The Battle Begins

Selma Payne's POV:

The reveling crowd gradually calmed down. They looked at each other, not understanding what had happened.

"She found out," Dorothy said calmly in my ear. "I saw magic waves overflowing from her body. She's trying to contact the southern Duke!"

This was bad, if she found out that our communication had been cut off, she might very well use the real Carolyn to threaten us!

I couldn't let this go on. I gently nodded at the werewolf grandmaster, who was disguised as a coachman. The other party understood and took out a small signal flare from his pocket.

Pop!

Thick green smoke instantly dyed the sky green. Then, the crowd shouted, "Everyone, begin the emergency evacuation! Listen to the guidance of the warrior beside you and leave the school immediately!"

The warriors hidden in the crowd took off their disguises and arranged for the panicking students to escape in an orderly manner.
