Chapter 163: Eyes of a Dragon and the Human Heart (27)

༺ Eyes of a Dragon and the Human Heart (27) ༻

Senior Neris’s body disintegrated as if crumbling away.

It was a strange stealth technique as if blending with the shadows. As such, with my permission, Senior Neris left the scene.

I had heard most of the information I needed anyway.

Of course, I had missed the intel about the ‘Eyes of the Dragon.’ However, it wouldn’t hurt to receive that information along with the additional investigation results regarding the ‘tunnel.’

After all, the information that was truly crucial was when the incident would occur.

Speaking of the ‘Homecoming Festival,’ it was an event that was less than a week away. In other words, time was running out.

With a timeframe now established, it was time to start preparations.

The Homecoming Festival’s procession was massive. It made sense to think that the Dark Order would deploy a similarly large force of demonic beasts to oppose it.

The larger the scale of the two opposing forces, the higher the risk of casualties.

At this point, cancelling the Homecoming Festival or preventing the attack in advance was impossible. So, there was only one solution.

To minimise the damage, all available forces needed to be mobilised and the procession’s security had to be reinforced.

The problem was that I lacked both the authority and a reasonable basis for the academy to accept my proposal.

It was a difficult situation.

A sigh involuntarily escaped my lips.

Anyway, I wasn’t always one to have all the answers, but it was really frustrating to be caught off guard like this every time such a situation arose.

Still, I decided to put those worries aside for now.

There was no point in pondering over it right now, as the answer wouldn’t come easily, and I had another immediate problem to deal with.
