Chapter 292 - Small Villiage (1/2)

The second group of students started to wander out from their original location. Flynn the professor, took the lead while Blake and the other upper-class student stayed behind him. At the back of the group were Bliss and Van.

They currently were walking along a pathway that was in between the forest, they chose to do this instead of going through the forest. They felt like it was easier to see each other and less chance of encountering beast's this way.

All of what was the Shadow continent territory, once belonged to the humans as well. When the student's walked through the path they starting to understand that. Every so often they would see something that reminded them that there once was human's living here.

Including the path they were currently walking on.

Off in the distance on top of a hill was a windmill but it had been severely damaged and was no longer working.

As they continued to walk, Bliss started to look at the students around her. Van standing right next to her was in no condition to talk and wasn't really much of a fighter in the first place according to the others.

The professor who most of the students were relying on looked just as nervous as the lower-class students, which meant the only reliable people in the group was Blake and the person standing next to him.

And if she had to rely on Blake in this group, she knew they were in a bad situation. This was not a good group of people to be with.

”If only Nes was here?” As she caught herself say those words, she couldn't believe that she was starting to rely on him. But thinking back, even though he did seem a little scary, for some reason if he said everything would be okay or he would sort it out you believed him.

Just then the professor up ahead came to a stop. They had reached a little village with a well stationed in the middle and small houses placed around it. The houses looked a little worn down, but most of them were kept in good shape.

”Why don't we take a break in the village square?” Flynn said.

The group of students sat around the well like shape that here surrounded by houses. Although they hadn't travelled far, a lot of them where mentally tired walking through the shadow continent. Whenever they looked at the forest, they felt like something could come out at them any second.

”How are we going to get back to the academy?” A student asked.

”Once we meet up with Professor Springett she will be able to create a magic circle for us to go back,” Flynn answered.

The student's seemed to be satisfied with the answer. It gave them hope that at least they could return.

But Bliss, Blake and the other Upper-class student didn't feel the same way. To power something that would be able to take all the students at once, they would need an incredible amount of mana. Similar to the beast crystal that brought them here.

While the other students were chatting and casually relaxing, Blake decided to go off and scout out the buildings around them. To be honest he just wanted to get away at seeing the frightened look on the students faces.

Every time he saw them in fear, he felt a little pain in his heart. This was called guilt.

He entered one of the houses and it was dark inside, he took a deep breath and sighed. ”When I get back, I promise you will pay for this Del.”
