At the same time as Emery was pleading with the prominent figures of Zodiac City, a certain group of people were also moving and taking action within the magus academy in preparation for the impending disaster.
For the past twenty minutes, Klea, accompanied by Anas and Sigurd, had been busy scouring through the Academy cube device, looking for information they might be able to use.
Their efforts managed to earn them several pieces of information regarding the Magus Academy's defenses and the potential ways the elves could have infiltrated it.
First, was through the air using a spaceship.
In this case, any attempt of entry by unauthorized vehicles would immediately be stopped by a barrier powerful enough to disintegrate a large warship into nothingness. Said barrier's effectiveness was due to the fact that it was powered by the Light Institute's God Crystal, which was guarded by Grand Magus Aurora.
"With that, the possibility of threats coming from outer space is basically taken care of"
The second way the elves could infiltrate was through the mainstream method of transportation – teleportation gates.
There were about 500 saint-level academy guards and 30 magus-level enforcers watching over the ten teleportation gates in the main courtyard of the academy at the moment.
In the event of an unshielded and overwhelming arrival, the stationed academy guards could quickly shut down the teleportation gates, or even destroy them to prevent those on the other side from arriving.
The third was the possibility that the culprits had already arrived at the academy, hiding somewhere out of sight or among the millions in the audience.
For this matter, there were five thousand saint-level guards as well as more than a hundred magus enforcers spread out across the six different entrances and all over the Grand Hall.
In addition to that, Klea had also utilized a dozen of Kaleos' acolytes, Okoye and her Akavi warriors; they swept the area looking for a suspicious person, activity or any secluded area which could hide a thousand elves.
But among all these possibilities, Klea still put her bet on the recall spell Emery thought about.
As she intently analyzed the symbol on her palm, Klea said, "I'm sure that they will come through teleportation spell"
From what she had researched, she found that other than the academy's [Recall Spell], there was no other mass teleportation spell that could work inside the academy, especially with the barrier powered by the God Crystal still intact.

The hunch Klea had, however, wasn't shared by the Kaleos noble, Anas.
"There's no way the elves would teleport themselves directly to the academy." He said. "I bet that they are already here, hidden in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity."
The different opinion did not bother her. In fact, Klea just smiled as she calmly said, "The more you think it's impossible, the more I believe this is how they will do it." Those words of hers earned a befuddled look from him.
"What kind of logic is that?"
She shook her head slightly before saying, "Trust me, Anas. We need to focus our attention on the academy's recall spell. We have no time to think about anything else. " She then added, "Think. If we are the elves, how can we use the recall spell as effectively as possible?"
With such thoughts in their mind, the main target of their investigation would be none other than the Hall of Aspire. The special hall on the top floor of Magus Academy – one Klea had visited after the Nexus mission.
It was described that on the floor above the hall lies another room where a particular artifact was kept in place. This artifact was said to be taking the form of some sort of antenna; an object that allowed such a complicated and difficult long-distance mass transportation spell to be performed.
"I am willing to bet that if the culprit was hiding, that would be the place they would show up before the attack."
Before her companions could say anything, their attention was distracted by a loud announcement coming from the tournament's beautiful presenter Magus Serena rang through the air.
"It's finally time! Let us now summon all the winners, the top 100 acolytes, to return to the center of the arena!"
From where they were, the group could quickly hear the loud, enthusiastic cheers and applause from the crowd as the acolytes began to enter the arena in an orderly way. The atmosphere in the Grand Hall grew rowdy as the people shouted the names of their favorites out of their lungs.
Aiko the Jade Flash arrived at the front of the group, beckoning for both Klea and Sigurd, who were part of the top 100 to follow her into the arena. However, the Egyptian Queen refused to come along and the Titan bloodline was quick to do the same.
"I have to go report this finding to the Magister," Klea said to her two companions.
"What finding?" asked Anas. "All these are merely our speculations. We still don't have any concrete evidence. What are we planning to give? Are you sure this is okay?" the Kaleos noble voiced his doubt, to which she quickly replied.
"Don't worry. Just follow me."
Anas heaved a sigh but did not oppose further. After their bout of discussion, they quickly set off to meet Magister Griffith in the VIP room. He was intently watching the ongoing event, making sure nothing went wrong.
The man looked very much forced as he walked out of the VIP area saying, "The closing ceremony is just about to start, so this better be important."
Klea, who previously showed an entirely calm demeanor, suddenly acted anxious as she said, "Please, Magister, we find that the culprits should currently be in the Hall of Aspire. They are trying to use the recall spell to transport the elves directly to the academy!"
While Klea continued her act, a dumbfounded look appeared on Anas' face. Apparently, the so-called solution in her mind was lying to the other party.
The reason she did so was because even though she was certain with the deduction she had logically come upon, such an answer would definitely not be accepted by the magister if said frankly.
Magister Griffith seemed to be startled by her words at first, but then he shook his head and said, "That's rubbish. Not anyone can use the teleportation artifact." Rubbing his forehead, the man said, "Just go to the arena and attend the ceremony, leave all of this to us!"
Unfortunately for the man, Klea didn't plan to take no for an answer. Her eyes went past his figure and appeared to glance at the VIP area saying, "Magister, if you are too busy for this, then maybe my master Grand Magus Ororo can help"
Her words visibly irritated the man, but it managed to do the job.
"Don't call her. This is my job," said the man, heaving a sigh. "Let's go"
Klea nodded and they quickly headed for their objective. She was anxious when they finally arrived and was about to enter the hall. Her heart beat nervously with every step they took until they eventually reached inside, only to find no one other than a dark, cold display of a hall.
She heaved a sigh and said, "My sincerest apology, Magister. I guess I heard wrong."
Her words however were followed by a drastic increase of pressure, startling her and the others. They immediately turned their heads and saw Magister looking very serious as he spoke in a stern tone.
"Who is there?! Show yourselves this instant!!"
To the surprise of Klea and the others, a part of the empty hall suddenly turned distorted, and several dark robed figures stepped out from the void. Their attention however was immediately drawn to the person standing in the front of the group.
A beautiful woman with pale skin, long dark hair and red bloodshot eyes.
The infamous head of the Darkness Institute, Grand Magus Zenonia.
