Both Xue and Cecil arrived at the entrance of the sword mound expedition at the same time, none of them spotting each other. Eri and the healer had already scattered to help around.
They would then soon realise they weren't even needed there.
The area was filled to the brim with students scuttling about, and the teachers in charge of the expedition were nowhere to be found.
Xue and Cecol ran to the gate, which had more students streaming out, both of them wearing anxious looks on their faces.
"Hana!"
They called at the same time, pausing when they realised they were standing next one another.
"Xue!"
"Cecil."
"Are you looking for Hana too?"
Xue nodded.
"I'm here!" Hana chirped, appearing in front of them.
Cecil was startled by Hana's sudden appearance, clutching at her chest.
"I heard the two of you calling for me!" Hana beamed, before noticing their weird expressions. "What's wrong?"
