[POV Eva]
Eva held her sword with both hands, her eyes locked on Xeria's four eyes. Alicia, Milia, Geoffrey, Ainsley, Irwin, Beatrice, Rosalind, and Patricia also started to get ready, drawing their swords. The student council members—Mirea, Nikolai, Oliver, and Claudia—did the same, drawing their respective weapons. Seeing Eva and all the students in front of her, Xeria smiled, then burst into chilling laughter.
"Is something funny, Xeria?" Eva asked calmly.
"Relax, Princess. I don't intend to fight all of you. Our plan already failed because that stupid pig prince was exposed, which made everyone wary and alerted them to our presence in this academy, so we will retreat for now," Xeria replied with a horrifying voice.
But, "Clang," before Xeria could run, Eva immediately leaped forward, attacking Xeria, who blocked Exelion with her magic web. Eva smiled and moved her face closer to Xeria's.
"You think I'll just let you walk away? Don't dream it," Eva said, calm and cold.
