Chapter 33 Bad Situation
Prince Jacob attacked again, and it seemed like nothing could stop the madness. Everyone screamed in panic and tried to save themselves.
"Stop! Please stop!" Sydney cried, her body trembling. Lea noticed something strange about Sydney.
"Syd, are you okay?" Lea reached out to touch her and noticed Sydney's body was starting to become transparent and fading until she was almost invisible.
Sydney used her powers as a defense, hoping that if she were invisible, nothing could hit her and hurt her. But that meant Lea had to save herself before she was seriously hurt.
"This is bad, Sydney has turned transparent. What about me?" She thought. She hadn't expected this to be so difficult, as she was trapped in the middle, and if she tried to move to safety, there was no guarantee she would escape unharmed.
The officers and supervisors who received information that there had been a fight in the academy hall rushed to it before there were any casualties, especially since the fight involved one of the king's sons who led Evangelia.
"Oh no!" Commander Roderick, one of the top officials at the academy, was shocked by what he witnessed.
Fights between cadets are not something new, it could be said that they happen quite often. But something as chaotic as this has only happened now. The hall was very chaotic, the walls were cracked and nothing remained of destroyed items. The cadets who couldn't save themselves hid behind the walls.
"Oh my God, what's going on here?" Mrs. Brigitte, the head of the dormitory, almost fainted when she saw the very chaotic condition of the dormitory hall.
"Stop it, both of you...!" Corporal Ludwig quickly acted to stop the two young people who couldn't control their emotions.
Nami stopped after hearing the corporal's scream. However, Jacob was still not satisfied before he could actually respond to Nami's attack.
"Stop, Your Highness...!" Realizing how stubborn the prince was, Corporal Ludwig was forced to shout at him to stop. He didn't know what had caused the prince's temper to explode so much that he couldn't think clearly.
Several men, including Corporal Ludwid, tried to stop Jacob's rampage, even though they knew it wouldn't work, given his powerful telekinetic abilities and how he could destroy the building if not stopped immediately.
"Why? Why can't my attacks hit you...?"
"Enough, Your Highness! Do you want to destroy this place?"
"That bitch, who is she? Why is she so strong?" Jacob continued to mutter. He couldn't accept the fact that someone else was so much stronger than him. He was the reincarnation of Leonidas, the great prince and descendant of Hades, the god of the underworld. He should be the strongest.
He tried to control his emotions after seeing the chaos he had caused. He didn't know what had gotten into him or why he was so furious since being defeated by a woman this morning.
"Calm down, Your Highness! Look at what you've done to this place!"
Jacob remained silent, his eyes darting around every corner. However, he still felt anger welling up in his heart, something he couldn't quite contain. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, before finally walking away with cool steps. However, instead of the prince, whom they had known from the start to be an esper with immense power, their attention was focused on Nami, who had overwhelmed Prince Jacob, unable to even penetrate his defenses.
"You, what's your name?" Commander Roderick asked with a sneer. Nami swallowed, feeling extremely anxious now. Rather than facing Jacob's attack, she was more afraid of the punishment she would receive for the chaos she had caused. She was terrified if this matter reached Levi's ears.
"N-Nami, Nami Ziegler, sir!" She said nervously. Commander Roderick stepped up to her and looked at her closely.
"Nami Ziegler? She must be the girl Zarius mentioned, the strong girl who can lift his body with ease." He thought.
"Miss Ziegler, I think I have a lot to ask you about what really happened here. Come to my office after dinner, do you understand?" Commander Roderick said with a cool yet calm reaction.
"Yes, sir!" Nami replied firmly. Although she was worried, she had faced situations like this many times.
Commander Roderick and the other officers left the chaotic auditorium. The other cadets looked at her, whispering.
"Lea? Sydney? Are you two okay?" She asked when she saw Lea and Sydney standing nearby. Their faces looked pale, as this was their first time facing such a chaotic situation.
"Are you really crazy? Are you out of your mind? What do you think you're doing? Are you going to kill us all?" Lea shouted in annoyance. She was panicked and terrified. She wasn't an esper like Sydney, who could use her powers to disappear and remain unharmed. She was just a normal human who wanted to become a Yeager.
"Lea, I-"
"If you really want to fight, get away from us first! You're so annoying."
