Chapter 272: Chapter 272:Underwater [2]
The broken stick, glowing a dark purple, seemed to ignite as it flew towards Principal Seraphina.
Distracted by the crowd of djinns in front of her, Seraphina didn't pay any heed to the quickly approaching stick.
Then, just as the stick got close enough, it seemed to grow class.
A dark purple substance sprouted out of the wood before grabbing onto Principal Seraphina.
Then Principal Serphina disappeared, disintegrating into countless purple particles.
Seraphina noticed something was off as her surroundings were blurry, and she immediately went down.
A second later, Seraphina's surroundings suddenly stabilized, revealing the beautiful scenery of the capital city.
And right in front of her was a luxurious hotel, even better than the costly and amazing royal dormitories.
Regaining her composure, Seraphina stared at the hotel before confusedly muttering.
"This was supposed to be my reward for those students..."
Then, it clicked.
"If I'm here... then they're back down in the cave..."
Realizing that she had been transported by the teleportation stick instead of the student, Seraphina immediately broke into a sprint.
Pure-white wings sprouted from her right and left shoulders, making her seem like some sort of angel.
Flying over the countless skyscrapers and buildings in the capital, Seraphina let out a sigh as she approached the bridge and the body of water below.
Dismissing her wings, Seraphina descended onto the bridge before running as fast as she could.
However, as she got nearer to the Academy, it quickly became apparent that something was wrong.
"t-that's too much mana."
There was far too much mana gathered around the academy...enough to form a magic boundary.
Stopping in her tracks, Seraphina quickly cast a fireball spell and sent it flying towards the academy.
And just as she expected, the fireball suddenly disappeared right as he approached the academy's gates.
"They set up a magical wall to stop me from getting back in..."
They had been prepared... much more prepared and organized than the students had informed her.
No...it was her fault.
The students had given her a warning, and despite that, she had somehow failed.
Why had she expected everything to go just as the student had told her?
She hadn't even considered the fact that the djinns could use another strategy to directly counter her.
Shaking her head, Seraphina immediately grabbed her smartwatch and opened the messages application.
Finding a group chat with the users [TokyoGhoul] and [ShadowKazuki], Seraphina began rapidly typing.
If this barrier had been made to prevent her from entering, then she doubted that Kazuki and Kaneki could destroy it.
And even if they could, the boundary would likely be under close surveillance by the group of djinns.
By the time Kaneki and Kazuki had finished off the guarding djinns and disabled the magic boundary, the students down below would already be dead.
Not using any sarcasm, Principal Seraphina rapidly began typing.
[Need help asap. I'm trapped outside; I need you two.]
[Go to the school administrative building and enter my office. You can enter my office by pressing a secret level approximately two meters away from the doorknob.]
[From there, head to my desk, and the pathway down should already be opened.]
[Students are currently trapped down there, and I am unable to help due to a magic barrier that is preventing me from entering.]
[Please let me know when you see this message.]
With her hands trembling, Seraphina anxiously awaited a message back before continuing her run toward the magic boundary.
Feeling an invisible force preventing her from moving any farther forward, Seraphina took out her want before casting a barrage of spells.
A tsunami, capable of devouring half of the island, emerged alongside countless pure-white swords manifested above Seraphina's head
Pointing her wand at the magic barrier, Seraphina sent the tsunami forward, also causing the pure-white swords to fly toward the barrier.
As expected, the tsunami was stopped by the magical barrier, and instead of devouring the island, it consumed the magical boundary.
The tsunami flowed over the barrier, blocking the sun from reaching the academy and turning it dark for a moment.
On the other hand, the pure-white swords faired a bit better as they didn't immediately break upon impact with the magical boundary.
However, they simply banged into the barrier before turning lifeless and dropping to the floor of the bridge.
Rubbing her hands together, Seraphina pulled a familiar book out of her pocket before opening it.
Scrolling through the various pages, Seraphina finally stopped on one, which displayed the image of a sea serpent.
Below the picture of a serpent slithering in the depths of the ocean, a small caption was written. Continue your adventure at m|v-l'e m,p| y- r
[Leviathan: The God of the Sea / Last seen: Never / Believers: Church of the Sea / Rank: ???]
Knowing that she couldn't maintain the illustration for long, Seraphina pulled out her emergency reserves.
In her hands, a couple of mana potions appeared, each filled with a dark purple substance.
"It's a been a while since I've run out of mana..."
Placing the open book on the floor, displaying the image of Leviathan in the sea, Seraphina took out her wand before pointing it downward at the book.
Opening her mouth, Seraphina's wand began to shine a bright blue as she began to chant.
"I summon thee, Leviation. Conqueror of the Seas, I request thy help. I hope thy accept my request to save."

At the same time, below the main cast and the principal's vault, where a battle was taking place, Ren suddenly ceased his diggings.
Feeling a shaking sensation in his hoodie, Ren sighed before slowly removing his cat.
"Oh god, what is it now!?"
First, this bratty cat forced Ren to take it with him, complicating his robbery of the vault further, and now it was interrupting his digging!
Had it forgotten who the master was and who the pet was!?
At this point, the tunnel upward had become big enough, so Ren placed the cat on the ground, hoping to allow it to roam around would calm it down.
However, the cat, oddly, instead of running around and enjoying its freedom simply walked to the wall of the cave.
