A Sudden Attack

The four students stared at Eluard's departing figure, speechless of the information that he announced about Emi's sister, Akane.

Emi blankly stood in place. She was in disbelief that her big sister remained alive after everything that has happened.

Jinmu and Lucan staggered to look in her direction. Not only did their shock come from news of Akane, but the fact that Eluard confirmed their assumption that it was the Siegfried Clan who came after Emi's village and destroyed it.

Jinmu was horrified and could feel his body shivering at the thought.

'This is too shocking of a revelation! I hope Emi won't lose herself after this!', he hoped in his heart. 

However, the next scene went differently than he expected. 

Emi regained control of herself and slowly clenched her small fists. Her heart was both nervous and beaming in joy. She closed her eyes and cried.

"Big sis is alive… big sis is alive…"
