Chapter 165 Elysia's Victory.

As the skirmish unfolded, alliances formed on the fly, and the students demonstrated resourcefulness in adapting to the unforeseen challenges.

The battle against the resurrected skeletal army intensified, but within the chaos, a glimmer of unity emerged—a shared resolve to confront the adversities that Warhaven University had unexpectedly thrust upon them.

The Summoning Grounds trembled as Elysia, reveling in her malevolent whims, conjured two towering Skeletal Dragons. The students, already grappling with the relentless skeletal army, could only watch in horror as the colossal creatures materialized before them.

Emma, her healing spells strained from the previous skirmishes, gasped at the sight. "Are you kidding me? Dragons? This isn't fair!"

Mark, attempting to rally his peers, gripped his greatsword tighter. "We can't let them overwhelm us. Stick to the plan, disrupt Elysia's control!"

Aiden, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, unleashed torrents of fire to fend off the skeletal dragons. "I can't keep this up for long. We need to finish this quickly!"

Elena, navigating the chaos with acrobatic grace, called out to Mia. "Mia, target Elysia. We can't afford to let her toy with us any longer!"

Mia, drawing her bow with determination, replied, "I've got her in my sights. Just keep those dragons off me!"

As the skeletal dragons unleashed torrents of dark energy, the students found themselves entangled in an even more daunting challenge. The battlefield became a chaotic symphony of spells, clashes, and roars as the students struggled against the overwhelming forces.

Elysia, perched on an elevated vantage point, observed the chaos with a sinister grin. "Let's see if these dragons can truly test their mettle. Adapt or crumble, students."

Amidst the pandemonium, the students desperately coordinated their efforts. Aiden, channeling the last reserves of his magical prowess, focused on destabilizing the skeletal dragons. "I'll create an opening. Once Mia gets a shot at Elysia, we might turn the tide."

Mia, positioned for the critical shot, steadied her aim. "Just a clear shot. That's all I need."

However, the Skeletal Dragons, infused with dark energy, proved formidable adversaries. Their bony wings unleashed destructive gusts, and their skeletal maws spewed ethereal flames that devoured the students' defenses.

Mark, fending off a relentless skeletal warrior, yelled to his comrades, "We can't let them break us! Hold the line!"

Elysia's laughter echoed as she observed the unfolding spectacle. "Such determination. But can you withstand the true test of strength?"

The students, now facing the dual threats of the skeletal army and the formidable Skeletal Dragons, were pushed to their limits. The battlefield became a crucible, testing their resilience and unity in the face of overwhelming adversity.

In the command center overlooking the Summoning Grounds, the principal and teachers watched with furrowed brows as Elysia's summoned Skeletal Dragons wreaked havoc among the beleaguered students. Shock and concern painted their faces.

Principal Lawrence, his gaze fixed on the chaos below, murmured, "This was not how the tradition was supposed to unfold. We never anticipated such powerful summonings."

Professor Williams, a seasoned combat instructor, clenched his fists. "This has gone too far. We need to intervene before any more students get hurt."

Professor Roberts, a mage specializing in defensive spells, nodded in agreement. "We should have controlled summonings, not this onslaught. It's a breach of safety protocols."

The principal, addressing the teachers, stated, "Prepare to engage. We can't let this escalate further. We'll use barrier spells to contain the situation. Secure the injured students and initiate a lockdown."

As they made their way down to the Summoning Grounds, Professor Williams voiced his concerns. "What if Elysia resists? She's proven to be formidable, and our primary goal is to protect the students."

Principal Lawrence, his expression resolute, replied, "We'll handle Elysia if she becomes uncooperative. But right now, our priority is ensuring the safety of the students."

Meanwhile, in the midst of the chaos, Professor Roberts approached the principal. "Sir, the students are overwhelmed. We need to act swiftly."

The principal nodded, casting protective barriers around the injured students while coordinating with other teachers to contain the summoned creatures. The battle within the Summoning Grounds had shifted from a test of strength to a dire situation requiring immediate intervention.

Back in the command center, the principal continued to monitor the unfolding events. "We'll address this incident comprehensively after we secure the area. Elysia's actions have jeopardized the safety of the students, and we must rectify this situation."

As the teachers engaged in a coordinated effort to quell the chaos, the principal contemplated the repercussions of Elysia's unforeseen rampage and how it would impact the future dynamics of Warhaven University.

The Summoning Grounds fell into an eerie silence as the teachers confronted Elysia. Her skeletal army dissolved into ethereal wisps, reabsorbed into her ominous Death's Scythe. The principal approached Elysia, his expression a mix of admiration and concern.

Principal Lawrence acknowledged Elysia's formidable power. "Impressive display of strength, Elysia. However, there are rules and traditions in place, and your actions have disrupted the harmony we seek here."

