[The day of university intramurals]

10 A.M

Before university intramurals started. Terrance thought we would look and search James Sebastian on campus so we had to separate so we could find James Sebastian's location immediately.

Terrance and Benjie patrolling in the southeast area of the university, where the outdoor sports event will be held.

Location: University grass field stadium.

Jelai is in the western area of the university, where the indoor sport activity of the university intramurals will also be held there.

Location: University sports complex.

Gun was patrolling in senior high school department (eastern area of the university), where indoor skills ability competitions such as debate, painting, quiz bee will be held.

Location: University AVR.

and lastly, Kaito and I are here in the northern area of the university, where the main entrance gate of the university is located, and also on the northern area of the university are locations of the university fair booths such as the photo booth, intramurals souvenir booth, and many others.

And while I was with Kaito here in the northern area of the university, we suddenly saw Kevin's camera drone patrolling the above of the university.

At this moment, Kevin's location is on the rooftop of the basic education building of the university, where he can easily see the northeast and southeast areas of the university using his camera drone.

I don't know how Terrance came up with this plan but I was amazed at his intelligence about planning because, at this moment, we are patrolling the whole campus at the same time.

While Kaito and I were patrolling in the northern area of ​​the university I thought of asking him why he chose to come with me rather than his boyfriend Benjie.

"When I was with Benjie, I can't concentrate on what I am doing that's why I chose to join you here in the northern area of the university." (Kaito said to me as he drinks his milk tea.)

"You can't concentrate? It does mean that you really love my stupid ex-boyfriend?" (I said to Kaito.)

At that moment, Kaito suddenly smiled slightly but I could see in his eyes that he was still worried for Benjie.

"What is the meaning of love, if I can't protect him from people who have bad intentions towards him and even, I'm trying my best to save Benjie... my best isn't enough, I was so frustrated to myself being so weak." (Kaito said to me with a pissed face.)

"But the fact that you are doing your best to save Benjie is enough proof that you are strong... everything happens for a reason and I hope you and Benjie have a bright future." (I said to Kaito with a smile.)

While Kaito and I talking about Benjie... Kaito suddenly noticed something strange.

"Why are so many students entering here at the northern entrance gate of the university?" (Kaito.)

"I think just because the northern area of the university is where the main gate of the university also this area is the main locations of the university booths." (I told Kaito.) 

"But this university has four entrance gates." (Kaito said to me.)

As I recall. This university has four entrance gates, the northern, southern, eastern, and western entrance gates, and right now, Kaito and I are in the northern gate where the main entrance gate of the university is located. Often, other students use other entrance gates so they can easily get to their respective course departments.

because of this strange incident that we encounter. Kaito immediately used his walkie-talkie to contact Kevin.

[Walkie-talkie communication turn on]

"Kevin, can you send your camera drone to the other entrance gate of the university?" (Kaito asks Kevin using a walkie-talkie.) 

 "Okay, Kaito, copy." (Kevin said to Kaito using a walkie-talkie.)

While Kaito and Kevin were talking on the walkie-talkie, I suddenly look at the university digital bulletin board.

As I looked at the university's digital bulletin board, I noticed something strange. 

 [3:19 minutes left before the showering of confetti.]

"Showering of confetti?" (I suddenly ask myself as I stare at the university's digital bulletin board.)

After two minutes, Kaito immediately approached me and said, "Kevin told me that the other entrance gate of this university was closed." 

 "What does this mean?" (I asked Kaito.)

"But it's so weird that the main entrance gate was the only open of this kind of special event." (Kaito said to me as he keeps looking at the university map on his phone.)

"I think there's nothing wrong with that." (I said to Kaito.)

"But Kevin told me while he was patrolling his camera drone on the other gates, there's no security officer was guarding the other entrance gate of the university, and just like here on the northern area of the university, there was no security officer guarding the main entrance gate and as you can see, the student inspector is the one who guarding the main entrance gate of the university." (Kaito said to me.)

