Third Person's pov

🌹🌹🌹

"Let's see, maybe if I told her I failed to find their Dean, she'd believe me?" Daybreak sighed and scratched her head. She should've thought about this sooner. She was sure she'd think of something on the spot but looking at her now, it seems like her confidence didn't help her.

"How about I just want to see her and make sure she's fine?"

'That can be a good reason, right?' She thought with a groan.

"Seeing as to you are not doing anything, nor I see your eyes panicking, I take it you lied to me?"

Daybreak jumped in surprise but quickly composed herself. "Well, not exactly. I couldn't find a formidable enemy, and you know how stressing that is." Eunbi stayed emotionless, her eyes unwavering and observing. "Don't you stare at me like that," Daybreak warned in slight fear.

'She can't see through me, can she?'

"Right, now I can see you're stressed." Eunbi nodded, which made Daybreak sigh in relief. "They have ten mage saints. Why not find one of them?"

"See, it's not that easy. The others are stationed in the central. The lightning and water boy are together fighting our overwhelming numbers. One executive will be coming into their direction any time now. And then, that plant guy is with Twilight, Yerin is carrying that Sowon to the central city, and Jisung is already in the-"

"He has arrived?"

"Yes, he has. Now, how about we stroll around? Help me find at least a general." Daybreak linked her arms onto Eunbi's, and as Eunbi rolled her eyes and clicked her tongue, Daybreak kept her left hand, hid it behind her back, and snapped her fingers.

She smiled.

'pain'

"AHHHHH!!"

There was a very faint voice screaming for help, and it was almost inaudible, but it made Eunbi stop her tracks abruptly.

"W- What was that?" Daybreak asked with her wide eyes as her hand gripped Eunbi's arms tighter. All she needs right now is to act carefully and make Eunbi believe she's innocent. "Maybe the torture room? But who would possibly torture someone so freely in the middle of this war?"

"Think, it's just the same as you wanting to stroll around when thousands are dying."

Daybreak clicked her tongue and released Eunbi. "Should we check it out?" She asked.

"No, I only felt something strange, but I can't quite trust anything so easily right now. It must be a trap made to-"

snap.

'pain'

"HELP ME! SOMEBODY H- HELP-!"

"That's right, scream."

Like an electric shock flowed through her whole body in a millisecond, Eunbi held the edge of her cloak and wrapped it around her. "On another note, stroll around alone. There are two generals in the south. They can at least fill your boredom." She said before disappearing.

Daybreak's stressed look immediately turned into a dull expression. She knew what she did, and everything is smoothly progressing. Eunha just needs to feel the pain to increase the possibility of Eunbi coming to her. Yuta must've said those three words to make it look more like the girl is in trouble.

Truth to be told, she is in trouble.

"Well, might as well run now," Daybreak smirked and disappeared as well.
