[What do you mean you can't find them?!?] - Karen

[Unfortunately Manic Blade is quite skilled, we have begun combing the forest systematically but we may not be able to discover their location before the 5 month timeframe we have been given already.] - Principal Night

After Manic Blade had sneknapped[modern_footnote]I couldn't help it... meme FTW![/modern_footnote] Rose the adventurer's had split up with some of them escorting the students and teachers back to the Academy while the rest had attempted to immediately track any signs that Manic Blade had left behind. Unfortunately they had been unable to follow the skilled adventurer and subsequent search parties had been unable to find any sign of him.

[I apologize but for now we will register you as a secondary attendant for Rose and considering your circumstances we'd be willing to allow you to attend classes as well.] - Principal Night

[I'm going back into that forest and searching for Rose myself! I know the forest better than any of your teachers and...] - Karen

[At your level you'll only get yourself killed, I'm aware of the fact that you've been inside the forest for a while but the deeper area's of the forest have creature's that you wouldn't stand a chance against.] - Principal Night

Rose's roommate's had attempted to join the search parties as well but they'd been stopped as well and were currently under house arrest to keep them from sneaking out. The only reason Karen was not included in that was that the Academy wasn't sure how to handle the Slime Girl. She'd been called to the Principal's office to figure out how to deal with her which led to the current argument.

[Besides I don't believe that Rose is in any actual danger, our best option is to continue searching the forest while preparing for the tournament in 5 months. We don't normally allow first year students to participate in the tournament but with approval from a teacher it is technically allowed.] - Principal Night

[Why would I care about participating in some stupid pissing contest like that?] - Karen

[Your circumstances being what they are make your situation tenuous. I've already had multiple complaints from several noble families on your inclusion into our school. Winning a high rank in the upcoming tournament will cement your enrollment and silence any complaints.] - Principal Night

[I don't particularly care about attending this Academy, I only want to find my Aus... I mean Rose!] - Karen

[Ha.... To be frank Miss Karen there have been calls from some of the staff to banish you from the premises regardless of whether Rose comes back or not and while I am inclined to allow you to remain near your... Rose, as you put it, I won't do so unless I have enough reason to fight the various naysayers.] - Principal Night

[Tch! Fine then, but if anything happens to Au... Uh Rose, I'll hold you personally responsible.] - Karen

[Believe me when I say that I don't want anything to happen to Rose as much as you do. Now I'll have to ask you to follow Margaret here, she'll guide you to your dorm area.] - Principal Night

Motioning towards the door as a black haired woman with fluffy ears entered. Karen thought about continuing to argue but the look on the Principals face was telling her it wouldn't make the situation any better. With one last look of derision on her slimy face she allowed Margaret to guide her out.
