"Where the hell is he?" Lucas yelled at the top of his lungs.
It had been near an hour since they started the hunt to kill Ashton. But within that hour, Ashton had completely disappeared from there. He was nowhere to be found as if he had become one with the darkness.
In the meantime, the Grunta twins were busy eliminating as many students as they could for the sake of maintaining secrecy there. But even they were having troubles on their side. It would appear, the qualifiers from the other zones were a lot better than they had expected.
As a result, Lucas and the rest of the nobles were left on their own to hunt Ashton. Which to be honest was not possible, given the little amount of light they had to use. In the end, Lucas begrudgingly had to split their forces.
