One night, as Dabi was heading back to his dormitory, he caught a glimpse of Elysian speaking with a group of students in hushed tones.
Their faces were obscured by hoods, but Dabi could sense their malevolence.
They exuded an aura of danger, and he felt his instincts scream at him to stay hidden.
Dabi leaned against the wall, listening intently to their conversation.
"We've weakened the academy's defenses," one of the hooded figures said.
"Tonight's attack will leave them vulnerable."
"Good," Elysian replied, his voice dripping with satisfaction.
"This academy has been too arrogant for too long. By the time they realize what's happening, it will be too late."
Dabi's heart raced.
He knew he had to warn the headmaster and his friends before it was too late.
Moving stealthily, he retraced his steps, hoping he hadn't been noticed.
