Chapter 230 Back On Time
Chapter 230 Back On Time
Michael had a confused expression on his face as he stared at the wall.
Nicole had her hand on his shoulder while holding Dylan's arm, she was expecting the usual white light to cover them as she saw Michael push the teleport button on his watch but that didn't happen.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"I don't know," Michael said as he adjusted the settings on his watch and pressed the teleport button but nothing happened.
"Is your watch broken?" Nicole asked.
"I don't think so, it looks okay to me," Michael said.
"Then why aren't we teleporting?"
Michael didn't say anything as he stored adjusting the settings on his watch and turned his gaze back to the wall.
He shifted to the side and blasted a little flow of wind at the wall, the wind bounced off the wall and returned to blow against his face.
"But how?" He muttered.
"Is that wall protected with shadow enchantment?" Nicole asked.
"Yeah but I don't know how," Michael said, still staring at the wall with a puzzled look.
'How did they even get their hands on so many shadow enchantment objects?'
"That means there's no way we can get in there," Nicole said, looking at the wall. "If they are protecting this place with this kind of thing then that means there must be something hidden there."
"Of course but we will have to come back later and find out," Michael said.
"Yeah let's go check out the next place on our list," Nicole said, placing her hand on Michael's shoulder.
"You can go back to your dorm room now Dylan, I'll pay you a visit later," Michael said as he pushed the teleport button.
Dylan stared at the spot where they had disappeared from for a while before turning to return to his dorm room.
The white light appeared in a part of the mountain where there seemed to be a lot of building apartments lined up in rows.
"So which one's his own?" Nicole asked.
"Just follow me," Michael said as he began to work toward the buildings.
The two walked in between the buildings and as they walked they could see people going about their normal daily activities.
They had finally approached the last building on the right as Michael walked into it and quickly made his way to the stairs.
Nicole followed him up to see him looking around trying to find the right door.
"So which one's his apartment?" Nicole asked.
"I don't know," Michael said, scratching the back of his head.
"You don't?"
"But I am sure this is the building where his apartment is," Michael said.
"So what do we do now? Open the first door and ask the
person living there if he knows which one's his apartment." Nicole said.
"That's not a bad idea," Michael said as he walked to the first door and knocked on it.
It didn't take up to a minute before the door opened to reveal a man with no hair on his head.
Nicole let out a sigh of relief internally as they meant they didn't have to knock at the other doors.
"What do I owe this visit, Nicole?" The bald man asked, ignoring Michael and looking directly at Nicole with a wry smile on his face.

The competition for the day was slowly coming to an end as only a few third-year students remained to battle each other.
After seeing some of the third-year students fight, some of the first-year students weren't feeling so confident in facing them.
Especially those that had knocked their opponents with crazy skills but unlike most of his mates Luis was really excited.
He was curious to face the third-year students and see if he would be able to beat any of them that made it to the second round of the competition.
He was also curious about the quests his system might give him and the juicy rewards that may be attached to them.
The current fight in the arena had come to an end as the girl in the arena had knocked her opponent back with a large piece and then controlled the same piece of earth to smash her down.
The selection process began again as the students had their eyes glued to the screen.
The first image that had stopped was that of a boy with hair so long it was completely covering one part of his face.
The second image stopped to reveal the image of Rodney.
Brad and Brolin had worried expressions on their faces now as they looked at the image but George still had a deep frown on his face and it looked like his eyes were beginning to twitch.
"The next fight will be between Diego Magdon and Rodney Olel." Lieutenant Kate said.
Diego walked close to the earth pillar and was brought down by it but there was no sign of Rodney.
"Where is Rodney Olel?" The Lieutenant asked.
'These guys must surely know something about where Rodney is.' Jacob thought, looking at Brad, Brolin, and George.
Luis, aware that he was the reason why Rodney wasn't here, didn't feel guilty about it in any way.
He was the one who had tried to kill him so why would he feel guilty for doing something similar to him, besides he was in the clinic now.
'Don't let those feelings take over you Luis, you don't have to judge everything like that.' Lena said.
'Then how am I supposed to judge things?'
"If Rodney doesn't show up here in the next five minutes Diego will automatically make it to the next round and he will be eliminated." Lieutenant Kate said.
"Where is Rodney?" Pearl said, looking in the direction where George was standing.
Ella pulled Luis' ear closer to her mouth to whisper something to him.
"Did you leave Rodney in the woods?" She asked.
"Yeah."
"What?"
"But he's in the clinic now."
"Are you sure?" Ella asked.
"Yeah, I would have gone back there now to check him if I wasn't sure," Luis said.
"Ok," Ella said, letting go of his uniform.
'Those two.' Silvia thought.
"There's no sign of Rodney yet." Lieutenant Kate said. "Diego advances to the next round while…."
She couldn't finish that sentence as a voice was heard coming from the entrance.
"Wait!" Rodney shouted as he rushed into the arena, I'm still here."
"After you had succeeded in wasting our time." Lieutenant Kate said.
"I'm sorry, I had an injury and was at the clinic," Rodney said.
"Injury, clinic, how?" Jacob was confused as he couldn't seem to put Rodney's words together or make anything out of them.
"Alright get on that pillar quickly you have wasted a lot of our time." Lieutenant Kate said.
Before walking to the earth pillar he turned to the side to catch Luis looking at him and at that moment both of them had locked eyes.
