While the two were arguing, Zavier noticed the five men who appeared at the castle's entrance through the wall.
A black magical boundary encircled them, and the source of magic was in the one with the short stature, who was surrounded by the other four.
Even the Time Space Eye couldn't see past their outward appearance. Zavier felt a sudden surge of dread. These uninvited guests had to be there for a reason, or they wouldn't have needed to use magic boundaries to hide their forms in Caesar University.
"There's another person around here with a magical barrier; this one isn't friendly, though; if there is an immediate threat of violence between the two sides, we will leave," Zavier said quietly.
Kacie's nerves tightened instantly at the sound of his words, as did her muscles. "Are you sure? What if something happens to you?" she asked, her face filled with concern.
Zavier tried to appear reassuring to his lovely cousin.
"I've had more experience fighting these people than you," he reassured her, gently smiling. He touched her chin and turned her face towards him so she could look into his eyes. As he spoke, he squeezed her hand. "All you have to do is stay behind me and keep your distance; nothing bad will happen to me."
Kacie looked down at where he was holding her hand, and even in the dim light, she could see how concerned he was about the situation. Her face brightened at the thought.
She nodded slowly and let go of his hand, wrapping both arms around him protectively. Her hands were on the back of his head, and she lightly pressed her forehead against his shoulder.
"Don't be concerned about me," she said softly. "I'm not going to let anything happen to you."
Zavier smiled as he wrapped his arms around her waist. He buried his nose in her soft hair, closing his eyes briefly before releasing his grip and turning to face the intruders.
His intuition warned him that things were not going well for these strangers.
If the two sides clashed, it was actually good news for Zavier and the others because the more chaos there was, the easier it was to hide. He might have to reveal some of their strength today if they don't.
"What are you sneaking around talking about?" yelled the male graduate at the door.
"I succeeded in sneaking in just now, my mana is also depleted to the critical point, and I am also mentally exhausted," Zavier continued, "there is no problem for them to care about me."
"So, do you want to go out? You three brats would be better off just surrendering, and we don't want to get into a fight with the Adam family," the man said impatiently.
Zavier didn't say anything because, from where he stood, it was clear that the group had arrived outside the door and started to cast magic.
Even if the group decided to fight, how would they fare against magical barriers? And what chance did he or the others have of escaping safely?
Zavier desperately wanted to flee, but he couldn't leave without taking at least one life with him, and he knew that even he wouldn't be able to get out the door before being apprehended. This meant that the only option he had was to leave.
Still trying to appear weak and tired, he murmured, "I've already been defeated tonight; I'd rather not repeat the same fate." He fell over, unable to support himself. Kacie rushed over to him right away. She took his arm in hers and helped him back up to a sitting position.
As soon as he stood up, the man in front of him opened his mouth in surprise. "How?! Are you telling us he cheated?!?"
'ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ N(ov)elBin',
That statement sent shivers up Zavier's spine.
Even though their strength was weak, the two seniors, a man and a woman, felt a huge wave of magic coming from behind them at this moment.
They looked behind them quickly, and when they saw that the other party was casting magic, they frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
The five individuals beyond the gate did not respond, and the two seniors were not slow to react, only to see their bodies lit up with white light, three times in a row.
But in the middle of this three-way standoff, a chanting voice from the outside came in.
"God of the Forest, your light shines on this land, growing the world's never-failing tree, and the fruit of the Divine Tree gives us a new eternal divine kingdom."
"We will return to Your embrace as Your children, and the Eternal Divine Kingdom will be our eternal home!"
Zavier's ears were filled with the ethereal female voice.
The chanting voice suddenly changed Zavier's color, and a lot of magical light filled the whole east building of St. Ansa Castle.
His gaze swept underground, only to discover a green tree root scurrying between the earth's layers. They kept getting tangled up and linking up until they made a huge half-circle that went all the way around the East Building.
It appeared to be digging itself deeper and deeper every time its roots touched the soil, making it harder and harder for others to attack them.In an instant, the root began crawling towards the north building of St. Ansa Castle, and in less than thirty seconds, a hole was carved inside of the northern building.The chanting voice eventually ended."Come on! There must be more enemies around!" Except for Zavier, the rest of the students followed closely.
Then countless sky-high trees rose from the ground, their massive branches connecting in the sky, quickly forming a massive sphere.
"Kekkaishi, it's Kekkaishi!" the boy yelled, "The power of the professor's defensive magic formation is being repelled from the outside. Who the hell are you guys? What do you want?" he continued, warily glancing around while backing away further into the ball of protection.
Zavier was equally perplexed at the time. He wasn't afraid of the other party's power, but he didn't understand why he had to cause such a commotion.
If the goal was to teach himself a lesson, the price was too high. Even if the school gathered a large number of mages after the competition to re-restore the East Building, the amount of manpower required would be substantial.
Except for Kekkaishi who was holding skull's ,his eyes narrowed slightly outside the building.
The other four drew their weapons from their waists and rushed like ghosts into the East Building.
The building where Zavier and his men were housed had begun to tilt vaguely to the left as a result of the crustal changes underground.
Zavier knew there was no way out this time; these mages were supposed to come after him and kill him. Otherwise, there would have been no need to make such a fuss.
His right hand was clenched around the magic stick in his hand at this point, but he was irritated.
For uncle Marquis Val, he felt even more untrustworthy. What about the promised covert protection? The adversary pursued him all the way to Caesar University.
Saying what not to tell him is to keep these lies from him. The greatest risk is not knowing who the enemy is.

Pooh! Pooh! Pooh! Pooh!
While two innocent seniors were hit with two swords each, Zavier slowly stood up.
The sword was extremely fast, one person attacked the heart, the other instantly stabbed the throat. These four were unquestionably not nobody.
It was impossible to tell what occupation they were based on their movements alone.
Zavier stood up and walked towards the door as the magical shield on his body vanished.
"Even if you come at me, you don't have to kill innocent students," he said coldly to the few people in front of him.
But before he could inquire, the four men had banded together to attack him.
The first person on the left was suddenly filled with holy light all over his body as they approached Zavier.
Because of the holy light, the long sword in his hand grew three or four inches out of thin air before he arrived.
"Exterminate the heretics!"
He yelled at the three men standing behind him. One stabbed at his throat, another attacked towards his heart, and another grabbed into his cane.
This was no ordinary nonverbal cooperation in an attack; these were supposed to frequently train or go on missions together.
A large amount of information entered his mind in a split second.
,m Zavier crossed the skin of his index finger with his thumb. The killers noticed right away because the magic was moving.
Out of nowhere, a red, like a crystal-clear long sword, appeared, blocking the first Paladin.
The longsword then split into three pieces, blocking the attacks of the other three in a row.
"Blood Blade! Heretics perish!" roared the leading paladin, only to be met by a massive hammer of holy light slamming through the upstairs ceiling and blasting towards Zavier.
The paladin then swung his sword repeatedly, his longsword moving so quickly that it was barely visible to the naked eye.
Zavier no longer needed to conceal himself. His speed was increasing, blood flowing under his control into a shield block, a longsword stab, a hammer slamming, and an arrow shot.
He was clearly one against four, but in such a small space, he appeared to be walking with ease.
With the Time Space Eye, he completely restrained these four killers, who were clearly superior in physical abilities.
Every attack they launched was visible to Zavier, and he could predict their next move.
Zavier didn't finish them off quickly because he wasn't just watching them and analyzing who the killer side might be. He seemed to be stalling for time because he wanted to know how many people in this school were involved in this.
