"Aren't you going to say anything?"
I turned around to face him. "Thanks for saving my ass." I swallowed my pride.
He shook his head. "No, not that."
I looked at him funny...

"You really missed a lot today." Julia let out a small snicker just when the elevator doors slid open, only for us to be greeted by a crowd.
It was something around 7 o'clock. The sun has set down and everyone is sent back inside the academy. Just a few minutes ago, Julia came by my room to check up on me. And when I told her I was doing better, she started telling me about her day. That until we decided to go down for dinner.
Tonight, the ground floor's hallways were more packed than usual. There were a lot of people running around and small groups chattering every few feet. I couldn't help but sense that something was odd.
"Really?" I asked while I look around, puzzled.
However, Julia didn't notice or give a spare look at the crowd. She just kept minding her business and talking to me.
She nodded as we take one of the turns that would lead to the cafeteria. "The weather was amazing. It was sunny and a bit windy, it was perfect! Also, there was a fight that happened."
"Fight?" at that, I gave her my attention with curiosity.
"Yeah. Two guys against one," she informed. "Just a few hours ago outside. Nothing exciting happened though, the guards came in real quick. Bummer!"
"Shouldn't that be good?" I asked with an awkward laugh.
She scoffed. "Hell no! We wanted action!"
I shook my head at her, bemused, while we take another turn. "I'm sure some will happen soon," I joked. Although, just when those words came out of my mouth, a yell suddenly echoed in the hallway.
Instantly, me and Julia turned around only to see students backing away from another turn and running as if someone was after them. And yet before I can even wonder about what's going on, two dozen guards started showing up.
The guards on the front line held long stick tasers and were swinging them around—as if they don't mind hitting students with them. "Get back!" some of them ordered. And the next thing I know, Julia grabbed my hand and pulled me away into one of the turns.
"Wait, what the hell is happening?" I asked feeling lost as we stand a couple of feet back, next to other students.
I tried to look through the crowd and saw the guards walking straightforward with their tasers lightening up. "I don't know," Julia whispered staring at them as well.
Not less than a moment, more guards appeared and followed the leads only they were holding what looks like 4 unconscious guys. I couldn't help but wonder,
