RICKY'S POV
The battleground descended into chaos as the teachers, top-ranking students—known as the Top Cards—and elite magicians flooded in, their movements swift and calculated. The air crackled with tension and the faint hum of magic, punctuated by the metallic clash of swords and the desperate shouts of students trying to flee. But escape was futile. Those who attempted to run were met with blinding magical strikes that seared through the air or the cold, unforgiving steel of a blade.
"I am Gord, the head instructor for Swordsmanship lessons. In my name, I hereby declare you all under arrest!" Instructor Gord's booming voice echoed across the battlefield, his presence towering over the chaos. His sharp gaze swept over the crowd like a predator eyeing its prey, leaving no room for defiance. The heavy authority in his tone made even the most rebellious students falter mid-step, their eyes darting around in search of an escape that no longer existed.
