Chapter 95
The room fell silent for a moment as everyone processed the information. Remillia frowned, tapping her fingers on the table. "So, the pendant’s still missing, and now we’ve got two Rogues involved? That’s not good," she pretended to be shock.
Edge nodded in agreement, his expression serious. "If those Rogues are also after the pendant, it means it’s powerful enough."
Christian’s lighthearted comment broke the tension, and the group visibly relaxed. "Why are you guys so serious?" he chuckled. "It’s not like it’s your fault the pendant got stolen. Let the authorities handle it."
His casual demeanor was contagious, and the atmosphere in the room shifted. Whitney rolled her eyes with a smile, "I suppose you’re right. No point in stressing over something that’s out of our hands."
Cypher leaned back in his chair, nodding in agreement. "Yeah, let’s leave the pendant drama to the authorities. We’ve got more important things to worry about—the upcoming final exams."
A collective groan filled the room at the mention of exams. "Ugh, don’t remind me," Whitney said, rolling her eyes. "We’re supposed to be relaxing, not stressing about tests!"
Angela added, "Seriously, can’t we just skip straight to the holidays?"
Despite the grumbling, the conversation soon shifted to planning their future group study sessions. They shared stories from the masquerade ball, debated the best study spots on campus, and even compared which desserts from the box Remillia brought were the tastiest. The atmosphere was light and filled with laughter.
Remillia laughed along with her friends, but in the back of her mind, the thought of the Pomellus’ Pendant lingered. ’Yep, maybe I should just destroy that pendant later,’ she thought to herself, determined to deal with it before it could cause any more trouble. For now, she was content to enjoy the moment with her friends.

As the finals approached, the atmosphere in the classroom was tense. Sir Jude stood at the front, addressing the students with a stern expression. "Just like the prelim and midterm exams, your finals will follow the same structure. One week will be dedicated to written exams, and the following week will focus on combat."
