We are here for you (2)
"miss, I am saying this for the fifth time, but we do not offer any discount to government employees, the discount is only for students." The waitress smiled at the golden-haired young woman in front of her
Kelly was standing in front of the cashier with her arms crossed. "Why aren't there any discount for government employees? Don't you know that we are the class that suffers most from economic conditions?"
"Excuse my rudeness, but do you have any children?"
" no...."
" Are you married?."
" no..."
" do you live with your parents?."
"Well...no, my parents live with my brothers in one of the northern cities."
"So, can you tell me about the harsh conditions you are suffering from?" The waitress narrowed her eyes
"..." Kelly fell silent helplessly
"Sigh, okay, give me a banana drink with cocoa and hazelnuts." Kelly took out the money resignedly
"Thank you for ordering from our store." The cashier received the money and was happy because she would get rid of this stubborn customer
Kelly left the store upset because she didn't get the discount she came here for
"Those idiots said there were discounts..." Kelly cursed in a low voice. "They should have mentioned in their announcement that the discount includes students only."
"Hmm?..." Kelly heard a loud car horns coming from in front of her
Traffic stopped in the street because of a man standing in the middle of the street
The man had his head lowered and was wearing loose, somewhat dirty clothes
" Did you see how he appeared?."
"Did this guy fall from the sky or something?"
Kelly's ears picked up the whispers of the people around her
Fell from the sky?... Kelly narrowed her eyes and looked at the man in the middle of the road suspiciously
The man raised his head and looked at Kelly in return
Suddenly a fireball appeared in his hand and he threw it towards Kelly
A rock wall appeared in front of Kelly, protecting her from the huge explosion that occurred
"Kyaaa!..."
" What is happening here..."
"Is there a fight?"
Anxiety began to spread among the students
The car horns stopped when the explosion occurred
The magnitude of the explosion resulting from a ball of this size is absolutely unnatural... Kelly analyzed her enemy and concluded that there was something abnormal about him
Kelly raised her hands and the rock wall separated from the ground
She kicked the rock towards her enemy
The man threw another fireball towards the rock wall
Baaam!
The rock wall crumbled into small pieces
"Look!..." One of the students pointed in a certain direction
Everyone's attention turned to the direction the student was pointing towards
There was smoke coming out of the academy's administration building, and this could be clearly seen considering that this building was the tallest inside the academy. Then a huge explosion occurred, causing the building to split into two parts and the upper part of it to collapse to the ground
"Hell..." Kelly took off her glasses, looking at this in amazement
Even she had never imagined that someone would be crazy enough to do something like attacking the Imperial Academy
This academy did not only represent the empire, but rather represented most of the races, kingdoms, and tribes in the world because it brought together the elite from all these parties.
Therefore, attacking it will be met with a violent reaction from all these forces
Is it possible that the people who are after Alexander are responsible for this attack?
Kelly realized that it had evolved into something completely different
She must get to Alexander before those people can get to him
The sound of a siren rang throughout the academy
"All students and civilian employees must enter the shelters immediately..."
A robotic voice rang out and gave instructions
This sound kept repeating several times
A huge cylindrical object appeared at the beginning of the street
Then two other cylindrical objects quickly appeared in the middle and at the other end of the street, and its doors opened
These objects were doors that allowed access to underground safety shelters
Each street is provided with three entrances at both ends of the street and the middle so that there are no problems or crowding when students try to enter.
Panic was overwhelming the students, but a member of the Student Council present at the place was able to calm the students down and began organizing their entry into the shelters.
Kelly remained standing in place, watching the suspicious man's movements in case he tried to do anything
But he remained standing in his place as if he was waiting for everyone to leave the place
Although no one imagined that this might happen one day, the students were trained on a scenario in which the academy was attacked, how they would react to the event, and what measures should be taken. All students went through this training at the beginning of each year
So it only took four to five minutes for the place to become completely empty
"Now..." Kelly hit her fist on the other hand as she moved towards her enemy. "Let's end this because I have a brat to protect."

"Hoo..." Jeff let out a deep sigh as he tried hard to catch his breath
He stood in front of a man with short red hair, wearing a black coat, and carrying a long red sword
He's just here to try to distract me...Jeff gritted his teeth
The academy informed him that UFOs had been spotted above the academy
Before they could do anything, giant birds appeared above the academy, and dozens of intruders descended from them and launched attacks on the academy's administration building.
After these initial attacks, the intruders suddenly stopped and allowed employees to evacuate the building before blowing it up
They allowed the students to enter the shelters and did not obstruct their way
All indications indicate that they are not here to attack the academy, but for another purpose
Jeff was sure they were here to get Alexander
But he can only stand here helplessly because he cannot overcome the person in front of him
Every time Jeff tried to move, this swordsman got in his way
The swordsman's movement was light and skillful, and at the same time he was cautious, as if he did not want to clash with Jeff in an exaggerated manner.
How should I get out of this situation?...Jeff thought deeply as he counted the seconds in his head
He informed the higher authorities in the capital as soon as he received a report about the appearance of foreign objects above the academy
But it would take forty minutes for the imperial forces to arrive here
These intruders attacked at a time when the Academy's Dean and important figures such as the Chosen Ones were outside the Academy to attend the former Emperor's birthday.
Even members of powerful families like Seraphina Medgar and Maria Ford were currently in the capital
Their first mistake was that the academy was left in its weakest defensive state
But Jeff did not expect that the members of Bloody Crescent would dare to make such a crazy move as attacking the academy
The second mistake is that they did not anticipate the strength of their enemy
They did not think for a moment that Bloody Crescent would have such skilled warriors as this swordsman in front of him
The worst possibility was that there were people stronger than him who had come here
It's good that they don't want to commit a massacre here
If they wanted to, they could prevent students from entering the shelters and take them or take them hostage
Jeff's mind kept thinking of a way to reach Alexander before the members of Bloody Crescent could do so
The swordsman yawned comfortably and did not seem to be in a hurry or worried

"What happened here..." Rustin looked at the chaos outside and barely any words came out of his mouth
Gray was trembling next to him and couldn't take his eyes off this sight
Alexander returned after changing his clothes and preparing himself
He wore a black coat that contained several pockets with potions and a light armor underneath, and a leather belt equipped with sites on which daggers were attached. His own saw was attached to the belt at the side of his waist
More important than that is the red spear in his hands
"..." When did he manage to prepare all this?
Rustin looked at him with surprise and some helplessness. They remained standing here in shock, but Alexander was moving indifferently, as if he did not care about the academy being attacked.
"This is not the time to be astonished." Alexander put his hands on Gray and Rustin's waist and carried them easily
" Wha...?" Rustin wanted to evade Alexander's grip, but it was strong
Alexander moved towards the window very quietly
Why is he heading towards the window?... Gray felt bad
Rustin's face turned pale as he thought about something
It was a crazy idea, but that's exactly the kind of thing Alexander does
Alexander stood on the windowsill and looked down
Rustin looked at him with pleading eyes
But Alexander was not affected by this and jumped without hesitation
"I knew it..." Rustin shouted when he realized that his prediction was correct
