"Wuuuuuuu ~"
The navy blue wind suddenly swept up, sharp like a huge blade of heaven and earth, viciously chopping down on the vast snowy mountain. A few particularly prominent snowy peaks were directly sliced apart by these wind blades, and large chunks of ice and rocks fell from high altitudes.
Intertwining cracks were left on the snowy mountain, thanks to the navy-blue wind. Mofan stood in the middle of the wind and stared at Brianca in awe. He was dumbfounded when he sensed Brianca's wrath!
The huge snowy mountain, from the highest peak, to the steep cliffs, to the slope, and even the sky above the snowy mountain, was filled with the terrifying navy-blue wind. It was all because of Brianca's strong emotions!
Mo Fan was given a fright, too. Brianca did not use any magic. She had only lost control of her Domain and aura, yet she was able to inflict such terrifying damage. How strong was her cultivation?
"The blood hasn't fully soaked into the snow. The culprit must be nearby," Mofan said, trying to divert Brianca's attention.
Mofan also learned how significant the little creatures on the snowy mountain were to the Alps Institute. He did not expect to witness such a shocking scene when they were here to bury the rabbit!
The culprit had killed thousands of little creatures and tossed their corpses into the mountain to the north of the school. It was clearly a provocation to the Alps Institute, and an insane act of revenge!
Brianca took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
When she saw the pitiful state of the little creatures, she assumed it was Mofan and the others taking revenge on the school for punishing them. However, on second thought, they had been doing their homework at the school all the time. They were also attending classes during the day. There was no way they would have the time to hunt down so many little creatures …
Who was the culprit? It was clearly a blasphemy to the Alps Institute, and a bloody provocation to them!?
"The culprit is gone," Brianca said.
"What kind of crazy person have you offended recently?" Mofan asked.
This was clearly an act of revenge. If it was an ordinary act of intimidation and revenge, they would at most kill a few dozen and throw them outside the school gates. However, to kill such a large number of them and pile them up in one place to form such a horrifying scene, it was definitely close to a deep hatred!
"Most of the time, we only interact with other institutes. We rarely interact with other factions. Besides, we are right under the Holy Judgment Court's nose. Even if some people are displeased by our arrogance, they won't dare to do anything to us," Brianca walked up the five-kilometer-long slope.
Mofan walked to the pile of corpses and said, "I'll cremate them. We probably won't be able to find any clues from here. It's better to burn them first so that the other students won't panic … Oh, let me take a few pictures first."
"Alright."
Mofan took out his mobile phone and took a few close-up shots of the scene. Then, he went to a high place to take a picture of the miserable scene.
After he was done, Mofan ignited the Meteor Scarlet.
Without the Calamity Fire Domain, Mofan's control of the Fire Element was a lot weaker. He completed an Advanced Fire Star Pattern and unleashed the Hellish Flames from the sky!
The Meteor Scarlet had a special effect of falling and flying. When Mofan's Fire Spell was falling or flying, the flames would continue to rub against the air, increasing the Spell's range!
In other words, Mofan's Sky-Flame Funeral could only cover an area of around two hundred meters. With the Meteor Scarlet, it could easily cover an area of three hundred meters.
If he had enough time, Mofan could even raise the Sky-Flame Funeral even higher. That way, the flames that fell from the sky would be over five hundred meters wide. The enemy would have no chance of escaping from the flames.
Mo Fan was currently casting the Sky-Flame Funeral. The fiery cloud rose high into the sky, allowing it to cover more of the area.
When the Meteor Scarlet landed on the ground, the snow immediately melted under the scorching heat. It turned into streams flowing down the slope.
The bottom of the slope was a ravine. As Mofan continued to cast the Sky-Flame Funeral, the melted snow continued to pour into the ravine, turning it into a river flowing into Lake Geneva.
Not long after the snow was set aflame, solid rocks were exposed on the slope. Mofan finally realized how thick the snow was. It felt like the ground had suddenly sunk by five to six meters.
"Did you find anything yesterday?" Brianca asked.
