Ray yawned as he woke up from his bed, for some reason the knights didn't wake them up by banging pots together so Ray slept well.

Ray's eyes fluttered open and he sighed softly.

He stood up from his bed and stretched his body and smiled happily, his roommates were still on their bed and they were sleeping peacefully so Ray didn't disturb them.

Ray opened the door to their room to see what was happening but all the other rooms in the hallway were open.

"Why are all the rooms opened" Ray mumbled.

Ray walked over to the room in front of him and looked inside, the students were gone, he visited two more rooms close to him, and the students were also gone.

"Morning training!!!"

Ray rushed back to his room and woke his roommates from their sleep.

"Hey guys wake up" Ray shouted as he touched Leia and Sofia, then he walked over to Ivan and smirked before slapping his face.

"What's wrong" Ivan shouted as his body jerked up, Ivan quickly turn to look at the person that slapped him but he slipped and fell to the ground.

Ivan was already close to the edge of his bed so he easily slipped and his bed was above Ray's bed so he landed on the ground.

Ray chuckled as Ivan woke up, Ivan looked over to Ray with bloodshot eyes and Ray moved back a little.

"Ouch...Why did you hit me?" Ivan sneered as he stood up from the ground.

"All the students are gone, we are late for morning training" Ray spoke.

"Is it time for morning training, how did we sleep for so long?" Leia said as she quickly got out of bed.

"We should go now," Ivan said because he knew the punishment for waking up late is to run around the field.

Four of them quickly ran through the hallway, all the doors were opened as they ran past the rooms then something caught Ray's eyes making him stop.

"What's wrong?" Ivan asked as Ray stopped and entered Lily's room, the three of them went back to see why Ray was there.

The beds in the room were upside down, and the room was scattered. The three of them looked around in surprise.

"Girls...look at how filthy they made their room" Ivan snorted.

"What do you mean by that" Sofia turned towards Ivan.

"Ohh... I'm not talking about you. You know you are the most beautiful girl in the world" Ivan spoke in a sweet voice as he touched Sofia's cheek.

Sofia blushed and smiled brightly and both of them giggled, Ray and Leia stare at both of them.

*Cough*

Ray cleared his throat and both of them turn towards Leia and saw her face, immediately Sofia stepped away from Ivan.

"We should go, something isn't right," Ray said and they all ran outside.

The four of them knew something was wrong when they passed through the dining hall and no one was there, not even the chefs were present.

The four of them finally arrived outside, piles of snow covered all the grounds outside and the weather was chilly.

The group had to fold their arms together so they could warm themselves a little.

"Where is everyone?"

"Where could they have gone" Ray shivered as he spoke.

"Maybe we should check each of the classes" Ivan suggested.

"You really think the knight academy would be this empty, there is something wrong," Leia said.

"We should at least check, we can't just conclude that everyone has gone missing overnight" Sofia spoke.

"We should have brought weapons," Ray said making all three of them look at him.

"Why would we need weapons, it's not like the academy was attacked," Ivan said.

"Wait...what if the academy was attacked, that would explain the room and why Lily's room was scattered" Ray spoke almost immediately.

"There's no way the academy would be attacked and everyone would be taken except us," Leia spoke.

"You are just trying to make excuses as to why her room was filthy" Ivan sniggered.

"Guys, staying here and arguing won't do any good, we should move around" Sofia shouted.

"...This cold is frightening," Ivan said in a low voice.

"I think we should go back and take our coats, then we can search around"

"Good idea..."

The group ran back inside and each of them wore their coat before coming back outside, each of them also grabbed weapons just I'm case.

"We should check the swords class first, it's closer"

"Okay..."

The group walked in the snow towards the swords class building, the snow was thick so they couldn't move fast.

"We should leave, our mission is over" a voice spoke.

"Master is coming to pick us up, we should wait" another voice answered.

The group stopped immediately as soon as they heard the voices and immediately stopped, they were close to the door of the swords class and the voices were coming from within.

"Intruders..." Ivan whispered in a barely audible voice.

"There are only two, we can take them" Ray whispered and the four of them got ready.

"Now..."

The four of them jumped in front of the door and pointed their weapons toward the Intruders speaking.

"A-Are these elves?" Ivan spoke in shock as the four of them stare at humanoid creatures with long ears.

Ray was surprised because the Intruders in front of them were nothing like the elves he normally saw in comic books.

The creatures were short, none of them were above Ray's waist, they wore sport-pointed caps, warm suits with white, fluffy trim, and pointed boots and all their clothes were green.

"Wait...do you work for Santa Claus?" Ray asked eagerly.

"How do you know" the elves quickly asked back.

"Do you know them? And who is Santa Claus?" Leia asked.
