Flora's POV:
After breakfast with Harry, I headed down to the training grounds for class.
Sylvia still didn't show up all morning.
I began to worry.
Sylvia was not the type to disappear for no reason, not unless something bad happened to her.
I tried ringing her phone, but there was no answer.
The class was already about to begin, but Sylvia was still nowhere to be found.
After some hesitation, I decided not to leave my phone in the cabinet and brought it to class instead.
Blair took attendance as part of the routine.
With a quick glance at the class, he frowned and asked, "Does anyone know where Sylvia and Warren
are?"
It was only then that I realized Warren was also missing.
I got even more worried for Sylvia.
"Anyone know about Sylvia's whereabouts?" Blair glanced at his phone and then turned to me.
"Do you know anything, Flora?"
"I...I don't..."
I staggered to my feet and stuttered.I wasn't comfortable letting everyone here know that Sylvia was
missing.
"Flora?"
Blair took a couple of steps closer, frowning.
Finally, I cleared my throat.
"Sylvia's sick."
"Sick? If she skips classes without telling me in advance, she will get deductions from her grades," Blair
said sternly.
All of a sudden, I felt my phone buzz.But I didn't dare take it out right now while Blair was still looking at
me.
While the class was warming up, I discreetly took out my phone and saw a message from Sylvia.My
instincts told me that she was in danger.I had to find her as soon as possible.
"What are you doing?"
Leaning over, Harry whispered to me.
"What happened to Sylvia? She was completely fine during the morning exercise."
"I'll tell you later."
I made a gesture telling him to keep silent.
Our actions attracted Blair's attention.
"The new equipment room is still being reconstructed.Any volunteer to go to the old equipment room in
the west wing to fetch the equipment?" Blair asked, looking at us.
I immediately raised my hand.
"Me! I can go alone!"
"Alone? You're too weak to even fight.How are you going to bring so much equipment on your own?"
One of the male students beside me laughed.
Rolling my eyes, I grabbed Harry's ear.
"Come."
"Hey! It hurts!"
Harry's face distorted in pain.
"What are you doing?" I let go of his ear.
"Come with me to the equipment room!"
Harry rubbed his red, swollen ear and pouted.
"No way! That's so tiring.You shouldn't be the one to do that either.Just let someone else do it!"
At this point, I was very impatient that I pinched his arm.
"Come on, you're a tall and muscular guy.How could you be tired from such a task? Are you a weakling?
Just go with me!"
Harry yelped with tears forming in his eyes.He was confused as to why I was hurting him.
I tried my best to give him a wink.
"Don't you want to go? The equipment's not that heavy.We can move it easily! Just the two of us, right?"
Harry rubbed his arm and looked at me in confusion.
"Come on, I'll go with you."
I softened my voice.
"You need to put those beautiful muscles to use!"
The praise instantly lifted Harry's mood.
He confidently placed his hands on his hips and nodded.
"You're right.I'll go with you to let you know my real strength."
"I'll come too."
A male student named Tom spoke up.
He ranked fifth in the placement test and was also the strongest werewolf in class.He had dark skin and
big muscles, covered in frighteningly large black totem tattoos.
I swallowed the lump in my throat.
"Oh.You don't… have to come.Harry's already coming with me."
He was the one who usually did such things as lifting and moving, but I didn't want him to do it today.
Without even looking at me, Tom grabbed my collar and flung me to the other side of the grounds as if I
weighed nothing.
He then walked up to Blair and scowled, "I said I'm coming too."
Blair gave us a cold look.He probably didn't expect this to come out of a simple request to move
equipment.
"Whatever.You decide amongst yourselves."
Blair immediately excluded himself from the matter.He crossed his arms and watched as a quarrel was
about to ensue.His words just seemed to imply that Tom would go with us either way.
Tom walked up to me and aggressively said, "Let's go."
"I said Harry and I are enough already." I waved my hand desperately.
"What did you just say?" Tom's deep voice warned.
"Nothing… I guess we'll all go together."
