Hunter Academy: Revenge of the Weakest novel Chapter 295

Chapter 295 Chapter 69.4 - Aftermath

–I see. So, that is what happened here?"

"Yes, that is exactly what the three students exclaimed."

Inside the now-changed office of the Phantom's Land, Eleanor faced the hologram right in front of her face. With the removal of Phantom's Land's conditions, she could utilize any type of mana artifact just as she wished.

The first thing she did after getting the testimony from Irina and the others was to contact the headmaster about what they needed to do.

–Hmm….Things got a little troublesome here…"

The headmaster's voice echoed from the artifact, seemingly troubled.

–With the involvement of a demon, we can no longer hide this case as we wish." He continued his words.

"Then, what shall we do?" Eleanor asked. She had been getting pressured by Mage Towers, the Hunter Association, and the government. Thus, she was getting a little restless as well.

All three were interested in what happened in Phantom's Land. Mage Tower was undoubtedly interested in the phenomenon itself, while the other two were interested in what transpired exactly.

The Phantom's Land was something that had been bothering the government for quite a long while, as it was akin to a bomb that could explode at any moment.

In the past, countless different cases where such phenomena had caused a disaster out of nowhere without any warnings.

Thus, it was undoubtedly important for the government and its safety.

–Hmm….." The headmaster hummed, seemingly thinking about it. -

–If we go completely identical to their testament, it will be a lot harder for us to hide student Sylvie's powers."?And he spoke.

The fact that Sylvie had been in the middle of many different incidents and her prowess was already gaining quite a bit of attention from the authorities.

Despite the fact that the headmaster was trying his best to keep the information within the walls of the academy, there were undoubtedly many personnel who weren't completely under his control.

Different factions existed in the academy, even now, and they were likely keeping tabs on this incident.

"Then, should we reveal that she wasn't affected by the spell?"

–We can do that…..I will handle it."

"Understood."

Just like that, the call was finished.

*******

The headmaster, using the mana artifact, initiated a holographic communication with the government officials.

–Headmaster Jonathan."

From the hologram, a cold voice echoed, facing the imposing figure of the headmaster in his own room.

–We wish to know what happened inside the Phantom's Land."

Headmaster Jonathan inclined his head respectfully as he addressed the government officials through holographic communication.

"Of course, Minister Veridian, Director Harlow, and General Thornfield. I appreciate your swift response to this matter. Allow me to provide a comprehensive overview of the events that transpired within the Phantom's Land."

Minister Veridian, the head of the Department of Magical Affairs, scrutinized the holographic image with a stern expression. Director Harlow, responsible for Supernatural Anomaly Investigations, maintained a neutral demeanor. General Thornfield, overseeing Paranormal Defense Forces, observed the proceedings with a keen eye.

"As we delved into the Phantom's Land, unforeseen magical anomalies occurred, resulting in a critical situation. Student Sylvie, possessing unique healing abilities, played a pivotal role in mitigating the immediate threats to her fellow students, Irina and Astron."

The headmaster proceeded to narrate the version carefully constructed to divert attention from Sylvie's true capabilities.

"However, due to the extensive use of her powers, Sylvie experienced a temporary loss of consciousness. Rest assured, we have taken measures to ensure her well-being, and she is currently under observation by our medical staff."

Minister Veridian interjected, –Headmaster Jonathan, we understand the need to protect our 'students.' However, the presence of a magical anomaly within the Phantom's Land is a matter of great concern. Can you provide details on the origin and nature of this anomaly?"

The headmaster maintained his composed demeanor as he responded, "Our preliminary investigation suggests that the magical anomaly was an internal disturbance within the Phantom's Land itself. It was not caused by external entities or influences. Our experts are conducting a thorough analysis to understand the specifics of this unique occurrence."

Headmaster Jonathan continued his narrative, addressing the government officials with a tone of candor and transparency.

"The origin of the magical anomaly within the Phantom's Land is currently under investigation. Early assessments lead us to suspect that the manifestation of the Phantom's Land itself may have been influenced by the presence of a demon."

He took a moment to gauge their reactions before elaborating further.

"According to the firsthand accounts of students Irina Emberheart and Astron Natusalune, after waking up within the Phantom's Land, they sensed a powerful energy converging into a specific space. Following this energy, they encountered a demon conducting a ritual of some sort."

Minister Veridian's expression grew more serious while Director Harlow furrowed her brow in contemplation. General Thornfield maintained his stoic demeanor, awaiting more details.

"Student Irina Emberheart engaged in a battle with the demon and successfully defeated it. The subsequent collapse of the Phantom's Land was triggered by the defeat of the demon, resulting in the dissipation of the magical anomaly."

The headmaster chose his words carefully, emphasizing the students' role in averting a potential catastrophe while downplaying the involvement of external entities.

As he finished his words, all three officials fell into silence for a second, and following that, Minister Veridian turned his attention to the other two, Director Harlow and General Thornfield.

–Do you have any words about this?" And he asked.

–I don't." General Thornfield was the first one to respond. Since he had already been notified by the investigation team, he was sent to Phantom's Land. "Just as the Headmaster recounted, our investigation team also reported the existence of the demonic energy in the cavern, where the energy was the most potent."

General Thornfield continued his explanation, addressing Minister Veridian's inquiry with a composed demeanor.

–Traces of fire magic were found throughout the cavern, indicating a confrontation had taken place. The body of the demon was located, burnt beyond recognition."

He paused momentarily before providing further details.

–Our analysis indicated that the demon attempted to flee the scene, but it was intercepted and defeated by student Irina Emberheart. The utilization of fire magic in the confrontation aligns with the findings in the cavern. We also obtained confirmation from Matriarch Emberheart, who identified the magical signature as belonging to the Emberheart family."

General Thornfield exchanged a glance with Director Harlow, emphasizing the cohesion between their reports and the information provided by the academy.
