A large territory with large trees, a humid atmosphere and exotic plants.
Rain Forests were known for being home to a range of creatures and a giant RainForest wasn't any less.
If there were any differences, however, it would be in their sizes.
The visitors gasped in shock at the sight of the hawk as it was smashed into the trees.
Partly because of its sudden appearance and mostly because of how it was taken care of.
Raph and Elsie watched in silence, tense at the sight before them when Raph felt a tap behind him.
Without turning back, the figure poked his head to his side, a mischievous smile on his face.
"I assumed you weren't going to talk to me, Darrell?"
"Hah? You already knew it was me?" Darrell asked as he pulled through the crowd and stood next to him.
They were mostly surrounded by their classmates who were intrigued at the event but a few others were from other classes.
"I can detect every living thing around me....it would be weird if I couldn't distinguish your Elven mana from the rest".
Darrell chuckled at his statement as he glanced at Elsie. "Hey Elsie, been a while".
"....yeah" she replied with an awkward smile.
"What's Jane up to? They should be halfway through by now". Raoh asked as their attention was drawn to the screen.
The participants seemed to have chosen different parts. The tree branches.
They were large enough to be mistaken for a bridge and sturdy enough for all seven of them to land on them.
Some were even in heavy Armour like Rana in her paladin Armour, but all that weight didn't amount to much in the Giant RainForest.
"He's doing what he can. I'm sure you chose Jane to lead the group and Zara to identify the treasures and their hiding spots....the rest are mostly for defence and attack. They'll be fine".
"I'm not worried about them finding the treasures..."
Raphs gaze shifted to the participants of the other classes, a slight intrigue in his expression.
Everyone had a tale to tell and a story behind their strength, but what he saw right now with his eyes had left him puzzled for a while.
The members of Group Silver included Ruth Balsey and Monica Starborne themselves.
The others included Richard Drugge, Ivan Matarly and Natalya Skatewood. Two were mages, and one was a Priest, with Richard and Ivan being the strongest at level 30 and Natalya being their Healer at level 29.
Now, these weren't the bizarre occurrences that caught his attention, but rather the other two members he had just got to know of.
Andrej Neubon, a level 50 Beast Knight and Tomaz Lonstar, a level 55 Warlock.
Despite being a student in the academy and having a past life, he had not even remembered seeing these two in his set.
'If there were people like them in my Past life, then I should have known them....they're too strong for their age to not be unknown'.
He thought as he folded his hands, his thoughts reaching a deep contemplation.
Elsie noticed his sudden change in mood, despite his expression remaining the same and endeavoured to ask.
"What's wrong Hubby?"
He flinched and turned to her while Darrell narrowed his gaze, and remained in his position.
"What do you mean?"
"You seem lost in thoughts..."
Just then, Andrej walked up to the front of the group, placing his hand on Monica's shoulder and causing a sudden change in the atmosphere.
The students gathered turned towards him in unison, glaring at him with furious expressions.
The boy chuckled lightly and shifted away from Monica. Find exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire
"I just wanted to ask, but won't class Gold be aware of this too?" He said with a wry smile.
He had droopy ash-coloured eyes, which seemed to go well with his Light brown hair, and a lax expression, which only further annoyed the others.
"Didn't I tell you, Andrej? We aren't welcomed yet. We should remain good little boys like the Class Monitor said and stay at the back".
Monica slowly turned her gaze to the blonde male with blue eyes, a scowl forming on her face.
"If you knew that, then you should have stayed at the back". She said to Andrej.
"Well, I would have if only you didn't consider the Gold Class upstaging you once again. What if they are already aware of this information? ".
"They've never upstaged us in the first place! And this is information their greedy hands could never get" Ruth cut in with a sharp tongue, her patience slowly running thin as she reached the Sword around her waist.
Richard sighed, his gaze wavering between the people gathered.
Unlike the image they were made to portray in public, the class members of Class One Silver were quite appalled with their existence.
It didn't matter if their goals aligned with theirs, or if they shared the same hatred towards the Great families and the Gold Class as they did.
Both of these figures were introduced into their Class on a random day, causing a stir of resilience within the class.
Alas, their opinions didn't matter as it was ascertained by the Principal.
"We don't have all the time in the world, guys. Let's just focus on getting the treasures..."
Just then a loud tick sound like a digital clock echoed in the air.
This caught their attention as they looked up at the sky and read the information written on it.
This was the same magic used to project the timer in the air and served as a form of notice board.
It read, boldly.
Amount of Accumulated Points
Class One Gold- nil
Class One Silver- nil
Class One Bronze- 500
The group of seven stared in shock for a moment before Monica snapped out of the surprise and continued to lead the way.
"Focus people! Let's not get so focused on the Gold Class that we forget about the Bronze! They are as much of a threat as they are".
Her classmates hurried after her, Andrej and Tomaz lingering behind them.
"Class One Gold hasn't started?"
"Seems like it. They probably have a plan of theirs as well". Tomaz replied as they walked after the group slowly.
"I'm thinking we might class with them, or should we slip up and go find him ourselves?"
Tomaz chuckled lightly. "Why are you in a rush? We have two hours until the end of the festival. We can kill him within the time limit".
Andrej remained silent after that, his thoughts reeling in as they hastened towards the group at the command of Monica.
'It's only a matter of time now until our first goal....Jane Lucia'.
A devious smirk hid beneath his expression as he lowered his head, while they followed the group to their next destination.
