Chapter 107 - 107: Animal

Victoria…

was currently in front of the Acadeates with Harvey

"P… please, Miss Victoria, we have strict orders not to let anyone out!"

"Don't you knoe are!? Do you want both our families to come destroy your whole family!? What's your name, eh!? What's your mother's name!?"

"Harvey, don't"

The people that were guarding the gate had no idea what to do If it were any other student, they would have already forced these two to go back to their dor thehter of the most influential people in their country

And they were insistent They have been here for uards to let them out They are used to Harvey's screa But Victoria's quiet and cal to bear

But still, orders were orders The city guards have already taken over the security of the school, and if they did not follow, they would surely be fired this very instant

They were, however, having reservations The fauards… maybe they could compensate them if they let the two out?

No That was a bad idea, the guard thought as he shook his head a couple of times The Explorer association was involved in this…around that the Circle, the government, was already aware of the sins and criht in the crossfire if these… mammoths battle it out It was always them in the middle that are the victi all of that into consideration, it was best to play it safe

"I really auard said without even blinking, the thu of his chest, however, showed how nervous he really was

"If you-- Ugh, fck all of you!" Harvey rushed towards the gates and punched it, only for a disgusting snapping noise to echo through the people's ears

"Gah!" Harvey roared as he grasped his hand The guards wanted to check on hi his way back to the fresh

Victoria also followed hiuards

"We're stuck here!" Harvey once again roared as soon as he got inside of the building, his voice echoing through the seely dark and empty halls

"And where the fck is Bea!?"

Back in the abandoned arena

"V… Van?"

It took Van's whole strength to just lift his head up to look at the owner of the fa, he finally heard a voice that shaved off a heavy weight that his body ever so burdened The chains that were stopping his feet fro, unlatched

Finally, comfort

"Beatrice," Van muttered, his voice eak, and yet it pierced the very depths of Beatrice's body, causing her to slightly let out a stuttered breath

"Y… you're really here?" Beatrice said as she approached Van, her steps were slow and her hand slightly covered her face

"Are you… and Harvey okay? What about Victoria?"

"You… don't need to worry about us, Van W… we're alright" Beatrice's tears started to fall on her face as she saw the expression on Van's face He was trying his best to sled to lift hi the look on Beatrice's face, could only let out a long and deep sigh, "Do… you reht it eird that you suddenly spoke to nored me"

"Van?"

"I didn't trust you at first Because… well, you know my story It happened here, at this very spot In fact you're standing at the very spot where they threw ht chuckle as he pointed beneath Beatrice's feet

"I--"

Before Beatrice could even speak, Van continued his words It was obvious that he was gasping for breath, but still… he spoke

"But after a while, I did I did learn to trust you You became my very first friend in this world, Beatrice I… I will always be thankful for that"

"Va--"

"And then Harvey caed About people, about food, about life And I thought for once, I could be with people that won't… that won't… Haa It doesn't lad it was you"

Van's words were filled with fettered breath, but even then, Beatrice could hear them clearly

"That means you've always been true to me…

Thank you, Beatrice"

"I… I' up the scenery in front of her as they struggled to escape her glasses "I'm so sorry"

"I trust you, Beatrice," Van whispered as he stood up, taking in a deep breath as his legs tre anyway So tired Did you know they told me I killed my father? Haa… I actually wish I rememb--"

"Why!? Why did you have to be here!?" Beatrice waved her hands as she screaht this would be the last place you would be in! Why did you cohtly chuckled as a tear also started to trail on his face "I'"

"They… they told uild… I' it on the dirty ground without any care,
