"I don't understand."

Zekken was confused by the current situation.

"It should have been easy to get in since everyone would be sleeping at this hour, but... what does this mean!"

The reason he was confused was because of what his eyes were seeing.

"Get the hell out of here!"

"We won't let you through!"

"We'll protect the academy."

The students were throwing rocks like fireballs at Norden's soldiers and the Codes.

The academy wall was fortified with a defensive spell. They couldn't break through it even with the conjurers they had.

"Reporting!"

A messenger approached.

"We can't breach any side of the academy, there are no openings and even the ground was fortified to prevent us from digging... there's no way in."

"..."

Zekken thought upon hearing that.

(How would they have found out? And, who must have been the mastermind behind such prevention?)
