Eryndor City.
On Elysee Avenue, countless students had already gathered. Their faces were filled with indignation, their voices raised in chants.
"Killing people in the shadows—what kind of ability is that? Is this what an emperor should be doing?"
"So you can kill—can you kill us all? We, the students of Hyrule War Academy, are not afraid of death!"
These students did not feel fear because of their classmates' deaths.
On the contrary, their faces brimmed with righteous anger.
They were convinced that everything that had happened was Aurek's doing.
Just as the emotions of the crowd reached a fever pitch, a heavy clattering sound echoed in the distance—the sound of armor striking against stone.
The imperial guard cavalry appeared before the students.
The idlers and bystanders who had been watching the commotion quickly chose to withdraw.
But the students did not retreat.
Instead, they stood their ground, staring fearlessly at the armored riders.
