All the students went their separate ways that evening, with the aim of minimizing interaction between them.
All students from the magic academy are screened before being allowed in, so naturally we are not worried that they will leak the information... but since it is a secret mission, it should be kept secret.
The four of them rested for a day in a relatively safe camp before continuing on their journey.
This time, our destination is the middle of what was once a vast desert...
In fact, after the miracle happened, the entire desert disappeared, and the original roads were connected in all directions. As long as you know the direction, you can go anywhere.
But now that it has become a normal plain and mountain range, things are different. In the previous few months, the merchants spent a lot of money to let the people from the mercenary guild follow them, and finally they found a way out, but this road is also the road that everyone will take from now on.
The rest of the place is filled with dense forests and endless fields and mountains. Who would go there if they don’t know the way?
Who knows what kind of wild beast there is!
"Teacher Igonia."
During this time, Robert, who was relatively talkative among the four, would often chat with Igonia...
"What's wrong, Robert?"
"You've been to the Great Desert before. No... it's not called that anymore. Is this the middle of the Adak Plains?"
If the desert disappears, this place can no longer be called the Great Desert.
"I've been here before when it was still a desert. I'm from a western country, so I had to pass through this place."
"West!"
There are actually rumors among many students. After all, Teacher Igonia looks different from other local witches in Adak. You can tell at a glance that she is from a western country.
"So the instructor has been here before."
"Yes, it was still wartime then... There were few roads for us to get here, and most of them were occupied by the Borg. In the end, we followed the caravans step by step to get here."
It was the time of the Borg and Jagun War, and it was difficult to travel through the desert.
If it were now, it would probably be even more difficult!
There are only a few roads that can be taken, and most of them are safer roads made by travelers or caravans. Others can only follow them, otherwise it is easy to get lost or encounter danger.
And what this team is going to do now is exactly that dangerous thing!
"I see. Teacher Ignia had a hard time too... Which country in the west were you originally from?"
"Basharan."
As a mentor, Igunya will answer some simple questions, but will not discuss more sensitive topics.
At first, no one else noticed this, until Robert kept talking for a long time, and then they realized that this guy had always wanted to find out about his mentor's past.
Everyone in the magic academy knew that Instructor Igonia was closest to the dean, and her words would definitely contain news about the most powerful witch.
Students actually like rankings...
Several famous wizards in the world know this, but the most undisputed one is that the Orderer is almost level 19, approaching the legendary wizard, and the peak level 20.
Besides, Dean Lucille still looks so young, it is not impossible for him to break through level 20.
So her first place is undisputed.
"Robert, if you want to walk, just walk slowly. You won't have the energy to keep talking!" Jasper, who had been walking in front, spoke.
I'm not worried about what the other party will ask.
But once it involves the dean...
What I saw that day came back to my mind. The relationship between His Royal Highness the Prince and the Dean must be a secret.
What if I ask too many questions and let something slip?
Then why not kill him?
So I stopped it in a hurry.
But these words sounded different to Robert.
"I'm asking my instructor what to do with you. Just focus on your own business."
"I'm reminding you!"
"I don't need your reminder."
The more they spoke, the louder their voices became.
"Okay, quiet down!"
Ignia stopped the two of them with just one word.
I guess all the instructors knew that these two boys were dissatisfied with each other. But they were tied for second place, and they were competing for the first place female student in the college.
Tsk~
Listen to trouble.
Igonia was also puzzled as to why these three people were together and were so talented.
Alice, on the other hand, seems to reject everyone, but she shows some preference for Jasper...
Igunya herself was a little girl, and she probably felt that if someone pursued her, she shouldn't refuse them. No matter if she was shy or didn't know how to deal with it, this overly ambiguous attitude would often lead to the opposite situation.
It's like...
Suddenly I thought of my senior brother.
If I had been more resolute before, I might not have been so timid.
Looking at the three people walking in front, Ignia was helpless.
Also traveling with them was the fourth-ranked student in the academy, a girl of few words, Linda.
"These three are really little kids." Linda came forward and whispered.
It seemed like it was specifically meant for Igonia to hear.
"Why did the instructor group me with these three people?"
"These three are the strongest in our academy, including you... Although there are some arguments, I believe in your abilities." Igunya looked at Linda.
This girl is taller than all three of them, and her face has a more mature look.
She wasn't as pretty as Alice, but she had a great figure. She was older than the other three, so what she had said about her being a child was true.
If it were an ordinary child, Linda would be their big sister!
"Humph, I will surpass them soon." Linda said unconvinced.
"The academy has its reasons for assigning people this way. Although you're quite capable, you might not be as lively as the others. That's why your magical affinity isn't as good as Alice's."
"She's so flashy that all the boys come to see her, but I don't need that kind of friendliness!"
Shake your head.
It seems that these four people really have their own personalities.
…………
From the day we set out until the fourth day, this was how we spent almost every day.
Because the route had been arranged before they came, the team took a route that few people had taken, bypassing the gentle mountains and walking along some mountain roads that almost no one had taken.
And precisely because there was no one here, the forest was very lush, so even though it took four days to walk, the distance we covered was actually not far.
There was no one along the way, but the careful Alice and Linda, who was better at studying, would carefully map the mountains here and use them as a blueprint for future maps.
However, at this moment, Jasper and Robert, who were standing guard at the edge, noticed that there seemed to be traces left by someone at the edge of the camp.
"Come and see if there are footprints left by humans here."
