Eiji's squad are now headed to find a good water source and shelter. They will train after they find a place to stay in 2 days at the wilderness.
As they continue moving forward, They found a cave.
"Eiji will we stay here?"
"Let's check it out first Bubbles."
"Asami can you try to check what's inside the cave?"
"Sure thing Eiji."
Asami used sound waves to look at the whole cave without going in.
"Goya Asami. The first vampire to use the Sound Element. No wonder she's a misfit."
"I agree Raisato. She is special."
After 5 minutes of checking, Asami finished and detected no lifeforms and a water source inside.
"All clear everyone."
"Let's go!"
After a while, A mysterious thing entered the cave and blocked it.
Everyone started training on what part they need to improve instead of doing what Taji said and improve faster.
"Tokua, Maki, Shisio! Can you all tell me what your abilities are?"
"I can manipulate any kind of poison. Maki is a shadow user and Shisio is a purple lightning master."
"What a simple description!"
"Anyways, everyone should go back to train."
"We should get started too Tokua."
"I can't use my abilities. Geez, you really are an idiot Shisio."
"But you can train your other abilities!"
As the three argue in the back, Eiji decided to come back to train.
After a bit of training, they decided to take a break.
Izumi wanted to give Eiji some fruits she got from the forest but ended up slipping from her own water that she casted earlier and perfectly landed on Eiji.
"Are you okay Izumi?"
Izumi blushed after seeing Eiji's face up close.
She ran back to the entrance to try and forget.
Izumi arrived in the entrance of the cave but saw that it was covered up.
After all the training, Some of them realized that they have been barricaded by someone and they cannot escape.
They thought it was one of the teachers to test them so they continued what they were doing.
They all decided call it a day after a whole day training their abilities. Everyone had their own sections. They can sleep with who they want as long as they can fit.
The cave has 3 small like room's. Spencer and Stella took one of them, Raisato, Bubbles, Hikaru and Natsumu took the the other room. Eiji, Monome, Izumi, and Asami are left in the last one. Everyone wanted sleep after a long day.
"Ah finally! We can now take a long rest!"
Eiji lays down on the rocks and fell asleep.
"That was fast."
"I agree Izumi."
Monome decided to talk to Izumi and Asami.
"So, What do you two like about Eiji?"
"What!? I don't like him. I just-"
Izumi got shocked after Monome asked them that.
"I like him because he helps people without any reward. We never talked but seeing him helping me and the others, I liked him for that."
Asami was confident enough to answer that question.
"What about you Izumi?"
"Um, he was cool and kind to me. He always supports me in everything I do."
"Alright. Now that I know the reason, we can all rest now."
"That's all!?"
"Shhh-"
They moved on to the next day.
Eiji woke up after having a bad dream and saw Izumi and Asami sleeping beside him.
"What are you doing!?"
Izumi and Asami woke up after Eiji shouted out of shock.
"Good morning Eiji"
Asami rubs her eyes.
Izumi yawns after not falling a sleep after what happened last night.
"Let's check what the others are doing."
Eiji comes up with a reason to avoid that awkward situation.
"Eiji! Bad news!"
"What's wrong Bubbles?"
"Eiji we are trapped by a barrier. "
"What?"
"We we're supposed to take a deep breath outside until we saw the entrance sealed."
"Who could've done this?"
"Anyways Eiji, call everyone and gather up."
"Okay."
Eiji called everyone using his blood strings to communicate.
"What happened Eiji?" Tokua asked.
"Someone placed a barrier on us."
"What? It's impossible for the other classes to place a barrier within a day."
"Natsumu can you check out the cave?"
"Understood!"
Natsumu checked the place in a fast pace.
"I found nothing Eiji".
They realized that Spencer and Stella was missing.
"Anybody seen Spencer and Stella?"
"I think they are in their room."
"Natsumu did you see anyone there?"
"I saw Spencer and Stella there sleeping."
"Why would they sleep in this situation!?"
"Eiji let me go and fetch them-"
Natsumu suddenly gets stabbed by someone.
Hikaru saw despair in his eyes and lost his senses.
"Natsumu!"
They all saw Natsumu's spirit get eaten by this person.
"Isn't that Ryuu Bubbles!?"
"Ryuu!?"
"You found it out faster than I thought."
"Hikaru wake up!"
"Now, who wants to die first?"
They all got intimidated by Ryuu while Spencer and Stella are peacefully sleeping.
"Eiji! Let me and Shisio handle this."
"Let us destroy this bastard Eiji."
Eiji in tears lets Shisio and Maki fight Ryuu.
"Here I come!"
