All the students had gathered in the auditorium just like they had been told and now they were waiting for the principal and other staff to show up.
Ace was expecting Luis to be back by now but it turns out the Angel was talking longer than he said he was going to take.
"Where could he possibly be?" Ace muttered, looking around.
He raised his watch and was about to send a message to Luis when he heard Ella's voice behind him.
"Hi, Ace," Ella said.
He quickly turned to see Ella behind him but she wasn't alone as she seemed to always have Silvia beside her.
"Ella." He said, dragging his voice a little before turning his gaze to Silvia. "Silvia."
"I thought Luis was with you," Ella said.
"No, he left when we were at the cafeteria and hasn't returned till then." Ace said.
"He hasn't returned till then?" Ella said with a surprised look on her face.
"Oh, you saw him leave." Ace said.
"Yeah, that was the time we arrived at the cafeteria," Ella said. "Do you have any idea of where he went?"
"Yeah, he…."
He wasn't able to finish saying what he wanted to say as he was interrupted by Kelvin's voice coming from all the speakers in the room and resounding in the room.
They all turned their attention to the raised part of the auditorium meant for addressing students to see Kelvin standing there with some of the staff behind him.
"Good morning everybody." He greeted everyone before he went straight to what he wanted to say.
"We are all aware that we will be leaving for Phoenix academy for the tournament which will kick off by next week.
"We were expected to leave by flight but there's a better way to get there on time. As we all know, teleportation isn't that developed enough to teleport many people between far continents at once without breaking down or something going wrong but my dear cousin seems to have found a solution to that."
After saying that Kelvin expected Michael to show up and demonstrate what he had just spoken about but the CEO was nowhere to be found.
"Nicole." Kelvin turned to her and called after looking around for a while without Michael arriving.
"Sir," Nicole said on getting closer to him.
"Where is Michael?" He asked.
"I don't know but let me give him a call." She said reaching for her bag which was hung over her shoulder.
She brought out her phone and was about to dial his number when white light appeared beside them and cleared up to reveal Michael and Luis.
"Hi, sorry for arriving late, I had something I needed to finish," Michael said as Luis quickly made his way down to where all the students were.
It didn't take him long to spot Ace as he quickly made his way to him.
"I knew you went to see Michael." Ace said. "What did he say?"
"Not now," Luis muttered to stop him from saying something stupid.
"Okay." Ace said.
"Were you helping him with the teleporter?" Silvia asked.
"Not exactly," Luis said, scratching the back of his head before turning his gaze to Ella.
"Hey." He said.
"Hey." She said with her eyes fixed directly on his face.
"Is there something on my face?" Luis asked, touching his face.
"No," Ella said, shaking her head. "Where did you go, I mean why were you in such a hurry, we saw you running out of the cafeteria?"
'And now you're talking to him like this.' Jasmine said.
Luis couldn't answer that question because Silvia was there and he was glad when Michael had called their attention to the side of the auditorium which had a white cloth covering something.
"I know some of you still remember this teleporter," Michael said as he pulled off the white cloth to reveal the teleporter that Van and the demons had been using to teleport demons from the demon world to earth.
"Isn't that the demon's teleporter?" Lennon asked.
"Nice job Lennon, you have a retentive memory," Michael said. "You see this teleporter unlike the ones we have here can travel really far distances without dropping someone in the middle of the sky.
"Get to the point Michael," Kelvin said.
"Okay, I did a little reconfiguration on the teleporter and disconnected it from the demon planet so now it should take the students and you all to Phoenix academy," Michael said.
"How sure are you that this won't lead us to the demon planet or drop us in the middle of the sky?" Lennon asked.
"I would have loved to do a little demonstration myself," Michael said, turning on the teleporter as a swirl of blue and white lights appeared in the middle. "But I have a lot of things to finish here and you know how long it takes to go from Phoenix to Crockel on a flight."
There was a little moment of silence between the staff as the students kept murmuring and Nicole walked up to Michael to ask him something.
"Are you sure this won't lead us anywhere dangerous?" She whispered to him.
"I'm sure it won't and if it does, I'll know," Michael said.
"Michael." She grumbled.
"Alright, I've tested it, it will take you guys straight to the gates of Phoenix academy," Michael said.
"Are you sure?" She asked.
"Yeah."
Nicole stared at him for a while before turning to Kelvin and nodding to him.
"Okay students, arrange yourselves in three lines according to your classes," Kelvin said.
The students did as they were told and quickly arranged themselves in three lines according to their classes.
"Are you sure this is safe?" Lennon turned to Nicole to ask as he was still having second thoughts about what they were about to do.
"Michael said he's sure of where it's going to lead us and Michael isn't one to play with people's lives," Nicole said.
"Okay," Lennon said.
The first-year students were the first to go through the portal and after they had gone through the second-year students followed before the third-year students.
The staff made their way into the portal after all the third-year students had gone through and now it was time for Nicole and Kelvin to make their way through.
"Give me a call when you get through," Michael said, giving Nicole a peck on her cheek. "Which will be in about two seconds."
Kelvin felt some kind of pain in his heart watching that happen and Nicole didn't know how to feel about it.
"See you later Couz," Michael said.
"Yeah, see you later," Kelvin said as the two made their way through the portal.
"I never knew you and Michael were dating," Kelvin said as soon as they had come out right in front of Phoenix academy's gate and behind their students.
'And you were never supposed to find out now.' She thought thinking of what she was going to do to Michael when he got here.
The sky was bright as ever in Phoenix city the capital of Phoenix which was where the academy was situated and the gate was really tall.
"I feel like the atmosphere here is better than the one back at Crockel," Luis said looking up.
"Yeah, it is," Ella said, also looking up.
It didn't take long before the gates opened up for them to see General Gary who had two soldiers standing by his side.
"Students of Crockel academy, welcome to Phoenix academy," Gary said.
