Suddenly Leon could see everything that was happening in slow motion. He didn't know why or how, but to him it definitely feels strange.

He could see the monster that was coming up to him. He could see their attacks even before it happens... He somehow dodged all of their attacks and threw a punch at the horde of monsters coming towards him.

The impact of the punch instantly took out the horde of monsters coming towards him, causing an explosion to happen.

'Whao, is this how strong I've become? No. I wasn't this strong to begin with.... even though I was holding back in the duel between Karl and I. Or even the one between big brother Brandon and I....' (Leon)

Leon pondered to himself about what he'd done. He couldn't believe how strong he had gotten, or that he started seeing in slow motion.

"Hey captain, are you okay? Stop staring into space and let's continue fighting!" Scott called out to Leon, asking him a question.

"It's nothing. I was just deep in my thoughts, don't worry about me." Leon came back to reality and answered Scott.

"Alright, if you say so!"

After Scott said that, he dashed towards some monsters advancing towards them. And as he hits the monsters one after another, they all burst into flames.

Although Scott's flames are invisible, it seems that it works like an ordinary flame.

Emma and Alice also joined the fight against the horde of monsters. Emma create an gauntlet out of the earth to protect her hands and pushed the ground, causing a massive shockwave, and shock the ground.

Alice also used her special ability on the monsters.

Some time later, the monsters were reduced by a whole much, and the only ones that were remaining was the much more bigger and stronger ones.

But the one thing that was looming in the back of everyone's mind was "how long would our magic last?" Although it was a VR world, it still works like the real one...

"So, what are we going to do? These monsters looks really strong..." Scott's face had a scared look on it.

"Yeah, what are we going to do... I don't want to die."

"They looks so strong, stronger than the ones we'd defeated earlier..."

"Uh, are we going to die...."

Everyone asked Leon on what they should do. Everything seems so stressful to him.

Like the strange thing that happened to him, like the strange "power" he had been given.

"I don't know. Everything is stressful to me... I think I can't do anything..." Leon responded to his teammates questions.

"What the hell are you talking about? Are you leaving us to die..."

"Are you saying that you're going to give up just like that?!"

Both Emma and Scott asked Leon upon hearing that he didn't know what they should do.

"You don't expect me to sit down and watch us die? I don't accept that!"

"Yeah! We can't die just like this. We're still in the middle of a game!" Alexis reminded them.

As the monsters got closer to the children without showing any signs of slowing down. Not just any ordinary monsters, they were much more bigger ones. Everyone began backing away into the forest, as the monsters tried to harmed them.

"Everything just got a lot more worse... Why?"

'Everything just got a lot more worse than I'd expected. Even if we all uses our magic throughout the battle, we wouldn't last that long....' (Leon)

"L, Leon what is your plans now? A, are we going to die?" Alice asked Leon as she had a sad look on her face.

"Everything will be alright, Alice. Just wait until I come up with something."

'Since these remaining monsters seems to be much slower than the ones we fought earlier, I think it's fine for us to run away and try to escape from them...' (Leon)

"Alright, I think we should run away before the monsters caught up with us." Leon gave his suggestion to his teammates.

Upon him saying that, all eyes were on him. They were looking at him with wide eyes and with a confused look on their faces.

"First you encouraged us to stay and fight, then when things are getting interested you want us to run away!" Scott started to complain to Leon about what he'd said.

"Not cool."

"This sucks...."

"....."

But before anything else happened, a bright light flashes in their faces and they found themselves back in the VR training room.

"Uh, what happened? Where are we?" Samuel asked.

Everyone was shocked upon seeing them back in the VR training room. Suddenly all of the scientist people came up to the students.

"Welcome back, students. I'm sorry that we had to end your game early, the thought of you guys getting killed made you teacher feel bad..."

One of the scientist people said to all the students. They didn't say anything, but they just kept quiet.

"The VR world is dangerous right now, so that why we decided to bring you out of the VR world," the scientist guy said to the students. "I know that if you guys died in the game you won't die in real life. But it wouldn't hurt to be cautious, hehehe!"

"Please be patient with us. Wait until we get the game fixed and then we'll put you back into the game." Another scientist person spoke up.

'Thank God! Everything worked out and we got out of there...'

When everyone tried to get up their bodies were exhausted and in pain, especially for the children who were in the Blue team.

"Uhhh.... Everything feels so weird..."

"I feel sick..."

And thus, after waiting for them to recover, the students decided to return to their dorms and not continue with the game.

It was afternoon after school was done for the day. And they returned to their dorms feeling exhausted and in lots of pain.

'I wonder what happened to Leon during school...?' (Liam)

Liam pondered to himself when Leon entered their room...

"Dude, are you okay? Hold on, don't do anything rash!" Liam went to look after his roommate who'd just entered their room looking bad...

"I think the test today was a success. Even though we had some troubles." The leading scientist guy said with a smug smile on his face.

"Certainly, the test for the demo stage of the VR simulation went successfully."

"With that said, we can begin working on the Simulation N22, and give it to the Imperial Armed forces!"

"Of course, we'll start working on it right now!!"

Thus the scientist people began working on their project simulation.
