“The Morningstar University did mess up on this one,” Jill’s father agreed with his friend, seeing him have a hearty laugh at Morningstar University’s expense.
“Haha, those dumb old fools will die out of anger when they learn that the boy planned to join their university all along,” Arnas’s Master could not stop taking pleasure in the stupidity of Morningstar University and its leaders.
“Who will tell them that? If your people capture the boy before the people of Morningstar University then they will never know that the boy planned to join their university,” Jill’s father explained to his friend that if his men successfully captures the boy then Morningstar University would never learn that the boy was planning to join their university all along and that they did not need the trouble of collaborating with the central government.
“I will tell them, the look on their faces will be priceless. I will tell them how they not only pushed away a genius but they pushed him into our nets. Dumb old fools hahaha,” Arnas’s Master laughed aloud imagining the look on the faces of Morningstar University when they learn about the stupidity that they have committed which not only led them to lose a good fortune but deliver to the Central government.
“You keep calling them old, have you forgotten we’re all almost of the same age, a century here and there at best?” Jill’s father reminded his friend that he too was old.
“Whatever—” Arnas’s Master wanted to argue but was interrupted by the text notification of his grimoire. Reading it he shared its content with his friend, “The Rat has left its hole as you said. Our people are ready to attack them when they are halfway through the journey.”
The reason the central government force did not immediately act once the boy was outside of the royal palace ground was that they wanted the boy to be far away from the palace rounds once they commenced their attack such that the boy cannot immediately retreat to the royal palace grounds.
“I have asked my subordinates to stream the whole mission on a secured network. Do you want to watch it with me?” Arnas’s master asked his companion.
“Why go through that trouble?” Jill’s father looks at his mate in puzzlement wondering how dumb would one have to be to stream a covert operation even if it was being streamed on a secured network.
“Don’t look at me like that, you and your daughter’s meddling has turned a simple kidnapping mission into a full-on invasion. However, thanks to that my disciple will get to test one of my latest projects. This is my first time using it in the field. Hence the live stream. Let me show you what I have been up to when you were busy trying to relieve the numbness in your heart. Prepare to be surprised,” Arnas’s Master sent an invite to Jill’s father’s grimoire to connect to the secured network where the live stream of the central government forces invading the Southern Capital was being hosted.
“Oh, surprise me,” Out of all the founding Masters, Jill’s father included, Arnas’s Master was considered the least creative, not original and uninspired. These were the words of the academicians of the top ten universities explaining Arnas’s Master’s special hate for them. Therefore Jill’s father was not that enthused about Arnas’s master’s project knowing it would not be something that he hasn’t thought or heard about.

Just as the Prestige Four Seasons was within my sights, Ann’s grimoire started buzzing with numerous warning notifications.
Going through the warning notification, Ann looked up in the sky while accessing the Golden Gate and ordering the 250 turrets, “Aim.”
Listening to Ann’s order, team one, Jill, and I immediately looked into the sky and searched for what she was aiming only to find a humanoid figure clad in black descending on the city array formation dome.
“Lock target.”
We then saw the cannons of all 250 turrets move and aim at the humanoid figure which had already descended on the array formation dome then Ann decisively ordered, “Fire!”
The deafening sound of thousands of cannons going off simultaneously resounded throughout the Southern Capital. Soon thousands of cannonball-shaped energy bombs beelined toward the humanoid in black in under a second.
However, before the energy bombs could even reach the humanoid figure in black the city array formation covering the Southern Capital started to vibrate. The vibration of the city array formation became so strong that it shattered like a brittle mirror and its shattered pieces rained on the city but before they could reach the city skyline they crumbled into smaller pieces before dissipating with the wind.
Seeing the humanoid figure in black break the city array formation team one, Ann, and Jill looked at the raining shattered pieces of city array formation in disbelief.
Each of them had thought of various ways the central region would try to attack them and kidnap the boy but in none of those scenarios did either of them consider that the central government would break the city array formation as the black card they had could protect them from the array formation covering the city and southern region.

“Adaptive Resonance Disruption,” Jill’s father who was watching the live feed of the central government forces— to be more accurate Arnas’s Master’s forces invading the Southern capital suddenly exclaimed in disbelief.
“…” Seeing the dumbfounded look on his mate’s face Arnas’s Master’s face brightened and beamed with pride.
“Y-you, how did you achieve adaptive resonance disruption on a scale big enough to destroy the city array formation of the southern capital? That too outside of laboratory conditions, how?” Jill’s father no longer maintained his calm and demanded his friend explain to him how his disciple was able to achieve large-scale adaptive resonance disruption outside of the laboratory conditions.
