[123] "Illuminati arrives"
[A few hours later]
Garrith, sitting in a relaxed attitude, looked at Andrea and the other teacher before speaking with determination. "Tomorrow we leave this place and..."
His eyes bore intently into the two professors as he continued his comment. "It's possible for Duke to lose to Kayden Break's disciple, but for Arthur to draw and the others to lose to young strangers... that shouldn't have happened. You guys have caused the world academy to lose its prestige."
"You two will have to take responsibility for what happened," Garrith added in a cold, cutting tone, causing a cold sweat to slide down the teachers' foreheads.
....
[The next day]
[Jiyoung's place]
Jurion knocked softly on the door and entered, finding Jiyoung sitting there.
"Miss Jiyoung," Jurion greeted respectfully.
Jiyoung nodded her head in response.
"My grandfather and I are leaving," Jurion announced, then added, "I hope you will consider my grandfather's offer."
Jurion's words surprised Jiyoung.
"I know you're both engaged, but... I'll wait," Jurion commented, without allowing Jiyoung to interject, and left the room.
....
[Veramonte's place]
Calmly, Veramonte boarded the luxurious yacht, followed by Jurion.
Once on board, Veramonte took a seat and crossed one leg over the other, observing Jurion sitting across from him.
"I guess you could see how vast the world is and what may be hidden in it," Veramonte said seriously.
Jurion nodded, showing a serious expression on his face.
Veramonte sighed and continued, "Jurion.... you surprised me; I never thought you will be so strong." Then, in a warm voice, he added, "Now I realize that you will go further than me in the future. Keep it up."
Confidence filled Jurion's eyes as he was surprised at his grandfather's words. He clenched his fist and replied, looking at Veramonte, "Don't worry, grandfather, I will meet your expectations."
....
[Elsewhere in the academy]
Garrith, hands behind his back, watches the six students and the two WAA teachers.
"We will be leaving today. I will say goodbye, and you will wait on the ship. I won't be long," Garrith commented before walking away.
Andrea watches Garrith leave and then says. "You heard the dean."
The others move forward and leave the academy in the direction of the ship.
Cain gestures, calling for Lancelot and Phoenix to follow him.
....
[Han Seongik's office]
Han Seongik looks at Garrith as he listens intently to her words.
"We are leaving, I hope you can visit our academy along with your students. I will have a formal invitation arrive," Garrith comments.
Han Seongik, with a serious expression on his face, replies. "Sure..."
Garrith nods and leaves the office.
Han Seongik frowns and follows him, showing his displeasure with the situation.
....
Samantha walks quietly with her hands in the pockets of her black jacket. In the distance, she spots a boat in the sea and six people standing near it. Meanwhile, another group of eight people approaches her from a distance.
She decides to approach the group near the boat, noticing that they look at her hesitantly as she approaches.
Confidently, she places her arms behind her back as she speaks. "Nice to meet you, I'm looking for Jiwoo Seo, is this the right place?"
Inhyuk, with some hesitation, asks. "Who are you?"
The others, including Seongha, Giwook, Suhan and the teachers, also look at Samantha with uncertainty.
Samantha sighs and calmly answers. "My name is Samantha Snyder, and I'm here to see Jiwoo Seo."
The teachers stare in thought, not recognizing the name.
Meanwhile, the other group consisting of Arthur, Cain, Duke, Andrea and the others arrive and watch Samantha.
Inhyuk looks at Andrea and asks. "Did she come with you?"
Andrea is puzzled by the question and replies. "No."
Cain, Arthur and Duke look at Samantha, dressed completely in black, curiously.
Samantha, feeling a bit irritated, raises her tone of voice and says firmly. "Could you answer the question for me, please?"
Those present are surprised by Samantha's arrogant tone.
Andrea, annoyed, asks irritably. "Who the hell are you?"
Samantha pays no attention to Andrea and instead fixes her gaze on Inhyuk.
Andrea's anger increases.
"Do you know who you're talking to like that?" comments Cain, stepping forward, voicing his disapproval at Samantha's attitude.
Samantha maintained her indifference to Cain and Andrea as she again asked firmly. "This is the last time I will ask, is Jiwoo Seo here?"
Those present thought Samantha was quite an arrogant young woman because of her defiant attitude.
Cain, annoyed by Samantha's defiant attitude, responded angrily. "Look at you..."
Samantha didn't turn around as Cain released his aura, and in response, Lancelot emanated his as well. The air became charged with intense energy.
Samantha fixed her gaze on Cain with obvious displeasure and blurted out, "Put your kitty away."
