"Should we wait or should we go into the forest as by now all the students must return but they haven't. I am really worried about it"
The professor suggested.
In addition the professor also suggested that in the past most of the students used to come back by this time but today most of the students are missing.
"Hmmm… We can wait a bit"
The other teacher suggested.
"No Way! We can't take such risk by waiting for them to come"
Likewise, the professors had an argument.
"If you guys are not sure of what to do then let's vote for the decision"
The headmaster of the Eclipse Academy said.
"Yes!"
"Let's do it asap!"
As they immediately started to vote for the choice but fortunately some students made their way to the entrance gate.
"Aufff! This voting seems to be a waste of time and our energy as we can see some of the students coming towards the entrance gate."
"Yes, there was nothing to be worried about as this year's students are stronger than the previous years. Moreso, they are the students of Super Class"
Super Class title was given to those batch of students who were so powerful and efficient where not every batch does get this title.
After all, it was expected that in the upcoming future there would be seven numbers of 10-Rank students from this batch.
Among those students who were expected to reach 10-Rank were Lily Paypal, Trival Maxpad, Aerox Sun and a lot more…
This was because of them being able to reach Rank 2 by right now itself.
Many professors were expecting a lot from those students and some even thought that those students might be the leaders who will lead the humans in decades to come.
The professors felt relaxed to see those students making their way to the entrance gate.
-Whoosh!
Nonetheless, one of the professors noticed something bad about those students who were making their way to the entrance gate.
"Something seems not to be right at all!"
As the professor said, they could see only 3 students in that group.
"I guess some students are left behind trying to get some more points"
"Maybe what you are saying is right but I don't really think that those students in the same group would be coming separately"
Professor Costine declared.
Just as she said that, the headmaster felt something really strange upon seeing those students.
In Fact the headmaster knew that those three students were in danger and were badly injured.
"Professor Layla Costine. Can you immediately go and check those three students"
The headmaster ordered.
As commanded by the headmaster, professor Layla Costine went near the students and checked what had really happened.
Indeed, those three students were the teammates of Aerox Sun who stood first position in the Entrance test.
But how only three of them managed to reach here safe and sound?
This was because they smartly took the safe route where they didn't meet with any of those attackers.
"My dearest students, why are you only three in number? Where are the rest of your teammates"
Miss Layla Costine inquired.
"Hey! Activate the Skill"
Just as one of the students was about to attack the person in front of them having no idea that she was their teacher..
"STOP"
One of them immediately recognized that the person was indeed their professor Costine who was coming to help them and they stopped from attacking her.
"Huh! Finally Miss Costine. I miss you so much!"
Since the student had been suffering a lot by fighting with top ranked poachers, they felt excited upon seeing their professor.
"We have been attacked by the group of poachers in the forest Miss Costine"
"Huh! WHAT?"
Miss Layla Costine became so shocked hearing those news.
==============================
On the other side, Lilly , Trival and Aerox were fighting with the strongest poacher for a long time.
" I told you not to mess up with me"
The poacher said in a loud tone.
"Huh! You can kill us but I will never become like you motherF**ker"
Trival replied.
At that moment, the poacher felt something strange that he could sense the aura of a top fighter coming towards the battle field.
Having known about it, the man instantly thought of ending this battle and ran away.
-Lets Go!
Then the poacher directed his attack to the Aerox.
-Shuaaaaa
"Wind Attack"
Just as he was about to hit Aerox with his final blow, the headmaster implemented his skill already and threw away the attacker.
"Ahhhhhyaaaaaa"
The poacher spat a mouthful of blood on the ground as the headmaster was heading toward him for another attack.
"I made a big mistake today by not killing those students immediatley and now it is too late"
As he was saying this to himself he could see the headmaster so near to him.
The poacher rubbed the ring on his hand, and in an instant, a swirling dark portal appeared on the ground in front of him.
"Next time, I'll make sure to kill you all. Ha Ha ha …"
he sneered as he stepped into the portal.
"Huh? Looks like he escaped,"
Aerox muttered weakly.
"Was that how they infiltrated the test area? I need to report this to the higher-ups."
The headmaster approached the injured students, checking their pulses one by one.
-Whoosh!
He sighed in relief when he confirmed they were still alive.
Meanwhile, the other professors were scattered across the area, aiding other students.
Some had managed to kill the poachers, but several of the enemies had escaped using similar dark portals.
===============================
Three days after the test….
"Hello! Xerox Zee"
Masha and Silvana greeted.
Since Masha and Silvana became normal after two days, on the third day they went near Xerox Zee.
As there was no reply at all, two of them had a conversation.
"Is he still sleeping or is his injuries still not healed?"
Silvana asked.
"Maybe he is sleeping"
Masha replied.
"If he is sleeping then let him sleep and rest for a while"
"Yeah that would be a nice idea. Lets not disturb him Masha"
Having said that, both of them remained silent for some time.
After a while, when Masha was gazing at Xerox's face, Silvana felt something strange.
"Hey! Do you by any chance know each other?"
Silvana asked.
"Ohh, actually yes!"
Masha replied.
"OMG! How ?"
"Ahh… he was my middle school mate"
"WoW! That seems interesting"
"Yeah but not really!"
"But why?"
"He wasn't as strong as he is right now and we hardly talk with each other back then in the middle school"
"Did he ever have any GF or was he a pervert?"
"Haha! I aint really sure as he was a serious guy back in the middle school"
"Whether he was a jerk or any kind of pervert, if he wasn't there we would have been killed by those attackers. All thanks to our Hero Xerox Zee"
Silvana praised Xerox Zee.
"Haha! Yes, our hero! But this hero is little bit different as he hardly trust anybody else"
"Ohh! Why is it so?"
"Hmmmm…. Nothing!"
"You are hiding something secret about him. Masha?"
"Ahhhh…. Nothing at all!"
"Anyways, let's not disturb him. So shall we go?"
"Lets' Go!"
(Certain Change in me yet my secret!)
