The fifth peak was the busiest peak among the academic peaks, and every day, one could see the peak bustling with people and students along with vendors selling what they wanted.
But today, since the students were all gathered in the stadium, the vendors put up their stalls close as well, so although the fifth peak was still filled with buildings and shops, they were empty, a deathly silence covering the area.
At a clearing not far away from the stadium, the air hung heavy with the acrid stench of smoke and blood. At the center of the devastation lay three bodies, motionless and lifeless. The area surrounding those bodies was charred black as if something had exploded right there.
Of the three bodies lying dead, one stood out in its ghastly condition: its entire frame charred and twisted as though consumed by an inferno. Half of the body was burnt to the point that it wasn't even recognizable as golden blood seeped from the broken remains, pooling around the body.
