Lunch hadn't even gotten into full swing and another batch of Cultists decided to take another crack at the city barrier, their attacks coming in waves as they launched spell after spell from the mountains nearby.
It wasn't only spells either, since they must have constructed a trebuchet somewhere in the mountains as well since boulders were raining down onto the barrier too, and the only reason we knew they were real and not made with magic was the lack of mana that surrounded them.
Apparently they were hoping the non magic projectile would somehow be ignored by the barriers and let them land within - or at the very least, hit - the city walls, though that was a very foolish hope that they had.
From the cafeteria we could see the flashes of magic against magic all around the city, and for a few long minutes everything was silent in the Academy as we just... watched, uncertain of what to do and unable to determine if we should be truly worried or just ignore everything.
