Gio took off running the instant he was on the academy island, but he knew how much time he had. His goal wasn't to reach the school buildings yet.
'The academy's foundation was first destroyed with bombs so it could be disconnected from Celestelle. When that foundation was broken, the island itself was forced to fall apart.'
The island was once created by first making three huge molded pieces of land before conjoining them with architecture and technology.
Those three pieces would come apart in–
'–6 seconds. I need to be in the middle.'
Most of the teachers were on the left side of the building, as they had been attending a staff meeting moments prior to the attack. They'd be stuck there defending themselves, but they'd also be able to roughly protect the students around them for some time.
The right wing…
'They're sacrifices.'
Gio stopped wasting time justifying his decisions.
