Father Alfred P.O.V

"This wasn't supposed to happen; a seal this strong shouldn't weaken" I whispered in my head. As I began to fear that if, in any way, Dante exposed any more of his power, I wouldn't be sure if the seal would hold up. I looked at the unconscious dante, whom I placed on his white bed. It was evening, and the markings on his right hand had begun to fade a bit. I could still feel traces of his ominous mana pouring out, even in his docile state. This showed the extremities of his condition. 'If things get so bad...' I thought.

'I will have to use it; I have to go…' I made up my mind, as I headed toward the door, but then Immediately, I saw the door fly wide open, and Trinity entered with a worried face. She came to check on Dante.

"Father Alfred," she suddenly called out to me in a cry-laced voice. It was obvious she had been sobbing ever since. I couldn't help but feel pity for her. It was just too overwhelming. Dante wasn't just anyone to her; he was like an irreplaceable gem. At this point, I knew someone had to convince her and tell her that everything was going to be alright. I had to play that role.

"Do not fear; the Dante we know will come out of this. I'm sure you know him to be very strong." The environment unwounded a bit, and Trinity managed to crack a smile. I laughed heartily at her, but at the same time, I knew that Dante's making it out now was temporary. I had to act fast, I thought internally. 'I had to…'

...... I suddenly sensed something so familiar and domineering that I couldn't mistake it for anything else. I couldn't pinpoint the exact location, but I knew it was near.

It was so near and was approaching. Nowhere else but the academy They weren't one, two, or three; they were in numbers. They were horribly fast, and only one of them had such evil mana. His speed was different, and just then I was sure he was the one, but I wondered why now of all times.

I suddenly stood up, trying to hang my robe hastily.

"Trinity, they're here..." I called out to trinity, she stood quickly, understanding what I just said. I then ordered, "Go inform Rin; tell her to mount the seniors to be on guard; tell all the remaining students to stay in their hostels."

'This is serious' Trinity thought, as she quickly ran out. My head was a hot mess at the time, but I had to stay calm. Immediately, I cast a barrier over the school hostels, leaving just the premises bare.

MAGIC TECHNIQUE: 

HOLY ART: CELESTIAL SHIELDGUARD

Authors POV:

Suddenly a transparent-like force field appeared and coated the school hostels, leaving just the academy premises. It was the infamous. " celestial shield guard" One of the most impenetrable defenses ever created, but although it came with a price, it was rumored that the caster's mana was to be shortened by half until a month went by. But Father Alfred could take the risk.

He had sworn that he would in no way let them get to Dante and the remaining students under his care.

"Dante," Father Alfred suddenly remembered. He had to go get the solution to Dante's seal problem, and fast. Father Alfred had to act now. He had calculated the time the 11th executioner would get there if they continued at that speed. It was nighttime. He could make it if he went now.

The seniors were mounted around the hostel barrier, just by the academy premises. Amongst them were Rin, Trinity, and two others that Father Alfred trained himself. These four were the strongest in the whole academy. After the bao incident, there was a low chance that the academy had of surviving at this point. The other seniors stood firm by the buildings; they weren't as experienced as the top 4, but they could still offer help at least. At this point, all they could do was wait until nighttime.

BOOM...

Suddenly, a group of 80 Hamjis invaded the academy. Everyone was startled as they asked the questions.

"Weren't they supposed to strike by midnight, damn it?" One of the seniors commented, but for Trinity, there was no time to think; all she felt was the pure desire to protect the hostels, as she then ordered

"NOW," as some of the seniors summoned their chronicles, and we were already casting their spells at the hamjis.

"Remember, only holy mana or pure mana can permanently get rid of these demons!" Rin shouted, running towards the Hamji crowd with a dead stare on her face. She pointed out her hands while summoning her chronicle beside her as she sprinted.

'Magic technique: total concentration'

"Inferno incineration!" Rin blasted a very large torrent of flame that burned all the hamjis to piles of burning flesh, as they didn't regenerate back from that move due to the very large concentration of mana present.

