Chapter 169 Lost Contact


    Flora''s POV:


    After breakfast with Harry, I headed down to the training grounds for ss.


    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 ss 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 cab and brought it to ss instead.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    ir took attendance as part of the routine. With a quick nce at the ss, 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?" ir nced 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''tfortable letting everyone here know


    that Sylvia was missing.


    "Flora?" ir took a couple of steps closer, frowning.


    Finally, I cleared my throat. "Sylvia''s sick."


    "Sick? If she skips sses without telling me in advance, she will get deductions from her grades,"


    ir said sternly.


    All of a sudden, I felt my phone buzz. But I didn''t dare take it out right now while ir was still


    looking at me.


    While the ss 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 youter." I made a gesture telling him to keep


    silent. Our actions attracted ir''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?" ir


    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 meughed.


    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 muscr 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 ced his hands on his hips and nodded.


    "You''re right. I''ll go with you to let you know my real strength."


    "I''lle too." A male student named Tom spoke up. He ranked fifth in the cement test and was


    also the strongest werewolf in ss. He had dark skin and big muscles, covered in frighteningly


    large ck totem tattoos.


    I swallowed the lump in my throat. "Oh. You don''t... have toe. Harry''s alreadying 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 cor and flung me to the other side of the grounds


    as if I weighed nothing. He then walked up to ir and scowled, "I said I''ming too." ir gave


    us a cold look. He probably didn''t expect this toe out of a simple request to move equipment.


    "Whatever. You decide amongst yourselves." ir 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." I tried everything I could, but I was left with no choice.
