As mentioned before, after defeating Herder, Adam's reputation had already spread throughout Hodge Academy.
Even outsiders who didn't know him well understood that he was the academy's top student.
Under such circumstances, how could Harrison, who wanted to deal with Adam and judge him, not have targeted countermeasures?
So, there were already special guards lurking nearby.
These were the guards exclusive to the academy, responsible for maintaining the safety of the academy.
As Hodge Academy was the top institution in the Kingdom of Hodge, its power was naturally not weak, although it was not visible to ordinary people.
Perhaps there were not many real knights of this level, but there was no shortage of knight apprentices.
The guards present were just like that.
Among the numerous guards of the academy, they were among the top-tier, on par with the most elite students.
Such people were enough to rival the likes of Herder. Even more important was their number.
