"The fallen are forgotten because only the survivors are credited."

"Shutting down...it...it seems unnecessary if I'm being honest," Matt said to the three. Seto crossed his arms as Tom spoke.

"What do you suggest then?" Tom asked Matt. Matt looked at them, he smiled a bit, excited. When decisions like these need to be made, he is normally always left out of it.

"I m-mean, we could make the curfew earlier for the students living on campus. Put the Professors on high alert. Just shutting down the academy seems unreasonable at the moment." Matt said. Seto bit his bottom lip back a bit, he looked at Tom.

"It's up to you, I'm not a Headmaster, you guys are in charge of the school," Seto said putting his hands up a bit. Tom stared at him for a few moments and nodded.

"Okay, I like that idea," Tom said as he looked at Seto. "Where's James?"

"Front lines with Ashton," Seto explained. Tom looked at Matt.

"Alright, I want you to announce the new curfew, and to gather the professors in the main dining hall. And any student living off-campus must leave two hours before curfew." Tom told Matthew. Matthew nodded, Tom, grabbing his arm as he went to leave, pulling him back. "Matt, you got it? Everything I said, you got it?" Matthew nods again, looking at him.

"Of course I do," Matthew said before Tom lets go of his arm, letting him go. Seto watched Matt go, he smiled a bit.

"You know, you guys shouldn't doubt him so much. He's actually a very capable sorcerer."

"We almost lost him once already...we aren't taking any chances the second time, he might not come back to us the second time," Tom said. Seto loses his smile as he stared at Tom.

"You guys can't baby him forever, you know that, right?" Seto asked. Tom nodded before a wave of nausea hit Seto like a brick wall, shocking him, he stumbles back into Micheal who stood ready to grab the injured wizard. Tom looked at him worried as Micheal supported Seto on his feet. Seto gripped his hair, gritting his teeth. "D-Damn." Tom look at Micheal about to speak but held his tongue. 'There is no way I'm leaving Harvey alone with Micheal. I don't trust him.' Tom thought. Tom looked at Seto.

"Maybe you should rest, you teleported twice today...that has to have taken a toll on you, especially with your injuries," Tom said gently grabbing Seto's arm, wanting to yank Seto away from Micheal but not wanting to hurt him. Seto nods a bit.

"Y-Yeah. Geez...I thought I was c-completely healed." Seto said making Tom shake his head.

"Your eye is still covered by bandages, so you aren't completely healed yet," Tom said before he heard the announcements start. Tom's eyes flickered up to Micheal, darkening at the dark wizard. "You can let go of him, Micheal, I can help him walk." Micheal arched an eyebrow up at Tom.

"Don't trust me, huh?" Micheal asked him. Tom gripped Seto's arm.

"No, I don't." Tom snapped before Micheal let go of Seto, Tom grabbing him when Seto swayed, he put Seto's arm around his neck. "The only reason you are here, Micheal, is because Harvey is too trusting, don't forget that. If it wasn't for him, I would have kicked you out long ago." Seto's eyes looked at Tom.

"Thomas..." Seto said. Tom gripped Seto's shirt. Tom's eyes looked at Seto.

"Considering the healer said you had a concussion, I'm chalking this up as you not thinking clearly--"

"Thomas--'

"He's a dark mage! An elite at that." Tom snapped at Seto. Seto pulled his arm from Tom's shoulders, Micheal grabbed Seto when he swayed, unbalanced. Tom's eyes widen a bit, putting his hands up to him, seeing his skin turning pale.

"Maybe i-it is the concussion...b-but..." Seto stammered. He looked away from Tom, rubbing his eye. "Arghh..."

"Harvey?" Tom mumbled.

"D-Dizzy..." Seto mumbled, he stumbled back into Micheal, using Micheal for support. Micheal looked at Tom.

"Medical Wing?" He questioned Tom. Tom nods.

"Definitely." He said.

"When will these symptoms stop?" Thomas asked the healer. She shrugs her shoulders.

