One of them couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Ellis, what did you just say?"
Without wasting a second, Ellis gestured to someone, who quickly stepped onto the stage, picked up a remote, and turned on the large screen behind them.
Ellis connected his phone to the screen, projecting the breaking news he had just come across.
A live broadcast appeared, showing a reporter on the scene. The reporter's voice was charged with emotion as they exclaimed, "Professor Barry Brandt has returned to Crera! He once publicly declared he would never return and insisted that his students must never return either. But now, not only has Professor Brandt come back, he's brought with him his ten most talented students... I'm going to try to get a word with him!"
