Ghastly Realization
It wasn’t the voices that made Reinhart pause. It was what he couldn’t hear anymore.For a second, everything went still.The leaves became calm, and even the wind itself had seized like it was holding its breath and trying to hide its presence.This was how tense Reinhart's gaze made the atmosphere.His eyes remained on the students for a few long seconds, then he exhaled heavily, relaxing his shoulders a little and shaking his head. "I'm getting paranoid..."“Are you just gonna stand there all day, or are you coming out?” a deep and familiar voice came from the other side of the bush, breaking the silence he had created.Reinhart recognized it immediately.Garrion.He let out another sigh—but this time it wasn't a sign of weariness, or frustration, but relief— and he pushed aside the wildflowers gathered in front of him.The scent of saltwater was the first thing that greeted him like a welcome from the Island. His eyes followed the sound of waves lapping gently against the shore. F
Divide and Destroy
Just like it came, it left.The pressure in the air and the tension in their muscles, it all vanished and the Like a colony of ants that suddenly scattered into cracks in the ground, the moment they saw a threat approaching.Except, their hidden assailants didn't vanish because of fear. Why did they then? Levi and his friends didn't know.Levi slowly lowered his shoulders. “They’re gone,” he muttered.“They left?” Kyle asked, as they all turned round in a circular pattern slowly. “Weren’t they just—”“There were only three,” Violet cut in, still watching the treeline with narrowed eyes. “They kept circling fast, changing position constantly. Their energy signatures overlapped and that made it feel like more.”They all eased up, dropping their stances and standing properly. The forest around them had gone quiet again. No birds or rustles. Just a still tension lingering in the silence.“So…” Levi turned, brushing a leaf off his shoulder. “Anyone got any idea where we are now? Or if we’r
Caught in a Trap
In ten minutes, Reinhart and the students were already packed up and on the move, heading towards the rendezvous point Lian had communicated to him through her memories.Some of the students were still dragging their feet like they were just learning how to walk, and some were rubbing their eyes begging sleep to jump out of them, but none dared to complain—not with Reinhart at the front.After absorbing the island’s layout, Reinhart knew the zones where mana beasts clustered. Stronger ones occupied specific hotspots, while lesser creatures were scattered more freely across the island. So he chose a middle path, strategically weaving around the known danger zones while still pushing forward. Occasionally, a faint pulse of mana radiated from him like a slow breath. It was controlled enough just to warn off the beasts in the area, most of which were low-grade F to D ranks. Nothing that could handle his presence.Levi, walking somewhere near the middle of the group, had one eye on the fo
A Race Against Time
“Wait… Miss Lian?” Kyle blinked fast, the name settling like a jolt down his spine. “Isn’t she the—”“Another Legend?” Levi cut in, not looking away from the fire. “Yeah, not really the time to geek out.”Kyle gave a half-scoff, half-laugh and tossed a twig into the flames. “Tch. Fair.”“But isn't it kinda weird though?” Violet’s voice was soft, as her eyes darting between the currently frozen Reinhart and the flame in front of them. "Mr. Garrion… Miss Lian… One could be a coincidence, sure, but two high-ranking Sentinels teaching the same grade?”She let the sentence hang, the question burning itself into the silence.“Yeah. That’s… strange.” Levi nodded slowly, “Those kinds of people would usually be expected to be placed in top-tier classes. Like… university level, not—us.”“Well right now, that strange occurrence is working well for us, so let's question it later,” Kyle said, his voice a bit lighter “Could be coincidence, but… it’s a god damn nice one.”Just then, Reinhart’s eye
The Tides Have Changed
Two days had passed by since then. Since Reinhart and the kids had been transported to the mysterious island. After the attack from the Gorgonix, the group turned north, following Reinhart. He deliberately took a path opposite the direction the girl had come from—avoiding unnecessary confrontation with any more beasts that might be prowling in the same direction. The trees creaked quietly in the wind, but none of them said anything for a while.The only thing on their minds now was survival.Reinhart had made multiple attempts to trace the energy signatures of the other teachers and Layla, and confirm if there were other students present with them on the island. But all his efforts fall in vain.Every trial led to error. His sensory abilities were being interrupted by something he couldn't pinpoint. He also considered searching the island himself but he couldn't afford to leave the students behind without any form of protection knowing there were mana beasts present on the island.A
Island of Mysteries
Adrenaline.An instinctual drive bent on fear and survival. As much as it could sharpen one's judgements, it could equally cloud it. It could either force the body past its limits, or pull it back from the edge.If the moment was right, adrenaline could make a man wrestle and beast, a mother lift a car, or a child pull the impossible.As Kyle and Violet watched from a few feet away, they could only conclude the hormone was at work in Levi's body at the moment. The sudden blur of movements and the narrow twist of Levi’s body, the steel just barely missing its mark—they could only assumed it was adrenaline-fueled desperation. A last-second miracle sparked by the threat of death.But Levi knew it wasn’t that.What surged through him wasn’t panic or frantic instinct. It was different. A shift in the way his body moved, responded, even breathed. They changed from being mere results of reflexes to reactions based on an analysis of his situation.All his senses were heightened.He’d felt th
