[ Tic...Tic...Tic...Tic.. ]
The clock on the wall was making a tic-tic sound and one person was lying on the bed and was sleeping
The person who was in the room and sleeping on the bed is Arjun, who has recently got saved from the dungeon and ordered to rest for some time
The room was very big and around a hundred people are also sleeping, those people are mostly injured and are covered in bandages
Arjun's condition is better than other students but he is still ordered to rest because the heat has drained most of his body water
When most people were sleeping, he opened his eyes and checked his surroundings and found no one was awake at that time
Arjun got up and sat on the bed, Arjun who was awake started to think about what happened there
( what happened when I was not there, was rent thinking of escaping from the start and is Donn ( Hiro ) the one, I know or now something changed, that changed his path )
He doesn't know how rent went missing but he can't do anything about that
( what is happening!? Why is the story so different from the original )
( if rent was planning to escape...then...why? )
Arjun was confused why Rent wanted to escape from there
( one thing is clear rent has known something )
Two things have changed from the original story
( first rent went missing and second, suddenly Appearing of donn )
Arjun looked at one person who is also lying on the bed like the others but he is more injured than the others
That was Ron and Arjun was looking at him from a little far, there are eight beds in between Arjun and Ron
( looks like the story has not changed from the Ron side )
Just like in the story, Ron is badly injured, mostly because of that monster and his art
Ron's art is so strong, that if used by lower ranked than KNIGHT, his body will start to freeze, Ron's art is ice elemental art, which can tell from his hair and eyes
That art is very useful in fighting but that art is also dangerous for newly acquired will holders because weak bodies can't withstand that art and slowly, cold will start to spread in the will holder's body
And the will holder will feel like, he is covered in snow
( if I can remember, then after that, he will start to feel cold in his body, but he didn't think much about that and when he noticed that in his body, most of his mana had already stopped flowing )
Arjun was thinking that because in the second ark, he was at a disadvantage in a fight because of that and that time was one of his regrets time
After thinking for fifteen minutes, Arjun lay in bed and fell asleep
* * * * *
The next day, most of the first-year students are sitting in the hall and academy teachers are on stage and the academy vice principal is saying some words
[ we didn't think something like this could happen, I am sad and. . . ]
Vice Principal is saying his speech, most of the students have been covered in bandages and but some students are still in the infirmary and still take some days to recover
My teammates are visible in some seats ahead and I am also injured in some places
[ I regret some soal we have lost ]
A total of ten people died in this ark and around twenty to thirty people are seriously injured It takes some days to recover and one month to fully recover
[ I am sure some cadets feared this accident, so we have decided to give cadets a holiday for ten days ]
now for compensation, the academy has given dead people's families some money and ten days' holiday for injured students
People's deaths are normal in this era and nobody mourns for dead
( ten days..... I should train in these ten days and prepare for the second ark )
After I went to the academy dormitory and entered my room and took some of my things and looked at the ground from the window
No one was in this room and I locked the room from the outside and started to walk outside of the Dormitory and
[ Dhak ]
My shoulder touched with another person and when I turned to see who was that
( who?? )
[ huh!? Arjun!?? ]
After watching who was that person, I asked
[ what a coincidence seeing you here Sela ]
The one who was in front of me is Sela who was with us in the monster hunt task, she is a sorcerer and was very helpful in defence
[ yay, I was surprised, where are you going right now? ]
[ nothing important, I was just going to lunch ]
[ ohh, then why don't we go together, I am also hungry and I want to talk to you ]
Sela wants to go eat together.
( I wonder what she wants to talk about? )
[ Of course, this will be my treat ]
when she said that, I was not able to think practically and before I could think, I said
[ OK, Let's go together ]
* * * *
Right now Sela and I are in one cafe and eating some food, originally I was going to some cheap restaurant and buying some food
But Sela insisted on going to an expensive cafe
[ how is the food? ]
Sela was looking at me, her voice was casual but her eyes are saying that was some Serious question
( What is she trying to do? something is weird about her )
[ The food is good, now what do you want to talk about SELA? ]
suddenly her face and back got straight and her eyes faced mine and suddenly she bowed at me
[ I am sorry for leaving you two at that time ]
[ !????? ]
I was surprised, I didn't think she would be doing this
[ it's... Okay... Situation was... Weird at that time ]
I didn't have resentment for her leaving us at that time, everyone will do that in that situation
[ but still, that was horrible, so I hope you will forgive me ]
I didn't expect this kind of people to still be on this planet
[ okay I forgive you ]
After that, we talked for some time and when I thought everything was over, she threw a bomb
[ actually....arjun....I....like....donn ]
My eyes widened and she said that when I was about to drink water, thank god she didn't say that when I was drinking water
She was shy about that, placing her right hand at her mouth, and because of that I cannot see her emotion but her chicks were red
[ ohh, I did not know that ]
[ so, Arjun I was asking if you can help me with that ]
[ what do I have to do? I don't think I can help much ]
[ it's okay, you just have to ask if he has a girlfriend or not ]
( I think, I can help her )
[ okay, I will try to ask him ]
[ thank you, Arjun ]
[ it's okay ]
[ okay Arjun, I have to go now, I have some work and I have paid for food ]
[ okay, bye ]
[ bye ]
And she left, but I didn't know she could fall for Donn

Inside the girls' dormitory, in one room one girl was talking on her phone, the lights were off, and because of that, the face of the girl was not visible
[ is everything going like planned? ]
The person who is speaking, from listening, finding the gender of that voice is not possible
[ yes sir, I befriended one of the people who was there ]
[ hum, okay find out what happens at that time and how the number 26 is gone ]
[ yes sir, glory for the lord ]
[ glory for the lord ]
And the call was cut and the girl put down her phone, she was sitting on the bed and a smile was on her lips
