Thus, amid the bizarre atmosphere, a group of black-clad figures dressed similarly to Lord Shadow stormed into the academy.
"Everyone, don't move! We are Shadow Garden! Those who make any reckless moves will be killed without mercy!"
The black-robed man cleaved the teacher's desk in half, startling all the students who witnessed it.
