Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1196

The screams from the hall grew louder and more frantic. As she sprinted toward the noise, Claire shouted, "Don't run around-find somewhere to hide!" Inside the hall, both Catherine and Harriet were visibly shaken, frantically shielding the students behind them.

Rosalind and Athena gripped sticks in their hands, desperately striking at the men who had charged in, trying to keep them away from the young women. However, Rosalind was no match for their strength. As she saw one man move toward Cassidy, who screamed in terror, she swung her stick with all her might. But the blow didn't knock him down. Instead, he grinned and lunged toward her.

By the time Claire arrived, Rosalind was already in the man's arms, who was leaning in to kiss her. Rosalind struggled violently, pushing against him with all her strength, but she was no match for him. She scratched at his face, trying to stop him from kissing her. Seeing this, Claire's temper flared. She seized the man by the back of his coat and threw him hard to the ground. With a swift kick to his stomach, he writhed in pain, rolling around on the floor.

Claire snatched Athena's stick from her and began to swing it wildly. The men scattered, cowering and clutching their heads in an attempt to protect themselves.

The man who had dared to assault Rosalind was knocked to the ground, the stick landing across his legs with a sickening crack, followed by a sharp, painful scream.

At that very moment, the carriages of the students' families began to arrive. When the onlookers saw the chaos, their faces went pale.

"What's happened? What's going on here?" someone cried. "How did these men get in?"

The shout caused a rush of people to crowd into the hall, only to be met with the sight of a man lying on the floor, while the students stood frozen in fear.
