Some Time later...

We eventually made it to the stadium. It's big, alright... Name checks out...

We waited at the nearest entrance from here. The time right now is 9:30 am. It was a long drive from school to here. They should be here any moment now.

"Syrra."

I saw Serra. She was the first to arrive here.

"You're pretty early!" I smile upon seeing her, it was a delight to see her here...

"I only came here because you assured that this professor is on our side..." Serra's unusually cautious today. Not to mention her usual dead expression is now replaced with a look of frustration...

"You have every right to doubt me, all I can say is that Alrose is the best pupil I had. I have no reason to betray him at all..." Sir C reassured Serra that things will be alright.

She stared at him with intimidating eyes, but he didn't feel scared at all... He just stood his ground.

"Hmm... I'm going home after this entire operation is done..." She stood beside me.

I looked at Serra, who is looking at the cloudy sky. She feels grumpier...

"Hey! Over here!" We then turned to Lisa, who is running her way here.

"You followed my advice, librarian-in-charge." Sir C gave Lisa a head pat.

"Hey, Sir C! I'm not your student, you know..." Despite that statement, Lisa just stood there and got patted. She just looked away, shyly.

"Everyone in Emerald Houston is considered a brother and sister of mine. Of course, there are some exceptions..." He mentioned that last part with such a serious look on his face. The only some I can think of were the 3 bullies from 4 years ago. I wonder if there is anyone else who Sir C brought to be expelled...

But that doesn't matter now.

"We're still waiting for Fey and it's almost 10 am..." We kept waiting for her at the gate.

But then time was running out, so I pulled out my phone and called her.

"Ah! Syrra-san! Where are you?! I've been here since 9:30 am!" Huh? Was she looking for us?

"Where are you actually, Fey? We've been waiting!" I was baffled. Did she go to the wrong place?

"At the KS Big Stadium, at the big door with a red frame! You?" Door with a red frame? I checked our door and...

Yep, she is at the wrong door... Good that she didn't end up at the wrong place, though...

"Fey, we're at the big door with a black frame. You're at the wrong entrance..." I giggled.

"EH?! GOMEN'NASAI!! (I'M SORRY!!)" She quickly hung up. I started laughing about Fey ending up at the wrong door.

She eventually arrived and we are all set.

"HAH... Yatta... (I made it...)" She surely had to run her way here.

"This is quite something I didn't see coming... Shall we go in? A big event is going to happen for all of us." We nodded at Sir C as we all entered the stadium together. The interior was huge. There were many seats.
