Fall of NRC!?

The Second and Third Stones

The next day, after some encouragement from her fellow group members, Helena was ready to take the second stone, the Yellow Night Stone.

According to the information given, the Yellow Stone was located in Savanaclaw, although the gang had no idea about the exact location.

As Helena had no class during the morning, she remained in the dorm, secretly bringing Sara and Jonathan along with her.

"I will search around the outdoors," suggested Helena. "What about you guys?"

"I'll search through the rooms," said Sara.

"I'll search the lounge and the rest of the indoor areas," replied Jonathan.

"Good. We shall keep in touch. Tell me when either one of you found it," said Helena, giving Jonathan and Sara each a walkie-talkie. "But most importantly, retreat immediately if you sense someone's presence. Try to avoid any unnecessary violence, or we'll cause too much drama again."

"True. If the students panic again, the staff members will definitely strengthen the policies, and that will hinder our mission," said Jonathan.

"I agree," said Sara.

The three then set off to look for the stone.

Helena started off by searching the stadium. Since she had been there last time, she was familiar with it.

"I remember sitting on father's lap and watching magical shift tournaments together back when I was a child," she thought. "Those times were great..."

After an hour, she found nothing.

"I'll search around the trees and rocks," mumbled Helena.

She walked towards a tree and saw something shiny.

"That must be the stone!" she thought. She then proceeded to climb the tree and stopped on a thick branch, where she saw the shine.

"I must get it and shoo off before anyone else notice me again!" She than reached out her left hand, grabbed the object tightly and quickly pulled it towards herself. Much to her shock, it wasn't the Yellow Night Stone.

It was a pair of dark grey binoculars.

"Woah, Mademoiselle! For crying out loud, you nearly scared me half to death!" said a familiar voice.

Helena immediately sighed and face-palmed.

That's right. It's Rook "Bob-cut" Hunt, sitting on the very same branch with a camera on his right hand.

"'For crying out loud', that's my line!" said Helena in a angry, yet soft voice. "Also, do you want me to strangle you? I did tell you not to call me that!"

"Je suis désolé, Helena. But it's my duty to always be respectful towards beautiful girls like you!" said Rook, attempting to give Helena a hug.

"Keep your dirty hands to yourself," said Helena coldy while slapping his hands. She then looked at the binoculars, and the camera that Rook was holding.

"Don't tell me you're stalking people again."

"Non non! I'm appreciating the beauty of the people in this school! You see, there's Roi du Leon!" he said as he pointed down at Leona, who was sleeping the by a rock. He then took a photo of him.

"You...take pictures of the people you stalk too?" asked Helena.

"Again, I'm not stalking people. And yes, photography is a hobby of mine. Would you like me to take a picture of you too?"

"Hell no!" yelled Helena. She then threw the binoculars at Rook, which hit his nose.

"I've got better things to do rather than taking stupid photos with you. Now leave me alone, OR I WILL KILL YOU!" She then jumped down to the ground and ran off.
