It had stopped raining a while ago.Neige was back to normal,and people were about to go back inside the Coliseum.

Only for them to stumble back and cough from the poisonous mist that still lingered in the air.

A few NRC students like the great Malleus Draconia were able to head inside with no worry.However,[Y/N] noticed a few people that weren't here.

How could they possibly know if everyone was here or not?simple,Ace wasn't anywhere near sight or annoying Deuce.

In fact,Deuce was also not there.

They had notice them before in the crowd of the audience during Neige's performance a while ago.But they somehow couldn't find them anywhere after it started raining.

"[Y/N]-san,is something wrong?"

A familiar someone walked up to the individual that kept looking around strangely,seemingly looking for someone.

"Ah,have you seen Ace or Deuce..?I haven't seen them ever since your...uhm...performance."

The young man could only raise his eyebrow at you.But come to think of it,he hasn't seen those two again after it started and stopped raining.

And call him crazy if you would,but he did hear someone yelling back inside the coliseum stage when they were waiting inside the bus.And the voice sounded similar to Deuce Spade.

"...No"

He could only shake his head.He really couldn't say he just heard Deuce yell from inside the Coliseum while it was raining.

Because that would be suspicious and it might encourage [Y/N] to run inside the Coliseum in worry for their friend.

And if they do that with the deadly mist still hanging in the air?it might cause some damage to their respiratory system.

And Neige doesn't want that now does he?

"I see.."

The [H/C] head nodded at him,before waving and waking away to find the missing NRC students else where.

Neige waved a temporary goodbye to them as well.Turning around to walk in a different direction.

He was walking around the crowd of the confused and anxious people outside the Coliseum now.But why did he feel as if he was walking in circles?

And why did he keep getting a glimpse of the familiar [Y/H] person when he knew damn well they went in opposite directions.

Meanwhile,the [Y/G] individual was minding their own business,messing around with their phone.They had the sudden urge to take random multiple pictures.

And of what you may ask?

Well literally anything they find interesting.

They so far had many pictures and selfies with their classmates,and some even of their teachers and seniors.

Until they were just moving around their phone,finding something to take a picture of.They weren't sure on how their phone storage was still alive and it wasn't telling them it was full but oh well.

The phone's camera stopped at someone with jet black hair.Hair and clothes oh so familiar.They squinted their eyes at the person,up until they realized it was just Neige.

Wait.Didn't they go opposite directions?how is he suddenly so near them again?

Whatever.Must just be a coincidence.

I mean,it isn't impossible for someone to get lost in the crowds easily and go in circles.

Thoughts were interrupted by the realization Epel,Vil,Rook,Jamil,Kamil,Yuu,and Grimm was also not there.

It was kind of hard to miss them from their......behaviors,voices, and appearances,especially Grimm.Who is a literal floating cat with blue flames on his ears.

They put their phone away,and started to wander around outside the Coliseum in hopes of finding the 10 absent students.

Anxiety building up inside them when they can't find a single trace of their dear friends.They started walking faster,a few sparing them a glance of suspicion and confusion.

Turning their head while walking fast,...might not have been a good idea...They bumped into several people,apologizing as some let them go while others got annoyed at them.

But no,that didn't stop their motivation or worry for their friends.In fact,they started walking even faster.

What a fatal mistake

They just blinked for one second.One.And they bumped into another person,but they didn't just stumble like the others.They fell to the ground with a loud 'THUMP'.

Some students looked at them weirdly before continuing to mind their own business.

The [H/C] haired individual rubbed the side of their head.Them and the other person sat up right.Before they could even take a look of them,their voice confirmed who they were.

"[Y/N]-san?oh I'm so sorry- here let me help you up."

Neige.He stood up and offered the one still sitting on the floor a helping hand.They looked up to him,remembering the first time they ever met.In the woods,before class.

And how they declined his offer of help before.

So this time,they took his hand and he pulled them back to their feet.He flashed them a gentle,sweet smile with his eyes closed.

All the other individual could do was smile back at him.Their sight travelled down to their hands that were still interlocked with each other.

"Have you found your friends yet?"

His question caused [Y/N] to look back straight at him.

"huh?- oh- no,not yet.."

They kept looking away as they couldn't maintain direct eye contact.

"Is that so?Do you need any help finding them?"

He questioned.They didn't know why and how but they felt so nice and special when he offered them assistance again.

Was it because Neige was a celebrity and it felt good to be helped out by a celebrity?no,..they don't care about Neige's fame and status...but why did they feel their heart flutter?

"Hey?- [Y/N]-san? is something the matter?"

Oh no,it seemed that Neige noticed you spacing out while smiling and staring at him.How embarrassing,..It almost reminded you of how he zoned out during your first meeting.

"ah?- uh- sorry its nothing,.."

Scratching the side of their head as they sweat dropped. 'Well that was embarrassing and weird...' they thought to themselves,refusing eye contact even more now.

"So,do you need any help on finding them?"

He repeated his question.To which the other person replied to right as he asked.

"Yes- I mean,sure..-"

Neige grabbed their wrist,not too tight,but also not too loose that they could get away.

He giggled as their cheeks flushes a tint of pink,tensing up as well.

With that being said,he dragged you along the crowds,starting the searching for them.Searching for your friends.
