At this moment.
Outside the Maze of Historical Echoes.
The president of Ethereal Emblem University, Alfredo, saw a series of ripples twisting on the Teleportation Gate.
The first to be sent out was Rephya.
Then came Nini, drowsily falling asleep.
And then, the students and teachers who had been found early by Chloe and the Four Elders.
Yet, somehow.
Alfredo still hadn't seen Chloe come out.
The old magic staff he held in his hand almost got crushed, his breathing starting to become uneven.
Could it be that something really happened to that child?
He had always been keeping an eye on Chloe.
No one knew better than him just how reliable the kid was.
Thinking of Speed Dragon Morton.
Thinking of Dancer Noding.
And then thinking again of Chloe, who hadn't come out.
He was nearly grinding his teeth to pieces.
Could it really be because he was willing to trust the students that this disastrous result happened?
