Amidst the fading echoes of the Skybreak Dark Forest turmoil, Arthur, Anastasia, and the rescued academy students made their way back to the academy grounds.
The air, once tense with the anticipation of battle, now carried a certain calmness, an aftermath of the storm.
As they approached the academy, Anastasia broke the silence. "Arthur, my father needs to know about this. I can't ignore the actions of a noble ploting against academy students. It goes against the academy's principles."
Arthur waved a dismissive hand. "No need to trouble father with this. I'll deal with it myself."
Anastasia looked at him with a mix of concern and skepticism. "You can't handle a noble's family on your own, Arthur. This is a matter for the Emperor."
Arthur chuckled, his eyes glinting with confidence. "Trust me, I can handle it. Just leave it to me."
Anastasia hesitated but nodded. "Alright, but if it gets out of hand, promise me you'll let father know."
