Principal Arrived... So What?

Outside the Academy,

The atmosphere was tense, the air heavy with unspoken fears and the lingering scent of rain-soaked earth.

The once vibrant academy grounds were now eerily silent...

"Please, calm down, Vice Principal!" Delphine implored, her voice trembling slightly as she placed a hand on Alaric's arm. She could feel the tension coiled beneath his skin, his barely restrained power threatening to burst forth.

The dome stood before them, fragile yet impenetrable, a cruel reminder of the lives still trapped inside. The mere thought of Alaric's touch destroying it sent shivers down her spine.

"There are still hundreds of students inside," Kai echoed, his voice laced with urgency, "Please, calm down, Vice Principal!" His eyes darted toward the dome.
