Ryan and Gwen were walking down the corridors. Ryan had already told Gwen about the announcement thing. They were heading towards the assembly hall.

"Why did you kiss me?" She asked on the way.

"I found it hard to resist," Ryan replied.

"You are the worst!" she kicked him in the shin bone.

< HP: 6/30 >

"For god's sake, Gwen stop hitting me! I do not know what happens if my HP reaches zero!" Ryan shouted.

"Oh, sorry." all the way to the assembly hall, they did not speak anything with each other. It was awkward now.

"Why is the population so less?" Ryan said entering the hall. Instead of seventy to eighty people in the hall, there were only ten to 20 people in the hall.

"Hey," Ryan heard Rigid calling him. Ryan lifted his two fingers and thumb sign as always, "Wondering why no one else is here?"

"Yeah, what happened? Why do I see only the top ten members here?"

"I wonder too. The announcement was made at least seven minutes before. Everybody is punctual about timing and if it's about a head general then by god they got to be right on time,"

"Yeah" their conversation stopped. They had nothing to talk about.

Ryan took a glance around the assembly hall. It was silent. Only a few guards were present there, not many students were present there apart from the top ten members. Ryan spotted Naomi and Devon talking about something far away from him so he decided not to disturb them.

He saw Doc standing with other teachers. He did not see Brandon and Atkinson. He did not even spot Pete, "I wonder what happened to him?" when he left the room, Pete was sleeping peacefully.

"Okay sir, we will go right now and check what's wrong." A guard bowed to Steve and went away through the exit door which connected the dorms and the assembly room.

The four guards entered the dorms. They started checking the rooms of every student. Some doors were locked, some were open.

"Every student is sleeping," they gathered on the VIP floor.

"Only the students who were in the VIP rooms are not in their rooms the rest of the students are still sleeping in their rooms."

"What do you think? Is not this strange?"

"It sure is. But everything seems just fine what would have possibly happened?"

"We should report this to Mr. Steve first." one of the guards said as he started connecting his earpiece, "Hello, sir?"

"Yes. what happened? Where's everybody?"

"Sir, every student is sleeping in their rooms. They are sound asleep,"

"What?! Do you even know how stupid it sounds?" the guard started blushing.

"I- I know, sir but it is the truth. Except for the VIP students, everybody is sleeping,"

"Then just wake them up!" Steve ordered gritting his teeth.

"Un- understood, sir." they hung up the call.

'They all are sleeping?' Steve thought. He took a glance at his watch, 'It's nine o'clock! And all of them? How's this possible? Did anything happened last night?'

"Tell me your mission was successful."

"Yes, lord it was. I mean, the first part of the mission was soon the second half will be too." Ainz replied.

"Good work. Hiring a blue portal user should not go waste,"

"It will not, my lord."

In a dark room with purple lights on, Ainz and Jackie were sitting in front of each other with a table between them. As usual, he was sitting on his Throne.

"How does it take for your Trait to work anyway?"

"It takes ten to fifteen minutes to activate. To get in work the way I planted it in them, it would take 24 hours."

"That's a lot of time,"

"Yes. I am working on improving my Trait."

"Are you sure you did not leave a single clue behind?"

"We made sure a few times, not just once. No bloodstains were left behind, no teachers even felt the slightest change in their Academy, no one was suspicious about us, no one saw us. Everything according to the plan."

"Twenty-four hours huh..." Jackie thought, "I never really thought about your Trait as it was mostly useless,"

"Lord..."

"I always focused on your fighting skills. But twenty-fours all of the students will be sleeping. Will not it be strange?"

"They should wake up by now and get going with their daily lives without doing anything suspicious," Ainz replied taking a look at the time.

"Well. we are waiting for that day then," Jackie grinned.

****

Before the guards could even wake the students, they were already awake. They got on with their daily lives. They were confused about what happened.

Guards guided them towards the assembly hall. They did not know what was going on. They were just following the guards' orders.

They reached the assembly hall. Although Steve wanted to investigate the situation he was not able to. Brandon was hurrying things because it was past the scheduled time.

"Welcome students, we do not know why you were sleeping till this late but as this is already embarrassing for us we would like to put an end to this topic." Steve started, "General Brandon haves an announcement for us,"

Steve moved aside. The students were still trying to settle down in the assembly hall. Ryan did not get any time to check on Naomi but he saw Pete come inside the hall with other students.

He felt assured that everything is alright. He stopped worrying about Pete.

Brandon took over the mic and started his speech. He welcomed everyone, then came to the main point.

"About our relocating." everyone got his attention, "we will be moving to Tokyo, Japan, Asia." they already know about this, "I have already told you to submit your consent forms but not a single student has. If you do not want to be punished or to be sent to detention then submit your forms before the lunch break," Brandon took a pause before adding the last sentence, "We will be moving to Japan on the 11th of June 2071. Which is the day after tomorrow. I hope you get your things packed before leaving the country."

There were different kinds of chittering and gossiping between the students after hearing Brandon's last words, "That's it from me. You are dismissed," Brandon walked away from the stage.

Ryan stood there without moving until Gwen pulled his arm. He came back to his senses.

'I need to talk with Naomi.' he thought.
