"Excuse me. Have you seen a pretty young girl with long reddish brown hair around?" Cynthia asked the first school guard that she saw who was patrolling the academy grounds.
"Sorry, Ma'am," the guard replied as he shook his head. "I didn't see any girl that matches your description. Is she lost or anything?"
"No, but the Dean is looking for her," Cynthia said while trying to hide the panic in her voice. "If you see her, please tell her to go to the Edelweiss Building, Room 3B. Tell her that the proctor reconsidered and will now allow her to take the exams."
Although the guard was surprised by her words, he still nodded his head in understanding. "Understood. If I see the girl, I will tell her your message."
