The trio was soon finished with their lunch and Aria used his tactical watch to scan the code to complete the payment. A huge smile blossomed on Jasmine's face as she observed this but Dron was worried about Aria spending his savings all at once.
The person in question was totally unbothered. Previously Old Seven had provided Aria with sufficient merit as a form of apology for the incident that had happened before.
"Is there anything specific that you need to buy?" Aria asked as they exited the Pavilion.
"Umm, I don't have anything specific as such, all I needed was to buy some clothes and such things." Jasmine thought and replied.
"Alright, let's have a look at the stores in the city then." Dron said enthusiastically.
They were just about to head to the streets as Aria's senses suddenly picked up something. He hurriedly moved his gaze towards the source and located three people walking side by side. All eyes were focused on them as the ones with the crimson patch gazed at them with faces depicting helplessness, whereas the rest of the cadets were puzzled.
***
[ Host has detected a foreign presence ]
[ Accessing database for reference ]
[ Insufficient Energy Level ]
[ Capturing Data for Future Analysis ]
***
Aria was puzzled by the series of text messages on his retina.
'Athenaeum? Strength issue again?'
[Affirmative Host]
-Sigh-
He sighed and tried to use the detection feature in order to classify their strength.
On the other hand no one tried to bother them, as they were guided by the third person. A woman dressed in the combat uniform of the Academy with a crimson collar patch and three golden stars on it that depicted the rank of Lieutenant General, and had a [ Level: 7.0 ] strength floating above it. This kind of strength was the topmost figure of the Academy.
Beside the Lieutenant General were two beings that were totally different from the humans. They were the two Envoys that had just been wanting to visit Humanity's City as their last destination for their visit. Orn, the one with a exoskeleton two times that of a human being and the unnamed envoy covered in a robe that created a curtain of darkness around the wearer.
'Are they the other races? But how come they are here?'
Both of these beings had [ Level: Unknown ] floating above them.
Various thoughts raced around his mind as he did not notice that his gaze was constantly on the envoys.
Different from the other gazes, the primal instinct of Orn hurriedly locked on Aria. His vertical pupils locked on the small frame that seemed just like the woman beside him.
{Lieutenant Sara, who would that homan?} A voice sounded within Sara's mind who was guiding the envoys as Orn pointed towards Aria and conveyed.
She looked at the location that the fingers on the claw were pointing at and noticed Aria along with Jasmine and Dron. With her superior senses she immediately noticed the wristband on Aria's hand.
"That is one of the students of my Academy. Is something the matter, guests from afar?" Sara said, trying to sound as polite as possible.
{A student, you say? It's impossible for the aura of a student to threaten this noble one. He might as well be a spy.} After conveying his thoughts, Orn's huge figure suddenly vanished from the Lieutenant's vision.
A bad feeling surged within Sara's mind and her battle senses kicked in.
On the other hand, Aria too sensed it as soon as Orn's figure vanished.
[Warning; Host is in danger]
[Removing seal]
Athenaeum's warning triggered in his mind and it hurriedly unlocked the primal vital force within his body as Aria instinctively crossed his hand in front of his chest.
-Boom-
-Crack-
Just then, Orn's large pillar-like hand landed on Aria's hand as the ground below cracked and a huge shockwave swept throughout the area. Jasmine and Dron were blown away from the shockwave and it was then Sara reacted. Her figure flashed and she immediately placed herself behind the duo catching them.
The duo landed on her arms and she could observe that they had lost consciousness.
Rage welled up in her eyes as she gently placed the duo on the ground.
A vague phenomena formed behind her from seven different lights and an immense force emanated from her body.
-Crack-
The ground started cracking from the sheer pressure being emanated from her body. Lines of vital force coated in seven different colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet became visible to everyone.
Orn sensed something from beside and turned his gaze towards Sara. He frowned his brows and hurriedly conveyed his thoughts.
{Lieutenant, this person might be a spy from the enemy force. We should immediately---}
Before Orn could finish, something flashed at his side.
It was Sara, she had arrived beside Orn and her fist immediately landed on the latter's abdomen. Orn only felt an immense force penetrating his strong body and creating havoc within. He took a few solid steps behind and a stream of blue with specks of gold was released from the corner of his mouth.
Before he could reply Sara took another step and appeared in front of him. Her small figure that only reached only till Orn's waist took a jump and swung her right leg, landing it firmly on her head.
Orn's huge body felt a threatening pressure and it immediately launched like a cannon on the streets, creating a huge crater. It was only then that Sara's rage cooled down, by this time the commotion had reached all across the Central city.
Sara did not even bother to look after Orn's condition and she turned her head towards Aria.
"That bird brain is finally quiet now! How dare he try to attack someone within the Academy! Hmph! Are you alright, cadet?" She snorted in anger as she spoke.
"Thank you for your help, senior." Aria replied with utmost sincerity as he focused on Athenaeum's message.
[Host is out of danger]
[Sealing the Primal Vital Force]
[Host has consumed 1% of the Force]
'Wow, that punch was too strong.'
He thought as he gently massaged his arms, trying to check whether he had sustained any damage or not.
It must be known that despite such a huge beating, not one personnel arrived. This stunned Aria a little as he wondered what was the Academy relying on to protect themselves. But his questions were unanswered as the huge body of Orn crawled out from the crater.
Just from the bruise on Orn's face one could determine the intensity of that kick earlier. Even Aria secretly raised his thumbs up for Sara's strength and the curiosity in his mind regarding Humanity's history had deepened.
