A while ago...
"Huh, looks like everything is right over there." Zoey blew her cigarette as she saw the classmates come into the Principal's office from the window.
"Maybe I'll also go there- AAHH!!" As Zoey looks at her side, there he is, Derugo who's cowering in fear as he hides in his clothes. Zoey gets mad at Derugo because she almost stumbles from his clothes.
"What the hell is wrong with you?! Why are you here?!"
"E-Eeek! I'm sorry!"
"Huh... You almost gave me a heart attack- Huh?" Zoey looked at her side, Derugo did not know what she saw from his perspective. Zoey then went inside the room.
"H-Hey, where are you going?!" Zoey touches the window glass of that room, looking at the view beyond it. Derugo noticed that he could see the view of the town from that room. But, the view of the town wasn't what Zoey was looking at.
"No... way..."
...
Kiyo and Eden were about to go up the stairs to 3rd floor right where the Principal's office is. But then they stopped as they stumble upon Michail and Fimana who were walking down the stairs. From Michail's expression, Kiyo was sure that he seemed to be not in a good mood right now.
"Hey, what happens inside there-"
"Move!" Eden tried to talk to the siblings but was pushed off by Michail who seemed not in a good mood right now. At the same time, Kiyo sees Fimana's expression which seems to be in trouble.
"Look at that, our knight in silver armor is angry at a commoner who didn't do anything. Noble my ass..." Hearing the provoking words from Kiyo, Michail stops his movement. He slowly turned his head back and saw the smile on Kiyo's face.
"The hell you said?" Michail seems to have eaten the bait. Kiyo then opens his mouth.
"Ah, didn't you hear it? I said you're just a hot-tempered noble who just let his rage on a commoner-" Before anyone knew it, the tip of the blade was already in front of Kiyo's eyes. Michail stopped his attack knowing it was a bait he just ate from Kiyo. He then lowers his blade as he takes a breath.
"I have no word for anyone I didn't trust and I don't wanna hear it. Especially from you. We're leaving."
"Leaving?" Eden muttered the moment he heard it.
"I have confirmed that this school isn't safe for me and Fimana to reside in. Then, until we meet again." As he left his last words, Michail and Fimana walked inside the dark corridor. Soon, Kiyo lost sight of the siblings.
"In the end, I still couldn't understand him," Kiyo muttered in a low voice. And then, Kiyo and Eden also met Lori and Xenyi who were going downstairs.
"Is everything ended already?" As Eden asked a question, the person who answered it was Xenyi.
"No, we simply made our choice." A choice, for one who acknowledges this school's secret. Eden who didn't seem to yet acknowledge it asked more questions. After a while, Eden finally acknowledged that they were in for a project Monsters.
"I see, but all their intention is to train our Unique. Why would bother leaving?"
"Even if that were the case, what he did just broke our trust. Who knows if he tried to do similar things to us after that? Who'll know what happened, maybe he was after our body."
"I don't think The Sage has any intention to lust for younger girl. Even so, he's the kind of person who'll try to get things done over with."
"How do you know that, Eden?" Kiyo questions Eden out of curiosity.
"Ten told me."
"Oh..." In Kiyo's mind, Ten seems to have a history with The Sage, Melium. Maybe one day he'll know the truth. Maybe not.
"In any case, we're leaving. Eden and Kiyo, you both too pack your stuff as we're about to leave this damn school."
"No, I'm not gonna do that."
"What?!" Xenyi confused as to why Eden was decided to stay in the school.
"Ah, I mean is... I don't have any place that I would call home other than this town. You see, I made quite a lot of illegal things that made me have a bounty on my head. And it was Ten who brought me here. To be honest, I couldn't be more grateful to him since he's the one who gave me what they called 'Life'. So, I've made my choice. Simply because it simply the decision that I thought is right."
After hearing Eden's speech, everyone becomes speechless. But the silence breaks when Ryuma jumps out downstairs as he runs to the dark corridor. Kiyo who seems to know everything in the Principal's room is over tried to reach Ryuma. But he still regained his energy as he used all of it from his fight with Rosa.
"Eden, quick! We need to catch up to him!"
...
In an unknown location, there seem to be two guards who are wearing silver plate armor just standing by the gate. One of the guards is silent meanwhile the other yawns from tiredness. As time goes by, they notice the multiple carriages are coming their way from the road.
As the carriage arrived, one of the guards went to the carriage's driver.
"Registration please." Meanwhile, the other guard went to check the content of the carriage.
"You a merchant or something? There seems to be a lot of you with carriage here. Mind if I check what's inside of the box sir?"
"Ah, go ahead." As time went by, one of the guards noticed something in the registration form.
"I'm sorry sir, it seems the stamp on this paper is fake. I'll need you and your friends to get off the carriage and show your license please."
"Ah... busted huh?" The words from the driver made the guard wary as he reached for his sword. But then he noticed at the bottom of the carriage. There was a red liquid flowing down from under the carriage. He then immediately calls out to his colleague who's checking the carriage as he backs off...
"Joseph! You there?! Oi! Answer me!" There seems to be no response, the driver then stands up and aims something at the guard.
"I'm sorry buddy... But you need to check out for your friends yourselves. In the afterlife that is." The driver pulls the trigger, and then something like a fireball comes out from it. Immediately burn the guard to the crisp.
"WE NEED BACKUP HERE! CLOSE THE GATE!!! CLOSE THE GATE!!!" There's some of the guards witness the event and become alert toward the group of merchants with multiple carriages that's more than ten. Soon, a lot of people come out from each of the carriages.
"Ah... I thought we were able to stealth it this time. Looks like we're going to use the old efficient way. Come out from where you are, Daddy's coming!"