"Can you contact and ask Third Alcantara about this weird situation why is there no security officer here inside the university on the day of the university intramurals." (I said to Kaito.)

"I can't contact Third at this moment because there's a signal interruption shutdown within the university, for unknown reason before university intramurals day, the school administration announced that there was a shutdown signal inside the university, so Gun gave us a walkie-talkie so we can communicate." (Kaito said to me.)

"If we can't contact Third, we will just look for him to ask why there was no security officer on the day of the university intramurals." (I said to Kaito.)

"Third is in the hospital now with Irene, they are watching over Joseph's condition so Third decides to off duty as a student inspector on the day of the university's intramurals." (Kaito said to me.)

"Wait!.. what!... why is James Sebastian's younger brother in the hospital?" (I asked Kaito.)

"When Joseph found out the whole truth about his older brother's past it caused a nervous breakdown due to shock and depression so Joseph had to stay in the hospital for five days to observe his condition." (Kaito.)

While Kaito and I were talking, the university's digital bulletin board suddenly countdown rang.

At that time, a strange number suddenly appeared on the screen of the university's digital bulletin board.

[20-8-5]

[7-1-13-5]

[15-6]

[3-8-5-19-19]

[6-9-14-1-12-12-25]

[2-5-7-9-14]

At that moment, the main entrance gate suddenly closed for an unknown reason and when the strange numbers popped up on the screen of the university bulletin board, suddenly there was colorful confetti falling from the rooftop of the administration building.

"Is this is a sign that university intramurals are about to begin?" (I ask myself as I touch the colorful confetti falling from the sky.)

While other students were happily watching the confetti falling into the sky, a strange frequency wave sound suddenly came out from the university announcement speakers and this weird sound was heard throughout the campus and the students throughout the campus were alarmed and started panicking.

After a minute, the strange sound suddenly disappeared but Kaito and I were surprised when we heard a robotic voice coming from the university announcement speaker.

[University announcement speaker] (Robotic voice)

"Hello to my fellow students... did you enjoy the opening ceremony of this year's university intramurals?.... don't worry my fellow students because this year university intramurals become more memorable because there's a special game event held by our school administration."

"Special game?" (students as they are startled.)

[University announcement speaker] (Robotic voice)

"Yes, you heard it right my fellow students...there will be a special game for us and this game called bounty hunter and if you want to join this special game event of our university, please look and check the university digital bulletin boards."

Note: Bounty hunter is a person who hunts wild animals in order to collect a reward offered for killing them.

And when Kaito and I looked at the university digital bulletin board we were surprised by what we saw.

Kaito and I were suddenly surprised when we saw our faces were digital university bulletin board. 

"What is this? Why are our faces on the screen of the university digital bulletin board? and why they use one of my ugliest photo!" (Dianne.)

"TSK!!! damn it!" (Kaito.)

[University announcement speaker] (Robotic voice)

"My fellow students, do you see the faces came out from the digital university bulletin board? The level 1 rules on this game are simple, you need to catch them and lock them somewhere within this university... the reward for anyone who can catch them will be exempted from the upcoming midterm examination and final examination."

At that time, all the student on the northern area of the university suddenly fiercely stared at Kaito and I.

At that moment, the other student slowly approaches while they surrounded Kaito and I.

As the other student action so weird,  there's a group of students suddenly came out from nowhere, a group of student wearing a weird mask.

"Kaito, what are we going to do?"  (I ask Kaito as I holding his shoulder.)

At that moment, Kaito and I didn't know what to do but unexpectedly, a mysterious person wearing a mask suddenly grabbed Kaito's hand.

At that moment that mysterious person suddenly takes off his/her mask..... Kaito and I suddenly surprised what we saw.

"Irene!  what are doing here?"  (Kaito asks Irene.)

"No time for explanation.... just following me."  (Irene said to Kaito as she holding a brown folder with a logo of the university.)

At that moment, the three of us immediately ran and followed Irene while other students tried to chasing us.

To be continued...