Mofan, Mubai, and Zhao Manyan had been eating wild animals here last night. The patrollers had discovered them around midnight. It would take some time for the creature to kill so many little creatures and dump them here. It was obvious that the creature had been on the move since last night.
"We didn't find anything … but I do remember that when my Flying Creek Snow Wolf caught the rabbit, its hind legs were already injured. There were frost marks on them," Mofan said.
"There's no way the rabbit would hurt its legs by itself. It must have escaped from the Mage who killed it. He's an Ice Mage," Brianca said.
"Let's go back and tell the others about it," Mofan said.
…
Mofan and Brianca went back to the school. They headed to Faerun Castle, which was located halfway up the mountain.
Below the mountain was the Faerun River, and three kilometers further down was the Faerun Waterfall. Faerun Castle was where the school's staff met. Since everything in the Alps was in order, Faerun Castle felt rather relaxed. Headmistress Perry, who was in the same year as Ceylan, was sitting in the garden of the castle in the sky, enjoying her afternoon tea while facing the Faerun Waterfall.
"How is this possible!?" Headmistress Perry immediately rose to her feet. She stared at the photos in Mofan's phone.
"We've taken care of the corpses. It's better not to let the students see what happened," Brianca said.
"It's good that you've taken care of it," Headmistress Perry frowned. She had no idea who was behind it.
"Headmistress, the culprit is very hostile to our school. I think we should seal off the school first, to prevent the students who aren't aware of the situation from falling into the culprit's hands," Brianca said sternly.
"Seal off the school? I don't think so, it might be a prank, or it might be a natural phenomenon that we can't understand. After all, it's unlikely that the culprit would come here to cause trouble, "Headmistress Perry said.
"But …"
Brianca was about to say something when Headmistress Perry stopped her. Headmistress Perry interrupted, "The Duke of the Casas and the members of the Rhine Clan will be here next week. If we seal off the school now, I'm afraid we'll miss out on the best opportunity to negotiate. You know how important the Casas are in Europe. They are our biggest source of funding. "But from what I know, the Casas are more inclined to invest in the European Union's schools … we need enough money to support the children we save every year. We need to feed them, provide them with a house, and educate them. If we reject them when they come here, or give them a bad impression, our plan will be delayed for many years. The sea level is rising, and wars are breaking out all the time. There are too many children who have lost their homes …"
Brianca was left speechless by Headmistress Perry's words.
The Alps Institute was self-sufficient. Every Mage was outstanding. They did not need to rely on the renowned clans or factions, but that was not the purpose of the school. They wanted to contribute more to society, to tell the world about the strength of women, and to inspire more women to strive for self-improvement.
In the very beginning, the Alps Academy was a female orphanage. Even now, they still helped female orphans from all over the world to grow up healthily. If they met someone with good talent, they would bring them back to the Alps Academy and teach them knowledge and magic.
However, they needed money to save the orphans. Girls needed protection the most. Otherwise, society would not be able to tolerate them. They would be bullied, raped, beaten, and forced to work as slaves without being able to make a sound …
"Headmistress Perry, even if we have to take care of the people of the Casas, we have to ensure the safety of our students. I have a feeling that the culprit is very powerful, and is hiding close to the school. If they can be so cruel to the gods that we believe in, they won't show any mercy to our students … "Brianca said sternly.
"Therefore, as a teacher in charge of the Disciplinary Office, I hope you can resolve the matter as soon as possible. It's best if you can find the culprit before the people of the Casas arrive. Miss Brianca, I'll leave the safety of the school in your hands. You should know that it's the season when the lecturers and students go out for an exchange. Only you, Ceylan, and Mia are qualified to take care of the school. I hope you can take care of the culprit as soon as possible," Headmistress Perry said.
Brianca wanted to say something, but Headmistress Perry stopped her.
Brianca knew Headmistress Perry was trying her best not to seal off the school. Headmistress Perry was the one who came up with the plan to help the Casas. How could she not carry it out? If she succeeded, her status in the Alps Institute would be different!
"Mofan, Miss Brianca, please keep it a secret. I'll increase the patrols, but I hope you can consider the poor children," Headmistress Perry reminded them.
Brianca nodded stiffly.
