“Emergency! Move so fast that your soles are on fire!”

“Those guys who slack off will die later on! No, just die now!”

The student council and professors of the circle quickly responded to the terrorist attacks that occurred simultaneously in various places.

In the end, the situation was resolved by Ellis using large-scale magic, but even without her intervention, the Circle was able to weather this wave without much damage, so their response was excellent.

“Oh, is it over?”

“The fighting seems to have stopped for now, judging by the sound of the explosions… … ”

As the commotion died down, people gradually regained their composure and straightened up from their crouching positions.

The first thing people who came out of that confusion did was to seek out people in the circle, or more precisely, the faculty.

To show gratitude for saving them from the chaos of a villain attack?

no.

“What the hell is going on right now?”

“Please give me some information, anything!”

“Hey! Open the portal center! I have to go back right now!”

Anger, confusion, gratitude, help, venting, demands, explaining the situation, etc.

They had gathered to resolve the various emotions and goals they currently had.

“Just a minute! Calm down a bit!”

“Please keep order!”

“One by one, please!”

The professor in the circle shouted at the top of his lungs.

Unlike before, the chaos caused by non-mind people made them unable to do anything but raise their voices while sheathing their weapons.

It was annoying to have to stay like this without even a moment to catch my breath after the fight, but I couldn’t do something like just using all my strength like before.

Because each and every one of these people who are now at the forefront of voicing their complaints are high-ranking guild officials from each country.

No, if it were just them, the Circle would have chosen to use force to calm them down.

“Is that the end of the situation?”

“Help! There’s someone hurt here!”

However, the presence of ordinary tourists mixed in among them was a problem.

Unlike the guild officials who raise their voices with their own dark intentions, they came to the circle simply to enjoy the festival.

For them, this situation was no different from a bolt from the blue.

‘But since you’ve been caught up in a terrorist attack, it’s not surprising that you’re panicking.’

‘In the first place, it’s not something you can ask ordinary people to keep their mouths shut.’

‘In this day and age, if you do something like that, you know what kind of trouble you’ll get into.’

‘Honey, son, daughter, Poppy, Daddy is working so hard.’

Strictly speaking, it wasn’t a problem that they came out like that.

Because today’s incident was clearly the fault of the Circle for allowing the villain to invade.

So while they were suppressing their fatigue and calming down the overheated atmosphere.

Woohoo-

The sky of the circle once again emitted a bright light.

At that, people instinctively turned their heads toward the sky and opened their eyes wide in surprise.

“What is that?”

“Public? Public?”

“Is it a hologram?”

When people were chatting while looking at a giant sphere floating in the sky.

-Ah, can you hear me? It’s been a while since I’ve used this feature, so I’m a little confused.

A calm yet intellectual woman’s voice slowly spread from the sphere floating in the sky.

“Huh? What is it?”

“Good voice… … ”

Ordinary people simply listened to the beautiful voice and were amazed.

“What… … !”

“Could this voice be… … !”

Some high-ranking guild officials noticed the owner of the spreading voice and were shocked.

And what he said next only confirmed their guess.

-Yes, some of you may know me and some may not, so let me introduce myself briefly. My name is Ellis Hina Ileina, the headmaster of the circle.

Groan groan-

“The principal of the circle? Then that guy who was said to be an S-class superhuman?”

“But you said there were no people in the circle?”

“Didn’t you just get back?”

“Then was that person the one who did that a little while ago?”

Ellis’ self-introduction caused people to chatter again.

But unlike a moment ago, there was a hint of relief mixed in their muttering.

Because the term S-class superhuman was a kind of guarantee check for everyone living in this era.

-First of all, I would like to apologize for the commotion.

While watching those people’s reactions, Ellis calmly explained the current situation.

-First of all, all the Mines who are causing a ruckus throughout the circle have been arrested. And the ringleader, villain Monica Airion, has been killed.

Was it because the situation was declared over by capturing Mine and catching the villain, or was it because Ellis, one of the S-class superhumans, revealed her presence, even if only vocally, on the official ship?

The flames of confusion that had bloomed among the people slowly died down.

“What, can I trust you?”

“Hey! Okay, help me!”

“Didn’t you hear me telling you to hurry up and get out?!”

Of course, there were still those who could not grasp the situation or those who raised their voices in an attempt to gain some advantage in later negotiations.

Doo-wooong-!

-We’ve dealt with all the masterminds, but this is clearly an actual combat situation.

And without exception, all of them were isolated and trapped in a pillar of light created by Ellis’ magic.

-Therefore, we will immediately sanction anyone who causes a commotion that could increase unnecessary anxiety. We will also sanction anyone who uses abusive language or violence against the circle’s faculty and staff for the same reason.

‘Wow, that’s refreshing.’

‘This is so cool, you guys!’

At Ellis’ declaration, the professors in the circle secretly clenched their fists and laughed.

-If you understand, I would like you to focus on what I am saying now.

The implications of Ellis’ declaration were obvious to everyone present.

I’m sorry that the incident happened, but I won’t forgive you for causing a fuss.

This was a drastic measure that ignored the numerous guild officials present, and Ellis knew it.

But I didn’t care.

The position of the Circle’s principal and S-class superhuman were not so weak that they could be shaken by their protests.

– Then I will explain the situation in a little more detail. After that, I will tell you about the compensation for today’s incident and guide you to the portal center.

In the quiet air, only Ellis’ voice spread calmly.

The sight of him quelling the commotion caused by the people just by his presence made him look like a tyrant who controls the kingdom with one finger.

And actually, that was the right answer.

Ellis, she was a self-centered tyrannical queen.

◎ ◎ ◎

“Whew, is it because it’s been so long? I feel awkward for no reason.”

After Ellis finished sorting out the situation, she grumbled and looked out the window.

Through the transparent glass, I could see a large number of people moving in an orderly manner.

‘I told you to process it as quickly as possible, so I should be able to send it all back before morning at the latest.’

Ellis clenched his jaw as he pondered the compensation he would give to the victims.

There was a lot more work to be done.

Not only did I have to clean up the broken circle, I also had to get rid of the traitorous weeds that had let Monica in, and I had to start investigating the strange minds that I had captured.

But the first thing that came to Ellis’ mind, crushing all of that, was none other than the conversation with Han Si-yeon.

“If there’s anything I can say, I’ll say it as best as I can.”

Han Si-yeon was very cooperative in her conversation with Ellis, as if she didn’t know anything other than the part about her identity that she had promised.

Whether it was because of his position as principal, or because he helped Ellis erase the graffiti all over his face, or because his lower abdomen still felt cold, that’s beside the point.

‘The problem is that rather than being resolved, the questions only deepen.’

Swish-

“What on earth does that ghost guy do? Judging from the fact that he knows about the location of the lab and the strange mine, he seems to be deeply connected to this incident in some way.”

The problem was that there was nothing else to know.

Knock knock-

Actually, when I thought about it calmly, it was right to postpone worrying about the ghost’s identity until later.

Although the circumstances were suspicious, it seemed certain that he was not the enemy, so it was constructive to worry about other pressing matters.

“But it’s annoying.”

It’s true that we benefited from the information given by the ghost, but is it because we don’t know who found out that information and how?

Ellis felt like a piece on a game board right now.

“Who on earth would do such an impudent thing… … ”
