Upon hearing this news, Emery was about to ask the most important question, but the headmaster answered it before he could even speak a word.
"Don't worry, the intel said they were safe at the time, at least most of them." Headmaster Delbrand said, eliciting a sigh of relief from Emery. "But we don't know for how long, therefore we need to take action as soon as possible."

Headmaster Delbrand immediately gave an explanation as soon as he saw Emery's expression.
