"Of course, darling, I'll convey your message to the man," she said with a playful giggle.

"Absolutely, my brave warrior," I responded, joining in the laughter. "But seriously, how do you manage to put up with him?"

Kate giggled. "Oh, you know Nathan. All bark and no bite, really. Just ignore him." She linked arms with me. "Now, how about we head back to the dorm and celebrate your awesome achievement? Top 10, Lyssa! That's incredible!"

The rest of the day unfolded in a whirlwind of girl talk. We sprawled on Kate's dorm bed, dissecting potential love interests, giggling over outrageous scenarios, and mimicking the instructors with uncanny accuracy. As the hours melted away, a sense of camaraderie and belonging settled over me. This strange place, with its challenges and mysteries, was also forging an unlikely friendship.

The following day, the routine starts anew. We prepare ourselves for another day of school, already wondering what tasks and challenges await us.

Determined to be punctual, we make sure to arrive on time. As we enter the classroom, we quickly take our seats, ensuring we're ready before the teacher steps in. The atmosphere is filled with a mix of anticipation and curiosity, each of us eager to see what the day will bring.

Today, a different teacher steps into the classroom, capturing everyone's attention.

"Good morning, students," she greets us warmly, her voice calm and steady.

"I have an important announcement for you all," she continues, pausing to ensure everyone is listening. "Today's classes are suspended because we have organized a mandatory task for everyone." Her expression remains serious, and the room fills with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension about what the day will entail.

This task feels like another hurdle to overcome. While it might bring joy to others, for me, it feels like a huge challenge to tackle. Sometimes, I wish I could just pretend it's not happening and maybe then I'd find some enjoyment in it too.

"Now, onto what we're doing—it's called "Tuesday's Treasure Hunt. We're going to organize an activity where we hide things for people to find. It's going to be a fun adventure!

The rules of the game are:

The game involves receiving clues that will guide you to specific locations. These clues are essential for finding the designated places.

Once all clues are gathered, the fourth clue will unveil the treasure's whereabouts. Upon successfully locating the treasure, the game concludes. It's essential to adhere to the rule that the game is exclusively played within the campus premises, with areas beyond the campus boundaries excluded from the game. Additionally, any violation of this rule may result in disqualification.

In this team game, the top ten players from each class quiz join forces to create teams.

Once the game kicks off, teams have a limited time of 58 minutes to complete the treasure hunt. It's like a race against the clock!

Success hinges on how well teams work together to solve the clues and find the hidden treasures scattered around the campus. It's all about quick thinking and sharp observation."The teacher informed

Knowing that this game involves teamwork is a huge relief for me. It feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. And the idea of teaming up with illusionists like Nathan? Well, that's pretty exciting! Nathan's illusions are ten times smarter than mine, which is pretty impressive. Imagining how we could work together to crack the challenges ahead is giving me a real buzz. It's like having a secret weapon on our side! This change in perspective is really boosting my excitement levels, and I can't wait to see how Nathan's clever illusions and our teamwork will play out in this game 

"Alright, everyone, gather with your teams and get ready," the teacher announces.

As we assemble, I notice Nathan's face, which seems to carry a hint of disappointment. I wonder why he's feeling grumpy. Could it be that he believes he's the only smart one here?

With the first clue now placed in my hand, I take a moment to read it aloud to our assembled group, setting the stage for our treasure hunt .

Clue 1 :-A very famous chemist was found murdered in the cafeteria today.The cops narrowed it down to six suspects.They know it was a two man job.Their names;Professor Felice,Professor Maxwell,ProfessorArchibald,ProfessorNicolas,ProfessorJordan and ProfessorXavier.A note was found with the body:26-3-58/28-27-57-16.Who are the killers?(Fine the next clue with the two killers.)

"Is this some kind of code? I mean, maybe the 26th number corresponds to the 26th letter of the alphabet," I suggest, trying to decipher the message.
