BOOOOM
As the dust cleared and Donna's and Edmund's features were revealed for everyone to see, silence prevailed over the surroundings.
The silence was short-lived as Edmund's hoarse voice echoed across the space.
"Now!"
Unfortunately, seconds after his voice resounded, nothing happened. Confusion spread amongst the guests inside of the hall.
"What's going on?"
"What happened?"
"Isn't that Miss Longbern? Who is the other guy?"
Taking a look at her surroundings, Donna's eyes were sharp. Turning her attention back to Edmund, a faint smile appeared on her lips.
"It looks like whatever you were planning did not work"
Edmund's face was expressionless. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Thibaut's panicked expression.
Instantly, he knew that something had gone wrong.
"That's Edmund Rice! Villain Rank 198!"
Recognizing Edmund, one student shouted out loud. Following this, the previous somewhat calm atmosphere tensed.
"What!?"
"What do we do?"
"Ahhh...I don't want to die!"
Several students turned pale from fright whilst others outright shook. Despite the professors' attempt at calming down their students, more and more students were starting to panic.
It had to be noted that there were far fewer professors than students.
"Calm down, everybody! Don't forget who you are!"
Noticing that the situation was getting out of control, with her eyes shining, Donna shouted. Hearing her voice, as if in a trace, everyone instantly calmed down.
That's right.
Who were they?
They were the proud students of the world's best academies. The first thing they learned from the academy was that they always had to remain cool-headed. Panic did not help anyone!
Moments after, everyone finally completely calmed down. A solemn expression appeared on everyone's faces.
"We're currently under attack! Get your weapons out and watch over your surroundings!"
Satisfied with the result, with her eyes focused on Edmund, she continued.
—Whiiing!
Without being told what to do, everyone instantly brandished their weapons and cautiously looked towards their surroundings.
"Brilliantly done"
Staring at Donna, Edmund complemented. To have calmed everyone down in a matter of seconds, Edmund was impressed.
"I suggest you give up"
With her brows knit, Donna's remained fixed on Edmund. She couldn't carelessly attack.
She was currently surrounded by students.
Given her power, the aftershocks of her and Edmund's attack could potentially lead to students getting hurt.
Fortunately, by some stroke of luck, Edmund's plans seemed to have failed. If not Donna couldn't have imagined how the situation would be.
She needed to stall for time. At least not until the other professors sorted out the students and checked the perimeter.
She was not the only ranked individual present. As long as nothing unexpected happened, they would be able to quickly resolve this issue.
"I guess we'll make do with what we have..."
'I hope you're right'
