"… …"

"Haha, we're right in front!" Hugh whistled.

For him, this sort of weather wasn't bad weather. It was the same for all Elementalists. Moreover, he was a Dark Elf who specialized in Ice Magic. The wind that blew snow around him seemed to have intentionally avoided Huya.

After a day of hurrying, the students finally arrived at their destination. Their originally somewhat tired eyes suddenly regained some energy.

Tonight, we will rest here for a day and start tomorrow's official departure. First of all, we have to set up camp, it's very important to set up camp, you've all learned it in the academy, so I don't need to teach you. After Liang Yue had finished instructing the students of the Sword Arts Department, she found a tree corner, placed a cloth on the ground, and sat down.

The white snow gradually covered the sky and the earth, leaving behind traces of the camp site. The gate was not far away, and it was connected to the forest. The team that was left behind arrived soon after.

The campgrounds around the forest were very large, and even with the arrival of this large group, it was not crowded. As time passed, tents began to form one after another on the outskirts of the forest.

"Student Gavin, go stand guard around!" Xiyue instructed him.

Liang Yue and the others had come this time as teachers, so it was naturally their responsibility to teach these students. Gawain nodded, then carried his sword and walked towards the forest.

Although this place was separated from the Forest of Grains, it was also a forest, so it wasn't a guarantee of absolute safety.

Each academy's camp was separated, and then the various subjects within the academy separated again. Under a clear division of labor, each and every one of them was in full swing.

Liang Yue, wrapped in a blanket, was sitting on the ground with her back leaning against a tree. Her eyes were lifeless as she looked at the students in the campsite that were boiling with blood.

When night fell and the bonfire was lit, the wind and snow grew bigger and bigger. The place where Liang Yue was originally sitting under the tree had long since moved to the place where the students were gathered. Here, there was a magic array set up by their magic faculty students to prevent the wind and snow from being blocked outside.

Liang Yue heard a faintly discernible sound.

He raised his head, his lifeless eyes gathering some energy as he listened attentively to the sounds around him.

As they surrounded the bonfire, they passionately discussed about it. Some of the students with lively personalities had already started singing and dancing, and Xiyue, who sat at the side, was rarely infected by everyone's emotions. She smiled and looked at them.

Liang Yue stood up and gave Xiyue a hand gesture. She began to walk towards the outside of the barrier, which was under the big tree that Gavin was guarding.

Although Liang Yue also knew that there weren't any ferocious beasts in the outer part of the forest, and at most there were wild beasts, after entering the forest, his heart had always felt somewhat stifled. He was prepared to take a look.

Stepping out of the Spirit Formation, rustling sounds came from the leaves from the wind and the howling of the wind. The ground was indeed abnormally quiet, and only the muffled sound of feet stepping on snow could be heard.

"Chief Liang Yue!" It had already been two months since they'd entered the academy. These freshmen truly understood the strength of the academy's powerhouses, and they suppressed their own thoughts within their hearts. They only felt true respect towards them from the bottom of their hearts.

Liang Yue waved her hand, "There's no need to come down."

Just as Gavin was about to jump down from the treetop, he was stopped by Liang Yue.

"Yes sir!"

Glancing at the nearby campsite, the light from the bonfire shrouded that area, giving off a different kind of warmth from the outside. Liang Yue smiled, "I'll go take a walk outside …"

Stepping on the snow, Liang Yue began to walk around the camp, one footprint after another left on the ground. The other camps were doing the same, the light from the bonfire illuminating their faces, the students were clearly excited.

Liang Yue slowly walked on, not knowing exactly where she wanted to go. Unknowingly, Liang Yue came to the surroundings of the door, and from afar, she saw the door that was shining with blue light. The magical runes engraved on the door shone like they were breathing in the wind and snow.

Seeing that door, Liang Yue felt as if something was staring at him from the darkness. A familiar feeling, yet fleeting.

Was it an illusion? Liang Yue shook her head and turned around to return. However, the feeling she had previously had still existed. Had she met him before?

After a day of toil and torment, everyone was unable to persevere any longer. When Liang Yue returned to the camp, it was already a complete silence. Everyone fell into a deep sleep, except for the figure of a young girl who was sitting beside the already silent burning place.

Liang Yue walked to her side and sat down. She took out two blankets and passed one to her and wrapped one around herself. She smiled and asked while looking at the bonfire on the ground, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Xiyue took the blanket from him and wrapped it around herself like he did. She turned her head and looked at the man beside her. She smiled and replied, "You're not sleeping, so why should I?"

"Mm …" Liang Yue felt that she had asked a very stupid question. She picked up a tree branch beside her and started to fiddle with the bonfire in front of her. Flames flickered, reflecting the shadows of the two on the ground.

With a "pa" sound, the flames in the bonfire lightly exploded. Liang Yue opened her mouth and said, "There's something wrong in the forest." The firelight made the faces of the two of them turn slightly red.

Xiyue shifted her butt in Liang Yue's direction and said, "I also felt it. I felt an uncomfortable feeling."

"Yes." Liang Yue put down the tree branch in her hand and glanced outside the snowstorm. She could faintly see the light of fire from the other camps and stood up. "Good night."

Xiyue also stood up, looking at Liang Yue's beautiful appearance, she softly said, "Good night."

Under the firelight, the two figures gently embraced and then separated. Xiyue lowered her head and said good night again, then turned around and left.

Seeing that Xiyue had entered the tent, Liang Yue put away the two blankets in her hands. Sighing, she said to the darkness, "What's wrong, did you find anything?"

Gavin walked out from the darkness, still in shock. Although the relationship between the Head of the Guards and the second seat was very good, he never expected them to have reached such a state.

Jia Wen bowed and said, "I heard some strange noises just now and I wanted to come back to take a look."

Liang Yue replied with a "En" before she turned around and walked towards the tent. "Come back and sleep. I don't think there'll be anything else for tonight."

"Yes sir!"

"… …"