"I have no way of telling that. But teleportation in his condition was a dumb idea, what moron decided it was alright to teleport with someone recovering from a concussion and an eye injury?" The healer asked him. Tom pointed to Harvey, who is sleeping in the bed.

"That's the moron," Tom said. Tom lowered his arm. "Telling Harvey to not do something is just a waste of time, he'll do whatever the heck he wants not caring one bit about the repercussions until they bite him in the ass as they did an hour ago." The curtain pushed back, Jade went to the bedside.

"What happened?" Jade asked looking at Seto. The healer sighed, she looked at Jade.

"He's fine, Miss Williams. Apparently, he needs to learn the hard way that concussions and teleportations do not mix." The healer said making Jade shake her head. 'Harvey, why?! You always tell me to not teleport if I have a headache!' She thought to herself. She puts her hand on the bed.

"I'm sorry about him, he...doesn't like listening." She said. The healer looked at Seto.

"It's alright, I bet this is hard for him anyway." The healer said before looking back at her. "You can't just take an Elite off the battlefield, tell them to relax for three weeks and expect them to listen. Especially this Elitist." Jade looked at Seto, seeing he's waking up. She gripped the blanket in her fist softly, Micheal looked at her fist as Seto's eyes opened. He groaned. Jade stepped closer.

"You okay?" She asked. Seto nods a bit, he pushed himself up, sitting up.

"Yeah...I'm good--" Jade whacked his arm making him grab his arm, looking at her. "OW! That hurt!"

"Good! Because you obviously like getting hurt and ending up in a hospital bed!" Jade snapped. Seto's expression softens as she continued. "Do you even think before you do something that stupid, Harvey? There's a reason that they didn't just teleport you from the front lines to here when they were transporting you, it was because of your concussion. And now you are teleporting there and back? You're an idiot!" Micheal looked at Jade.

"There's no need to--" Jade's eyes shifted to Micheal.

"Did I ask for your opinion?" Jade snapped. Micheal shut his mouth, looking away from her. Jade narrowed her eyes. "I thought so." Seto touched Jade's arm, she pulled away instantly, looking at him. "Why can't you just listen to the healers? They are just trying to help you, can't you just--"

"Jade, I wouldn't teleport unless I had to," Seto said to her. Jade stared at him for a few moments.

"And what could be so important that you had to? Master Waglington and Master Phil are the front lines, they can handle--"

"Phil was captured by dark mages," Seto said making Jade stop, stunned.

"W-What?" She mumbled. Seto sat up more, turning to her.

"The camp I worked in was attacked by Audra, Micheal, and Aaron. They destroyed the camp and...took Phil." Seto said to her. She stepped back, horrified.

"Does Tara know?" Jade asked. Seto shakes his head.

"No, she can't--"

"How can you not tell her?! What if something happens to him?! She has to know!" Jade exclaimed. Jade looked away from him, thinking. 'Her graduation...it's tomorrow!' Jade thought to herself. She looked at Tom. "Her graduation is tomorrow...she'll be destroyed if he--"

"Jade," Seto said grabbing her arms, now on his feet. She looked at him as he spoke. "We will tell her...I just need to figure out how." Jade stared at him.

"Finding out is worse than being told directly. Don't make her have to found it out." Jade said. Seto's eyes soften.

"She won't," Seto said. Jade looked away from him, feeling her emotions flooding in. Seto's thumb rubbed her arm, seeing her eyes are glossy. "He's gonna be fine."

"How do you know that?" Jade asked before Tom spoke up.

"Phil isn't an elite for no reason, Jade. He...He knows how to take care of himself." Tom said to her. Jade nods a bit, not saying anything. Seto moves his hand on her shoulder.

"Come here." He mumbled. She hugs Seto's center, putting her face into his chest, his arms wrap around her. He looked at Tom. "Get Taralynn..."

"Are you sure about this?" Tom asked him. Seto shakes his head. "No, but...I'll just keep putting it off..." Jade picked her head up off his chest, looking at him.

"She's in her room last I checked," Jade said wiping her cheeks. Seto looked at her.

"Where's her room?" Seto mumbled. Jade stepped away from him.

"I'll show you."
