Chapter
Ravi laughed. "that's so stupid"
"right?! but it's all cool now, I found it" Thalia said poking the potato .
"guys since it's the weekend, we should try if it will appear" Nerina offered.
"oh yeah! yeah we can plan that." Thalia said.
"Hey Nerina?" Hinata appeared behind Nerina
"Hm?" she turned around
"Have you seen Kento? Is he ill?" Kyomi fidgeted
"Sorry I haven't, I haven't seen him since Nami wanted to talk to me."
"I thought you three are roommates?" Thalia asked.
"well yeah we are, but he told us he had to do something, but he looked pale" Hinata chirped in.
"I went to the bathroom while you and Nami were talking, Sabina left to attend another class too." Kyomi gloomed.
"That's odd, it isn't like him to just disappear, I'll help to find him, maybe he went out?"
"That's what we've been guessing, we were wondering if you'll check around town while we ask the teachers." Hinata said.
"Yeah sure" Nerina looked at Ravi and Thalia. "I guess our town trip is early today.
"I don't mind," Thalia said standing up.
"We should start now before it gets busy. " Ravi also stood up.
—----------
We walked around town endlessly, asking elves if they've seen Kento but no one knew.
"Has anyone seen a guy with headphones by any chance?" Thalia screamed.
"he's kinda tall and looks mean but is the sweetest?" Kyomi explained,
"No princess, we haven't" a group of people said
"Please let me know if you see someone by that description"
Hinata sighed "this is hopeless, we can't find him"
"Kento isn't the type to disappear on me!? And he's not in our dorm!" Kyomi replied with confusion.
"I would've said he should locate, but he isn't here" Ravi said.
"Yeah, but we'll find him," Thalia encouraged.
Except.
"Yeah I saw a guy like that, someone was holding him in that mountain" an old elf said.
"Do you remember which mountain?" Nerina spoke softly.
"Sorry ladies, all I remember was seeing a young boy." the old man chuckled.
"That's okay, thanks for your help." Hinata smiled.
"Thank you" Ravi smiled.
"Guys, We should split up." Thalia spoke.
"But why? Isn't it better to be together?" Hinata said nervously.
"Yes, but we don't actually know where he could be, or which mountain he could be at. I was hoping that you and Kyomi search one part, then Nerina, Ravi and I search the other parts."
"I agree. If we split up, we might gather more ground, and we can always always tell Kento to make us meet somewhere" Ravi injected.
She sighed. "Okay, Kyomi and I will separate." they turned around "good luck everyone "
"Bye-bye!" Kyomi hopped.

We hurried towards the mountain, trying to figure out how and who took him.
"The school is laced with security, in or out of the school, we are heavily protected with magic that sends signals to the school in case of an emergency." Ravi explained.
"That means, a teacher, or teachers should be also looking for him. " Thalia said.
"Yes, we need to figure out who did this before they get away," Nerina said.
We raced towards the mountains, the air was thick, and laced with cold breezy winds.
"Kento!!" We all called out.
—--------
"He isn't here" a voice danced around them.
Ravi quickly stood on the defence, his senses on high alert.
"What do you mean?" Who are you!?" Thalia commanded. "Show yourself!"
"Be careful, we might be out numbered" Ravi whispered.
"It's so chilly here" Neina shivered.
"why does someone know who Kento is?" Thalia scoffed.
"maybe it's a prank? or maybe Kento is from a high status!?" Ravi gasped dramatically.
"stupid kids" the shadow roared.
"I don't think it's a prank guys, we need to locate a teacher, things might get dangerous from here" Nerina turned on her heel.
the shadow suddenly spun towards my direction.
"Fine, I'm done with this, anyway." A shadow appeared as Sabina came out.
"Sabina!?" Nerina gasped.
"Isn't that the new teacher?" Thalia exclaimed.
she let out a chilling laugh "you thought I was a teacher?- it was all an act to take a gem" she glared.
They all gasped. "The gem, how did you know?"
"I know you two know about it." She walked around the mountain.
"My grand plan, to sneak in, find the owner, take it and send it to the person who hired me."
"So you're taking orders from someone?" Ravi stood defensively in front of Nerina.
"That's evil" Thalia said "you can't even touch the gem"
"I can, I have a material that can." she paused. "Now then, since I'm powerful enough to fight you three,I won't force it yet, I'll just let you fight against each other."
"material?" Nerina questioned.
"What do you mean?" Ravi hissed.
"Come out" Sabina commanded.
A figure stepped out from the shadows, the shadow slowly forming into a figure.
Nerina's eyes widened
"Kento!?"
she froze
His headphones were covered in jagged metal spikes.
Black lipstick stained his lips.
Piercings lined his face.
His normally neat hair stuck up wildly.
His skin looked unnaturally pale.
