It was Edelgard herself.

For as much as Bernadetta wanted to just run from that person as fast as possible, her atempt was short-lived, as her classmate grabbed her by the forearm when she tried to move away, forcing the poor Bernadetta to reluctanly open her eyes to see who was the one which spotted her.

As Bernadetta slowly opened her eyes with embarrasment and humilliantion in her face, she managed to see the indistinguishable unnatural white hair of a certain person she knew, that being her strict and disciplined class leader, Edelgard von Hresvelg.

"So, Bernadetta, you were the one streaking through the academy earlier in the day, didn't you ?", asked Edelgard to Bernadetta with her usual calm but serious tone.

"P-pleasedontkillme,p-pleasedontkillme,p-pleasedontkillme...!!!", Yelled Bernadetta in fear, as she tried to escape from her grip with her strength in vain.

"What, you seriously thought you could just run around naked in the hallways without suffering consequences ?,...now, please, explain yourself right now!!", Shouted Edelgard in a dead serious tone, as she pined Bernadetta against the wall to prevent for her from escaping.

"'gulp'...i-i....", Bernadetta wanted to say what Hubert did to her, and how it was his fault that she had no clothes right now, but not matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get the words out of her mouth, for she felt as if he himself had placed a curse upon her to prevent for her from speaking.

Eventually though, in order not to anger Edelgard, Bernadetta decided to invent an story in which, some unknown student played a mean prank on her, covering her clothes in ink, and stealing them, forcing her to streak through the academy, before deciding to wait until the night to not be seen.

"I See..., so this student that you speak of, **** to streak through the academy, right ?", Asked Edelgard as she finished listening to her.

"Y-Yes...", was all that Bernadetta could muster to say, prompting Edelgard to think about if she should believe her silly story, and what should she do with her regardless.
