The Blue Fire

Racing Against Time

Bever hasn't stopped pacing back and forth in the teacher's office, while Yin and Prom sitting in the corner, their faces are tense. How could they not feel tense when their boyfriends are being held hostage.

The teachers are trying to find the best solution. The university have sent a professional team to search the forest and if by 10 pm nothing hasn't been found then the rest will join the search, including Bever, Yin and Prom. The university initially only ask for Yin to cooperate, if what the villain wants is revenge then Yin needs to tag along. Bever and Prom insisted to join for an obvious reason.

So far, no one outside class A knows about the incident and they'll try to keep it that way to avoid causing panic.

"Still nothing from the search team?", their Dean says as he glances to the clock on the wall.

8.30 pm. Less than 4 hours left before midnight.

"Nothing sir, they're getting close to the edge so we might hear from them soon"

"Miss. Prim, how's your end?", he turns his attention to another teacher.

Miss. Prim has a space awareness quirk. She can search a wide perimeter with her sense. She also can leave a strand of her hair somewhere and it'll work as a quirk extenders. So even when she's far away she can search the perimeter where her hair is. That's why she gave three strands of her hair to the search team.

Miss Prim is quiet for a while, she needs to focus on the task. As the search team put her final hair strand she gets a new information of the perimeter. She suddenly opens her eyes and they finally get an answer.

"Near the foot of the mountain, an abandoned hut, no, an abandoned grain mill. there are 4, no, 5 people inside", Prom and Yin who were sitting are now standing up.

"Minus the three hostages, there should be two villains. Yoshi and another one with the black clouds quirk", Mr. Lee said. He then turns to the three hero course students.

"I understand that they are your loved ones, but don't take careless action and stay within the pro-heroes radar. Especially you Yin"

Yin understand what Mr. Lee implies because he is the target of the villain's revenge. "Yes sir"

With a short briefing from the Dean and the university's rector, Mr. Lee and Mr. Tee take Bever, Yin and Prom to join the other Pro – heroes heading to the location in a rescue mission

This is going to be a long night.

09.00 pm

The trees are clearing out when they're closing the distance to the mill, the closer they are the the more alert they've become. The plan is actually quite risky and the teachers didn't approve at first but this is their best option and they know these three hero course students are the best in their university. First they will let the students in while they try to approach quietly. As both villains possess dangerous quirk, their priority is to make sure the hostages are safe first then pro – heroes will take care of the rest.

Less then a mile later, they finally see the mill, it's clear that it's abandoned since it's been covered with rust and wild bush. Pratudam, one of the pro – heroes with wrap gate quirk who lead the mission signals them all to stop behind the bush.

"Alright, you three", he addresses Bever, Yin and Prom, "Remember what we've planned, don't be careless, your first priority is to make sure hostages are safe, we'll take care of the rest, got it?"

They all nod. Pratudam then look out for the situation one more time and gives them nods to continue. The three of them carefully approach the door, Prom then push them open. It's completely dark inside and very dusty. Yin lit a little fire on his palm, the blue light illuminated the room and Bever nods as a way of saying thanks.
