"Search for him!"
"Just where could he be!?"
"Gods damn it! Now I remember how big this place is!"
"Any luck with his friends!?"
It has been more than an hour since Van managed to escape from the guards and the members of the Explorer Association. It had been an hour, and yet their search had come up practically empty. They have not even seen a shadow of him even once.
They were sure that he would have not left the Academy grounds, it was impossible. And even if he did manage to go through the Academy's barrier, then they would have definitely heard something.
"Damn it, why did you guys have to leave him all alone!?"
"But the Headmaster told us to sign."
Chris could not help but take a deep breath to calm himself down. He couldn't really blame the others, as he too was preoccupied and busy talking with the Headmaster.
"He's here somewhere
...Find him!"

"Ha? Van? What's that, some kind of relic?"
