Squinting her eyes slightly, Dina tried to see who it was from a distance, and she immediately recognized the white hair, incredibly handsome figure of Atticus that was rapidly approaching their location. .𝒎

Dina quickly stood up from her chair in shock, “Looks like your wish came true,” she suddenly said.

“Huh?”

Elara came out of her daydreaming and followed Dina’s gaze to see what she was talking about. And upon seeing Atticus her eyes immediately widened in shock.

“Shit!” She muttered, immediately bringing out a mirror and started fixing her hair and checking to see if she looked okay and presentable.

Dina stared down at Elara, her expression conveying just one thing, ‘the **?’

Suddenly, before both of them could even understand what was happening, the earth started subtly quaking, its intensity increasing by the second until the trembling reached even the top of the watchtower they were on.

“What?” Dina muttered swiftly turning her gaze back to the forest instantly regretting her decision.

Behind the rapidly approaching figure of Atticus, thousands of rabid blood-red-eye beasts surged forth like a terrifying wave, each of them directly on Atticus’s tail, heading straight towards them.

Dina’s form immediately started trembling hard as she started backing away from the edge while pointing at the direction of the beasts behind Atticus, mumbling, “lo-look,”

“Is he almost here?” Elara asked, having already brought out her makeup kit, her eyes still on the mirror.

“Look!” Dina shouted.

“Jeez, okay, I’m looking,” she reluctantly removed her gaze away from the mirror and directed it towards where Dina was pointing, and her eyes almost bulged from her eye sockets as she saw the tsunami of beasts running behind Atticus heading directly towards them.

“W-what i-is t-his,” she stammered, also immediately shivering as she dropped her mirror on the floor.

Dina shook her head, clearing away all her thoughts as she swiftly composed herself.

“We need to act now!” She screamed, immediately equipping her bow strapped behind her back, swiftly retrieving a large arrow with a big fiery tip, without hesitation, she fired it into the air immediately.

Upon reaching the air, the arrow suddenly exploded into a blinding brilliance that seemed to shine even more than the sun.

It was clear that regardless of where anyone was, they would be able to easily notice the light.

Dina turned her gaze to the side to see Elara trembling while tapping her artifact, “What the hell are you doing!” Dina screamed.

“I-I’m trying to contact the l-leader!” Elara replied.

Dina gazed at her for a second, completely astounded by her stupidity. Quickly snapping herself out of it, she swiftly grabbed her collar, “He’s the one leading the horde here, you fool!” She berated.

And without giving her a chance to react, she suddenly pulled her and started running below towards the bunker Atticus had created for each watchtower.

…

Atticus’s running figure turned his gaze up towards the skies where the signal had been shot. ‘That should give them enough time to prepare,’ he thought.

Just as he was running, an AI voice suddenly sounded in his head,

Aurora Ravenstein is calling you.

“Answer the call and set it to audio,” Atticus swiftly instructed his artifact, making Aurora’s screaming voice sound instantly,

“Atticus! Where the hell are you!? We’re under attack!” Aurora suddenly exclaimed.

Atticus chuckled a bit, finding Aurora’s reaction funny. “Quit your whining. I’m almost at the camp; get everyone ready for battle,” Atticus calmly responded.

Aurora instantly erupted over the call, “You bitch! Who’s whin-” but her ramblings were cut off by Atticus suddenly ending the call.

‘This girl,’ Atticus chuckled a bit more as he kept running, the thousands of beasts directly behind him, on his tail.

This had been what Atticus had decided to do back in the cave.

Instead of single-handedly killing all the beasts alone, Atticus had decided to lure them all back to the expanse so that his division members would all be able to fight them and gain more fighting experience and, most importantly, gain academy points.

Although Atticus could have seriously benefited from hoarding all those points, he was always looking at the bigger picture.

His division members becoming strong meant less work for him and more time to train and do whatever he wanted to do. This was the better choice to make.

Atticus suddenly increased his speed as his form tore through the terrain at blinding speeds, leaving the thousands of beasts in the dust.

After a few seconds, Atticus finally reached the walls of the camp, and he immediately spotted Aurora and the other Ravenstein youths standing at the top of the wall.

Getting close to the wall, Atticus simply jumped, his form shooting high up in the air, easily reaching the top of the wall and landing coolly.

“You! Why did you hang up!” Aurora immediately exclaimed as he landed, walking towards him.

Atticus released a short sigh, but before he could even reply, Aurora continued, “We’ll continue this later, hmph,” she said, turning away from him.

‘At least she knows when not to bicker,’ Atticus smiled, seeing her walking towards the edge of the wall, gazing at the incoming beasts.

Atticus turned his gaze towards the other Ravenstein to see them all wearing excited grins on their faces.

Nate stood at the edge of the wall, his broadsword already in his hands as he stared down at the beasts with a huge grin. He suddenly turned towards Atticus and spoke, “Ah, Atticus, I love you for this!” he exclaimed.

Lucas couldn’t help but shake his head, hearing his meathead of a friend as he walked towards Atticus.

“Are they ready?” Atticus asked as Lucas got to his front.

“Yeah,” Lucas nodded with a small smile, gesturing below the wall inside the camp where more than a thousand youths all gathered all donned in their full armor and weapons, all grouped orderly into different units.

Seeing them, Atticus nodded in acknowledgment, “Good job.”

Turning his gaze back towards the approaching horde, Atticus spoke, his voice resounding throughout the camp with intensity,

“Prepare for battle.”
