The next day just like usual was a morning class, however, compared to the usual morning classes the students were very excited and eager about today's class.

While eating in the cafeteria most of their discussions were about what today's class was going to be about, the reason for this was simply because the day was special compare to other morning classes, not only was there no training classes for the day, instead the day was going to be about teams assessment and the first year students exploration excursion to their very first planet.

Meanwhile, two students were not as excited as the rest of the first years, they were none other than Emelia and Ryan who could be seen coming out from their rooms, the moment they were out of their rooms, they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at both Bernard and Sophia' door room hoping to see if they were back, but as if to disappoint them, it was just like it was yesterday and no one was inside the room.

Usually, when it was time for their morning classes, Bernard would have already been out waiting for them and Sophia so they could head to the cafeteria together to have their breakfast while chit-chatting on their way, but today no one was in the mood to talk, they could help but look at themselves as if they were strangers, at this moment they suddenly realize without Bernard and Sophia around going to the cafeteria had suddenly become boring and not as fun as they thought it was.

Although, they didn't feel like going to class due to them not being around, but then, they had no choice but to attend classes, otherwise, they would be punished by the academy, which would be anything but good, so they simply walked into the cafeteria with silence, Ryan kept looking at Emelia he could feel she had something she wanted to say but at the same time she seemed to be finding it difficult to come out of her shell, as he saw this Ryan sighed to himself.

As they entered inside the cafeteria, some students couldn't help but stare at them, Emelia and Ryan didn't need to think much to understand why they were being stared at, it was simply because they were usually with Bernard and Sophia, but today for some reason they couldn't see them together, making some of the first years' student who had become used to their group to feel something wasn't right, regardless they didn't think too much about it and continued what they were doing.

After entering the cafeteria they noticed for some reason the students were excited and were discussing about something, when they paid attention to it that was when realization finally dawned upon them, due to the fact they had been so worried about Bernard and Sophia, they had nearly forgotten what was today class about and how special it was for every first year, considering they would be going out on their first exploration.

Although this was supposed to make them excited as other first years, however, it had quite the opposite effect on them and only made them even more worried than they already were before, it was needless to say without Bernard and Sophia around their team was incomplete, although Sonia had accepted to join their team, they would still be short of two more people, and even if they wanted, no one would be willing to join their team since the list of their teammates had already been submitted yesterday.

However, if that was all they wouldn't be as worried about, it was the fact Bernard and Sophia had suddenly gone missing, and so far they hadn't been any news about them, and if they were perfectly fine or were even in some kind of danger, what's worse was that they had not returned since yesterday, if not for the fact they both knew Sophia and Bernard were strong they would simply have thought they had been kidnapped from the academy.

At first, they thought, both Bernard and Sophia had gone to league city, after all, that was the only place that they could have gone to if they weren't at the game hall or their combat hall, at that moment they had even regretted the fact they didn't have enough credit points to go look for them in league city, so they had no choice but to wait maybe before it was curfew time they would be back.

However, to their greatest surprise the time went past curfew but they could not see them nor had they come back or were simply tired to have not come out of their rooms.

Gradually at this point they eventually understood something was wrong and soon became even more worried, they wanted to file a report of two students missing however, they had decided against it for the meantime, not that they didn't want to but they didn't want to believe something bad happened to them and decided to just wait a little longer maybe at that time they would have come, and if they had not come by that time they would simply file a report of Bernard and Sophia going missing.

As class started Emelia and Ryan walked into the class, in order not to garner others' attention they decided to simply sit at their usual seats, but then when they thought no one was paying attention to them, someone actually did the moment they walked in, the person was none other than Sonia, although she was quite excited about the exploration, due to her expression being always cold and emotionless, no one would notice this.

After entering the class, she had been waiting for Bernard and his group to show up, but as she was waiting she realize the usual time they were supposed to come they didn't, instead only two people came to the class which was the weak girl and the dumb boy, as she noticed them she couldn't help but look around if she would spot Bernard or Sophia, but after a while she couldn't see anyone of them, prompting her to stand up and walk up to Emelia and Ryan.
