wasn't just the students who were unwilling to accept this humiliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a nearby tower overlooking the Academy grounds—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beatrice clenched her fists tightly, the sunlight around her seeming to dim as if absorbed into her seething rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air around her shimmered with a heavy, almost suffocating pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without warning, she slammed her fist into a glass window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, strangely, the glass didn't shatter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it dissolved silently, as though swallowed whole by her magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This man is too arrogant!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beatrice growled through gritted teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning toward the calm figure beside her—Vice Headmaster Kelin—she snapped,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kelin, why did you stop me earlier?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I had launched a sneak attack,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could have captured him without fail!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Beatrice nearly boiling over with rage, Kelin sighed and responded calmly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Beatrice, you overestimate yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Last time, against the Rose Duke, you barely escaped with your

the Rose Duke herself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even Eisen—who was stronger than you—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fell in mere minutes before Alan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you really believe you could defeat him with a sneak attack?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beatrice fell silent, unable to refute him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kelin was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she and Eisen were hailed as Lioncrest Academy's two greatest prodigies—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In private duels between the two, Beatrice had lost more often than she had won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By overall strength, Eisen was undoubtedly superior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, Eisen hadn't lasted more than a few minutes against Alan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she rushed in now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be nothing short of suicide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Beatrice's reluctant silence, Kelin stroked his chin thoughtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind drifted back to recent events—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving word of Alan's movements, he had meticulously laid traps around the magic railway,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>enhancing the lethality of the surrounding magic arrays through secret techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result had been impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Casualties among the passengers had exceeded a thousand that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan was not among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kelin still didn't understand how Alan had survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The area was a death trap—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the explosions hadn't killed him, the roaming spellbeasts certainly would have.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless, of course, Alan had some unknown method of survival—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>something even Kelin and the other masters were unaware of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that was true, then assassinating him would only become even more difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Listen carefully, Beatrice,\" Kelin said solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must not act—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not now,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not ever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Headmaster has already made arrangements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your task is simply to follow orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't let a moment of anger cause you to make a mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lioncrest Academy cannot afford to lose another top student!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beatrice remained silent for a long time before finally nodding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she agreed outwardly, her heart still smoldered with unwillingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew full well—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan's ambitions had never changed from the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eliminating Eisen—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was clearly his next
