The man glared and Wolfe could see the hands tighten on the rifles, but with him pouring mana into the Kind Intentions spell, there was no way that they could shoot.

"Give it up, you can't break the barrier created by a Saint, and I have forbidden harming anyone here. Now, you will take me to speak to the students and any faculty that are left here, or your people will face the wrath of a man who killed your Emperor in single combat." Wolfe insisted.

The men went pale, and that was enough to confirm that they were from the same world as the last batch, but they had opened another portal, and ended up hundreds of kilometres from the location where the first ones appeared.

"What sort of monster are you?" The guard demanded, still pointing the rifle at Wolfe.

"Not a monster, I am the Regional Guardian of the Frozen Wastes, a nation to the north, where your people invaded not long ago. Now, are we going to go see the witches, or are we going to have a problem?"

The man huffed in annoyance, but it was clear that he wouldn't be able to shoot the trespasser, and he relented, gesturing toward the rooms behind him with his rifle.

"If you can get in there, you are free to go talk to them. With that accursed barrier up, we can't get into the room." He announced in a voice that was more of a grunt.

Wolfe walked past him and politely knocked on the door. "Good morning, it is Wolfe Noxus here. Do you mind if I come in? I will give you all a moment to get decent if you need it."

They didn't, as they had prepared as soon as they heard his conversation begin outside, but it was polite to give them the warning anyhow and pretend that he hadn't been looking through the walls.

The door slowly opened, and a witch with a sword in her hand pulled the door open with a smile on her face.

"Patriarch, it is good to see you again. I take it that someone got word out?" She asked,

"Actually, we came to pick up the Headmistress for a meeting in town. We asked Priya to get a hold of her, but I never checked if that was successful. Where might the Headmistress be right now?" Wolfe asked.

The student shook her head. "She is already in the Fortress City, as far as we know. I don't know the situation there, but it probably isn't good, since we've got so much trouble here."

Wolfe frowned. That could explain why they were having trouble getting in contact with her.

"How long have you all been down here? Do you need anything?" He asked.

"Just to get out of here and go about our regular lives. What is up with the invading humans from another world anyhow?" The girl asked.

"They conquered their world and thought that they would take over another as well to prove their power. They have a rather cool magical ability, though, to let humans use spells. I captured a couple of their Archmages, and they're teaching the bunnies to use magic." Wolfe explained.

The girl just stared at him as if he were speaking a foreign language, and Wolfe remembered that most of these girls knew nothing about the Frozen Wastes.

"It's a long story. But in short, they're not bad once you slap the stupid out." He added.

The guards in the hall were bordering on open rage now, and Wolfe fully expected a shouting match, but then boots sounded on the steps, armoured ones, and he felt a sense of magical power moving. Whoever was coming had active spells on their equipment, and a lot of them.

"So, we have a little worm who has come to talk to his harem of sinners. My cousin Claudius sends his regards." The man announced as he reached the bottom of the stairs.

"Do you name all your Emperors Claudius?" Wolfe asked, turning to take a good look at the man in front of him.

"You didn't think that you had actually killed him, did you? The Emperor of All He Sees is immortal, and already risen from the dead to continue his reign in a new body." The man announced.

"Wait, are you the new Emperor then? The same soul passed through to a new body?" Wolfe asked.

"Me? The Emperor?" The man began to laugh hysterically, while the guards simply looked terrified.

"No, my cousin was and is the Emperor, and no mere human will ever truly kill him."

Wolfe smiled at the madman. He could think of an excellent way to test that theory. Nether Lightning would do a fine job of burning the soul from the body of their new Emperor, and Wolfe would be able to tell right away if it was the same one reincarnated.

Perhaps he should have finished the job with Nether Lightning the first time, instead of being satisfied after the Wrathbringer chopped him in half.

"Then I see that we might have some issues here. For one, you have invaded territories under my protection, and for two, you are keeping students prisoner in the Academy. Move your troops outside the Academy walls, or return them to your homeland, and this can end peacefully." Wolfe decided.

"Or I can use my holy wand of nullification to bring your barrier down again, and I can kill you where you stand." The man in the fancy armour countered.

"If that's how you want to do it, I can take the barrier down for you, but you won't like the ending."

Wolfe could hear the nervous witches in the room behind him, but they would be fine. The bullets in the rifles were at Rank Two, and he could defend the whole area against that indefinitely. How much magic this man could actually use was a valid concern, as all his magic seemed to come from items, and Wolfe couldn't sense any aptitude for actual spell casting at all.

The man raised a wand in the air, and mana began to gather around him, crackling and sparking as he tried to overcome the reinforced [Kind Intentions] barrier. But he was only Rank Six, and he didn't have the ability now that Wolfe was here.

"It's a shame that, as the caster, the spell doesn't actually have any effect on me." Wolfe informed them with a mocking smile, right before his Nether Lightning burned the three men to ash.

"Now, what do I do with the rest of them." He pondered, as the witches began to come out of their hiding spot in what he now realized was the school's panic room.
