Lucen hovered above the shattered battlefield.
His eyes moved across the injured students and the wreckage surrounding the academy grounds.
Then his gaze settled on Seris.
"You still have the healing potion?" he asked calmly.
Seris nodded weakly.
"Yes…"
Lucen gestured toward her.
"Drink it."
Then he added in a slightly softer tone,
"Don't worry. I already secured the girls' student residence. Your sister is safe."
Relief immediately washed across Seris's face.
She nodded silently and quickly took the potion.
Lucen then glanced toward Ron, Jax, Selene, Maera, and Drevin.
"Seris."
"Yes, Vice-Chairman?"
"Heal the students who came with you."
Seris nodded again.
"I will."
Lucen slowly lifted his gaze toward the sky.
His expression became serious.
"Aldren is still fighting."
"I'll help him."
The next moment—
He vanished.
Lucen shot upward into the sky like a streak of light.
As he ascended, the temperature around him began to drop rapidly.
