Chapter 338: Academy is in Danger Part-7
"Don't come near me!!!" the girl screamed, her voice quaking with a mixture of fear and desperation. Her wide, panicked eyes darted around her,
The students and professors who had just begun to relax after their initial relief now found themselves on edge, their hopes dashed by the complexity of the situation.
Before panic could fully set in, Aether who had been staring at the map suddenly pointed to the academy map, specifically at four locations within the major circles, "I believe the real crystals must be located at the centres of these domes. We need to organize four teams to head to each of these locations."
Alaric stared at Aether, feeling a strange mix of frustration and helplessness. Here he was, a Vice-Principal of one of the most prestigious academies, reduced to taking orders from a servant. 'What kind of curse have I been saddled with?' he thought bitterly. Yet, despite his annoyance, he knew there was no other choice.
"Alright," Alaric said, his voice regaining its usual authority. "We'll form teams. Elite students will stay here to protect the students, while the professors will search for it"
Just as he began organizing the teams, a sudden, panicked shout echoed through the stadium. "V-Vice-Principal!!"
Alaric spun around to see a guard staggering into the room, his body a horrific sight. Blood streamed down his torn uniform, his limbs grotesquely mangled, with parts of his chest ripped open, exposing the raw, torn flesh underneath. The sight was so shocking that several students gasped, their faces draining of colour.
Everyone horrified!
Helena instinctively moved to rush to the guard's aid, but Finnian grabbed her arm, his expression stern. "You're not allowed to use your powers, remember?" he whispered urgently.
"..." Helena hesitated, her heart aching with the need to help, but she nodded reluctantly.
The guard, his voice weak and trembling, managed to gasp out, "T-That monster... it's moving..." His eyes rolled back, losing their colour, and with a final shudder, he collapsed, lifeless, on the ground.

Alaric stared at the lifeless guard, his eyes narrowing in cold calculation.
He had sent a few guards to investigate the bell after hearing Aqualina's report, thinking that, at worst, the children might have been frightened by a few oversized spiders. He never anticipated the situation would escalate into something so... grotesque.
His gaze shifted to the Elite class students, their faces pale with barely concealed fear. Alaric sighed, "You guys will search for the crystal," he commanded, his voice hard as steel. "A few professors will stay behind to protect the children. The rest, come with me..."
Meanwhile...
In the shadowy depths of the academy, something malevolent stirred.
A swarm of spiders, their movements unnervingly synchronized, scuttled through the dark corridors, their countless legs tapping against the cold stone floor in a chilling symphony.
Suddenly, a sharp 'crack' echoed through the halls. One of the crystals, small, shattered violently.
"Hmmm? Looks like someone found one of my toys," a mechanical voice chuckled, the sound reverberating with a twisted sense of amusement.
"Well, it will take some time before they find the rest of my toys." As the mechanical noted the remaining three crystals.
The spiders gathered before a massive, ominous door..... it was the entrance to the Origin Pillar.
The mechanical voice hummed thoughtfully as if contemplating its next move. "Let's find my final piece for perfecting 'The Thing,'" it said, the words dripping with sinister intent.
