Unholy Seraph...

On the Western Island created from the expanded school grounds...

A crowd of about a hundred people gathered around a fire inside a large warehouse that had previously been used to store food and all sorts of processing equipment.

These people all had one thing in common, which was the runes in the shape of inverted crosses engraved onto their foreheads. They all had rosy cheeks, and expressions filled with life as they engaged in quiet conversations with one another.

"They seem hopeful..." 

"The ignorant relish in their bliss..." 

Two men stood out from the crowd due to their clothing which was different from the rest. One of the men had a peculiar book hanging by his side. The book was decorated with shiny gems of various kinds and had various runic inscriptions on its body which included a rune that greatly resembled an eye placed directly at its center.
