From MC's perspective:
Time went by,
At the time of dusk, I saw some light ahead. In curiosity, I followed the light. When I got closer. I saw a camp ahead.
The bright light is nothing but a campfire. Seeing that I realized. I have reached another big camp. There must be more than one group here.
The camp was set up in open land space. My appearance will be sensed by others. Suddenly, I thought of something.
The system's new function. No existence can sense my presence without my permission. It's the right time to test the system's new function.
Then I told the system to hide my presence. After doing that, I started approaching the entrance. I hoped no one would come out of their tent all of a sudden.
When I reached the entrance. I got a clearer view of the camp. There are more than 50 tents here. Which means at least 50 wizards in this camp.
I sucked a cold breath of air. What are they doing with such numbers? There must be something important going on.
When I decided to take a step inside. I suddenly heard a talking voice from nearby. The next moment, I appeared in the Gregor Mansion.
Outside,
A group of friends are walking by while chatting. When they disappeared from the spot. I appeared outside.
Then I hurriedly strode inside before selecting the tent. I picked the nearest large tent close to me.
[Ding! Warning]
[Detected Barrier]
A mechanical voice gave me a warning. As expected the leader's tent is not without protection.
When I thought it was impossible to stay here. From the corner of my eyes, I saw someone walking out of their tent.
"May," I said in my heart.
I recognized the girl from before and what they were doing now. She must be going somewhere. Then her tent must be empty right now.
I am not planning to enter the girl's tent. But I know she didn't use the barrier before. After making the decision, I changed my direction and rushed toward her tent.
The speed was so fast that it was created after images. Because of the system, no one could sense my presence. Which gave me a chance to enter the camp.
I stood behind May's tent before disappearing from the spot.
Meanwhile,
May reached Rina's tent and entered inside. Looking at Rina carrying books in her hands.
May asked, "Did you find something?"
Hearing that Rina turned around. When she saw May she wasn't surprised.
"What are you talking about?" Rina asked.
May got displeased. She sat down on the bed before asking, "I know we are here for some kind of training. But you seem to know what it is?"
This time Rina was surprised.
"May you be getting sharp these days. But apart from the group leader. No one knows for sure," Rina answered.
But looking at May's expression. She decided to reveal some news.
"But I guess the leaders are looking for something. Last time they weren't able to find it because of the outsiders."
"This time all the group leaders seem to be confident," Rina said.
Meanwhile,
In the large tent, the group's leaders gathered together to discuss.
"Rosy, can you tell me now?" Mark asked.
The other leaders already knew the answers. But Rosy can explain things clearly.
"Well, I did find some unusual route. But I don't know where it's leading to?" Rosy replied.
"According to the elders, there was once mining that happened in this forest. But that happened a long time ago. Probably during the times of the old era," Mark said.
He thought of their route in this deep forest. Then it's a man-made one. Apart from the mining he wasn't able to think of anything else.
"Alright guys, we came here to explore. Why don't we use the unusual path to investigate?" the other female leader Daisy asked.
Hearing that Rosy nodded at her. She was also thinking the same. The elders of the academy have sent them here to have experience.
The unusual path is the best opportunity to explore further.
Mark frowned. He didn't refute their words. But at the same time, he was not convinced in his heart. The forest is not without danger.
He fears they might disturb powerful beings who are living deep in this forest.
The other male leaders looked at each other.
After looking at the reaction of everyone.
Rosy asked, "Okay, raise your hand. If you are in support of exploring the new path."
Hearing that Daisy quickly raised his hands followed by other 2 male wizards.
Except Mark who is in deep thinking.
"Mark!"
"What about you?" Daisy asked.
Mark's thoughts returned to reality.
He knows the majority have made up their mind. There is no point in convincing others.
"Okay, then we should leave by early morning," Mark added.
Meanwhile,
In the Gregor Mansion, I'm keeping an eye on the mirror but there was no movement outside.
Patience is killing me. But I can't take the risk of exposing myself.
20 minutes later,
The girl appeared. Seeing her, I sat up straight. Then I saw she entered the tent alone. The wizard named Rina didn't appear with her.
Should I stalk her instead? A doubt flashes in my eyes. The next second, I heard some noises.
When I looked in the mirror, Inside the tent, the girl May seemed to be self-talking. But it's a pity, I couldn't hear her mumbling.
The following day,
When I woke up. I saw the wizards removing their tent. Not one tent but the whole group seems to be leaving somewhere else.
My eyes gleamed with a twinkle.
I don't know where they are moving next. It's a pity, I wasn't able to gather information last night.
Outside,
May and Rina unpacked their tent and joined the others. While Mark is speaking to other leaders. It would take some time for more than 40 wizards to get ready.
Daisy and Rosy are discussing the new path. Rosy is particularly excited to explore the new path.
But unlike her, Mark is having double thoughts. Since the majority has made the decision, he can't lead his group somewhere else.
