Perfeito 💫 Então aqui está a tradução completa e adaptativa do capítulo, mantendo o nome Alícia, o ritmo narrativo original e o tom cinematográfico:

After Class
Violet: Alícia, wait for me — I need to talk to you.
Estela – Want me to wait too?
Jheysi – And me??
Gregor – Uh… same here?
Violet – Ugh, fine everyone can wait. I'll talk to all of you!
Prof. Louis:/ – Violet, I assume Fionna has already told you about everything that's been going on.
Violet – Told me? What? What's going on?
Prof. Louis – The students disappearing.
Violet – Ohhh, that...
No, she didn't tell me anything. Why would she tell me this?
Wait, what?! Students are disappearing? Shouldn't we call the police??
Prof. Louis – Hahaha! Crawford, you're hilarious.
But you're right to think that way.
Anyway, Fionna will reach out soon to confirm a few things, but I'll give you one piece of advice something to always remember:
See beyond appearances. Look within.
Violet – Okaaay… got it, Louis. Anything else??
Prof. Louis – That's all.
See through people.
Violet pauses for a few seconds, lost in thought.
Violet (thinking) – I'll follow Fionna's advice for now. No need to raise suspicions yet.
Violet – Understood!
Prof. Louis – Take care of Rebecca's daughter she's truly brilliant. You've got that strength too.
Violet freezes, unsure how to respond.
Prof. Louis – That's all for now. I've got a mess of things to handle today. Oh, and about the Spring Festival I'll try to postpone it a little. Don't worry about it.
Violet– Okay, thank you so much!
Prof. Louis – Anytime! Now I'd better run to my next class.
He rushes out of the room.
Violet steps out and locks the door behind her.
Alícia's Perspective
Gregor – Okay, now let me introduce the sensation of the moment KeySands' very own star student: Jheysi! Top of the Adamantite class two years in a row, the only one since Farahlim!
Jheysi, this is Alícia super smart, she'll be studying with us starting today. So, may the fight for first place begin!
Jheysi – Alright, enough of that. Hi, Alícia, right?
Alícia – Yes!
Jheysi – Nice to meet you. Violet and I started studying here around the same year, and if you're already such good friends with her, I'm sure we'll get along too.
Alícia's expression brightens almost instantly, her face glowing.
Jheysi lifts her hand for a handshake and Alícia grabs it with both of hers, smiling wide.
Alícia – YES!!!!!!!!!!
Jheysi gives a small, amused smile.
Jheysi – There we go.
Gregor – Seriously? That's it?
Estela – Greg, stop stirring things up. You know Jheysi's not someone you want to mess with.
Mandy – Remember when she hired that hitman to follow Albert for a week with very specific instructions?
Gregor – WHAT?!
Jheysi waves her hand, smiling awkwardly.
Jheysi – Ahhhh, I have no idea what she's talking about! Mandy, stop spreading lies you'll scare Alícia!
Mandy – Nope, I remember perfectly! You hired that guy from the dark web to stalk Albert because he got us detention!
Jheysi – Once again no idea what she's talking about.
Anyway, Alícia, what are your favorite subjects?
Alícia – Uh…
Gregor – Hold on, tell that story properly!
Jheysi – Later! I'm talking to Alícia here.
Suddenly, a sharp scream echoes down the hallway.
Jheysi – Gregor, watch Alícia.
Gregor – Got it!
Without hesitation, Jheysi grabs her bag and sprints toward the sound.
Alícia – What does "watch Alícia" even mean?
Gregor – Honestly? No idea! Hahaha!
He glances subtly at Mandy.
Mandy – Jheysi's like that she always wants to protect everyone.
Alícia nods, watching the direction Jheysi ran toward.
Then, out of nowhere, a flash of light streaks past her.
Violet's Perspective
As Violet locks the classroom door, she hears the same scream and instantly reacts.
Violet – Celeritas!
She sprints faster than her footsteps can even echo passing Alícia in a blur.
Ahead, Jheysi stands near a wall, facing a small group. Voices can be heard.