Rin kept ravaging. As a senior with blond hair, red eyes, and an average build, he ran straight towards a horned hamji and started to charge up a sword coated in green mana. The hamji swung its right arm towards the boy, but instead he jumped on the hand and used it as a way to propel himself towards the neck of the hamji.

'Weaponry technique: total concentration!

"Infusion: gale blade!" He appeared instantaneously behind the hamji, severing its head off, and continued to do this for about 10 hamjis present, with each of them not generating back from the attack.

"Nice one, Luca!" A big-built teenage boy, with rough dark black hair and black eyes, charged at a very muscular-built hamji, which had about four horns, two on each side. The boy's body started to glow a thick blue color as his speed increased. He appeared to move in just blurs.

'Aurora technique: total concentration!'

"DRIVE: BOLT!" He burst through the giga hamji and continued to do the same for all of the remaining hamjis after it, killing a total of 30 hamjis in just one tackle. "Hahaha, now that's how you get it done!"

Immediately, the rest of the seniors charged furiously at the hamjis, and RIn led them to the battlefield as they clashed with the remaining hamjis.

Trinity fastened her swords as she dashed into the cloud of hamjis and started spinning waves of holy magic.

'Total concentration!'

"Infusion: holy dice!"

Tens of dozens of the hamjis started to fall at her feet, and they all didn't stop the onslaught until all the hamjis were dead. The students fought gallantly and were ready to die for the sake of the school. Fortunately, the injuries sustained by the students weren't that severe or life-threatening. The medical squad could take care of the wounds, though the scene was gory and most of them had lost at least 50 percent of their mana. This was just too much for them; they tried resting and midway catching their breaths, until...

...... A larger, hungrier, and even more massive hamjii appeared, but was accompanied by a bright reddish-purple beam of light from the heavens that lit up the sky at the scene. What was before their eyes was nothing like anything they had ever seen before.

ROARRRRRRRRR!!!

The monster roared furiously. This was so loud that the core of the academy shook, causing everyone on the terrain to stagger. Shockwaves flowed through everyone present, and that was enough to make them feel that this monster was far out of their league. The monster's aura filled the surrounding area, making it hard for them to breathe. They were gasping. Rin and Trinity were weak now, but they had no other option but to stand strong in front of the students. The two other students of Father Alfred came too and arranged themselves beside Rin and Trinity. At that point, they were the faces of the school. Rin, out of bravery, started saying something until she raised her voice loud enough for everyone present to hear it as she directed it towards her fellow seniors. "Listen up, everyone! In this world, we all face challenges that may seem impossible to overcome. But let me tell you all something: the moment you doubt your own strength is the moment you let failure win."

They all heard their ears open as they all listened to her daring speech, regardless of the fact that the big hamji was already coming their way.

"We're not defined by the obstacles in our path but by our determination to rise above them. Our journey is filled with pain, sacrifice, and setbacks, but that's what forges our character. So let's stand together, support each other, and never waver in our pursuit of victory. Believe in yourself and your potential, and you'll find the power to change not only your destiny but the destiny of this world."

"YEAAAAAHHHHHHH!" All the students shouted, and as they all stood their ground, Trinity glared at the beast. She then brought up her sword in an x-defense, and then her body started to get encased in a very bright cyan aura that kept on glowing brighter and brighter as the seconds passed.

"Are you sure you want to do it right now, senior Hashima?" Luca asked, keeping his eyes straight forward at the beast heading their way.

"Luca. Father Alfred has already entrusted me with the safety of you all. So I'm not planning on taking anything easy." Trinity glared at the beast, and everyone who was present was starting to feel her mana presence increasing rapidly. "Besides, it's been a long time since I've ever used this mode."

"Surge" she summoned her glowing chronicle beside her as she continued to glow even brighter.

Weaponry technique: full concentration'

"Bruno mamoru!" She cast, making the encased aura around her crack off, revealing her in a white pearl and outlined with a cyan glow at the edges of her armor.

"Now... let's get serious." Trinity spoke about charging towards the beast, triggering everyone else to follow her lead. This act gave them the strength they never knew they had, and just there, they all made a roar of new strength, and they charged this single monster with every ounce of strength they could summon. They couldn't care less if the battle was lost. All they cared about was giving their best and making the academy proud.
