>By his side was both Fex and Quinn.
Layla had run up to greet them and the others were happy to see them as well.

By now, all of the students from Del ’s class had been checked up on.
They were now allowed to spend time with the other classes but news of what really happened to the class while they were out started to spread and the tension was felt in the air.

The reality of how dangerous this expedition was finally was starting to hit them.
Friends and students they had only talked to a few hours ago in the morning, were nowhere to be seen and they would ever be able to talk to them again.

Leo and Fay were busy discussing what to do next.
Although they were of the same rank Fay never felt that way and she decided she would agree with whatever Leo had decided.

”I have made my decision, ” Leo said.
”I ’m going to cancel the expedition and return to the academy. ”

”Are you sure? ” Fay replied.
”It ’s only been one day and not much ground has been covered.
Paul won ’t be happy with the decision.
Can ’t we just travel as one group and protect the kids.
Judging from what the travellers told us, the Dalki settlement seems to be abandoned. ”

”No! ” Leo replied immediately.
”When I went down there I could sense it.
There is definitely still something there and it ’s at least at the power of a four spiked Dalki. ”

Hearing this, Fay ’s eyes nearly popped out from her skull.
A shiver was sent down her whole spine and her hairs were left standing on top of her arm.

”We would need at least one of the generals here to try to deal with something like that, and even then I don ’t think they would be much of a match, ” Leo explained.

”I understand, if we explain this to Paul they should understand.
They might even remove every one of the planets and classify it as a red portal planet until further notice. ” Fay replied.

She had actually misinterpreted Leo ’s words.
For Leo had said there was something down there that had the same power as a four spiked Dalki.
But she had taken this to mean there was a four spiked Dalki.
Only Leo knew the truth, that the energy that was emitting from the being was one that was similar to both Fex and Quinn.

As Leo looked over at the two students, a thought soon planted itself in his head, ’Is there an actual threat right underneath our noses that is probably far larger than the Dalki? ’

All the students had been covered, on the muddy open soil area of the shelter which stood just before the jungle.
Leo had told all of them there would be an announcement to be made.

”I ’m sure by now you have all heard of the news that has happened to Del ’s class.
Because of this, we have decided to cancel the expedition and head back to the school, ” said Leo.

After hearing the news, some of the students felt a weight lift off their shoulders.
No longer were they in danger and had the thoughts of meeting such things.
The ones that were part of Del ’s class were even more overjoyed.

Still, this feeling of relief wasn ’t shared at all by everyone in the crowd.
Those who had done well on the test so far and had run into no troubles started to voice their concern.

”What?! ” A student complained as they looked around for support, ”But it ’s only been one day! That doesn ’t make any sense. ” Why should they go back?

”Stop being so selfish! ” Another shouted back at them.

It seemed like two camps had emerged of those that wanted to leave and those that wanted to stay.

”Enough! ” Leo shouted in a loud booming voice.
His voice had projected so loudly that some of the students felt like their eardrums would shatter.
They wondered how a man so small was able to produce such a loud sound.

The chatter had stopped but a single student still had his hand remained up.

”Yes, young one, ” Leo said.

”I don ’t mind having to go back early but I do have a question.
What does this mean for our assessment? Who got the top grade, and how will our scores be divided. ” The student asked politely.

”Your grades will be decided by how well you have done so far.
In the past, usually those that perform well on the first day, then would continue to perform well through the test.
I know this might not be really fair, but we will take this into consideration based on your performance on future assessments and adjust your result accordingly.

”As for Del ’s class, they will have an exemption due to the special circumstances they faced and will be tested at some other time.
Now the winners, I suppose at these types of events, we always like to promote those that did best so the other students know who to look up to as role models.
I shall decide the winners right now then. ”

After hearing Leo say this, many of the students that had done well on the assessment so far we ’re starting to get excited.
They would straighten out their clothes and make sure their hair was ready as they were to be called up to the front.

Fay walked over to where Leo was standing and tried to hand him over a clipboard with the scores of all the students points that had been received from the scanner.
Instead of taking the clipboard, Leo pushed it away and shook his head.

”There is no need, ” Leo said and glanced towards the crowd of awaiting students.

”The winners are as follows, so will these following students please come to the front? Vorden Blade, Layla Munrow, Cia Green, Pio Blank, Fex Seg, Logan Richardson and finally, Quinn Talen. ”
