The students disdained those leftover students who blindly followed another instructor and 'betrayed' their student camp, but others thought the opposite.
Some groups of contestants who had all their students intact in the group looked at Ainsley's mighty army, and they all considered whether to ask for cooperation or something silently.
It might be difficult to ask to merge the group into an even bigger group, but cooperation between more than one group should be possible, no?
But it was already quite late at night, and it was impolite if they went to the other party's territory at this time.
Thus, other contestants and their groups secretly vowed to approach Ainsley's 50-people group early in the morning instead.
Early in the morning, before the sun rose on the horizon, Ainsley and the other adults had already woken up.
It was not because they were used to waking up early or anything, but because as people with a high-level ability, they were somewhat sensitive to many changes.
This morning, around four o'clock, when the sky outside was still dark, the seven people in the music hall abruptly felt some kind of strange, nauseating energy from far away.
The discomfort happened so suddenly, and all seven people felt it was just a sense of powerlessness for a few seconds, and then the surrounding felt so suffocating.
It was as if there was something stinky or rotten invading the air around them, making the air quality so bad that they could not breathe.
Then, following that feeling, there was a sudden burst of energy in a faraway land, as if it had never happened in this world.
However, that burst of energy instantly sent out a wave of scorching air, which also irritated the skin to the point of causing irritation and many other skin problems within just a few seconds.
The burst of hot air was only a few seconds, and soon, chilling energy slithered out from somewhere out there, far away, but also near.
This feeling was similar to when the underworld gate was opened, and the hell gate was opened, but this time, the discomfort didn't make people go mad or become evil.
The side effect only made people feel nauseous, and one would feel as if their whole body was being eroded by something filthy.
This feeling was not as dangerous as the one when the hell gate or the underworld gate was opened, but it felt far more disgusting than the previous events.
It was as if the whole body was being submerged in an ocean of corrosive liquid, which not only corroded the body and the mind, but also entangled people tightly.
The sense of irritability surged up, and somewhere in the mind, this strange feeling always induced people to go mad.
Ainsley and the others immediately woke up with a cold sweat all over their body and they immediately found each other.
The seven people, who were already soaked in their own sweat and even their faces were as pale as paper, gathered at the center of the music hall with only small candles as their source of light.
Seeing the grim faces of the teammates, the seven people immediately deduced what had just happened.
The series of strange feelings didn't last long, less than a minute, but one minute felt like a century, so much so that the timid ones would have fainted on the spot.
Even the plant-tamer girl still had difficulty in breathing, and her breath was heavy and chaotic.
It was as if she was about to get a heart attack and die.
Ainsley looked at the faces of her teammates and slowly opened her trembling lips.
"That...that strange feeling before...is the Abyss already open?"
Ainsley's voice, which was usually cute and crisp, suddenly became hoarse and dry, really as if her voice was drained overnight.
The other teammates also had hoarse voices as they spoke up one after another.
"It must be the abyss. I have not felt anything like this before, which is similar to when the underworld and the hell gates were opened in the new century war six months ago."
"That feeling is only fleeting, and I think the students didn't feel anything wrong, so the abyss that had just opened must be far away from our place."
Maybe it was the one abyss that was the farthest from their civilization.
After all, the academy told them that there were four gates suspected to have broken seals that would soon open up.
One of them being the most remote one, far away from any hustle and bustle in this world.
But the other three were all near civilization.
One was near the Beast Continent that included the Beastmen, the dwarf and the elf territory.
There was also the Merfolk that would be disturbed because this Abyss Gate could also be connected to the sea.
The most remote gate might also have some connection to the sea, and there were indeed some abyss demons who were actively moving in the water.
Then, the third gate was the one on the recently popular Pandora Island.
Many big guilds built their guild branches there, so when the abyss gate over there opened up, there should already be reinforcements from various guilds all over the world.
Many private forces and organizations from the human continent would also gather there because the non-human would take care of the abyss gate near the non-human territories.
As for the World Union, they would take care of the remote gate while also helping many human countries, preventing any beast and monster tide.
The whole world was moving, and only the low-level ability users plus ordinary people were still not informed of the possible apocalypse yet.
