"This is...!?"
The voice that suddenly rang throughout the entire academy made everyone's expression change. They abruptly raised their heads.
"An announcement?"
Luo Zhen also frowned, then immediately relaxed and turned his gaze toward the dean's residence.
At this moment, every teacher and student still desperately resisting or taking refuge in the academy heard the announcement.
The Witch's voice echoed among them.
"First of all, to everyone who can still put up such stubborn resistance despite things reaching this point, I, as the initiator of this operation, must offer my highest respect and praise."
The owner of the voice spoke in a teasing tone, causing Charlotte, Loki, Anri, and Frey to show angry expressions.
The person speaking over the announcement was clearly the leader of this operation.
Her voice sounded young, but her diction and the impression she gave were remarkably mature. She seemed to possess a wealth of experience and years, and her words were filled with a bewitching quality.
She was a genuine Witch who took pleasure in toying with other people's hearts.
And the Witch continued.
"Although I admire your tenacity, I have no choice but to give you all some bad news. Many people aren't actually as capable as the outstanding individuals here. For example, the academy's dean, the Chief Representative Professor, the deputy representatives of the professors, the heads of various departments, the commander-in-chief of the security force, and the highly ranked students from the Night Party have all been captured by us. A total of one hundred and twelve hostages are now in our hands."
The delighted voice made Charlotte and the others widen their eyes one after another.
"The dean was captured too?"
Loki rarely showed such a stunned expression.
"You're lying, right?"
Charlotte found it difficult to believe as well.
Only Luo
