Chapter 57: Re-conquer[GTG]
Disbelief hung heavy in the air of the crowded elevator. Conversations crackled with hushed whispers, punctuated by gasps and wide-eyed stares. "This just can’t be true," a student muttered, shaking his head in denial. "Two students missing? And from the academy grounds itself?"
Another leaned closer, his voice barely a murmur. "Quiet down! The school’s already searching the place high and low. There’s no way they could have vanished without someone noticing something fishy."
A third student, oblivious to the hushed tones, blurted out, "But who exactly went missing?"
The first student, glancing around cautiously, lowered his voice even further. "It’s..." he hesitated, then leaned in conspiratorially, "That Luke guy."
A spark of recognition flickered in the third student’s eyes. "Wait, the same Luke who got us in trouble during combat class?"
"The one and only," the first student confirmed. "I was just about to unleash a month’s worth of pent-up frustration on him, but alas, he’s vanished into thin air."
"Just him?"
The first student shook his head. "No, the other one is even more unbelievable... it’s Leon, the prince himself! Leon Kingscrown!"
"No way!" the third student began to shout, but a hand clamped over his mouth just in time.
