Chapter 63:The Journey Back to Jengraimukh

The sun was just beginning to set as Mri's team, along with Principal Basanta Kutum and Miss Ananya Kutum, boarded the vehicle that would take them home.

After everything they had been through, returning to Jengraimukh Academy felt unreal.

> "We actually did it," Ayang murmured, looking out of the window.

> "We won… but at what cost?" Tanuja said, tightening her grip on her bag.

Jasmine didn't respond, lost in thought.

Mri leaned back against the seat, his eyes half-closed. Victory. Survival. Loss. It all felt like a blur.

And yet, the weight of everything wasn't gone.

Principal Basanta Kutum sat beside them, his usual authoritative presence softer than before.

> "You all have made Jengraimukh Academy proud."

> "Rest now. This is only the beginning of your journey."

A Silent Confirmation

Back in Arunachal Pradesh Academy

The moon hung high over the academy. A cool wind swept through the courtyard, carrying with it the scent of damp earth and burnt metal.

Headmaster Dhruv stood near the ruined training grounds, staring at the battlefield that had witnessed so much bloodshed.

Footsteps echoed behind him.

A woman stepped beside him, her presence sharp and commanding.

Her silver hair shimmered under the moonlight, and her piercing golden eyes locked onto Dhruv.

She was no ordinary person. She was from the higher council.

> "Your mission is completed," she said, her voice smooth yet firm.

> "All the Monstrous Beasts are now dead."

Silence.

Headmaster Dhruv didn't react immediately. His hands tightened behind his back.

> "Good," he finally said.

> "Then it's over."
