Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.
Although Gu Shi had spent most of his time in the past few months learning new magic, with the help of two Life-Promoting Tree fruits every month, he still managed to break through to the advanced fourth level.
After the practical class ended that day, Ilsa announced a piece of news to the students, "Three days later, I and two other instructors will lead you to the Warcraft Forest for a ten-day training session.
Everyone, please prepare in advance. We will be staying in the Warcraft Forest for a full ten days, and we will be sleeping in the forest. Everyone, please prepare your daily necessities in advance, otherwise you will be the ones who will regret it if you miss anything."
As soon as the news was announced, the students below were talking about it. Under the guidance of three high-level professionals, they could enter the Warcraft Forest without worrying about their own safety and could also broaden their horizons. Everyone was excited and looking forward to this trip.
Gu Shi was a little worried. He only had practical classes with these third-year students. He had other courses scheduled during the ten days of training. He didn't know whether he was included in the training list.
After the crowd dispersed, Gu Shi approached Ilsa with a question in his mind and asked, "Teacher Ilsa, will I go to the Warcraft Forest with you?"
Elsa spoke up, dispelling Gu Shi's concerns. "Yes, you have to participate in this training camp as well. I'll communicate with the other instructors in advance. You can ask your classmates to record the classes you missed during these ten days with a photo stone so you can review them when you return."
Gu Shi said, "I understand. Thank you, Teacher Ilsa."
After returning to the dormitory, Gu Shi asked Wendel to help record the subsequent course content. Wendel was a little envious when he heard that Gu Shi was going to training camp next.
Seeing Gu Shi progress from the Elementary to the Intermediate and then Advanced Level of the Fourth Order, while he was still only at the Intermediate Level of the Third Order, Wendell couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, we entered school in the same year, but you're so far ahead of us."
Gu Shi smiled and said, "I'm much older than you. By the time you're twenty-one, you'll definitely be stronger than me."
Wendell was stunned for a moment before he reacted. "If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten you were already twenty-one. Looking at you, I would have subconsciously mistaken you for someone my age."
Gu Shi was already used to it. He handed the photo stone he had prepared in advance to Wendell and said, "I'll leave the photo taking to you. We'll be camping outdoors during the training camp, so I need to go buy some things."
On the day when the training camp officially started, Gu Shi arrived at the gathering place on time. Everyone else was also very excited about the trip and no one was late.
Before they set off, Ilsa introduced the two other instructors accompanying them. "This is Field Burns, and the one next to him is Marshall. Everyone must follow the instructors' instructions when moving around in the forest. Got it? If you wander around alone, you might get captured by monsters."
The last time they were on vacation, Gu Shi went to the Warcraft Forest by riding a griffin, but this group trip was different. Ilsa took them to the teleportation tower in Congleton.
Although he knew that Congleton had a teleportation array, this was Gu Shi's first time there. The space inside the teleportation tower was quite large and busy, with people constantly appearing and disappearing from the teleportation array.
Ilsa took them to the fourth floor of the teleportation tower, and then had a conversation with the manager of the teleportation array. After confirming the destination, she paid a large sum of gold coins.
Gu Shi thought that the college was actually willing to pay for the transportation of so many people. It would cost a lot of money to go back and forth.
Little did he know that the money was not actually paid by the college, but came from Field's sponsorship.
The funding provided by the college was only enough to rent a Warcraft, but Field was unwilling to spend so much time, and riding in a Warcraft was not comfortable enough.
Field simply paid for everyone's transportation fees out of his own pocket. After all, this amount of money was just a drop in the bucket for him.
Through the teleportation array, in just the blink of an eye, they arrived from Congleton to Langari.
Langari is the closest city to the Warcraft Forest. After coming out of the teleportation tower, Ilsa took them to the Warcraft Rental Shop and rented a group of rock-hoof horses to take them to the Warcraft Forest.
Although the Rock Hoof Horse is not particularly fast, it has a gentle temperament and provides a comfortable riding experience.
About half an hour later, they arrived at their destination.
Ilsa did not stay in the town of Melia for long, but took them straight into the Monster Forest.
The periphery was not dangerous for these students whose average level was around level three, so the instructors were not particularly vigilant.
As they walked, Ilsa explained the arrangements for this training camp, "For the first five days of this training camp, I will take you deep into the Warcraft Forest and let you see those high-level Warcraft.
The next five days are spent on the periphery, where you can move freely within a certain range. Of course, all the gains from these days belong to you.
We are only at the outskirts of the Monster Forest, so we can advance at a leisurely pace. Once we get deeper, it won't be so easy."
At night, they found an open place to camp. To ensure safety, Ilsa used defensive magic to protect the entire camp.
Although they have been moving forward all day, they have to stop to rest from time to time to take into account the students' physical strength. They also often encounter attacks from monsters on the road, so they are still on the outskirts of the forest.
The students were setting up their tents while several instructors gathered together to discuss the day's progress.
Marshall's face was filled with worry. "Have you noticed that we encountered quite a few monsters along the way today?"
Ilsa nodded. She had also noticed the problem. "Indeed, the behavior of those monsters is a little abnormal. Is it because they are in heat?"
Field denied this, "The Warcraft mating season has passed. Their restlessness is due to other factors."
Ilsa speculated again: "Could it be because there are too many of us?"
"Unlikely. I've led students from the Warrior Academy before, when there were more of them, and I've never encountered such a situation."
Marshall sighed. If the monsters were so agitated, he was a little worried that they would form a tide to attack nearby villages and towns.
"I hope this is just an accident." Marshall said sincerely.
Ilsa said, "I'll tell the students to be more cautious. We'll observe tomorrow. If anything seems amiss, we'll end this training session immediately and take the students back."
