't even last long. It hasn't even been 30 minutes since this scarlet gate appeared and it already vanished as if it didn't even appear in the first place!
