Chapter 175: A different town (2/2)
(Nod nod!)
After it, everyone was started to panic.
”No, a molester was able to sneak inside the academy!”
A girl shouted.
”Kyaaaaahhhh! Please catch the bastard!”
”Call the Department of Security!”
”No! Let's call the Women Protection Squad!”
”No, the Seniors are just outside, let's call them!”
For some reason, the news proliferates in an instance.
A second later, a group of people with a red bandana that was tied on their right arm were flying towards the entrance to where the commotions originated.
Each of them was riding a stick. No, it probably a staff. An item used to cast a spell. But it looks weird as a small magic array was visible to the front, back, and below of the stick.
”Eh? Why they were riding it?” He mumbled.
Sistela asked.
”What did you say? Only witch will ride a broom. In all my knowledge, based on a few books I've read so far, it supposes to be a sword. Regardless, I felt a bad premonition of their presence!” He shouted.
Sistela thought in puzzlement.
Without minding her, 'Damn that disaster-bringer girl!' He screamed inwardly.
Without waiting for them to land, ”let's go away from here!” he grabbed Rea's hand and dashed away from the crowd.
”Hey! Don't mindlessly rush forward!” Someone shouted. But he disregarded it and focus on escaping.
”Who is--!”
”I'm sorry, excuse me!” He forces his way. He knew that if they caught him, his unsullied name would be screwed.
Even if he cleared his name, in the other's mind the stain would remain! In this kind of thought, he chose to escape instead.
”Hey! Watch your way!”
A second later,
”Where is the molester?!” The one in front shouted a question when their feet landed on the ground. His voice was loud, clear, and powerful.
It was a stoic looking Encan person. He had long black hair that was tied in a ponytail. And a slight bears on his face.
Together with him were 4 other people from different tribes.
”The Senior Leader from the Department of Security is here!” Someone exclaimed.
The people around, especially the girls, looked left and right. But no one claiming of seeing the molester.
In the middle of the crowd, Cinder was staring at the girl in front of her with a blank face.
”Uhm, Lady Ella, why are you here?” Cinder asked.
The girl in front of her was no other than Rea.
She too was wearing a blank face. ”Ahem,” she cleared her throat. ”I want to ask the same thing with you,” she said.
”No, I mean... I saw him grabbed someone's hand. I thought it was you...”
”.....”
Rea didn't know what to think. Her trusted bodyguard left her.
”I also thought it was you Cinde...” she replied.
”.....”
They stared at each other for a second. After a moment of silence, ”pufft...” a chuckle escaped from Cinder's mouth. She wanted to laugh heartily but she was too anxious being surrounded by many people.
Never would she imagine that she would witness a day that Crimson would make a blunder.
”It's Lady Ella!” One of the members from the Department of Security exclaimed when they noticed her standing in the middle of the crowd.
”Lady Ella, did you see the molester?” The Senior Leader asked her.
Rea didn't know how to reply. That person was just so unlucky. Everyone would probably think he was a molester if they caught him. Also, in this place, it would be hard for him to escape away from these people.
”No, I didn't see anyone who molested someone,” she replied.
The Senior Leader glanced at her for a couple of seconds before saying, ”I see. Please be careful as many unusual things happening on the campus nowadays,” after saying it, he glanced at Cinde and asked, ”how about you, Miss?”
”Eh, eh...?” She was startled for a second. ”N-No one molested!” She said in an awkward loud voice. She immediately covered her mouth.
”.....”
”I mean, did you see the molester?” The Senior Leader asked again.
”N-No I didn't...”
He stared at her with little. But soon they left after asking the other students around.
Rea frowned and sighed. She wondered if he would be alright. This place was as big as a town. ”Let's go together?” She asked Cinde who was fidgeting for some reason.
Cinde nodded hastily after hearing Rea's invitation. Although she rather walked together with Crimson, it was better than going alone.
They then proceeded. They would find him later. She just wished he would not further trouble himself.
