Chapter 66: Lord Of Shadows
"So, Taylor sunbae, what do we do next?" Ivy asked Taylor, who sat near the window, watching the chaos unfold in the academy.
He turned to her for a brief moment, his jaw clenched tightly. "I think we..."
Before he could finish speaking, one of the scouts they had sent out rushed into the room and glanced around from Reozaki, who leaned on the door he came through, to Jisoo who sat nearby, then to Amanda who was seated at the center.
He then moved closer to Taylor, Ivy, and Eldon, who sat at the end next to the window.
"Senior Taylor, as you requested, we went searching for other students. The department professor has already rescued some students, so it was easy to bring them over."
Taylor smiled and leaned closer to the black-haired boy who bowed his head, looking at the tiled floor.
He tapped him on the shoulder as the boy raised his head. "You did a good job, but why the worried look?"
The boy quickly looked back down and began stammering. "I’m sorry, senior Taylor, but, w-we couldn’t find Matthew Von Silver... Princess Frieren... or any of the higher-ranked students from any year."
Taylor frowned slightly. "I don’t think that’s a problem."
Beads of sweat appeared on the young man’s freckled face as he darted his gaze nervously. "Well, you see, when we returned, we saw an unusual guy dressed in the combat suit paying tribute to the fallen students."
The group exchanged nervous glances. The problems they had on their plates were already too much and they weren’t sure they could handle any more.
