"No, we can not let them participate in this competition. We do not know what they are capable of, "said Fedor. The other teachers around him seemed to agree. They had seen the damage caused by Hakyeon during the fire. They could not allow another accident especially during the stay of the students of Mystéria. "These are our students and like the others they have to learn to defend themselves so they must participate in this competition," Leo said calmly. Ken nodded his head. Lios seemed hesitant, he understood the anxiety of some and the feeling of others, moreover Mysteria who was an enemy school also had students of strong potential. What should he do? He touched his white beard and cleared his throat. "We're going to get them involved," he said. The other professors became angry. "How? You risk putting other students in danger. Moreover, who will dare to face them? We do not even know which category they belong to. They are neither elemental, nor power, nor transformist, nor gods "cried a woman. Lios raised his hand to calm them down. It is true that these four students did not belong to any group. He should therefore create a new group. "We will enroll them in a free trial. The objective of this competition is to evaluate the skills of our students by comparing them to students from another school. We must take advantage of this to evaluate the abilities of these students. Maybe we would find their strength at the end of this competition.» Said Lios. "You intend to let them discover by themselves which group they belong to?» Asked Fedor. "Yes," replied Lios. "In this case, it would take an opponent capable of beating them," said Fedor. "I think I can help you," said a man's voice. People turned to the voice. They found themselves in front of a tall man, wearing a fur coat surmounted by a wolf's head. "Caus, welcome to Fantasia," Lios said. The new man greeted the director of Fantasia and turned to the professors. "I heard you had phenomena this year in your school. We also found very talented students and I have someone to offer you for the competition, "said Caus with a smile.

Hakyeon watched the students clash before his eyes. They were grouped, and in each group a Fantasia student faced a student from Mysteria. He was told that the competition was going to last several days and at the end there would be a decision as to which of the two schools had won the competition. Fantasia had lost last year, so Hakyeon could understand the rage of the Fantasia students who wanted to win at any price this year. He did not think he could participate in this competition. He and his friends did not have a group, but Leo told him that they were registered in free competition. This meant that anyone could challenge them into a duel. Hakyeon did not know if he was able to fight and win. He had attended his professors' classes, but he could not say he was gifted. Hongbin, Hyuk and Ravi had made much progress especially Ravi. But for Hakyeon, he felt himself behind everyone. Sure, he knew now that he had something in him. Something that could produce flames. He also knew that he had become weird lately and that the students were fleeing him and his friends were worried about him. Besides, since Leo had saved him from a drowning, he spent his nights standing before the door of his room. Hakyeon could not remember what happened that night. Why was he in the water? Why had he lost the memory of almost a week of his life? He had asked his friends but nobody wanted to answer him. But Hakyeon felt that his friends were worried about him. Ravi now spent most of his time in the office of Ken, the personal development teacher. Hyuk and Hongbin were studying many of the books Leo gave them. They were organizing to stay beside him day and night. For Leo, he waited every night until Hakyeon fall asleep and he came to stand in front of the door of his room. How many times, Hakyeon had surprised him sleeping upright. The next day, Leo had dark circles under his eyes. He had obviously no sleep. After a few days, Leo had lost weight and was obviously very exhausted. Hakyeon had caught one of his conversations with Ken. " Let me help you. I can watch him while you go to sleep. You're exhausted, you will not be able to hold it for a long time, "said Ken. "No" was Leo's only answer. Since when had these two men become friends? Asked Hakyeon. Yet the situation continued until Hakyeon was fed up. He knew that Leo and his friends were acting for his safety, but why? Why should he be protected? Hakyeon did not know, but one night he got up and dragged Leo with him. He was tired of seeing him sleeping upright and lacking sleep because of him. Then Hakyeon had decided to sleep next to him. He went immediately under the blankets of his teacher's bed. Leo was shocked. "What ... what are you doing?" Leo asked. "Since you can not sleep without having me next to you, then I decided to sleep in your bed. You do not anymore have an excuse to sleep in front of my door and make this awful head every morning, so come to bed and sleep, "said Hakyeon. He turned to the side and fell asleep. Leo followed him after a few minutes of reflection. The next morning, it was Hongbin, Hyuk and Ravi's turn to be in shock at seeing Hakyeon's empty bed and the vicinity of the latter with his teacher in Leo's room. Hakyeon, when he woke up, did not comment, even though he noticed his teacher's fleeing eyes and the redness of his cheeks when he awoke. The next evening he returned to lie down in Leo's bed without asking his opinion, and found the reaction of his teacher very cute as he took off his t-shirt.
