Blaring alarms, the likes of which students in academy cities around the world rarely heard, reverberated across a certain prestigious academy south of the Valenzia Region.
The Colzen Academy students' hearts inevitably raced at the sudden, anxiety-inducing sound.
They had, after all, never heard the school's alarms activate with such intensity.
To the faint-hearted students, it sounded as though the world was ending.
A few even screamed in panic.
"Second- and first-year Colzen Academy students, follow your Survival Lecture Instructors and take shelter in the bunkers beneath the academy grounds. The city is under attack by terrorists," announced a monotone voice through mana-powered speakers.
"Third-year students, report to Instructor Brodley and help guard the academy gates."
"Fourth-year students, assemble at the training grounds; the deans will meet with you shortly."
