The unidentified phantoms confronting us.

One looked like a woman I had never seen before, and the other was a perfect copy of Adrian.

However, the Adrian phantom seemed particularly unusual.

“Is it just me, or does it feel like that one has the same energy as the original?”

Cheong Haram was right. I didn’t know about the woman, but Adrian’s phantom definitely exuded considerable force.

「𝙎𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩.」

The woman was at the level of an ordinary person, but the guy imitating Adrian possessed considerable power, as expected.

「𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙩𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙖𝙢𝙚?」

There was a difference in that their ranks weren’t classified, but they were definitely the same traits that Adrian himself had.

Only then did I realize the true nature of these phantoms.

「𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮’𝙧𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙘𝙤𝙥𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙢𝙞𝙢𝙞𝙘 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙡.」

I didn’t know what caused them to appear, but it was an extremely inconvenient phenomenon.

I already had a lot to worry about, and now I had to deal with shadows copying someone as well.

“Even his sword stance is the same. Is it an imitation? I’ve never seen a spell like this before.”

Adrian stood with his sword raised in front of him, staring forward, and his doppelganger did the exact same thing.

I already knew the characteristics of these enemies, so I advised Adrian.

“He’s probably weaker than the original. You should be fine in a one-on-one fight.”

“Then go on ahead. I’m worried about the children.”

Indeed, the middle school students wouldn’t be able to resist the voodoo seed’s corruption for long.

We needed to move to the shelter with basic defenses as soon as possible.

“Be careful. We still don’t have enough information about the current situation.”

“I’ll be fine. I’ll catch up soon, so don’t worry.”

I was a bit concerned because of the combat power measuring device from the original story, but judging from his specs, Adrian didn’t seem to be at a disadvantage.

Cheong Haram and I left Adrian behind and resumed moving with the students.

At the same time, Cheong Haram came up to me.

“So, what’s this about the Yangcheolgung convoy escaping?”

“I got a call from the teacher. They’re 1st-grade, and there’s a high chance that they had help escaping.”

“I don’t understand. Are you saying that just the two of them came here and are causing all this chaos?”

The recent incident at Yeongwol Island might make it seem easy, but of course, the Academy’s own defense system was incomparable.

There were response systems in place everywhere, and there was even a separate security team that would be dispatched in case of trouble.

Furthermore, there was the safety team dispatched by the Defense Corps and the high-ranking exorcists who had come as guests.

Even if there was a commotion of this scale, it shouldn’t be difficult to handle it if we were given some time.

「𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙣𝙤𝙬, 𝙔𝙤𝙤 𝙃𝙮𝙚-𝙮𝙚𝙤𝙣 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙨𝙪𝙗𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙥 𝙝𝙚𝙧?」

To be honest, I didn’t know the exact situation since the events had already deviated from the original story.

After walking for some time, we finally saw the entrance to the nearest shelter, the 3rd shelter.

“Han Kang-yoon, I see you made it here too.”

“Hello everyone. Fortunately, the students seem to be unharmed.”

I had expected it, but there were already people there. It was Sophia, Hwang Ji-hak, Shin So-ra, and their group, who were guiding the students at a point close to us.

I took a quick look inside the shelter and saw that not only the students, but also the students and civilians had gathered there.

They seemed to have guided everyone here even in this urgent situation. As expected of the top and second-best students.

“You must be surprised. Don’t worry, everyone, please go inside. We’ll guard the entrance.”

Sophia reassured the people with her signature smile even in the midst of the chaos.

After that, we quickly exchanged information.

“I heard about the attacker from the teacher. It seems like a rather troublesome spell has been activated.”

“Did you encounter any strange enemies on your way here?”

“Shadow humans, you say? I definitely remember seeing the face of a graduated senior.”

Hwang Ji-hak had also encountered a shadow and had a fight with it.

It seemed that we were all still in the dark about the situation, but with this much manpower gathered, there was no need to move from this spot for now.

“There are many people in the Academy who are more capable than us. We don’t have to worry too much.”

“I agree with Ji-hak. Since there’s a ridiculous spell at work, it’s dangerous to be walking around outside right now.”

I didn’t disagree with their opinions.

No matter how dangerous the voodoo seed was, Yoo Hye-yeon wouldn’t be able to maintain the epicenter of the curse by herself, considering the current forces present at the Academy.

「𝙇𝙤𝙜𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙗𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙤𝙡𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙞𝙛 𝙬𝙚 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙨𝙞𝙩 𝙩𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩.」

However, on the other hand, I couldn’t help but have lingering doubts.
