"Should we go back to look for them?" Maria asked the two.

"Nah, it is alright. They will come back up eventually if they can't find you." Benji said as he walked back to his dormitory.

"Yeah, let's go back to the dormitory. I am really tired, and we have a match tomorrow." Elise said as she went towards her dormitory as well.

"Eh? What if they don't come back up?" Maria asked her.

"They'll come back up and ask Sylvie or something to help search. So they'll be up here anyway." Elise said as Maria followed her from behind.

"Oh…" Maria said as she quickly caught up to Elise as she was walking at a slow pace.

'Ugh, I still want to ask her why she killed the man… He didn't deserve to be killed.' Maria thought inside her head as she forced herself to shake her head and erase those thoughts.

'She must have her reasons surely,' Maria thought as she kept the question hidden in her heart.

"What are those looks for Maria?" Elise turned around as she asked her. Due to her keen senses and instincts, she could tell Maria wanted to say something to her right now.

"N-nothing at all!" Maria said as she shook her hand and her hands to indicate she wanted nothing.

"Alright then? Just make sure you tell me if you really need anything," Elise said as she turned back and kept on walking.

"Yes…" Maria said as she had a downcast expression on her face. She just walked along with Maria until they both got to the dormitory.

…

"Okay, where is she? Literally? We have searched every crook and nanny of this place. There is no possible way we could've missed her," Chad said as he looked at the group.

"Probably kidnapped or something. This is the Underground World after all," Sam said.

"Let's go find Sylvie then, only she can really solve this problem of ours with her magic powers," Lance said as he scratched his head.

"Nya, let's go back. It's dark out, I wanna sleep nya," Maal said as she yawned.

"Alright, nothing will really happen Maria. Do you not remember her water ball's strength?" Lance said as they all went towards the entrance.

"Oh right, so she'll live for a while more," Chad said.

"Let's go back. We'll look for Sylvie tomorrow morning." Sam said.

"Yeah, I am really sleepy. Maal looks like she is about to drop dead," Lance said.

"Alright then," The entire group said as they went to their dormitory.

…

"Oh, you're all back. That's great," Benji said when he saw the boys come back.

"What do you mean that's great?" Chad asked him with confusion.

"We found Maria, she was waiting at the entrance the entire time. Haha, you all sure took a long time." Benji said as he laughed as he sat down on his bed.

"... You're joking right?" Chad said as he looked at Benji.

"No joke, we'll see tomorrow during the tournament," Benji said as he laid on his bed and went to sleep.
