Another reason that she wanted to fight Rose was due to her fear of blood, and since she knew that rose could control blood, she wanted to fight her and slowly get used to seeing blood all the ti without having any mind-crippling flashbacks in the middle of the fight.
"I'm sure she is fine" June chid in, also seemingly unworried and in reality, being the least worried person in the room.
"How do you know that?" Rose spoke from where she stood, not bothering to glance back at June when speaking to her.
"Like what Guildmaster Yuri said, a lot of people go in and not co out for days. It would be a normal occurrence for soone of her power to go into solitary cultivation for maybe even a month straight." June shrugged and took out her communication crystal.
"Yes, but the guildhall contacted today about her overstaying her visit... She had only paid for 2 days and yet she is spending more than that, aning she was not planning on staying for a long ti which increases the chance that sothing had happened to her." Rose retorted this ti a little malice laced in her words causing June to shudder.
Throughout all of this, Olivia only looked towards the girls with a wry smile. She was worried but the fact that she had a connection with helped her overco most of that. The only thing that she knew was that I had gone into to room to absorb all the cultivation manuals. It was also the reason why whenever she tried to establish a ntal connection with , she would either get repelled, violently repelled, or in that one ti, she was finally able to connect, a mind-shaking amount of information.
"Let's leave her for a few days, I'll try to pay for her overstaying and she can pay back when she cos out" Olivia waved their words off dismissively.
Currently, Olivia was wearing a mask due to the presence of June, but even when June wasn't in the room, no one could see any traces of worry in Olivia's face, as if she knew exactly how I was doing at all tis without having to look by going there.
At the sa ti, Yuri had concluded that Olivia was really good at masking her emotions, making her a little bit more wary of Olivia since they were both in the sa guild after all. If she could mask her emotions here, it ant that she would be able to do it when they are speaking about funds or even guild activities.
Being wary was a simple asure that Yuri had put in place so Olivia does not scam them in the future, and after seeing how unfazed she was and how unlikely it would be for both Olivia and to have a link that would tell us how we are both doing, she concluded that Olivia would be a very good manipulator since she could easily fake an emotion.
"Don't worry about the pay. I already paid for it and it really isn't that much in the first place" Rose shrugged, but for so reason, she still did not look towards them again after the first ti.
After that little interaction, however, everyone sat there in silence, the tension and awkwardness growing once again, causing them all except Rose, to take out their communication crystals, that they had installed all the images they had captured with their capture crystals, within.
All of them began to either look through captures(photos) or in June's case, they began to write to soone through the ssaging feature that the newest crystals now have.

On the outside of the guildhall, one could see the sa 4 ladies that were sitting around on either side of the room back in Rose's apartnt standing in front of the guildhall, all of them looking at it with narrowed eyes as if sothing or soone inside had stolen their husbands.
"Maybe we can wait an extra day?" Olivia tried to reason, yet her words landed on deaf ears.
"I'm going in" Rose finally spoke, this ti taking a step forwards simultaneous to her voice reaching the ears of the girls beside her. The mont the sole of her foot touched the floor, it cracked and her figure disappeared, appearing again in front of the sleeping lady in reception.
After the lady felt a gust of wind hit her, she opened her eyes in a state of panic before looking around and finally locking eyes with Rose who was sending out a murderous aura.
"I've never seen her this riled up about anything but mass killings, but those aside, nothing else" Yuri had an uneasy expression on her face as she looked at the back of Rose
"M-Miss- I an, Guildmaster! Is anything the matter?" The woman in the reception got up from her chair and slapped the sleepiness away from her face before speaking to Rose with a worried smile on her face. She also made sure to keep a little hunched down, just enough o keep at eye level with Rose who was a little shorter than her.
"I want to know-" Before Rose could finish speaking, the mana in the area began to fluctuate before halting completely
"What was that?" She looked around warily causing other people to look around to see if they could find what she was looking for, yet, they did not find anything.
"Is anything the matter, Guildmaster?" The woman asked Rose in a worried tone
"Hmm... I don't know if I imagine it or-" In the next instant, all those sa mana particles began to shoot in a single direction, as if they were humans flocking for a treasure, or sheep flocking for hay or grass to eat.
In the next mont, however, all the mana in the area had disappeared, and for those that were focusing on my mana signature, they widened their eyes as they say that I had also disappeared.

Dozens of miles away in a desolate mountain 'stood' a figure clad in shadows alongside another figure that was sitting in the lotus position.
The mountain had been desolate and empty before this, however, the mont that the two of them appeared, the seemingly desolate empty place began to be filled to the brim with sothing unexpected.
"Divine beings surely do like to make a spectacle when breaking through," A voice said before letting out an audible sigh.
