After a short while of waiting but before the bell rang for first class both Marika and Chiaki DE board from a landing craft and has they arrived at the gates of the Hakuoh Academy the landing craft itself took off and head back towards the Bentenmaru.
"We glad that you're alright yacht club President Marika and captain of the Bentenmaru but have you managed to found the Amaterasu yet." Lynn said
"No Lynn as yet we have not found the Amaterasu or its captain." Chiaki replied
"But if she and her girlfriend tactical officer Revy don't show then the principal will sure expel them from the academy." Natalia replied back
"That won't happen has we will do whatever it takes to stop them from being expel…Even if it means that this time we have to take a page from Shadow's book!" Markia shouted
A short while later every student was inside of the Hakuoh academy hall and was sitting in their class lines looking directly at stage as they were talking among themselves expect for Marika who had sudden disappeared from her class. On the stage itself and standing behind the podium were three Hakuoh Academy teachers.
"Hey Chiaki were did Marika disappeared to." Berinda said

Markia shouted
