Viswa's words shook the whole academy.
Everyone including Sir Warden was stunned. They never expected this kind of announcement from him. It is a declaration of war.
Viswa locked his eyes on Kai who is already gulping and sweating.
At this moment, a doctor is checking up on Pat who is laying on the floor. There is not much blood out even though there are many spikes impaled into his body.
The Doctor examined him and went to the Headmaster.
"The situation is very dire for that young man. Those stone spikes are the only things keeping him alive. If we take them out, he will bleed to death. But if we don't take them out, he might go into a comatose state for a while before slowly dying.
Even if we just use extremely high-level medicine, we wouldn't be able to heal him directly. We should prepare for his death."
The Headmaster narrowed his eyes as he looked at Viswa.
He clenched his fists as he didn't know what to do in the situation. Sir Warden is not someone he can handle. He doesn't even know how strong Sir Warden is, but he knew that he doesn't have any authority over him.
He also had a bad feeling about Suman's next course of action, because that kid is extremely influential.
He could only boil in his own frustration.
Viswa left the arena along with the kids.
"Is it necessary?"
Sir Warden asked as he walked along with them.
Viswa contemplated for a moment and said.
"I feel like it is."
"It is indeed necessary for you to defend your home, defend your people, but a man should never be ruled by his own emotions even when he was defending something emotionally important. You are in a weaker position compared to them, you cannot just declare war openly."
Viswa nodded and said.
"Indeed, I might have been impulsive. I will keep that in mind."
"You can have all the anger in this world, but don't let that consume you. Channel it properly. And I already heard that you are good at playing with the rules. So, play by your strengths like that."
"I understand."
Sir Warden didn't say what Viswa did was wrong, in fact, he was unbelievably supportive.
After reaching the inn, he took Viswa took the top floor where the Egg pod was stored.
He opened the wooden box and showed him.
"This is the thing that is the cause of this demonic phenomenon. I told Suman to keep tabs on those four kids. Are you sure that Makar is not part of them?"
"I don't exactly know, but my Slave brand showed no reaction when I was near his presence, so I thought what Mathur said was true."
"That might be the case, but I will keep an eye on him anyway.
The headmaster is reluctant to any progress, but Suman already took some measures and sent the letter to the Regional office, so things would progress smoothly if a right person was assigned to the job. Nd with Suman's connections there is no way a wrong person would get in that position.
But the progress would be slow. It would take at least three days for someone from that place to come here.
In these three days, you should be very careful.
By now the news about the regional office might have reached the Headmaster already and in turn it would reach the teachers as well.
With Headmaster's mindset if things really went sideways, he would just cut the connections with the teachers and minimize the damage. So, the teachers are in a very desperate situation now.
If they make a direct move, I can handle it, but if they make an indirect move, through their students it would be hard for me to intervene. Just like you, I am also a man who plays by the rules, so we should comply with the rules and take necessary measures."
"What do you advice me to do?"
"Stay within the academy in the next three days. The students who are of lower status but still got involved out of desperation might try to leave the academy. Don't do what you did with Mathur and his group."
"I highly doubt there are any left. As far as I know among the Circle 2 students only Pat acts as a direct lackey to Kai. He does all the dirty work. Except for the instructors, I think he dealt with pretty much everyone.
So, Kai is done. Then among the Circle 1 students the repeaters were dealt with and the new batch of enemies are Mathur and his gang.
I think only Kai and the instructors are left in this whole fiasco."
"That is a very sound speculation. But still be careful."
"Sir Warden, May I ask, what would be the best revenge against the instructors according to you?"
"Why are you asking me?"
"If I am strong enough, I would have just killed them. But I am not. What do you think I should do to get back at them? I don't want to wait until I am strong enough to fight them myself."
Sir Warden smiled slightly. He shook his head and said.
"The major problem stemmed from the fact that they are instructors. They might be greedy pigs, but they wouldn't have been able to do what they did if they are not instructors.
Their potential is limited and that limited potential, only managed to bring them here. This is the peak of their lives. Apart from death, the absolute punishment they could have is their lives falling to the bottom of the pyramid.
As instructors they are also guardians of various areas, they clearly caught a bunch of criminals and threw them in jail. So, if they are proven to be guilty and lose their job, they will land in those prisons and trust me, those prisons are not good places to be in for them.
They would not die, but they would wish they are dead."
"That is good to know."
"Whatever you do, be careful and keep in the loop."
"I will. But I think I don't have to do anything. A greedy and desperate man is bound to make a mistake. They are going to make the next move and I plan on capitalizing on it."
"All the best."
Viswa left that night.
He went back to the academy and slept in his bed.
But right before he went to sleep, he looked at the Mission status and he didn't feel good about it.

GOOD LUCK ]
COMPLETION STATUS: 35%]
The mission is completed by 25%. Even though he killed Pat who is one of the key person in the whole fiasco. Still it is understandable since Kai is the true mastermind.
The only problem is that Sam is a bit worried about what is going to come.
He didn't manage to finish the mission, so his Karma points are going to go inverted. He doesn't know what is going to happen, but he knew that whatever it is, it is not going to be a good thing. He felt a bit anxious and couldn't even sleep well.
He only managed to fall asleep when it was almost Dawn.
*KNOCK* *KNOCK*
He didn't even get to sleep for an hour before someone knocked on the door and disturbed him.
He wanted to beat the crap out of someone. But he controlled his urge and opened the door.
Teja is standing outside with a faint smile on his face.
"What is it?"
"You are a Circle 2 Student now. You are not eligible to stay in the Circle 1 dormitories, you have to shift to the Circle 2 immediately.
I am here to help you relocate."
"Alright, let's leave."
Viswa went on and packed up his things before leaving the room. He went to the dormitory. Unlike before, he doesn't have to share room with anyone. He has the whole room for his own. He settled down and opened the closet that was placed in the room.
Three pairs of uniform are hanging there. The same uniform he saw on Pat during their first encounter."
