A scream in the middle of the night would make anyone go check it out or at least make them afraid of something in the dark. Damian, Magnus, and Aurora were eating when it happened, but they stopped whatever they were doing and went to check.
Magnus was the one who went first, as he, with his empowerment ability, could see better in the dark. Damian and Aurora only followed him, which was already tough, considering his incredible speed.
When they got to the scream's source, they realized it was nothing more than a recording!
"They fooled us," Magnus said, kicking a nearby tree to vent his anger.
Damian did not think like that and said, "no, they did not. We probably get more points in the test by coming here to save someone."
He never forgot, even for a second, that it was a test. Their decisions had a significant impact if they would pass it or not. Damian believed anyone who reached the school would pass the test, but during it, one could fetch more points, and those should do something, right?
"It makes sense. Bro, you are the smart one, and I am the muscles. Aren't we a good team?" Magnus tapped Damian on the shoulder, and they all returned to camp.
Food was waiting for them — fruits and some rabbits Magnus caught. They ate well that night and climbed the tree to sleep on their hanging bed.
Some people had surprised faces inside a room with many monitors covering each part of the forest.
"You saw their teamwork when dealing with that beast? Good, very good." (f)reewebnovel.com
"They also went to check the scream, which most don't do it."
"All the teams should pass this test, but those three will get additional points."
They talked to each other about the performance of Damian, Magnus, and Aurora. But, as they said, all the teams should pass the test, but Damian and his friends would fetch some additional points due to their incredible performance.

Morning came, and they left their improvised camp, going toward where they believed the school was. So Damian had guessed the other day that the Garmony Upper School had some barrier around it, probably the work of a superhuman, making it invisible.
His theory got more assertive when they, after walking in a dense forest for quite some time, entered a cleaner area with fewer trees and bushes, as if someone had chopped them.
There was also a huge plain area with nothing in it, and when Damian saw that, he was sure it was the school.
"Magnus, Aurora, rejoice. We arrived!"
When the trio stopped in front of the school, someone was already waiting for them, disabling the invisible barrier, thus showing the famous Garmony Upper School!
It had a rustic look, like a school from fantasy books. Surrounded by tall walls and fences, with four watch others in each corner to make sure no one got in or out.
As for the main structure of the school, it was impressive, to say the least. Six floors up and a dozen more down where only authorized people could go. A gym, kitchen, dorms, and many other areas where the students could relax while being there.
"You are the first team to arrive here, impressive. Now, follow me. I will show you your rooms," a man with an eyepatch said.
He was tall, wore a slightly different uniform than the students, and had a scar on his left eye. Damian believed he was one of the people responsible for teaching them something, a teacher.
The man showed them the courtyard of the school, explaining where each thing was so they would not get lost in the future.
"You are Damian, right? This is the key to your room and the one for Magnus. Now, Aurora, follow me to the girls' dorm."
They said goodbye to each other. Damian and Magnus saw the boy's dorm, a separate building from the main one of the school, and it had four floors!
"Not bad at all. Damian, what's your key number?"
"Hum, let me see," he grabbed the key the man gave him, and a number was on it, "307," Damian said, showing it to his friend Magnus.
"Nice. Mine is 308!"
The two would get rooms close to each other, a shame Aurora had to sleep in another dorm. Damian and Magnus went upstairs, carrying only the two backpacks they had, all the school allowed.
Damian grabbed the key to his room, a card, passing through the reader to open the door. "Decent enough," he said, looking around his room to see how it was.
It was not the best room, like those from top-tier hotels, but it was still nice. The bed was large and soft, the bathroom big enough, and there was even a balcony to have a clear view in the morning.
There was a large TV, but it did not turn on, and Damian also noticed his cellphone had no signal or internet.
"Is this so that no one can contact the outside world?"
It was not strange for these types of schools to not have that, but Damian hoped that could change.
"I am not officially in yet, as there are more tests, but we have to wait for the other teams to arrive."
The next test for them would only start after all the teams arrive. Speaking of the other groups, a new one appeared after a few hours since Damian's arrival.
It was Joffrey who yelled when the man with the eyepatch deactivated the invisibility of the school.
"Hahaha. I am the first one to get here. What is my special prize?" Joffrey asked the man in front of him, who did not have a happy face.
"Don't yell here. Also, you are not the first to get here. Someone called Damian came 10 hours ago."
It took some time for Joffrey to reassess his thoughts and remember who this Damian was.
"Him? Motherfucker!"
