The city was a complete mess, the academy had walls around but most of them were broken so the students could see the situation of the city.
Half of the buildings were scattered by Draco and Vaan, Draco attacked the knights while Vaan ruined their planning and formation from above.
The students who were planning to run to the knights for help were stuck there, their bodies shaking from fear as they saw the state the city was in.
*Boom*
Draco crashed into the ground in front of the students making screams and cries for help louder.
Draco quickly stood up and Vaan quickly rushed to his side, immediately Kaan landed in front of them and some of the students began running back inside the basement to avoid getting caught up in their battle.
"Lily let's go, I don't think that's Ray" Arya shouted as he dragged her back into the basement.
"So you are the demon" Draco spoke.
"I'm sure you know a lot about me, what did he tell you?" Kaan asked.
"He told me to end you," Draco said with a smile, two golden swords were already in his hands and he held them tightly.
"I'll like to see you try," Kaan said as he walked toward Draco slowly.

"After I retrieve it what do I do?" Vaan asked immediately.
"Go back home, reinforcements for the knights have already arrived, I'll meet you back at home" Draco mumbled.
Kaan charged towards both of them, Draco took a fighting stance and Vaan jumped back a little and stretched his hands forward.
*Swoosh*
Kaan threw one of his spears towards Vaan while he attacked Draco head-on, the spear flew past Draco and Vaan reacted immediately.
[Whirlwind]
Immediately a vortex of wind formed in front of Vaan but before it could form completely Kaan's blood spear passed right through the Whirlwind and pierced Vaan pushing him backward at the same time.
"Arghhh..." Vaan screamed as the tip of the spear passed right through his shoulder.
Kaan was aiming for Vaan's stomach but the whirlwind changed the direction of the spear and it ended up hitting Vaan's shoulders.
*Clang!! Clang!!*
Loud sounds and sparks echoed as Kaan and Draco engaged in fierce combat, Draco had two swords and Kaan was with one of his spears but still, Kaan was overpowering Draco and forcing him backward.
Both of them clashed weapons and Kaan's wings flapped forcefully pushing him forward while Draco struggled to push back.
"Aa...Aarrh... Arrrghhhh" Vaan screamed as he removed the spear from his shoulder.
With blood spilling from his shoulder, Vaan flew upward avoiding being seen by Kaan as he flew back into the basement using the hole created by them in the ceiling.
*Thud*
Vaan landed in the basement and lose control of his body, he stumbled forward and fell to the ground, his shoulder was still in immense pain as he struggled to stand upright.
Vaan was in the center and all the students stood close to the walls surrounding him, most of them were still shaking from fear and some of them were staring at his injured and bloodied arm.
Vaan looked around searching for the scroll but it was nowhere to be found then he stared at the students.
"I told you they'll come looking for the scroll, we shouldn't have picked it up" Ivan whispered in fear.
"Don't worry, he's injured, we can take him" Gabriel whispered.
"He's a mage and he can fly, how do you expect us to defeat him," Martha said.
"Who has the scroll?" Vaan shouted but none of the students answered, apart from Ray's friends that took the scroll none of the students saw the scroll.
"I'll ask again before killing at least 20 of you, who has the scroll!!" Vaan shouted angrily this time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"We didn't see a scroll, maybe they took it with them" one of the students shouted back.
"Then I'll start with you," Vaan said as he stretched his right hand toward the boy.
"I took the scroll" Jack spoke as he stepped forward with the scroll in his hands.
"Good, toss it over and all of you kids would survive without any casualty," Vaan said breathing heavily, his injured shoulder was affecting his breathing.
"Okay, I'll toss it over...hey Gabriel take the scroll," Jack said and tossed it over to Gabriel.
"Future knights of Avalon...why are you afraid, the enemy stands before us and you are afraid, what was all the training for" Jack shouted.
Immediately Gabriel handed the scroll over to Leia and picked up a weapon on the ground, weapons were arranged in the basement but after that first clash the weapons were scattered all around the basement.
Slowly the second-year students began picking up weapons from the ground as Vaan looked around, most of the students were now holding weapons in their hands ready to strike.
Vaan chuckled as he saw the students, "The knights outside couldn't defeat us and you think you students are enough, then try...and attack in groups so I can kill you guys easily"
'Kill you guys easily' This world alone made half of the students drop their weapons on the ground, all of them were afraid but some of them were still clinging to their weapons.
"I have a proposal, if you want to live get that scroll for me, or after collecting the scroll, I'm going to kill every one of you here," Vaan said with an expressionless face.
Leia who held the scroll looked around as half of the other students began staring at her.
"Just give him the scroll so we don't have to die," a voice said.
"Yes, hand it over to him"
"We can relocate to the capital"
"You guys don't understand, he isn't going to let any of us live" Gabriel shouted but his voice was drowned by the other students.
