I found myself once again lying down on the medical tent's bed. Its has been the 2nd time I passed out on that day. And I can spoil one thing, it's not the last one as well. So, about the warning that I tried to tell to Emerald. How did I end up with that conclusion? It happened just after I woke up from the first faint I got a couple of minutes ago.
"Uh...that was a doozy...Didn't know I would actually feel a lot to him." I was murmuring about White. "I gotta stay focus. We're partners. Not more than that."
I stood from the makeshift bed and got out of the tent. Once outside, I took a deep breath and let it go to make myself at ease. But as soon as I was about to walk, someone who was in a hurry, accidentally shoved me.
"Oh, sorry about that. Hey, are you a student here?"
I told him, "Yes. Is something wrong?"
"Actually, do you know a student that goes by the name of Cyclone White?"
Hearing that name once again immediately made me cautious of the person for some reason. I think I was just being careful but it was a good decision after finding out what's about to happen. I decided to play along and act as if I only know White as an acquaintance.
"I think I know him. If you're looking for him, he might be with a guy who looks like he's a prince. Is he a prince? I'm not sure..." Of course, I was feigning ignorance.
"Alright, that's sounds about right according to the scout. Thank you, miss."
"Excuse me." I stopped him and asked, "What do you need from White anyway?"
"It's non of your business, miss. This is an adult's world and you should just stay put. Anyway thanks again." The guy then quickly went away.
He'd think I didn't notice when he accidentally blurted out the word 'scout'. From the looks of it, the people who were looking for White isn't alone. But I can't tell how many for now. And that was when I decided to find my group mates to tell them about what happened. But as I was about to do so, the sun was already rising at the top of our heads. It was very hot. I was already sweating a few moments ago and my inner clothing were already drenched from the inside. It doesn't help with the fact that I'm wearing a big jacket.
To top it all of, the effects of last night's crunch time has finally come to me. For context, last night before the event, I tried to finish off a couple of gun that was issued by my customers. It wasn't particularly needed to be finished before the event, it was so that I could have some free time during and after The Music Festival. But it looks like what I did last night has finally took its toll. And that leads back to the present where I woke up from the same bed for the 2nd time.
"Ah jeez..." I scratched my head and sighed, "I hope White and the others are alright..."
Then out of the blue, "They'll be fine." A suspicious guy was sitting on a chair next to the bed that I lied down.
"Who are you?" I wondered.
"Do not be alarmed. Your friend, Emerald sent you here. I'm just a volunteer over here. Don't worry to much."
"I see..." I was able to calm down after hearing that.
"I bet those guys were looking for your boyfriend."
I quickly responded, "He's not my boyfriend!"
"Sure. A whole lot of our batch already know about you two." He talks as if he knows us.
"Who are you exactly?"
"I'm sorry about that. I'm also from the same batch as you guys. Hailing myself from The Entertainment Magic Class, Crescendo is my name and music is my game." He bowed down like a gentleman.
I nodded and told him, "Entertainment Magic...So you must know Blanc, right?"
He replied, "Blanc? Of course I know her. She's the loudest in the class."
I laughed in agreement to what he had said.
"I don't recall seeing you around in the past semester." I told him.
He then explained, "That's probably because you Magic Studies students are just so busy burying yourself with books and old scriptures."
I got out of the bed and told him, "I think I'm alright now, thanks for taking care of me, Crescendo."
"Oh it's no problem. I'm just doing what I'm asked for."
But as I was about to step out of the tent, Crescendo stopped me.
"Hey, what's your name again?"
"It's Zenith. Zenith Feathers." Then I turned to the outside and said, "Goodness, the weather is so hot."
Crescendo then advised, "I don't think it's a good idea for you to go out in this weather, Zenith. You look exhausted from something you did before"
"Then what do you propose?"
He suggested, "Why don't you just sit here and wait until the weather gets better?"
"But my friend is in trouble. I have to go to him now." I was really worried for White.
"If that's the case then you shouldn't go alone, you're just going to cause another scene. Only this time, your friends won't be carrying you back here."
I sighed and said, "Okay. Okay. You can come with me if you want to."
"Just take it slow, Zenith." Crescendo stood up from his chair.
"I'll be fine."
Immediately after I said that, my balance were off and I almost slip myself to the ground but I was able to hold on to something strong. It was Crescendo's arm. He caught me just before I was about to fall down.
"You really need to be more careful." He was a gentleman. "Come on, we do this nice and slowly. I know White is a tough fella, so don't you worry to much, Zenith."
Like I said, this Crescendo guy was something alright. Immediately, he already done a lot of things that not much other people would have done. I think he's more sophisticated than White for some odd reason. I think it's because of how he treats a lady like more than just a lady. I can't really express the exact meaning but I'm having mixed feeling about him alright. I just hope this feeling is wrong.
