Zero was lying on his bed when Toga opened the door.
Toga crossed his arms. "Hey, Zero. I've come to see you after a long time and what do I find? You've leisurely shut yourself in your room again...you stupid disciple."
Zero scoffed. "It has nothing to do with you."
Headmaster Cross entered the room. "Zero isn't in the mood to be teased. Many things have happened...please understand."
"Headmaster, did you know that Yuki was a Pureblood vampire?" Zero glared at him.
"Zero, don't get angry!" Headmaster Cross hid behind Toga. "You should know that there are some things we can't just talk about."
Toga wrinkled his nose. "Zero, whose blood did you drink? There is an ominous presence mixed in with yours."
Zero sighed. "What did you come here for, Teacher? To give me a lecture?"
"There was another Pureblood who went missing besides Shizuka Hio. I planned to stop here before I continued my search, but I received another order from the Hunter Association President." Toga met Zero's gaze. "I have to detain you, Zero."
Afterwards, Toga led Zero underneath the academy.
"This academy used to be the headquarters of the Hunter Association, and this underground prison was used to imprison vampires." Toga explained.
Zero walked into an opened cell.
"You could have resisted a little...you're too reasonable." Toga remarked.
Zero sat down and leaned against the wall.
"You're ignoring me now, huh." Toga frowned. "Sit still until we figure out what is going on. This is for your sake."
Toga placed Bloody Rose on the floor inside Zero's cell. "I'll leave your gun here."
Then, Toga left Zero alone.

Kaname walked down the hallway of the Moon Dormitory. He paused when he saw Seiren approached him.
"Seiren, dawn is coming. Have the Night Class students who can move during the day guard the Sun Dormitory, and don't let the Day Class students outside."
"Yes, my lord." Seiren said.
"In the current circumstances, anything can happen. Do not lower your guard." Kaname added.
"Understood." Seiren said before she disappeared down the hall.
"Lord Kaname..."
Kaname turned around when he heard Ruka's voice. "Why do you look so apologetic?"
"I was a fool who didn't know how to deal with my emotions. I will go to the Sun Dorm and be truly useful now." Ruka turned around to leave.
"I'm sorry, Ruka." Kaname said.
"Please, do not apologize." Ruka mumbled.
"Then, I'll say something cruel...I trust you, Ruka." Kaname added.
"Thank you." Ruka smiled. "I'll go help Seiren to gather the others."
After Ruka left, Kaname entered Takuma and Senri's room.
Ichiru stepped forward with a sheathed sword in his hand. "This is Lord Rido's temporary residence. Why did you come here?"
"Ichiru, will you open the coffin lid for me?" Kaname took a step forward. "You may disobey me if you wish."
