As their combat classes ended, Bernard and Emelia soon left the weapon hall as well and headed for their dorm, although his vampire instinct was telling him the girls and Ryan weren't the ones who had reported to the academy about their suspicions, but then if they weren't he couldn't imagine who did it. he kept thinking about the words that the person at the other end of the table had said, right now it felt like there was no suspect to who had done it, however, he was still unconvinced, as they were walking he would sometimes glance at Emelia.
Every time he looked at her face, his instinct of her not being the one would grow stronger, although he was still unconvinced he decided to put the part of them being the ones at the back of his mind, another person soon came to his mind, Tom. It was the fact Tom had come to him to plead for his life at the cafeteria but was he the one?
The moment they arrived at their dorm, in order not to look suspicious he followed Emelia to check on both Sophia and Ryan's room, but then when they got there they realize no one was inside their rooms, making them surprised although they weren't too surprised when they found out Ryan wasn't around since he had been hanging around the second year lately so they guess he was likely with them, however, that wasn't the case for Sophia, each time their combat classes ended she would either wait for them at the entrance of weapon hall or outside their dorm since they always hang out together.
So this time, they were quite surprised, what more it didn't seem like she was back from her class, they became worried about her and decided to look for her in the cafeteria, but just as they walked out of the place and was heading to the cafeteria they realize, everyone seem to be rushing to an activity hall room, they tried to ask but realize no one was answering them instead they even seem like they were in haste almost as if they were afraid of missing out on something big, Bernard and Emelia looked at each other before deciding to follow them as well maybe they would see Sophia on their way.
Just as they were following the students, they soon noticed they were heading to the assembly ground almost as if a teacher was about to make an announcement, they thought to themselves unbeknownst of what awaited them.
"Bernard, do you think a teacher is making an announcement?" Emelia looked at him before she said.
"I don't know."Bernard shook his head.
"Maybe, it is relatedly to what happened to Vic, and maybe they want to announce the news of his passing away," Emelia said, after a while.
"Maybe, but I feel as if it is something more, I just have a strange hunch something is about to happen."Bernard looked at her before he said for some reason he was feeling a bit annoyed, which was unusual considering the fact he wasn't even angry when the academy told him they suspected him of being a vampire or even killing Vic, so why should he be now? It wasn't like him to be angry just like that for no reason.
After hearing what he said Emelia became slightly worried as well, she had a feeling this might be related to the fact he was a vampire and didn't know just yet, what more maybe his turner was in danger and that was the reason why he was having that strange feeling. Just after they took several steps forward, they realize second years students were standing at the fronts, even more so, they were the ones directing the first-year students to the assembly ground.
Although it was strange no one said anything since they hadn't done anything, this was so for the first-year students who had high rankings, when they eventually reached the front of the assembly ground hundreds of first-year students were gathering with confused looks on their expression, they finally realize it was not any teacher who was calling for everyone to gather at the assembly ground but a bunch of second years, and before them was a platform several feet above the ground like a wrestling ring.
After everyone got there, they raised their heads and look at the raised platform, awaiting what was above to happen.
"Since everyone is here, I would like to welcome you all." A slightly hoarse voice could be heard on the platform but no one could see who was talking making all the students surprise, as they began to think if the voice was being played, or if there was a speaker but the person was somewhere else.
But then after looking around they realize, there was no speaker on the platform rather it seemed like the voice was coming directly from the platform, making everyone realize the person talking was likely invisible due to his symbiote bloodline and also wasn't willing to show himself to the crowd, however, they could not understanding why.
"Today we have a special announcement, a special message to you all first years. You must have notice a student by the name of Vic Timothy Storm has gone missing, I know some of you must have been wondering what happened to him and some of you must have thought he had transferred to another hall. However, today I am here to break the news to you all, Vic Timothy Storm was murdered and the culprit is someone who has been trying to go against us the second-year students.
"Not only has this person gone against us, but she also murdered a student who was under us just to teach us a lesson. Today, I am here to show you all what happened to those who disobey us and also murdered a student."
The moment the voice finished speaking, a large circular board which no one paid attention to was turned around for everyone to see, revealing someone who was all bloody and beaten up to the point the person could hardly be recognized.
"Sophia?"Both Bernard and Sophia blurted out in shock.