Elysia, her demeanor composed, responded, "I apologize for the chaos. It wasn't my intention to cause harm, but I won't tolerate being attacked without reason."

Professor Williams, his stern gaze fixed on Elysia, chimed in, "The tradition was meant to be a test of skill, not a massacre. We can't allow this to happen again."

Elysia, despite the apology, maintained a stoic facade. "I understand, but I won't be a puppet in your orchestrated tests. If someone attacks me, I'll defend myself."

Professor Roberts interjected, "There are rules to follow, Elysia. We must ensure a safe environment for all students."

Principal Lawrence intervened, seeking resolution. "We need to find a balance. Elysia, your strength is a valuable asset, but it must be channeled constructively within the established framework of Warhaven University."

Elysia, begrudgingly accepting the terms, nodded. "Fine, as long as I'm not targeted without cause, I'll play by your rules."

The principal, sensing the tension, attempted to lighten the mood. "Let's move forward together. There's much you can contribute positively to our community, Elysia."

As they walked away from the Summoning Grounds, the principal initiated a conversation about integrating Elysia's unique abilities into the university's curriculum. The teachers, though cautious, recognized the potential benefits of having such a powerful student among them.

Warhaven University, with its intricate balance of tradition and adaptability, faced a new chapter, and Elysia found herself navigating the complexities of academia with her unparalleled strength and a cautious alliance with the faculty.

The announcement of Elysia as the strongest first-year student echoed through the halls of Warhaven University. Students murmured in awe and curiosity as her name resonated among them. Elysia, standing in the midst of the crowd, received a mix of admiring glances and apprehensive stares.

Professor Roberts, who was tasked with making the announcement, spoke into the microphone, "It is my honor to declare Elysia as the strongest student in the first year. Her exceptional abilities and power have set her apart."

The applause was a blend of genuine admiration and subdued apprehension. Elysia, maintaining her composure, acknowledged the recognition with a nod. The principal, seizing the opportunity to maintain order, continued, "Elysia, your strength is an asset to Warhaven University. We hope you'll use it wisely and contribute positively to our community."

As Elysia walked through the campus, whispers trailed behind her. Students discussed the implications of having such a powerful figure among them. In her new residence on school grounds, Elysia found a mix of fascination and wariness from her peers.

In the communal area of her new residence, a group of students approached Elysia with a blend of curiosity and caution. One of them, a determined young man, spoke up, "Elysia, we've heard about your strength. Are you planning to join any clubs or teams?"

Elysia, ever cryptic, replied, "I'll consider it. For now, I'll focus on my studies and training."

Another student, more skeptical, questioned, "Do you plan to challenge the upperclassmen? We heard they're quite formidable."

Elysia's eyes gleamed with a hint of mischief. "Perhaps. Strength should be tested, after all."

As the conversation continued, Elysia's enigmatic aura left an indelible impression on her peers. Some admired her strength, while others remained cautious, unsure of the impact she would have on the dynamics of Warhaven University.

Elysia received the coveted card with 10,000 points, a valuable currency within the confines of Warhaven University. The ornate design and shimmering holographic insignia signified its importance, making it a sought-after possession among students. As Elysia left the administrative office, the whispers and stares intensified. The envy among her peers was palpable.

In the common area of her residence, a group of students gathered, eyeing the card with a mix of fascination and jealousy. Clara, a studious young woman known for her exceptional memory, couldn't help but voice her thoughts, "Can you imagine what we could do with 10,000 points? Elysia is so lucky."

Another student, Marcus, chimed in, "I heard you can buy rare books, equipment, and even access to exclusive training areas with those points. It's like a ticket to the best parts of the university."

Elysia, ever composed, acknowledged their curiosity. "Points can indeed unlock various opportunities. But their value lies in how wisely they're used."

A daring voice from the back of the room spoke up, "Elysia, can't you spare some points for your fellow students? We could use a boost too."

Elysia's response was cryptic yet intriguing, "Earning points is part of the journey here. Each student has their path to walk."

As the conversations lingered on, the students contemplated the possibilities that came with such a substantial amount of points. The allure of rare items, advanced training, and exclusive resources fueled their aspirations.

In the following days, Elysia navigated the campus with a blend of confidence and mystery. Her points became a symbolic representation of her influence, and students observed her every purchase with a mix of awe and speculation.

One day, as Elysia perused the points-based marketplace, she encountered a group of students who gathered courage to approach her. Samuel, a determined young man, spoke up, "Elysia, we've been wondering if you could share some tips on how to earn more points. We're struggling a bit."

Elysia, her eyes betraying a hint of amusement, offered cryptic advice, "Observation, adaptation, and seizing opportunities. That's the essence of accumulating points."

The students, while still envious, appreciated the subtle guidance. Elysia's journey at Warhaven University continued to be marked by her enigmatic presence and the symbolic power wielded through the coveted points.
