Chapter 818: Just Getting Stronger



Inside the main building of the Dark Faction Academy, there were several rooms and places that were off-limits to the regular students.

One of these places included a Zen Garden. It was an area curated for the teachers to spend time and cultivate in.

There were a number of well-architected plants, floorways with white stones, and the sound of running water in the garden itself.

In one area of the Zen Garden, there was a large tree that blossomed with pink flowers. It was an unusual sight since spring had already ended, and they were moving into a wintery season.

Yet the plants were blooming brightly, showing all sorts of colors.

"This is really strange," Alba said, looking at all the plants and running her fingers across one as she could smell a strong, sweet fragrance coming out.

"Even in spring, if I tried to have plants show this much color, it would be something that's impossible for me."

As she followed the plants more and more, she saw the large tree blooming pink, and sitting directly underneath it was Safa, cross-legged.

"Are you the reason for all of this?" Alba asked.

Safa, opening her eyes and seeing the Crimson Crane leader, stood up and gave a polite bow.

"They seem to react to my special power," Safa replied, referring to her light magic. "Plants are quite sensitive things. When Raze walks in here, they seem to cower away; some of them even seem to die.

"I've been getting better at keeping them alive, but I guess it's just proof that his strength is far stronger than mine."

Alba somewhat understood what Safa was saying. She had seen what Safa could do, her restoring powers, and had seen the destruction Raze was capable of.

She was quite surprised to see it had an effect on the environment. Regardless, she reached behind her, pulling out a cloth-wrapped item and then threw it out.

"There is an emergency message from the teachers. It appears that someone from Alter has appeared."

"From Alter?" Alba said. "Then what has Amir said? Why are you reporting to me?"

"Amir is already aware. In fact, he was the one who told me to get you," Cronker replied. "Me? What good would I do?" Alba asked.

"It's not you, ma'am. The one he asked for is Safa," Cronker stated. "It appears that Amir knows who this Alter is and believes that Raze and his friends might know as well.

"However, it seems like the man is in critical condition and is unable to speak. The Hybrid's special power is being used, but it's still not enough."

"Help someone from Alter? But aren't they one of the groups that might be after us? What are they even doing here in the first place?"

Alba realized that was the issue- they didn't know. Why would an injured man, near death, come to this place of all places?

Raze was a member of Alter, and they should very well know by now that he was the leader of the Dark Faction, yet not a single member had come asking about him.

He thought he might be able to play the game with Alter for a little longer-they didn't know he was working with Bonum Society, after all-yet there had been silence.

"Take me to them," Safa said.

Going through the academy, it didn't take long until she saw a large man in a trench coat

being laid out on a table.

"Harvey..." Safa said, recognizing the person who had introduced them to Alter.

With a weak smile Harvey turned to look at Safa on the Table and manged to mutter out a few

words.

"We're all f*cked."
