Upon hearing Ye Thirteen’s words, Qu Yi and the others snapped out of their daze and swiftly formed teams to rush toward the battlefield.

Clearly, something had gone awry—the Medium Sky Rift incident was taking an unexpected turn.

With Department Heads Huang Ying, Yu Cheng, and Zhao Ming already engaging, lingering as spectators was no longer appropriate.

Among the students, one of Evelina’s fans fired off a live comment before hurrying to catch up with her group.

PatrolMoe_101:

[Our extracurricular instructor says this is the Bloodthirsty Werewolf’s skill—Summon Wolf Pack.]

Evelina, having seen the comment, blinked in surprise and murmured,

“Summon Wolf Pack? Do Bloodthirsty Werewolves even have that? I’ll ask my senior!”

Too flustered to mute her mic, she immediately dialed a call.

It connected instantly.

“Hello, Senior Lin! Do Bloodthirsty Werewolves really have Summon Wolf Pack?”

“Ah! Only specific ones—with a complete pack!”

“Oh! Got it! Thanks, Senior Lin! Yep, I’m live-streaming right now—thank you!”

After hanging up, Evelina let out a relieved breath.

“It’s real! But only those commanding a full pack can use it. Learned something new today!”

Netizens instantly flooded the chat, teasing her about her “human encyclopedia” claim.

Evelina’s composure cracked. She rushed to explain:

“No! This is seriously obscure! I’d bet fewer than twenty—no, ten people in the entire Dragon Realm know this!

I just confirmed it with a pioneer senior!”

While Evelina debated online, Qu Yi’s group arrived behind the three department heads.

They hadn’t been far—reaching the front took mere moments.

Qu Yi stepped forward and called out brightly,

“Director Huang, we’re here to help!”

Huang Ying glanced over, let out a bold, hearty laugh, and declared,

“Good! Let these wolf pups taste the might of City C’s Patrol Squad! Let the whole nation see Southgate Garrison’s students!”

Initially uneasy facing the overwhelming wolf horde—and that sixth-rank Bloodthirsty Werewolf—Huang Ying now felt secure.

Thirty-three students plus six Ace Demon Hunter instructors could handle the Bloodthirsty Demon Wolves.

But most of all: Ye Thirteen stood behind her.

So what if it’s Soldier Rank?

When the moment came, Ye Thirteen would act.

Then, even Soldier Rank would be nothing but fleeting clouds.

Unburdened, Huang Ying charged first, spear thrust forward, claiming the Bloodthirsty Werewolf as her target.

Seeing their leader’s ferocity, Deputy Directors Yu Cheng and Zhao Ming lunged like tigers toward the remaining fifth-rank Bloodthirsty Demon Wolves.

Unaware of Huang Ying’s confidence, Ye Thirteen assessed the field and commanded sharply:

“Teachers—intercept the fourth-rank wolves! Students, form squads and eliminate the third-rank! I’ll handle the rest of the fifth-rank!”

Though Huang Ying and Yu Cheng blocked five fifth-rank wolves, five remained.

The moment Ye Thirteen’s gaze locked onto them, those wolves shivered involuntarily.

Glancing around with near-human confusion, they couldn’t trace the instinctive chill.

With Ye Thirteen—a formidable, enigmatic figure—giving orders, every student and teacher responded with unwavering conviction:

“Yes, sir!”

Instantly, the area around the Medium Sky Rift in People’s Park erupted into chaos.

Humans on one side. Demons on the other.

Veteran netizens watching felt a pang of memory—the darkest era.

Then too, a group of “admirable” souls had stepped forward to shield the world from the storm.

Truthfully, Ye Thirteen’s orders placed little strain on the teachers.

Fifty fourth-rank Bloodthirsty Demon Wolves? Six seasoned Ace Demon Hunters, leveraging rank advantage and teamwork, handled them with ease.

But the students faced steeper odds.

Half were fourth-rank elites—yet still students.

Talented, yes, but foundations remained shallow.

Only thirty-three total, many merely third-rank.

Seventy third-rank demons at once? Pressure spiked.

Before, they’d faced at most three—maybe five during today’s Minor Sky Rift.

Those numbers paled utterly against this dense, crimson-eyed horde.

Many students felt a chill run down their spines meeting those cold, blood-red gazes.

Just as morale faltered and steps retreated, a crimson-haired figure stepped forward.

Qu Yi moved to the front, gripping her Arcane Energy Longsword. Voice soft yet firm, as if swearing to herself:

“Grandpa and Mom faced enemies far more numerous. Far stronger.

They never retreated—I won’t either.

I am the granddaughter of the Qu family of Southgate Garrison—I stand firm and fight!!!”

Her final words rang with unshakable resolve.

A naive yet fearless aura radiated outward.

Provoked, the third-rank wolf pack abandoned caution, jaws gaping, charging the lone hero.

Qu Yi raised her blade, let out a spirited cry, and surged forward.

One against seventy—sword raised toward the stronger foe!

A charge befitting a true hero!

Han Xiangxue and Lai Yingxin immediately followed, unwavering.

Like a blazing flame, Qu Yi ignited every student’s fighting spirit.

In unison, the entire student body rallied behind her, weapons raised, charging the wolf horde!

The official live stream cut to a close-up of this heart-pounding moment.

As Qu Yi’s face filled the screen, Southgate Garrison netizens instantly recognized the red-haired beauty:

Granddaughter of Guardian Qu Xuelin of Southgate Garrison—Qu Yi!
