The alarm bells echoed throughout the academy.
Students rushed to the windows.
The professors moved swiftly.
As for the giant magic barrier that had protected the academy for hundreds of years...
It began to glow.
And in the sky...
Dozens of figures appeared.
Elders.
Professors.
Guards.
All of them staring at that white-haired man.
But the strange thing was...
No one attacked him.
Instead, their faces were pale.
Meanwhile, Eldar...
Stood atop the highest tower.
And for the first time in many years...
Tension appeared on his face.
> "How..."
>
He whispered in a low voice.
> "How did he get out?"
>
Inside the room...
Iris approached the window.
> "Who is that?"
>
As for Kim...
He didn't answer.
Because something inside him...
Didn't feel any danger.
And that alone...
Was what troubled him the most.
The unknown figure was looking at him.
Directly.
As if he couldn't see the walls.
Nor the barriers.
Nor the distance.
Then...
The man raised his hand.
*BOOM!*
The entire world trembled.
But...
Nothing happened.
No attack.
No magic.
No explosion.
Instead, small flakes of light appeared before him.
Then...
They fell.
Like snow.
Everyone's eyes widened.
Because it wasn't energy.
It was flowers.
White flowers.
They drifted down over the entire academy.
And silence fell.
As for the white-haired man...
He smiled.
A tired smile.
Then, he whispered.
> "Do you still hate flowers?"
>
Kim froze.
Because this phrase...
No one knew it.
No one.
Except...
His eyes widened for the first time.
And his smile vanished.
Impossible.
This is impossible.
The man, however...
Laughed softly.
Then, he raised his hand.
And pulled back the hood from his face.
And at that exact moment...
Kim's breath hitched.
Because the face that appeared...
Was not the face of a stranger.
It was a face he knew.
A face he thought he would never see again.
A face that had died.
And deep within his soul...
The chaos stirred for the first time since his arrival in this world.
As for the man...
He looked at him with sadness.
Then, he said calmly:
> "I'm late."
>
> "I'm sorry, Kim."
>
Kim, however...
Did not utter a word.
Because the name that surfaced inside his mind...
Was only one name.
Amon.
