Waking up the weird feeling Cain had felt the previous day seemed to have gotten stronger, he felt as if he forgot something important
Going on his Z-Watch Cain noticed he had 2 notifications which both left him surprised
[ Happy birthday]
The message had no user and came from an anonymous source
'Wait it's my birthday today?'
Cain thought as he was confused of course he had no idea when the real Cains birthday was so he was a bit surprised, but then opening the second message he was left even more confused
[ From : Sarah
I'm sorry
]
'Sorry, did something happen, I'll ask her today when I see her in class it could have just been a mistake'
Quickly preparing Cain got ready and headed to class
Sitting in his seat Cain noticed how the class started filling up as more students started arriving
The class was quiet as it seems the school trip still had its effect on many students
Yet as the class started filling up Cain just got more agitated as Sarah had not arrived yet
Finally the main characters arrived it seemed they were also worried as they looked at Sarahs seat to check whether she was there
As the bell rang the Crimson Witch showed up
"Okay class I have a few announcements to make today, firstly there will be no classes for the rest of the week to give students time to think over the school trip"
"Secondly one of our students Sarah Palin has left the school and transferred to another one"
'Transferred?, this never happened in the novel at all, in the novel she stayed in the school until she was killed in the second year by Selena starting a war'
"Thirdly a updated ranking will be put up tomorrow In front of the classes, that is all and may Leo Ashborn, Ray Lionheart, Alissa Pendragon, Amy Ashborn, Kayla Black, Cain Stardust please stay after class"
As the students left the classes a new kind of determination could be seen in their eyes as they all left
After all the students left Cain and the others all went to The Crimson Witch as she started talking
"You six must be aware of Sarah's identity, so you guys must have figured out that she did not actually transfer schools"
"Well obviously" Kayla said in a sarcastic manner
"Anyways she has returned to her family so you guys do not have to worry"
The Crimson Witch said
Immediately letting out a sigh of relief, the others were satisfied that she was safe, they had worried that something bad had happened to her
Everyone except Cain was relieved as he knew just how evil her family really was
"Did she leave willingly?"
Cain asked as he observed The Crimson Witch
The others were surprised by his question, I mean obviously she left willingly, Sarah had spoken about her family before and she had seemed to be very close to her father and mother so the others couldn't understand the meaning of the question
The Crimson Witch was shocked by the question as in actuality Sarah did not leave willingly
When 2 of the Elven Royal Guard appeared she resisted going back as much as she could and they actually had to knock her out and drag her away
As the Crimson Witch heard Cains question she didn't know how to answer, if she answered truthfully Leo and the others could do something reckless so she lied
"Yes"
Satisfied with the answer everyone was happy, that is everyone but Cain
"You guys may leave, Cain you stay behind there is something I want to discuss with you" The crimson Witch announced to which the others left
"What do you want to talk about?" Cain asked he wanted to leave quickly so he could go and find a way to save Sarah
"Become my mentee, I have seen your potential and could help you become one of the strongest people on this planet" The Crimson Witch said as she looked at Cain
"No" Cain answered without any second thought
He had thought something like this could happen but even with all the advantages he could get, she was not meant to be his mentor she was Leos
"What?" Honestly she had never thought he would reject her offer and thought he would have been delighted by such an opportunity so his reaction had stunned her
"I said no" Cain repeated casually as he tried to end the conversation
"Why?" The Crimson Witch asked confused
"Because you have misjudged me, there is one person who has a higher potential than me and would be perfect for you" Cain replied
"and who's that?" The Crimson Witch asked intrigued
"Leo, he is the number 1 student, and I can say without a doubt that he has more potential than me, also I don't want a mentor"
Cain answered half truthfully
It was true that Leo had more potential than him but Cain had actually wanted a mentor someone who could help him get stronger as there was still so much he could learn
"I have an even better suggestion, how about I mentor you both" The Crimson Witch said
"That won't work" Cain replied casually again
"And why is that?" she asked confused
"Easy, because I don't like him" Cain replied
That was another lie he had said that as he didn't want to be closely related to Leo just after he ended their friendship
"Anyways I have some plans we can continue this conversation later"
Cain said as he dashed outside the classroom
While heading to his apartment Cain had been typing a message to Leo and the others to go to his apartment but as he arrived he saw them all standing there in front of his door
"What you didn't think we actually believed what she said did you, Sarah would never leave without saying bye"
Leo said as he smiled at Cain
Without knowing it Cain subconsciously let out a smile
'Thank goodness he isn't a dumb protagonist'
'Fuck the plot, I am saving Sarah'
And with this thought Cain and the others started planning on how to save Sarah
