Juliana stood completely frozen, her dark eyes wide with an intense mix of panic, confusion, and disbelief. She stared at Baron as if seeing him for the very first time. The quiet cafeteria felt stifling, the distant hum of the kitchen completely vanishing behind the roaring in her ears."Why are you just telling me all of this?!" Juliana panicked, her voice cracking as she leaned across the small wooden table. "Do you mean... Do you mean we dated in your past life? So Matt Windgate was your enemy, and he actually killed you? Baron, that is some crazy shit!"Baron held her shaking hands tighter, keeping his posture firm and grounded. "Jules, listen to me—""How could all this even be possible?!" Juliana interrupted frantically, her breath coming in fast, ragged gasps. "How are you standing here right now? Did you resurrect from the dead? Is that why you have these insane cosmic powers now? Tell me something! What is actually happening to us?!""Hold on, baby. Please, hold on," Baron w

The moment Baron’s red cosmic Qi slammed into Felicia’s mystical pendant, a violent sensation of spiritual teleportation tore through her consciousness! Felicia’s physical vision went pitch black, but her soul was launched out of her body like a speeding bullet! Through Baron’s link to the spirit realm, Felicia’s glowing blue soul rocketed across the grounds of Tuntadel University. She flew above the stone pathways, past the grand library, and directly toward the desolate North End of the campus. There! her spirit cried out as she sighted the ancient, shadowed final-year hostels standing near the northern forest line. The Seer is in the North End hostel! Guided by the fiery red spirit of Lord Red, Felicia’s soul sprinted through the closed wooden doors of the northern building. She shot down the dark, narrow hallway, stopping directly in front of the heavy iron frame of Room 104. This is it! Felicia thought, surging forward to force her soul through the keyhole. BZZZZZT!

A dark, suffocating despair descended over the Traditional students. Fred dropped to his knees, sobbing quietly in the damp grass."Then he won't be leaving with us."Baron’s firm, cold voice cut through the cries and panicked murmurs like a steel blade.Everyone turned to stare at Baron. He stepped forward, his eyes burning with a calm, dangerous authority as Lord Red’s posture took full command."Baron?" John asked, stunned."Fred stays behind," Baron declared plainly, looking down at the terrified boy. "If the prophecy says Fred dies on the battlefield tomorrow, then Fred does not step one foot outside the gates of Tuntadel. We cut the thread of fate right here, he gets a shield at the Protector division."Lashley looked at Baron, then nodded slowly in agreement. "He's right. Fred will remain under heavy wards inside the Protectors Dungeon tomorrow all day."Baron turned to face the rest of the unit—John, Ayomide, Knox, Felicia, and Mike."We all need to prepare for the war tomorro

The Traditional unit sprinted through the shattered outer gates, bursting into the inner courtyard just as the Scorpion Gang was preparing to blow open the secondary reinforced security doors of the main house."Hold it right there!" Mike’s voice echoed like a thunderclap across the concrete courtyard.The Traditional members fan out instantly behind him, dropping into a flawless, superhero-like combat formation. Baron stood in the center, his posture commanding, flanked by John’s swirling blue energy, Ayomide’s burning green hands, Knox’s looming presence, Felicia’s glowing pendant, and Mike drawing his massive rune-etched broadsword.Every single member of the Scorpion Gang froze. Slowly, all thirty heavily armed mercenaries turned around, staring at the group of young students standing in their path.The gang leader looked them up and down, bursting into a loud, mocking laugh."Are you serious right now?!" the leader howled, wiping a tear from his eye. "Is this the joke of a rescue

Eventually, the convoy pulled back through the gates of Tuntadel University.Waiting near the administrative courtyard were Juliana Smith and Samuel. The moment the SUV doors slid open, Juliana didn't hesitate—she ran straight across the gravel and threw her arms tightly around Baron’s neck!"You're back, baby!" Juliana cried, pulling back to frantically check his arms, chest, and face for injuries. "Are you okay?! Hope you're good?! Did you get hurt?!"She looked all over his body, but to her complete surprise, there wasn't a single scratch, bruise, or speck of dirt on him.Baron let out a soft chuckle, looking down at her with a gentle, loving smile as he leaned in to whisper in her ear. "Lord Red is a god, baby. No injuries or scars can touch this body."Juliana let out a tearful laugh, her tension melting away as they held hands and began walking together down the stone path toward the Healer hall.Meanwhile, Samuel walked up behind Mike, wrapping a heavy, friendly arm around his
