Since Sunny was the only one who was capable of white magic, she became the only person who could help Jonghyun with his injury. Narsha and Nickhun were originally standing nearby, watching Sunny attending to Jonghyun’s wound, but Narsha couldn’t stop crying since the time they discovered Jonghyun, so Nickhun casted m style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:Lato, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22.399999618530273px;">Sleep on her secretly and carried her back to her room.
When Nickhun returned to Jonghyun’s room again, Sunny was already done bandaging Jonghyun’s wound. But she was still sitting on his bed, staring at the white fabric mindlessly.
“How’s Jonghyun?” Worries were growing in Nickhun. Jonghyun seemed to be fine from what he was seeing now, but the stern expression on Sunny’s face was telling him another story.
“He should be fine.”
Nickhun was confused by that answer. “Should be?” That could be either positive or negative.
“I didn’t heal him, I merely did the bandaging.”
“Wha––”
“Jonghyun should have died even before we reach home.” Sunny averted her gaze away from Jonghyun and stared straight into Nickhun’s eyes. “But someone stopped his bleeding and save him.”
Nickhun was beyond shock. He couldn’t comprehend what he was hearing.
“I’ve examined his wound. It looks like something large had pierced through his body and the common healing skill which we all learnt when we were younger shouldn’t be able to stop the bleeding.”
“You mean…”
Sunny didn’t give Nickhun the chance to finish his sentence and nodded, “Yes, his wound had already closed up from the inside before I even attend to him. I’m only left to build the tissues on the surface.”
“This is crazy…” Nickhun stumbled back and rammed his back against the wall. If there was anything that could heal a wound within such a short period, it could only be white magic. But Sunny was the only capable one among the five of them. If it wasn’t her who did the healing, that means other than the five of them, there were other sorcerers… or priest living in the real world.
“Nickhun, do you know what I’m thinking?”
He turned to Sunny and saw her looking at Jonghyun’s direction with an unfocused gaze. He felt like comforting her, but he was so lost and helpless that he didn’t even have the strength to lift up his feet.
“Only the five of us know the situation of the Forbidden Land and the location of our base. Anyone from the outside who enters the Forbidden Land will most probably be killed by the Guardian Forces before making their way to our base, unless they know which route to go, which is highly impossible.”
Nickhun was going to agree with Sunny, but something struck his mind suddenly.
“But… we’re not the only one who knows this information.” The five of them were only the victims. And if there were victims, there would be a mastermind too.
“Precisely.” Sunny wasn’t going to drag this any further. “Moreover, she is the only one who can heal Jonghyun besides me. Nickhun, Taeyeon’s right. The Princess is indeed in the real world with us!”

“Jessica?”
It was early in the morning when Jessica noticed someone was outside their dormitory. She rushed to the front door immediately, only to find Victoria standing behind it.
“You are… Victoria?” Jessica was definitely surprised to find a hunter outside their door at this hour. “Are you looking for Yuri? She went out last night and is not back yet.”
Victoria flashed a smile at her, “Glad that you remember me. But I’m actually here for you.”
“Eh?”
“To be frank with you, Yuri is in the headquarters now. She came back two hours ago.”
“What happened to her? Is she injured?” Jessica became worried instantly. Yuri always returned to their dormitory after her patrol. Something must have gone wrong for her to be out there until now.
“No, no, no! Yuri’s fine! She’s not injured.” Victoria quickly explained before Jessica got the wrong idea. “It’s just that…” Victoria didn’t know how to continue. It was already very heartbreaking for Yuri. What if Jessica reacted the same way as her?
“What is it?” Victoria’s hesitation was seen in Jessica’s eyes. She knew obviously Victoria was hiding something from her. “Please don’t hide anything from me, Victoria! What happened?” Yuri was still fine before she went out yesterday night, she didn’t think things could go wrong after that.
“Calm down, Jessica!” Victoria held Jessica by her shoulders. “Yuri is really safe and sound. It’s just that… she is a little out of control now.”
Jessica couldn’t understand her. “What do you mean?”
She really had to break this news to her. Victoria released a heavy sigh and announced sadly, “Sooyoung went missing and Yoona is in a critical condition now.”

Everyone was trying to stop Yuri from wrecking the benches, but whoever tried to approach her would be attacked by her as well. Both Wooyoung and Junho were already suffering from small injuries on their faces and arms, but they were still trying their best to approach Yuri, only to have more injuries on them.
