Adrianna entered the academy through the portal created by Professor Ziu. When she entered with Lia all tied up in ropes of white lightening, everyone in the academy gasped. Ilsa came over, almost running. When she looked closer at the state in which Lia was in, she was shocked and shouted at Adrianna in front of all the students and professors.

"What is this nonsense? What have you done to Lia? Release her immediately! You cannot go around capturing ministry people like that!

"

Adrianna looked at Ilsa with cold expression.

"Madam, no one other than the competitors were allowed to enter the competition, so how did Lia enter? Was there a lax in security?

"

Ilsa pursed her lips. She couldn't answer Adrianna, so she deflected the question and instead asked,

"Have you no shame Adrianna? She is your aunt! This is what you do to your blood relatives? You are indeed the most disgusting girl I have ever come across!

" All Ilsa wanted was for Adrianna to release Lia. Ilsa was scared that their secret would come out and wanted to divert the attention of all those who were listening.

"You haven't answered my question, madam,

" said Adrianna, still maintaining a calm and cold expression.

"How did Lia enter the competition arena?

"

"Lia is a senior colleague and a member of the academy's administration. She can go in and out of the arena anytime she likes. Who are you to question her whereabouts?

" shouted Ilsa on the top of her voice.

"If that is true, then how come none other professors entered the arena? And how is it that no one had any clue she was even there? Or is it that you were the only person who knew that she had entered and you didn't want to inform the ministry? As far as I know, I am quite certain that even the professors are supposed to receive permission from the ministry to enter the competition grounds,

" enquired Adrianna.

"Or did I say something wrong?

One of the professors answered,

"None of the professors are allowed to enter the field. They are only allowed to create a portal for the student to return to the academy when he or she has completed the quest, or when in danger.

"

"Shut up!

" shouted Ilsa, sharply turning to look menacingly at the professor,

"Or I will suspend you from the academy.

"

The professor instantly became quiet.

"Lia had been suspended from the ministry because of irregularity in her affairs after sending a wrong notice to the school. However, when I talked to the people from the ministry, they said that right notice had been sent to the school,

" said Professor Ziu, looking at Ilsa, clearly accusing her of misdeed.

"Utter nonsense! I would never do that! What would I gain?

" countered Ilsa.

"Then how come the word 'neotide' in the notice got replaced by the word 'werewolf'?

" asked Adrianna.

"Adrianna!

" screamed Ilsa.

"You are overstepping your boundaries as a student by wrongly accusing me. Remember, I am the headmistress here and I can easily suspend you from the academy! Now, release Lia or I will suspend you now on the basis of excess violation of the school's code of conduct.

"

"Isidorus!

" shouted Adrianna, summoning him.

Every person present stared at Adrianna as though she had grown two horns. How could this half-witch even think of summoning Isidorus? He was the most esteemed person in the wizard kingdom and it was impossible to even catch a glimpse of him! Who was she to summon the great wizard?

To everyone's shock, Isidorus appeared in front of Adrianna, along with two other people. Ilsa immediately recognized them. They were the ministry people who had been involved in the enquiries against Lia. Ilsa froze. She didn't know what to do. She would have never imagined that Adrianna was capable of calling forth so many important and influential people. Her stance changed immediately.

"Isidorus… Sirs…

" She bowed in front of them.

One of the ministry people asked,

"Ilsa, we warned you and left you alone only because we thought you had embraced the right path. However, looking at today's scenario, we believe that things have drastically changed. Without the knowledge of ministry, no professor can enter the arena and harm the students. According to our reports, there was an attack on Adrianna which was started by Zola. However, we saw Adrianna deflecting a death spell, which Zola couldn't have cast. Obviously, someone was colluding with her. And who could that have been?

"

Isidorus became impatient. He looked at all the professors and roared,

"How did Lia enter the competition field?

"

None of them had an answer. Ilsa was now cornered. Isidoris looked at her.

"I- I have no idea…

" she replied.

"The ministry monitored the movements of all the competitors, and we found Adrianna's movements to be most suspicious when she fired her flare to save the healer of the Blue Moon Pack. When the healer was brought here, we took him into our custody and interrogated him. He revealed that he had been abducted from his house by a witch,

" said one of the ministry men.

Ilsa started to panic.
