After speaking with Alia, Mia felt relieved, and knowing that Alia was at Sanctum Aurea eased her worries.
However, she was still skeptical of the person who saved Alia. But she believes that he could not do anything to Alia as The Church has many strong people.
But then a few days later, another shocking video had her worrying about her endless.
She had been going through TwitFlick in her free ti and she ca across one short clip. It seems that the clip was gaining popularity rapidly.
It was a short clip of Dark Explosion that seed to have been caught on cara and shared by the owner on TwitFlick.
What concerned her even before the video began was that the location of the Dark Explosion was Sanctum Aurea, where Alia was residing. The video thumbnail depicted a destroyed cathedral and its surroundings.
"What? Is it Sanctum Aurea?"
Mia was taken aback when she saw the thumbnail of the video. Having visited Sanctum Aurea nurous tis, she could not mistake the place for any other. She scrutinized the image closely to confirm its location.
"Yes, this is indeed Sanctum Aurea. Don't tell sothing happened to Alia!"
Mia thought to herself.
She was certain that the video that had been trending on TwitFlick was shot at Sanctum Aurea. And the first thing on her mind was Alia who was staying there.
She clicked on the video, hoping that it wasn't actually Sanctum Aurea, or that she had made a mistake. Anyway, she believed that she would know more after watching the video.
The clip began with breathtaking shots of the forest and surrounding nature. It appeared to have been fild using a drone, or possibly by soone who could fly and record from above.
As the footage progressed, it captured a massive dark explosion, and the cara changed direction to investigate.
Mia was utterly shocked by the next scene in the video she watched. She was certain that not only was the location Sanctum Aurea, but it also involved her friend.
Although the attack seed sowhat familiar to her, she did not focus on that as she was mainly concerned about Alia.
In the scene, Mia could vaguely make out a figure that looked like Alia. Although the video was shot from a great distance and was not very clear, Mia was able to recognize her friend.
The people in the video were unrecognizable to most people. It was very difficult to notice them unless one had sharp eyes.
However, Mia was fairly certain that the girl standing beside the person who seed to have caused the attack was Alia.
Mia continued to watch the video which depicted the devastation caused by a dark explosion. The once recognizable cathedral was now reduced to rubble, and the surrounding area was unrecognizable, as though it had been hit by a teor.
But the most shocking scene of all was next, the video vaguely showed people who might have been responsible for that attack.
"WHAT?"
Suddenly, Mia's reaction to the video caused her to almost break her phone. In the subsequent scene, the perpetrator responsible for the attack was shown, although not clearly. However, Mia imdiately recognized him.
"Zero! What is he doing there?"
Mia exclaid.
Mia was certain that the person was Zero. She had already seen his real face, so there was no doubt. Moreover, she was familiar with the attack he used, though the scale of the attack seed much larger than what she had previously witnessed.
The video concluded with a blurry image of the location. It appeared that whatever drone or device the perpetrator had used was destroyed or had stopped functioning.
"..."
Mia Frostine stood there lost in deep thought. She quickly pieced together the situation and realized what Alia ant when she said that the person could be trusted. She was confident because the individual who had saved her was Zero.
Finding Zero would have been good news, but given the current situation that appeared to be quite dire, Mia's concerns were multiplied. She was not only worried about Alia but now also about Zero.
Observing the circumstances, Mia was certain that they were engaged in a battle with an extrely powerful opponent. Otherwise, she knew that Zero would not have been compelled to use his Dark Energy.
-RING! -RING!
Mia promptly dialed Alia's number in an attempt to reach her but received a ssage indicating that the number was out of range. Despite trying multiple tis, she was unable to establish contact with Alia and eventually gave up.
In addition, she tried to get in touch with Zero by calling his previous number, hoping he still had it. However, she received the sa ssage indicating that his number was also out of range.
"How aggravating!"
Mia muttered to herself. The situation was not looking good and she couldn't contact the people that she is worried about.
-WHOOSH!
She decided that she would need to go to Sanctum Aurea imdiately. She didn't waste any ti and imdiately set out for Sanctum Aurea.
She was quite fast but it would take her days before she reached the place. She just prayed that Zero and Alia would be alright.
After days of running, she finally arrived at Sanctum Aurea. Upon surveying the area, she observed that despite the signs of destruction, people were not in chaos and were working together to rebuild the place, indicating that things were returning to normal.
However, her concerns remained unabated, prompting her to quickly proceed to the location.
Perhaps due to the long period of running, she lost control of her strength, leading to a forceful landing that created a shockwave upon impact.
-BANG!
With a loud noise, Mia landed ungracefully, causing a disturbance. She felt embarrassed and regretful that she had been unable to control her landing, resulting in a ss.
Unable to articulate her predicant, Mia was grateful when Alia and Zero suddenly arrived on the scene.
Approaching them anxiously, she inquired, "Zero! Alia! Is everything all right?"
Her tone was one of deep concern, evident even amidst her disheveled appearance, indicating the effort she had made to reach them.
"Mia!"
Alia exclaid in surprise. Both Alia and Zero were taken aback by Mia's sudden appearance. Alia had not expected her to arrive so quickly.
Saintess Alia thought that Mia was there because of their call a few days back. She had no idea about the video circulating on TwitFlick. She had been busy helping others and rebuilding the church and had no ti to pay attention to other things.
Mia and Alia hugged each other. Mia seed relieved to see Alia was okay. Then she looked at Zero who was wearing a mask.
Despite what he did, it seems that Zero couldn't hide his identity from Professor Mia. Even though Zero had a mask, it was not a big deal for Mia to recognize him as she already knew that he was there.
Zero felt a pang of unease in his chest as he saw Mia's gaze rest on him. He had hoped to keep his identity hidden from her. But it seed that Mia was too perceptive for that. She already called his na as well, so there was no doubt that she knew it was him.
"Professor Mia, it's good to see you!"
Zero said, trying to sound as calm as possible.
Mia looked at him for a mont, her expression inscrutable. Then she nodded as if coming to a decision.
"Nice to see you too! I hope you don't run away again."
Mia's words were charged with playful sarcasm, her intention entirely lighthearted.
Zero smiled wryly at Mia's remark. He knew he had caused her a lot of worry when he disappeared without explaining anything.
"I'm sorry about that, Professor Mia," he said, keeping his tone light. "I assure you that I will not go anywhere, at least for now!"
Mia nodded, a small smile playing at the corners of her lips.
"Good to hear that! I hope that you are able to keep these words later!"
Mia said she was planning sothing.
- GLUP!
Zero couldn't help but gulp nervously as Mia's playful threat hung in the air. Even after getting stronger, he still rembers those difficult training sessions that he had with Professor Mia.
He would almost always get his ass whooped by her. Even if he could resist now, it seems that ntally he was scared.
But despite the underlying sense of unease, Zero couldn't help but smile at Mia's words. It had been two years since the last ti they had a conversation like this. Previously, he was tight on ti, so he couldn't talk much.
But this ti it was different.
Alia glanced at the two of them.
( Look! How exactly is this the expression of a normal teacher and student? )
Alia thought to herself.
"Mia, what brings you here? Is everything alright?"
Alia asked, initially thinking that Mia ca because of a previous incident, but she changed her mind after observing Mia's deanor.
