The air outside the Secret Realm was filled with tension. In the dim sky, rolling clouds seemed to foreshadow the coming storm. Deans Sly, Gulu, and Ligula stood in front of the entrance dozens of meters away, staring anxiously at the glittering door, but there was embarrassment and uneasiness between them.

"Why haven't they shown up yet?" Sly took a deep breath and moved his feet impatiently. His golden robe rustled in the wind, and his stern face gave people a sense of oppression.

"Obviously, they are in trouble in there." Guru's voice was low and slow, with a slight upward curve at the corner of his mouth, carrying a hint of unpredictable mystery. "According to the previous notice, the trials in the secret realm are not easy, which is why we reminded them."

Ligula half leaned against an ancient oak tree, quietly looking at the two. Her purple robe swayed gently in the wind, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, with a hint of calmness and elegance. "No matter what, they must come out as soon as possible. The closure of the secret realm will not wait. If they don't come back, it will really be too late."

Sly clenched the staff in his hand in annoyance, veins popping out on his forehead. "This is all your fault! You insisted on letting them enter the secret realm alone. I told you it was too dangerous here!"

"I admit that this decision is controversial." Gulu shrugged slightly, seemingly not taking Sly's accusation to heart, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "But our students need challenges so that they can grow."

Ligula looked at the two and interjected, "Guru, your attitude is too rash. We all know the dangers of the trial, but this is an unprecedented opportunity. If they pass, there will be more possibilities in the future."

"But what if they fail?" Sly glared at Gulu, his eyes full of worry and uneasiness. "This is not a game, their lives are at stake!"

Guru shook his head disapprovingly. “Excessive worry will only weaken your judgment on the matter. Humans must grow in danger so that they can adapt to a more complex environment. Only in this way can they break free from the shackles and forge their own path.”

Ligula frowned slightly and interrupted the argument between the two: "Don't argue about this issue now. Obviously, it is more important to wait for their return instead of blaming each other. The energy of the secret realm is constantly increasing. If we don't take action, we will be left to die."

Sly turned his gaze away and closed his eyes, but the worry in his heart could not be dispelled. He knew that Guru and Ligula's insistence was not unreasonable, but it was like a heavy blow to his heart. He looked up at the light door that was about to close, and he seemed to hear the shouts of students in his ears. It was an extreme cry for help, which made him feel more uneasy.

"We must find a way to lead them back." Ligula said calmly, with a hint of determination in her tone. "With my power, I may be able to sense their location, but it will require a lot of energy."

"But you have to be careful. Your condition does not allow for over-consumption." Sly said with a serious face and a twinkling gaze. "If you don't guide them properly, they might get lost deeper into the secret realm."

"I know what I'm doing." Ligula's voice was firm. "This is not only about their life and death, but also our responsibility as the dean."

As the three were arguing, a strong wave suddenly came from the air, and the light gate flickered more and more violently. As if warning of something, the three deans looked at each other and instantly realized the urgency of the situation.

"They're coming!" Sly stared at the light gate with a sharp eagle-like gaze, and his heart was filled with excitement. Without hesitation, the three of them quickly approached, pricked up their ears, and listened to the gradually clear movement.

"Hurry up!" An urgent call came from the light gate. As the volume grew louder, the light in front of the gate became brighter. Sly felt a force gathering, as if several students were trying their best to rush out of danger.

"We are ready to receive them!" Ligula turned around with a determined look, ready to welcome the returning students.

The light gate finally burst into dazzling light again, and a group of figures rushed out like a broken wind, stumbling and rushing out. Leading the way were their students, Hall and Mia, whose faces were full of fatigue, but still full of joy.

"We did it!" Hall cried excitedly, waving his hands towards the deans.

"Hurry, come quickly!" Mia followed him closely, looking anxious, as if she was quickly checking the conditions of others.

"We're here to pick you up!" Sly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to grab Hall, and pulled him closer, "You guys are really worrying."

"We encountered some troubles." Hall panted, the sweat on his face flashing in the residual light of the light gate, "but we came back successfully."

"Where are the others?" Guru's expression changed slightly and he asked nervously.

"They... they are still inside." Hall's expression was gloomy, revealing a hint of uneasiness. "The light gate is about to close. We must hurry!"

"Guide them back immediately!" Ligula quickly instructed, "Mia, take your classmates with you and tell them to retreat quickly. We will use your power to guide them."

"Okay!" Mia nodded, feeling a glimmer of hope in her heart, and quickly shouted to her companions behind her, "Follow me, quickly! We have to leave this place!"

At the same time, Sly and Guru were also planning to guide more students from the exit. The three deans all realized tacitly that those who could be rescued now were not hopeless, on the contrary, the cooperation between them was extremely important.

The edge of the light door gradually became blurred, as if reminding him that everything was about to end. The energy at the door gradually weakened, and the moment he turned back, Zhang Yang's temperature became lower and lower.

"It's too late, let's go!" Hall shouted hurriedly, and in desperation reached behind him, hoping to catch more companions.

"I'll help you!" Sly thought again and again, veins popping out on his forehead. He gathered his energy and tried to form a powerful shield to protect the two of them from passing through the light gate.

Guru also began to perform his own magic, clenching his hands, drawing the elemental power around him, creating a bright passage. Sacred and majestic energy emanated from him, reflecting the dark worries.
