I created my own system

Apollo's Pov

Since my classmate survived the hunt at the Monastery and has been through countless life-and-death situations, I thought this survival practice would be a piece of cake. I really picture us enjoying the island and creating fun memories. I badly need that since all the stress of investigating the church made my mind a bit hazy.

Or perhaps my spell Clonis had reached its limits after being active for weeks

So I thought this would be a vacation of some sort but everything is far from the image I had imagined. This doesn't give me any kind of peace, all it gives me is stress.

As soon as I set foot on the sandy shore of the island. The system's scanner was blocked while any kind of search or observation spell was being cancelled. The mere thought of not finding anything related to the place we are in draws me to worry. So right after entering the island, I was filled with anxiety that I kept burying inside my heart.

Even at night, I tried to get any readings but there was nothing that I could see. When I tried to sneak out and map the island I was welcomed by the professors who were patrolling outside.

"Apoolllooo" I heard Professor Adolfo's voice forcing me to return back to the boy's tent.

"Take it easy boy, and just enjoy the island" the professor added though it didn't make me feel better. I was still searching and thinking of ways to acquire information about this island. However, tries as I might it didn't really work. Whatever type of weapon is being used on this island is way too powerful to be broken by the system.

"Damn it this is so frustrating!"

I screamed inside my mind, although it might seem a trivial matter but I have never been in any kind of situation where I don't know anything. I was always the one stirring things the way I wanted it. The one in control and always one step ahead of everybody.

[Havent I told you to remove this side of you]

"Yeah I know I know"

I answered however my head still couldn't rest without getting anything from this island.

I tried anything until Jeremiah intervened and forcefully shut down my consciousness.

...

...

The mapping was going well for the students however as dusk fell over the treetops. A shadow emerges on the ground. The peaceful atmosphere suddenly shifted and the air was statically charged with a heavy presence. The lower-class students are familiar with this feeling. It was fear, caused by a being whose strength is bigger than them.

Alicia and Apollo immediately reacted and went on to defend or attack at any given moment.

"What the hell is this!" Apollo told to himself feeling suffocated at the mere presence of the beast. Even his sight was being clouded so he couldn't properly identify the monster in front of him.

"Apollo we need to retreat," Alicia said while all her classmates had equipped their protective gear with enchanted clothing. They were about to move when the beast in front of them disappeared and left no trace for them to track. Seconds went by and the feeling of being watched swallowed them. They could not move for fear of the beast attacking them.

All they could do was observe and use their senses to pinpoint their enemy.

The songs of birds had disappeared as well as the sound of the blowing breeze. All that was left was a quiet forest, to the point that all they could hear was their breathing and heartbeat. This terrible silence was unexpectedly broken by an unnatural roar.

Darkness surrounds them and a pack of magical beasts slowly emerges from the bushes.

"Where is the big one!" Casper said as soon as he saw that their main enemy was missing.

"Alya!" Apollo asked her

"I can't find it yet give me more time!" she answers though you can tell the panic that is slowly creeping in her heart.

"Focus!" Alicia just said seeing they are being surrounded by a pack of iron gray wolves.

These beasts are very fierce and with claws like razors, what is even worse they have an iron-like fur that can't be penetrated easily.

Those beasts then charged with great speed, forcing the students to take out their weapons.

"Get ready!" Apollo shouted, his voice had a hint of exhaustion from an unknown reason, though his fatigue was masked by his strength. He took out the sword that was included inside the survival kits and immediately swung it. His sword created an arc that soon blew the nearby trees and bushes.

"More are coming!" Alicia shouted and even when Apollo's strike was damaging it wasn't enough to kill any of their enemies. Their defensive fur was able to absorb the strike leaving them unscathed.

The pack moves and began to surround them, this force everyone to defend. Agnes uses her staff just in time to deflect the initial assault. The barrier gleamed with a faint blue light but strained under the constant onslaughts of the beasts.

Beside her, Niko and the others didn't lose their composure. However, there is a matter that made them concerned. It was Apollo, he was already out of breath when he merely swung his blade a couple of times.

With his situation like that Mckenzie and Blair step up to defend against the pack. Behind those two are Vesta and Arabella who are both prepared to cast any kind of assistive spell.

Mckenzie ground his teeth trying to fend off the pressure from the beast whom they still haven't located. Despite this, he channels his energy on his blade and immediately strikes the beast right in front of him. His hands might have trembled slightly but he didn't stop.

Though it is frightful to look at the very eyes of the beasts charging at them, it wouldn't be compared to the type of monster that hunted them for three years.

Blair swung a blade embodied in its enchantments, however, it was still ineffective against their enemies.

The battle was getting longer than anticipated and both Alicia and Apollo couldn't openly be attacked for fear of the high-ranking beast to strike.

"Just what is going on" she wondered and realized she must contact their professors.

"It's no use"

"What?"

As she was about to take out her communication device an exhausted-looking Apollo spoke to her.

"I already tried but there is something that is blocking him from contacting anyone"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

This made Alicia worried and was about to release her aura when Apollo stopped her.

"Not here, someone is watching us," he said as he took a potion to heal his weakened state.

"It seems the use of the spell Clonis got you now"

"Nah, it's not about that but I will tell you what is happening to me later...so for now..."

His voice began to sound different as sparks of lightning began to dance across his body.

"Let me take care of this" he added as a white ghostly silhouette zoomed across the area.

Meanwhile, the other classes face the same dilemma as the lower class.

"Duck!" Liam shouted, desperately casting a protecting magic spell over Sophia. His usually steady hands trembled, and his shield faltered uncertainly. The boy's face was pale, his eyes were filled with terror, the reason was that the beast's claws scraped close to his face sending shivers down his own legs.

"What the hell is going on" he weakly said while dragging his trembling body to the side.

The students were emotionally shaken by what was happening, the youngest in the group Emily was frozen. She had long been practising for moments like this, yet reality overwhelmed her. The growl of the beasts echoed within her head as she tried remembering all her spells but the mere gaze of the wolves left her motionless from fear and panic.

She thought she was gonna die not until a spell punctured the head of the wolf that was about to attack her.

"Move your ass!" Matilda's voice woke try girl from her panic while Arabella dragged her to safety.

"You okay?" she asked but all Emily could do was nod her head.

Upon the arrival of the lower class, the tables suddenly turn for the better. Not until another pack arrive to join the storm.

"Fall back!" Jillian shouted while Samael guarded her back.

"Everything is so weird now" he said and Jillian couldn't help but nod her head.

The young warriors fought bravely, but more and more fear seeped into their minds as the pack changed their patterns of attack.

Samantha's attacks went haywire because she was losing her confidence. Marcus's bolts of arrows went into trees instead of the wolves he was shooting. Liam's shields flickered so precariously that they were endangering failure.

"Stay together you jackass!" Matilda yelled though she could barely get the words out. She was annoyed they have to interfere but if they see the situation they can't really leave them to die.
