Fourth Day starts with an emergency!

The third day of the camp passed.

And the time to receive the hundred points arrived. Everyone was eagerly waiting for the point message to arrive. But to all of their dismays, it didn't came. And more than 4 hours later, an emergency message was sent on every device, present on the island.

[ - DEAR STUDENTS,

THE MONSTER ISLAND CAMP IS NOW CANCELED. THIS IS NOT A JOKE, THE CAMP IS CANCELED. DO NOT GO ANY FURTHER INTO THE ISLAND, STAY WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW. IF POSSIBLE STAY IN A BIGGER GROUP OF DIFFERENT PARTIES. THIS IS AN EMERGENCY. THERE ARE INTRUDERS ON THE ISLAND, BEWARE OF THEM....

- OWEN SEBES ]

A message in red bold letters was received by each and every student on the island.

This message caused an utter chaos among the students. But the chaos was only for the first hour or so, after the second hour passed away things became different. Some took quick action and started finding other students and then formed a big force. Some decided to find a safe place to hide from the intruders. Some brave and stupid went to search for the intruders themselves, though they were only in single digit number.

There were others who, went out from their current location and started heading to the exit of the island where the ships were docked.

Rey had already told his party to stay on the edge of the land which was filled with traps. For them this place was the safest. At first the trio couldn't believe that their own classmate was murdered by some unknown people, but when the message from the Academy arrived, it was the other case. As Rey said, the competition has been canceled and also there are some intruders on the island. And according to Rey, all of them are very strong.

In another place, Elliott's squad was also in panic and chaos. But it was for an entirely different reason from everyone else's. There was one person missing from their party since this morning. They tried to find her everywhere within a two mile radius and still the result was negative. Just after their unsuccessful search, the message from the Academy arrived on all of their devices. And the panic began.

Elliott's party was the only party who entered the inner regions. And a very unique thing about the inner regions is, there is literally nowhere to hide. The inner regions have the highest number of monsters, both in quality and quantity.

In this situation, hiding is impossible. There was no party apart from them in the inner regions to form an alliance. Plus with a member gone missing, they were all in a tough spot.

"What shall we do now? Emily is nowhere!!" Somia asked Elliott with a tensed voice.

When the girls woke up in the morning, Emily was missing from the tent. They went on to check in Elliott's tent and found out that she was not there. First, all of them waited for an hour. And when there was no sign of her returning, Elliott went out along with Juhie to search the area in their close proximity. But not a single trace of human was found there. It was like Emily just vanished from the tent without a trace.

"And what about the message??" This time it was Amisha who asked the question.

All the three girls were looking at Elliott for an answer, as the leader of the party who would make the final decision.

And Elliott responded to their gazes with his cold and harsh words,

"I think we should leave this place, asap! And find a decent place to hide until the entire fiasco is died down....."

The girls were shocked to hear these words from 'Elliott'. The Elliott they knew would go to find Emily by himself, not the one who would say to abandon her.

By looking from a normal point of view, saving four was much more logical then to risk everyone's life for saving a single person. But for Amisha, Juhie and Somia, Elliott was the latter type of person. He would risk his life to save even a stranger, and this is his own team mate.

Unknowingly to them, the Elliott they saw as the brave warrior, was actually a calculative adult on the inside. Every time Elliott did something stupid like mentioned above, he would have already planned the situation out till the end.

But this time it was a whole different scenario, if Emily would have went by herself then there should be at least a single trace of her going outside. There were none of them. And it was not possible for any monster or the 'intruder' to come near the tent, as there was alarming traps installed everywhere. And these alarms were made by Elliott himself, which meant that they were used in the far future. Even those advanced traps did not catch anything coming from the outside.

There was also another thing, the day Emily goes missing, is the day when the whole competition gets canceled. It was all weird.

Elliott stressed more on the word, 'intruder'. He knew from the knowledge of his previous experience that the only group that can and has interfered with Grace Academy in this way is the warlocks.

And they only interferes for two reason, to take something they want or to take someone they want. And this group has everyone they would loved to have. The only one who was a normal candidate among us was Emily, who was added to our group at last minute.

'Though I don't think she is normal in anyway!'

But still, in front of the general public, she was an unknown figure, a very contrast to the line-up present in here.

And it was not hard for Elliott to figure out that some of the teaching staff was also with the warlock organization. And so could be Emily. . . .

Elliott was not going to search for Emily, as according to him, they were in the worst position to be while being under attacked by the warlocks. So, he wanted to take the group in a lower region and blend within a large group.

Now all he had to do was to convince the girls before him!

Inside the private chambers of the Queen Blizzard Ant.

Felix woke up to the constant beeping of the message. The poison on his wound was fully detoxified by the high grade potion, and even the scar was gone.

He looked around to find an unconscious Sami lying beside him. In front of him, there was a few bottles of potions and some defensive artifacts with a note in between those items.

Felix stood up from his spot and went towards those items. He picked up the note and saw the familiar handwriting. From a single glance, he knew that it was written by Garrett.

( Felix,

I knew you would be the one reading this note. When I woke up, we all were lying in this cave. Both you and Sami were unconscious and gravely injured. I poured a high grade potion on your back to heal you but the poison was obstructing the process and hence you were unconscious for the whole day I spent in this cave. As for Sami, he had his Essence fully drained and is in coma. You know the rest, I assume!

We wasted a lot of time here and I had to go out there and get some points for us. So I am going to go outside the cave, leaving this note and the supplies to you. Take good care of yourself and Sami, And do not go outside, no matter what!!

-Garrett.)

"Showing himself as the goody and team guy!" Felix grunted after reading the note left by Garrett.

Inside the core region of the Ashell island, there was a beautiful small pond. In the center of the pond, there was a bit of land. On that land, a blue scepter was floating. The scepter was radiating a deep blue essence in the surrounding, which covered that entire land and blended it with the color of the water from the pond, making the land invisible to anyone outside the pond.

The three siblings were right on the edge of the pond. Their destination was right in front of them. The teleporter they came to get was a blue scepter. And the location was said to be the center of the pond.

"I don't see anything in the middle, it's all water!" Carlos asked as all he could see was deep blue water throughout the pond.

"You're right! I too didn't see anything apart from the water." Rook also said the same thing as Carlos.

"Sarah, where is it?" Rook asked Sarah, as she was constantly looking at a certain spot in the pond.

Sarah had a special eyesight which allowed her to see a little more than what a normal person could see. She had the ability to see the Essence flow of her surroundings. When she looked at the pond, she was easily able to see the dense Essence gathered at a certain spot in the pond.

When Rook asked her, she pointed towards the spot instantly.

And after reaching the spot, the land was seen. And the floating blue scepter was in their sight. Their mission was now almost complete, all they have to do now is to go to ship number three.

"I have set the location, Let's go and bring master!" Rook took the scepter and activated the teleportation process.

A dense blue light projected out of the scepter and covered all three of them, and in the next moment they were in the captain's cabinet of ship number three.

"Finally!!" The dumb professor cried out in joy upon seeing them.