Girl 1 – Ugh, you're such an idiot!
Girl 2 – Hahaha, come on, it was funny, right?
Boy – I was just joking!
Girl 1 – I didn't like your joke. Maybe try it on her if you think it's so funny. You two are—
Violet (whispering) – Sensus.
Girl 1 – My name is Bo-kyung!
Girl 2 – We know your name, idiot! I think I pulled your hair too hard again sorry!
Bo-kyung – Shut up!
Why the heck did I just shout my name...?
Violet – Hi Bo-kyung, right? I'm Violet, class representative of the third year.
Bo-kyung – Oh, uh, hi.
Violet – I heard a scream and ran here. Did something happen?
Jheysi – Yeah, I heard it too.
Bo-kyung – No, it's fine. Just those two idiots over there.
Violet – What did they do?
Bo-kyung – A stupid prank. That girl loves pulling my hair.
Girl 2 – Hey, let me go! Anton, do something!
A hooded figure is suddenly seen holding the girl's arms.
Boy (Anton) – Who are you?! Let her go!
Anton raises both hands "Teqina Sterk!"
Violet points a finger "Kyanseru!"
Anton – Why did you cancel my spell?!
Jheysi – At that distance, you would've killed your friend. Reckless move.
Also, Violet that robe looks like one of the masked ones.
Violet – No, look the white symbol on the back. It's Anbuza.
Jheysi – Bo-kyung, behind me.
I thought the Anbuza dynasty fell with Lilith's empire.
Violet – They didn't fall. They vanished taking everything with them.
But still, the Anbuza never did this... they stood for order. Never mind I'll take care of her.
Violet runs toward the hooded person.
Hooded Figure – Not one step closer, Violet.
Violet freezes instantly.
Violet (thinking) – That voice... I know that voice.
Jheysi – Violet, he's right in front of you attack!
She clenches her fists, ready to fight.
Violet (thinking) – What? That voice... it's so distant yet so familiar...
Who is it? Damn it why can't I remember?!
Hooded Figure – See you on the other side.
A blinding flash swallows the room and in an instant, both the hooded figure and the girl vanish.
Anton – VIOLET! VIOLET!
Jheysi – Stop yelling, damn it!
Anton – Why didn't she do anything? She could've stopped him!
Violet (thinking) – "On the other side"? What's on the other side...?
I'm scared... so scared...
Violet collapses.
Alícia's Perspective
Alícia sees the flash.
Alícia – What was that?!
Gregor – No idea. Stay with Mandy I'll go check.
Alícia: Why can't we all go together??
Gregor exchanges a strange look with Mandy.
Mandy – Okay, fine we'll go. But stay alert; it could be dangerous.
Alícia – ENOUGH! I'm tired of being treated like a child!
Fine I'll find out myself!
She runs toward where Jheysi went.
Gregor – Damn it!
Estela – If you two don't tell her, I will!
I know you promised Violet, and I respect that, but it's so unfair to keep her in the dark.
Gregor and Mandy exchange uneasy looks.
Gregor – Give me some time to talk to Violet. Like it or not, that explanation has to come from her.
Estela (furious) – I said I respect it but I won't let that girl keep suffering.
Mandy – Okay, okay just give it a little time. Things will settle soon.
Gregor, I'll go after her you help Jheysi, alright?
Gregor – Got it.
Mandy – Estela, you coming?
Estela – Obviously.
The three run after Alícia.
Alícia sees them behind her then, in the blink of an eye, Mandy and Gregor vanish!
Alícia freezes.
Alícia – What...? Where did they
Mandy – Alícia, stop!
Alícia turns Mandy's standing ahead of her.
Alícia – How... how did you?
Mandy – It's too dangerous.
Alícia – How did you get ahead of me without me even seeing you?!
Mandy – I just ran.
Alícia – No, that's not just speed.
Estela – Listen to Mandy, please.
Alícia – You too, Estela?
Estela – Alícia, please listen. It's dangerous out here, especially now.
Alícia – Then tell me what's going on!
