"This… Did he just…?" Jane's lips opened slightly as she saw what had happened. "But that room was completely reinforced. How easily did it break? Is that even possible?"
Even though she was surprised at the abilities showcased by Lucifer, she knew that she couldn't be delayed.
She had to inform the others urgently as she knew that all the responsibility would fall on her shoulders since she was the one who left them inside without taking any precautions.
"Aia, ring the alarm! Inform all the guards and teachers that there's an intruder who attacked the Academy, and he's escaping! Also, keep an eye on those three! I want their exact location every second."
At the same time, she also started running in a certain direction in haste. Gwan and Aaron were brought out of the room by Jane. She had already told them to leave the place as exams were dismissed before Lucifer's attempted escape.
In fact, the two of them were already halfway gone when they heard the sirens everywhere.
"Warning! An intruder has entered the academy! All students are told to stay inside their rooms and not go out unless needed! The ones who ignore the orders will be expelled!"
The same warning echoed everywhere, surprising most of the unaware students that didn't understand what was happening.
It was the first time in the existence of this academy when an announcement like this happened.
Only two people had any idea about it. However, even they were surprised. The last they had seen, the intruders were inside the examination hall, trapped by their teachers. There was no way for them to escape. So why this alarm? Could it be that those two weren't alone? There were more intruders?
Without thinking much, they made haste and ran back to their safe places to stay safe.
…
In the meantime, Jane had informed all the teachers about what had happened. All the attacks that happened all around the academy were the work of a single person? This was what came as a surprise for most of the teachers.
A single person was able to inflict so much damage to their restricted structure? Moreover, that person was from Triton?
"Intriguing. Triton isn't as weak as we thought, it seems." The Dean stood up. "I'm giving you all the permission. Find those intruders and execute them at sight."
…
As a straight opening was made in the roof of the examination hall, Lucifer flew up, only to realize that there was another room on top. And on top of that, there was another room.
The examination hall was underground, and there were four more floors on top. However, one bolt of his was able to make an opening in all of them.
After a short flight, he came out of the academy.
"What… Is this place…?" As soon as Lucifer stepped out, he stopped mid-air.
Even Salazar looked around, stunned. "It looks like we are underwater?"
There was literally no sky here. As they looked up, they could only find a spherical dome which seemed to be going as far as the eye could see. It was as if the whole place was covered by an upside down glass bowl, and the end didn't seem in sight.
Moreover, that wasn't surprising. What was actually surprising was that only water could be seen outside the dome. It was as if they were in a city which was surviving inside the sea.
Normally, there weren't any clouds either. It was only after Lucifer utilized his ability that some clouds appeared under the glass, which had helped him.
Moreover, since they were underwater at an unknown place, there was no sun at sight. All the light that came down was coming through massive lights that were placed on the glass dome at the top.
Above them was the glass, while under them was the Academy which was damaged extensively.
The academy wasn't small either. It was even bigger than the Academy that Lucifer went to by another ten times.
There was nothing much around the Academy. It was as if the Academy was made in an isolated place, far away from the main city, so students could receive some privacy.
"Which direction?" Salazar asked Lucifer. They had to select a direction if they wanted to leave and get to the city.
"Directions? They'll tell us the directions themselves…" Lucifer declared, folding his arms and waiting.
It was an Academy that knew about Triton. And from the way they talked, it was evident that this wasn't Triton.
They didn't just select a random direction and hope to find a way back home. Even the students at the academy weren't very knowledgeable about Triton. The chances of random citizens knowing the way back home were even less.
The ones who could certainly answer them were the teachers of this academy. And Lucifer wasn't in a mood to waste time elsewhere.
Salazar understood what Lucifer was implying, but Jenilia was still thinking that Lucifer was being impulsive.
However, she also knew that no one was going to listen to her. If it was in her control, she wouldn't have attempted an escape and would have apologized. However, she wasn't in control. Her life was in the hands of Lucifer. She could either die with them or survive.
She released a mouthful of breath before shaking her head.
"If that's the path we walk, then so be it. I'm also joining." She cracked her knuckles.
"You sure? I thought you stand back in this too?" Salazar asked, smiling.
He had noticed how Jenilia never participated in battles. She was just an intern in the Warlock Council, after all. She wasn't anywhere close to as strong as them.
"Nope. If we're dying anyway, I might as well die fighting."
"Well, aren't you optimistic about our chances?" Salazar smiled wryly.
"We don't need your help. Just stand back like always. You'll only be a distraction," Lucifer calmly stated without even looking back.
He could see a group of people coming out of the academy, standing on what appears to be a surfboard. However, those boards were flying for some reason. With the help of those surfboards, all the teachers from the academy approached Lucifer high in the sky.
"You're still here. We thought we would have to find and chase you. Did you already give up?" One of the teachers asked.
"Hahaha, of course, he did." Another teacher started laughing. "This Triton rat must have thought he could escape, only to be shocked by the revelation that he's inside water. We can't blame the kid.. Let's just get it done with."
