After a while, the class eventually ended but none of the first years' students looked as energetic as they were in the morning, everyone seem to have one thing to complain about as they left the classroom one after the other, although many of them were still complaining but with the thought of the academy being invaded why celestials, sticking out like a sore thumb in their heads.
Meanwhile, Emelia and Ryan were worried sick about Bernard and Sophia and what could have happened to them, for even the teacher to not mention anything about them even after seeing they were not in class, although they would have loved to ask the teacher Greg but judging from how ugly his mood was this morning and how he had said he couldn't reveal anything yet, they eventually decided against it, and at the same time, he turned out that Emelia and Ryan were not the only ones concerned about Bernard and Sophia, someone else was as well.
As the class ended, just as they were about to leave, someone had arrived in front of them, blocking them with her black spear before glaring at them, Sonia opened her mouth to say, "Any idea about why Bernard and Sophia didn't attend classes today?" She said as she looked at Emelia, with a cold and emotionless look on her expression, it wasn't that she was concerned about them because she cared, but something else entirely.
"No, we currently have no idea, but they should be in their rooms eventually after receiving treatments," Ryan said trying to lie through his teeth, although he didn't want to lie but then he had no other choice, it was just that he didn't want others to know about Bernard and Sophia had suddenly gone missing yesterday.
What's if those who didn't like them heard this, they might use it to attack them just to vent their frustrations, but then what he didn't know was Sonia knew he had been lying the whole time, however she didn't really care about his pitiful lies.
Emelia couldn't help but look at Sonia, when it came to how close she was to Bernard and Sophia, she would simply say they weren't that close or known each other well enough, like herself, Sophia and Ryan had known Bernard, after all, they had known each other ever since they became first years. Nevertheless, compared to Sonia their interaction had always been short, so Emelia was actually surprised that she had come to ask about Bernard and Sophia where about for the second time since today.
"To be honest, I know you two are lying and trying as much to not let me know why Bernard and Sophia had not attended class, however now that the exploration has been delayed, I don't really care if you lie or be honest about their where about, regardless I came over not to tell you two that you are lying but because I got hold of some news that might prove to be useful to you two."
When they heard what Sonia had said Emelia and Ryan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, to be honest, they thought they were trying to be helpful not knowing they had already been caught red handed, thinking they had gotten away with their lies, nevertheless, they tried to keep a poker face and acted like they heard and did nothing, rather they slightly leaned over they had a feeling whatever she was about to say had something to do with Bernard and Sophia going missing since yesterday.
"Yesterday, while walking I overheard from a reliable source saying something terrible had occurred, it was about three students falling into a dangerous stargate. If my guess was right then that's the reason why this whole exploration thing was delayed in the first place, and at the same time the person might have said three students because my presence had been discovered just to hide the truth of the matter."Sonia said, bluntly.
When Emelia and Ryan heard what she said for a moment they had no reactions, and was simply staring at her, for a long time after a while they had finally gotten hold of Bernard and Sophia's where about, but the news wasn't something that could be considered pleasing to the ears, what's more from what she had just said their friend had fallen into a dangerous stargate, Emelia quickly stood up and grabbed Sonia by her shoulders, with teary eyes."What did you just say happened to my Bernard?"
Emelia said as she sprang on Sonia, like a little cat whose hair was standing on ends, Sonia had tried to shift but to her greatest surprise, Emelia had still managed to grab her on the shoulders, she couldn't help but tilt her head to the side, she was both startled and confused by both Emelia's strange actions and words at the same time, and although she was feeling uncomfortable she thought there was more to meet in the eyes from her words of calling Bernard hers.
"Wait, doesn't that mean, Bernard and Sophia were among the students who had fallen into the dangerous stargate, if this was the case then it was no wonder why the teacher Greg didn't say anything about them and simply stared at their seats briefly."Ryan suddenly thought out loud, as realization eventually dawned upon him and Emelia together.
At this moment, it felt as if the missing puzzle parts in their heads were finally piecing themselves back together to form the whole thing, however even with this, they still felt like something was missing that they did not understand, and that was how did they manage to fall inside the dangerous stargates in the process, however, they didn't know who to ask or where to start investigating from, however, there might just be someone who was willing to finally confessed what he had done.
At this moment Ryan took in a deep breath, and turned to look at her Emelia before saying to her, "Emelia, I think I know the reason why they fell into the stargate."
