"YAW-YAN!"
Hearing Minona's terrified cried, all the students who got dazed by earth shaking shout that just came out of nowhere, look the direction of Minona confusingly , the girl is on the side of the ark, gripping the railing with intense pressure while ooking down on something below, her face pale as sheet, her eyes widened in fears and tears is rolling down in her cheeks., she's desperately calling for someone outside the Lincad ark.
"Miss Highergard calm yourself down! you can't just jump from this height were in, if you do you're gonna die even before you reach the brat, he's doing this for you, if something bad we're to happen to you, then all his struggle of protecting you Is for naught"
"YAW-YAN!" vice principal Oscord had to hold the weeping girl beside him, he need to make sure she wouldn't just throw her self to the ark and get her self killed in the process. The brat is doing something stupid.
but stupid as it is vice principal Oscord is shamelessly admit to himself that they needed the brat help, his distraction is enough in order for the Lincad art to escape the clutches of the moutain sized beast, all he can do now is to make sure that tha brat sacrifice wouldn't be in vain by keeping his friends safe.
"YAW-YAN!"
"Oh god, not again!"
"YAW-YAN BRO!!"
"ANYONE KEEP AN EYE TO THOSE THREE, MAKE SURE THEY DON'T JUMP OFF THE ARK!" Hearing Amika, Suina and Ayato cride out in panic and rush to the railing of the ark, vice principal Oscord immediately bark an order to his subordinate to kept those three from doing something reckless, several older looking students jump and got hold of the three stoping them from going farther.
Sound of several snapping noise reverberate from everyone's ears this follow by a sudden shaking and jolting of the Lincad ark.
"Sir! The mana bindings holding the Ark are disappearing one by one! At this rate, we might be able to sail to safety"
Oscord nod to the captain after hearing its report. Relieved to hear that there's atleast one good things that going on among this pandemonium, and shifted his gaze to the land below, he gritted his teeth when he see what's going on, the Silao grande that moment ago is set on to destroy him and the lincad ark in any means, just turn its back to them and focus all its attention to Yaw-yan,
"V-vice principal, P-please save Yaw-yan" Oscord look at Minona, the young lady is in tears, her entire body is trembling uncontrollably watching the scene on the ground.
She didn't even look at the vice principal when she asked him to save her friend, her attention is solely on the boy on the top of tree.
"I" Oscord hesitated he knew that what he's about to say to the girl will absolutely crash any hope she has "I can't" Minona teared face shift to stare at Oscord, the vice principal can clearly see the look of sadness, betrayal, and anger in his students tear filled eyes.
Oscord sigh "I can't abandoned the ark, Ms Highergard, not with the state its in right now, with the height where at right now, if I jump off now, I won't be able to fly my way back to the ark. Leaving the Lincad ark vulnerable on any treat out there in endless flow, !the ark by extension everyone boarded here needed me to escort everyone back to the capital, And no, I won't be able to defeat that giant beast even if I stay and fight it, I'm sorry Ms Highergard, if this is cruel for me to say, but the only way for us to survive this ordeal is too let the things play out. and take the opening your friend gave us"
SLAP
all the students around Oscord and Minona look at the duo in disbelief, A student just slap the vice principal Infront of everyone, and that student is Minona Highergard, the same student who has a reputation that widely known in Lincad Academy as stoic beauty, soft-spoken, respectful and Diligent she also known as a student to always uphold the rules to a T.
So it not a surprise when every students who just witness Minona Highergard slap their Vice principal out of nowhere.
The older students step forward to try to apprehend Minona,. Only for Vice Principal Oscord to stop them by lifting his hand to Thier direction.
"That's my friend" Minona muttered angrily her eyes furrowing in frustration " and you're leaving him to his death and because his dire situation it a convenient you"
Oscord couldn't fault the girl for her action,not only Oscord is abandoning the boy to his fate, and actually trying to use Yaw-yan upcoming demise to their advantage,
He's about to say something when another earth shaken shout echoes on the entirety of manaland.
"MINONA! I'M NOT GIVING UP! I'll KEEP OUR PROMISES TO EACH OTHER!"
Heariy Yaw-yan boice Minona ignore evething and run toward the railing to see the boy,