Cain frowned at Samantha's dismissive tone, but kept his cool and replied in a calm voice, "It's not a kitten, I'll make you test its strength."
Everyone watches in amazement at Lancelot's speed and skill as he launches his strike towards Samantha, but they are even more amazed when she remains unperturbed.
An intense green and yellow aura glows around her as she unleashes her power.
In one swift movement, Lancelot finds himself in front of Samantha, his claws ready to strike.
However, before he can even graze her, she responds with a demonstration of her own power. With a wave of her hand, she connects her fist directly into Lancelot's jaw, who is thrown backwards and falls to the ground, motionless.
Silence reigns as everyone processes what they have just witnessed.
Samantha, now surrounded by his glowing aura, stands her ground and slowly the aura disappears, and she places her hands behind her back.
Samantha, after the impressive display of power, gestures to wipe her clothes, looking at Inhyuk.
Inhyuk, amazed by the young woman's strength, raises an eyebrow and thinks to himself, 'Who the hell is this young woman?'
Cain, still amazed by the combat scene, turns his attention to Lancelot, who remains embedded in the ground.
At that moment, footsteps are heard approaching, and two figures emerge from the distance. Han Seongik and Garrith Luterain walk calmly toward the group, their presence imposing.
Garrith looks at the young woman, Samantha, with scrutinizing eyes and asks firmly, "Who are you?"
Samantha sighs, assuming a more relaxed posture, and answers truthfully, "I am Samantha Snyder."
Then, she turns her gaze to Han Seongik and adds, "I'm in the right place, since you're here."
Hearing those words, Han Seongik frowns, as do the others present, feeling intrigued and wary of Samantha's confident attitude.
At that moment, more footsteps are heard approaching, and a young woman with blonde hair and blue eyes approaches them, looking well-dressed. Behind her are two young women and a young man.
"Samantha!" the woman named Lisa exclaims, then adds with a reproachful tone, "Don't make trouble..."
Samantha pouts and replies, "I didn't do anything, I just asked some questions and didn't get an answer, and then they attacked me."
Garrith watches her closely, analyzing every gesture and detail calmly.
Han Seongik also looks at the woman, and carefully asks, "Who are you?"
The woman answers without hesitation, "Lisa Snyder," and points towards the three young men accompanying her, "This is James, Emily and Teresa."
Lisa lets out a smile as she comments, "I didn't think there would be this much movement here. We'll go inside and look for Jiwoo."
Without waiting for a response, the young men advance towards the desired location. However, just as Lisa is about to follow them, she feels a hand on her arm stopping her.
She turns and sees that it is Han Seongik, who looks at her with a serious expression and warns her, "You are not going anywhere. I don't know who you are or what your intentions are here."
Lisa angrily looked at the hand on her shoulder, and her respectful attitude changed drastically. A shocking aura enveloped everyone present, and the air seemed to vanish, leaving them surprised and shocked.
"Get your filthy hands off my shoulder, or I'll rip that arm off," Lisa threatened in a voice full of authority and power. The WAA students were stunned, unable to breathe properly due to the intense pressure in the atmosphere, and sweat was pouring down their foreheads.
The teachers, who were also affected by Lisa's powerful aura, felt as if an immovable mountain had fallen on their backs. Not daring to speak or make any movement, they were in a state of fear and awe.
Garrith, frowning, experienced a terrifying pressure that left him shocked. This feeling was familiar to him.
Han Seongik, who was closest to Lisa and felt how his soul seemed to tear under the power of her aura, quickly withdrew his hand and at that moment, Lisa's intense aura disappeared.
"We came because we are acquaintances of Jiwoo, and he told us interesting things about here, but..." started to explain Lisa, but then she looked at Garrith with a clear warning in her words, "I hope you don't leave, and those three young men will face three of my four young men."
She then turned her gaze to Han Seongik and added, "And then your quartet takes on my four young men."
Without waiting for answers, Lisa quickly walked away from the scene.
Garrith watched her calmly as he muttered to himself, "Her power is comparable to those in the top 10 of the world rankings.... I didn't know someone like her existed in the world.... Could that woman be her?".
Garrith's words caused alarm in everyone present.
Cain, intrigued and concerned, asked, "Grandfather, are you convinced?"
Garrith nodded and replied serenely, "Yes, I am sure. Her presence is striking and her aura is truly formidable. We must not underestimate her."
With a decision, Garrith headed back the way they had come, making it clear that they had no intention of fleeing in the face of the situation. "We'll stay here, it's an interesting situation," he announced, "And bring Lancelot here."
