A subtle atmosphere flowed between them.

Logically speaking, they should have been part of a team by now, but reality seems to be different.

I don’t know if it’s because of their positioning, but even though they are not far apart, it seems like there is an invisible Chu-Han boundary between them, dividing Pedro and Bass into one “camp”, while Xu Ling, Sisi, and April form another “camp”.

They seem to be opposing forces, but more like they keep to themselves and don't interfere with each other.

After all, apart from Bass and April, Xu Ling, Sisi, and Pedro had all taken Miller's class together, so they could be considered "classmates".

Not to mention, Sissi and Pedro came to Phil Academy together!

Even though they were classmates, none of Xu Ling and the others took the initiative to break the ice.

Suddenly, a strange commotion arose from a large group of classmates standing not far away, which prevented the awkward atmosphere between Xu Ling and her friends from continuing.

what happened?

Xu Ling and the others immediately turned their heads to look curiously, but unfortunately they were a few seconds too late. They didn't hear anything announced in the crowd, but they saw the divided teams starting to move around.

They each carried their own packed luggage and walked in groups toward the college exit.

Although there were students from four classes gathered at the assembly point, and everyone was in a chaotic rush to leave, it didn't take long before only a few slow-moving groups of students remained.

Soon, even the slowest groups left, leaving only Xu Ling and a few others in a corner of the gathering place.

"What...what do we do?" Sisi blinked, looking at Xu Ling with some confusion. "Should we leave?"

Sisi asked the next question with some anxiety.

Although Assistant Coach Alger clearly told them to wait here for the time being, now that the main group has left, is it still necessary for them to continue waiting here?

Perhaps... is it possible that teaching assistant Alger forgot to tell them to leave together?

Not only did Xixi have this suspicion, but Xu Ling couldn't help but have the same suspicion.

After all, everyone left together in the beginning, but now most of them have left, and only they are left here... That doesn't make sense!

Xu Ling hesitated for a moment, and just as she couldn't help but agree with Sisi's idea, Alger appeared in front of them at the right time.

It was still that gentle smile, but it seemed to have gained a touch of genuine joy.

"Alright, we can go now."

Alger's casual remark offered no explanation as to why they were only notified after everyone else had left.

"Oh, right," he said, as if remembering something, turning to Xu Ling, "Where's your giant wolf?"

Giant wolf?

Xu Ling was taken aback, but she immediately realized that Alger was referring to Fei Er. "There were too many people just now, so I told him to hide first."

Alger nodded. "Then let it out now. We should get going."

However, after hearing his words, Xu Ling did not immediately move. Instead, she frowned and asked, "What if we scare the other students?"

Although Fel's existence was no secret in their witch class, it was actually just common knowledge; very few people had actually come to their dormitory and seen Fel.

Thinking about the large group that would be moving together, including not only the witch's students but also members of the church and knights, she was afraid that Fei'er's sudden appearance would frighten the others.

“This is no problem,” Alger said confidently, not taking it seriously at all. “Don’t worry, no one will be scared.”

Xu Ling asked curiously, "Why?"

“Because—” Alger suddenly smiled mysteriously, “we’re not going with them.”

"Discord?!?"

The answer surprised everyone. Not only Xu Ling, but even Bass and Pedro exclaimed in unison.

"Where are we going?" Bass, who had never spoken before, couldn't hold back any longer and asked.

As soon as Bass finished speaking, everyone nodded in unison, their eyes all fixed on Alger, eagerly awaiting his answer.

However, despite being the intense gazes of everyone, Algi remained silent with a smile.

He took the first step and said casually, "Let's go."

Without even checking whether anyone had followed, he hurried away.

Xu Ling and the others didn't follow at first, but seeing that Alger was walking further and further away and had no intention of turning back, they realized that if they didn't catch up soon, they might really not be able to catch up!

The group finally couldn't contain themselves and started moving.

Fortunately, apart from Xu Ling and April, everyone else's luggage was not far from them.

Xu Ling grabbed April's hand and started running, shouting back as she chased after them, "Fei'er, let's go!"

Sisi, Bass, and Pedro, who were running alongside, didn't understand what Xu Ling was doing when suddenly a white wolf, almost half a person's height, jumped out from nowhere.

Under the sunlight, the white wolf's fur was glossy and dazzling, but unfortunately, now was not the time to admire its beauty. With a single step of its enormous paw, the white wolf charged toward them like a bolt of lightning.

As the white wolf ran, the ground nearby seemed to tremble slightly, but this was nothing compared to the fear in the hearts of Sisi and the other two.

Imagine that when you are completely unprepared, a giant beast suddenly leaps out. Although the beast is beautiful and majestic, when it charges towards you as if it has taken you as its prey, no one can stop the fear from spreading in their heart when they are at a loss.

Seeing the white wolf getting closer and closer, and not wanting to become food for the giant wolf, Sisi and her two companions ran forward even more desperately.

"Run!"

Of course, while running forward, the three of them didn't forget to remind Xu Ling and the other person who were about to be overtaken by them.

Not only did she remind them, but as soon as Qianqian caught up with Xu Ling and the other girl, she immediately reached out and grabbed Xu Ling's arm, pulling them forward with all her might.

Everything happened in an instant. Before Xu Ling could even understand what was going on, her feet involuntarily quickened their pace to match Sisi's, and April also staggered along with them.

The five suddenly embarked on a great escape, but unfortunately, two legs can never outrun four.

With a leap, Fei Er immediately blocked the five people's path.

Bass and Pedro immediately stopped in their tracks, and simultaneously reached out to protect Sissi and the other two behind them.

"Be careful." Pedro watched Fier's every move with wary eyes, then turned his head slightly to remind the three girls protecting him.
