Levi's head was unable to form a single coherent thought. Her words stabbed deep into his mind like a knife ripping a hole that took him back to the island. 'Second target.' The words he heard Kai whisper when he ran past him echoed in his head. But back then, he hadn’t understood. And now, with Emilia’s words hammering into his skull, it all began to make sense.Was he the real target all along?Did Kai call him the second just because Reinhart happened to stand in the way, because revenge came first?His hands trembled slightly. The puzzle pieces were falling into place, and the weight of what it meant pressed down on him like a skyscraper on the earth.Levi’s eyes widened slightly. His lips parted letting out words that came in mutteers, “So… those—those people…” “Yes,” Emilia snapped with a low firm tone...“Those people!” She stepped forward, eyes blazing with fury. “They all lost their lives because of you!”“Reinhart is currently in the situation he is because of you!” she sho

Outside, the school's security team stood at the gate trying their best to block the influx of journalists trying to force their way in, without harming them. Suddenly, as if materializing from thin air, Professor Valtorix emerged, accompanied by Emilia. "Take care of this, fast..." Emilia muttered as they both stared at the crowd of reporters."It's the school's owner!" One of the reporters shouted as he saw Valotrix.This triggered a frenzy among the rest of the reporters.As Professor Valtorix approached the gates, a barrage of questions were thrust at him, with many microphones pointing at him like they were animals thirsting for his reaponse. "Professor, how do you plan to address the current crisis?" one reporter demanded."Rakuzan's negligent security measures endangered the students. How do you intend to rectify this?" another pressed.The interrogations were relentless and came in all at once, drowning Valtorix in a sea of words. Each question was more deeper than the las

Emilia approached Layla, her demeanor less violent than it was, before seeing Levi. Upon setting her eyes on Emilia, Layla got down on one knee, "Captain Emilia. Please accept my apology for the current situation. This is a result of—""What's the situation?" Emilia asked, interrupting Layla, and ignoring everything she had been saying."Four sentinels, including myself, went into battle," Layla began to report. "Two are confirmed dead, and one, in a life threatening situation," she explained further.As Layla gave her report, Emilia scouted the area with her eyes, watching students as some of them were being carried into ambulances, and some were still trying to gather their minds and recover from the trauma of what they just experienced. "Some students sustained injuries in the course of this battle, but none of them are life threatening," Layla added."As for the enemies, their leader was killed in battle, but we've currently subdued the other five who played a major role in the

The sounds of sirens blaring filled the streets of Metreona. Ambulances rushed towards Rakuzan. Parents who received news of the incident, swarmed the gate of the school."Where's my child?" a mother screamed"How could you let this happen?" a father queried.Some parents burst into tears upon seeing their children in injured states. As the commotion unfolded, Levi and his friends stood by watching. They all felt a familiar chilling presence coming from the gate. It was the first time he had ever seen an expression on her face, and it wasn't a positive one.Emilia walked through the gates followed by a young man with long yellow hair. The lieutenant of squad two, Lance Ravenscar."Please calm down Captain," Lance said while breathing heavily."I never pictured Her actually being worried about someone," Lance thought as he watched Emilia continue to walk while ignoring his presence."I already had enough problems on my hands, now this..." Emilia muttered. "Tch..."As she approached th

Reinhart watched, his eyes wide open."So now I'm getting schooled by you..." He laughed softly, as he shifted his gaze back to the sky."Levi Starfall... I wonder what could have caused such pain hiding behind the eyes of a child...""I wonder too," a gentle voice came from behind Reinhart.He turned his head slowly to see Lian standing behind him with a smile that brightly contrasted the chaos happening around them."So that's the kid Zenon brought in..." She muttered, gesturing towards Levi with her palm wide open.She raised her other hand towards the direction of Layla and the rest who were kneeling in agony. "Sorry, but I can't be gentle right now," she said in an exhausted tone. She waved her hands to the direction of the other students, flinging Layla and Riley into the barrier the students were enclosed in, and Levi back into the purple barrier where his friends were.Seeing Levi crashing down, Kyle placed his hands out, catching him and setting him down."Okay please, that

Reinhart's eyes widened with shock as Lian's words reached his ears. He felt a cold shiver run down his spine. Layla and Riley who were close by fought their hardest to resist Kai's mind control, refusing to budge from their spots. Lian also managed to suppress her body's urge to obey Kai's command.But it was all in vain. Reinhart felt his legs give way and he collapsed to his knees. The strength and resolve that had fueled him until now instantly drained from his eyes. He looked up at the dark sky, where thick smoke obscured the stars."I see..." he muttered softly, his voice barely a whisper. "So this is my judgement." He said, as if talking to himself."Once again mum... I've failed." He sighed, his shoulders sagging with defeat.He had completely lost the will to fight. And this was Kai's plan, to crush Reinhart's heart completely.Levi and his friends, although a bit far but not as far as the other students behind them, were able to make out some of the words they uttered.
