I, the All-Class Magus, All My Awakening Skills are LvMax

Cecilia was somewhat surprised herself because when she first saw those bodies outside, her initial thought wasn't to clean them up.

After all, with so many things lying around outside, it naturally added another layer of defense like a wall.

It would force the monsters to navigate around the bodies if they tried to attack again, potentially serving as a blockade.

"Yes, exactly, and you've seen the properties of this Bone Arrow. They are very effective against these monsters. Once we make a large number of these arrows, it means we can save a batch of black iron ore."

Black iron ore is essential for repairing the city gates, so having extra is preferable.

With 14 days still to go, they needed to plan carefully.

"Alright, I'll arrange for someone to retrieve them and make them all into arrows."

Though many monsters had died, and their bodies lay outside, once decomposed, they didn't seem as numerous.

John had not mentioned one concern: he felt somewhat uneasy about leaving the monster bodies outside.

If they could think of this, Principal Sophia surely could as well, which meant that fundamentally, this approach was not supported.

So, it was better to process these bodies now.

Even if other situations arose later, they would still be in a manageable state.

"What's the situation with the person who was resurrected?"

John asked, but Isabella's mood seemed noticeably heavier in response.

"It's not good. After being resurrected, he's in a weakened state. All his attributes have decreased by 50%, and this weakened period will last for 12 hours."

"Also, I've asked him in detail, and after he died, he really lost all consciousness and wasn't transported out. Now, he's in a very panicked state."

The man had accidentally fallen and was trampled to death by monsters.

The excruciating pain he experienced was imprinted in his mind, giving him a distinct and unsettling feeling.

"I'm starting to feel that after dying now, we won't be transported out anymore. If someone dies and isn't subjected to a Resurrection Spell, they might really be dead..."

John said in a lowered voice, which startled both Isabella and Cecilia.

"What are you talking about? You can't just say things like that!"

Cecilia was the first to react, reproaching John.

Everything they do could potentially be made public, and if such statements were taken the wrong way, it could lead to serious consequences.

"Exactly, the school would never expose us to such great danger."

Isabella also spoke sternly.

Regardless, they both believed that the school was definitely on their side and would never let them face any real danger.

"But if the school can hear everything we say here, why hasn't anyone spoken out to correct us?"

John's remark left both of them speechless.

Indeed, they were within the secret realm and also within Principal Sophia's domain.

Whatever happened, Principal Sophia would be immediately aware of it.

If there really was nothing abnormal, why hadn't there been any communication right from the start?

From the moment the mission was issued until now, they hadn't received any further messages.

Initially, it seemed fine, assuming that as long as the main mission was accomplished, nothing else mattered.

But now, it seemed the situation might not be that simple.

"I hope this is just my speculation, so no matter what, you both must ensure your safety, and make sure everyone else does too..."

John's tone became serious.

Though there is the Resurrection Spell, how many can it really save?

The most critical aspect of the Resurrection Spell is that the death cannot have been longer than five hours ago, and it requires a complete body!

While we can resurrect five people at once here, elsewhere it's only one at a time!

And the cooldown time is just too long.

How could possibly everyone be saved in a fortress with a couple of thousand people?

"Don't worry, they're not that foolish."

Isabella's tone was indifferent, but her expression had turned cold.

She still didn't believe what John was suggesting.

John couldn't help but frown, "If they're treating this just as a trial, of course they won't care much. After all, they think if someone dies, they just die and can still leave the game."

"But if they knew that death here means no resurrection, that it's final, they would be far more cautious!"

John was also hesitant about whether to tell everyone.

But he knew that even Isabella and Cecilia didn't believe him, let alone anyone else.

"Let's take it one step at a time. I think we can handle this," Cecilia finally said, though a question mark lingered in all their minds.

What exactly was going on?

If there really was nothing wrong outside, why had no one contacted them up to now?

There was only one possibility.

Things must also be chaotic outside!

John was right; the Star Cluster Academy's spectator stands were indeed in an uproar!

The first person to die was the youngest son of the Dubhe nobility.

The father was already distressed seeing his son fall to his death, and he was eagerly waiting for his resurrection.

But to his shock, two hours passed, and his son did not return!

In the end, it took a Resurrection Spell to bring him back to life!

Moreover, the son's attributes had been reduced by 50%, and he was acting erratically, shouting and screaming, hardly resembling the brave and clever boy he was known to be.

"What on earth is going on here? Star Cluster Academy must give me an explanation. Why wasn't he transported outside after death?!"

This noble was shouting, demanding an explanation from Geoffrey.

The rest of the audience was also beginning to panic.

Especially after hearing what John had said, they were even more terrified, now demanding that the trial be stopped immediately!

Even if their children couldn't attend Star Cluster Academy, there were other schools to consider.

But if their children really died here, they would lose everything!

Geoffrey was quickly investigating when he discovered that the area surrounding the realm seemed to be encircled by a hastily drawn array!

The lines forming the array were chaotic, appearing to have been drawn in haste, but they were dizzying at first glance.

"Principal!"

Without any hesitation, Geoffrey immediately informed Principal Sophia.

Principal Sophia, with a stern expression, quickly examined the lines, and her face grew even grimmer.

"This is... a Divine Descent Array!"

"What?!"

Geoffrey and Percival gasped in shock upon hearing this.

"Wasn't this type of array long lost? How could it appear here?!"

And it conveniently encircles the Principal's realm!

This is... this is aiming to doom all the students!

As the name suggests, a Divine Descent Array is used to invoke the descent of a deity, but such rituals require a sacrifice.

Usually, the sacrifice is placed within the array, and now the array encompasses the Principal's realm!

This means the person who drew this array intended to use all the students as a sacrifice to invoke a deity!

Such a malicious intent, and moreover, it blindsided Star Cluster Academy!

"What should we do now?"

The array was already emitting a faint golden light, indicating that it had been fully activated.

No wonder Principal Sophia had mentioned that her connection with the realm was becoming weaker.

Now, the entire realm was trapped in a separate dimension, completely cut off from reality.

This meant that the children who died there were truly gone, without even a chance to be transported out.

"Break the array as quickly as possible! Inform everyone about this situation!"

"Principal!"

Geoffrey panicked at the suggestion of making this public.

The school's reputation had already slightly declined due to the Dusk Sect incident.

Revealing this situation could ruin them completely.

"Do you have the confidence to break this array by yourself?"

Principal Sophia's tone was icy.

Geoffrey was at a loss for words.

He... did not have that confidence.
