The group continued to shield themselves, as the loud noise was still banging at the Ground.As it came to an end, Winter released her shield, as well as Moon to his force field.
"So this how the Overall Skill Selection works.." Lucas noted to himself.
Footsteps heard.
They all looked back to witness someone going towards them.
THUD! The girl that was supposed to go towards them fell onto the Ground! Lucas rushed to help her.
"Are you okay?!" Lucas panicked, as well as Moon and Doll. The rest of them went there to see who is that girl.
The girl looked pale. She has her hip-length, blue hair. She was bruised and exhausted.
----
"So that Ender has the power to control others with her loud noise?" Doll asked, sitting on a boulder along with the others.
The girl they met was still weak, and was still lying on their made-up bed. Moon and Ghaile were there near at her to treat her.
"We should check if the others were also okay.." Winter whispered.
"No! Let them be defeated! That way, we will win!" Lucas negated.
Everyone gazed at Lucas as if he said something very wrong.
"You will be safe if you follow me."
Lucas turned to where that sinister voice came from. Doll froze, as an old woman appeared before them.
The woman wore a long and hiding hoodies along with a long robe. It was like she was a witch, with her face hidden.
"Follow me," said the old woman. But this time, her voice was sweet and convincing.

Lucas, Doll and Winter stood in front of a huge building along with the old woman. Moon and Ghaile left to treat the girl from before.
"Come in." the old woman commanded. She entered the hall, so that Lucas and the others.
Inside, they can see only pure darkness.
The old woman smirked. "We can"t let go of people who threatens The Ender."
The door suddenly shot closed! Few candles lit one by one as if bulbs that was opened by a series of switches one by one as well.
The see a very detailed hall. The corners and the floor are intricately carved.
Old and traditional. That"s how the hall was designed and furnished.
Lucas and Doll was moved. Winter kept surveying the surroundings.
"It"s me, Winter Dawn!" Pea Hardsh.e.l.l suddenly came clinging on Winter"s left arm, wearing the same wardrobe.
Winter, shocked, can only moved aback. As Lucas and Doll shielded themselves with their fists, multiple hooded figures appeared, the same getup as the old woman and Pea.
The old woman smiled and released her hood, to reveal her old looking face. "You committed two sins," she said.
Lucas, Doll, and Winter were left shock. What"s happening in this selection?
"First, you possess a magic that was far too powerful that goes against The Ender." the old woman grimly revealed. "Second, you came here to destroy her!!"
Pea suddenly closed her fist, and armed a punching position at Winter. Winter leaned back and evaded the upcoming punch.
"Let"s play like the good, old days, Winter!" Pea s.a.d.i.s.tically smirked.
Lucas kept protecting himself, until all of the hooded figure revealed themselves by removing their hoods.
One by one, the selected partic.i.p.ants revealed themselves. All of the selected partic.i.p.ants except Lucas and his company were there! All wearing the white and witchy getup.
As the selected partic.i.p.ants lined up in front of Lucas, Doll and Ghaile, they suddenly cleared the way on their center, revealing a familiar looking girl.
It was that girl on the cliff last night! She wore the same uniform —the white and blue clothes.
She walked elegantly towards Lucas, Doll and Winter. "To be honest, I don"t care about the Tournament.. That"s just another evil." she said. "Someday, it will need to be tainted as well."
"But for now.." she continued, almost scaring the three. "I focus on you.."
Lucas, Doll and Winter slowly stepped back.
"Once I"m done with all of you.. White Day is all mine!"
Lucas felt his willingness to burn the girl in front of him. But he can"t be the same reckless from before.
The Ender faced Pea Hardsh.e.l.l. "I ordered you to bring everyone here.."
"I"m sorry, Ender." Pea bowed her head.
"Beast, Ever! Punish your eldest sister Pea!" The Ender shouted.
Doll and Winter are confident that Beast and Ever won"t harm their eldest sister, but they went ahead and kick their sister anyways, shocking them!
"Stop!" Lucas shouted, but Sting came crossing his way. The two stared at each other for a moment.

Doll seemed to be in despair on what"s happening. Winter kept her gaze on Light.
Doll covered her mouth, preventing herself to weep, saying, "W-Was it a bad dream..?"

"I was able to share this information because of Princ.i.p.al Lyns." the girl revealed to Moon and Ghaile. "Unbeknownst to you, she was inside The Ender"s body as her second persona."
Moon and Ghaile kept listening to what the girl is saying.
"For some reason, everybody is allowed to live for now," she continued.
Moon thought about Lucas. He maybe in danger..
"But everybody can be killed at any time depending on how The Ender is feeling."
