Going out

The carriage started to moving slowly, as they were leaving the academy, the academy was in one of the biggest streets of the most prosperous of the capital.

But as they want farther and farther and almost reached the city gates, they passed to throw the smalls alleys, you could see a difference in status and wealth of people, all the beautiful clothes, and perfume that was present every was a few minutes ago, was no were to be seen now.

All that was left we people with really simple clothes and the most basic crops being sold in the street.

Zaho: "Look like there is a lot of people in need in the capital, it's just that when you don't see them in the major streets."

Samuel nodded: "There are few arrogant nobles that abuse from their power against commoners, that's why to protect themselves commoners got used to avoiding main streets where you could find rich people and nobles"

Lea added: "Sadly this behavior made the already existing gap between the wealthy and the poor even bigger and is causing a crack slowly forming in society, my father is trying to mend the gap but he faces too much opposition and pressure from the nobles."

This conversation didn't last more, after going trow the city gates, the topic changed to the place there were going.

Lea: "Georges? di you know where we are heading?"

Georges: "Yes princess, we are heading to a small forest 50 km from here, it's known for having a few spirit herbs and some magical beasts like wolfs and firebirds"

Samuel: " does this mean that we will have to fight? didn't they say it was just a survival camp to learn how to tend our basics needs?"

Georges: "You don't have to worry young master Samuel, they will make a camp on the outskirt of the forest, were np beast could be found."

Zaho injected: "Maybe Jason and Albert might go there in a few months as well if they ever want to have real fighting experience"

After around 3 hours the carriages finally stopped, after going down of the carriage, Rodolph explained the rules of the exercise: "Starting from now you guys are deprived of any object you brought wind you especially if it is consumable as food."

Rodolph: "If you brought swords or bows or any weapon you are free to keep it if you brought a tent you can also keep it."

Hearing this a Kid asked: "Teacher? I don't have a tent can you make a distribution for those who didn't bring one?"

Daniel: "Nice try! but you guys were all given the same informations, if you couldn't even prepare yourselves then you don't deserve us helping you, you will just have to do without it, their sleep outside or build yourself a shelter."

Luckily for Lea and Samuel after receiving advice from Jason and Albert they prepared everything needed, they even brought extra tents and extra weapons.

Lea: "Hello everybody! we have 6 extra tents and 10 weapons if you want one you can exchange it. You can get a tent by trading it with 3kg of food found in the forest be it fruits or meats and a weapon for 1kg of food"

The kid in need: "Yeee!...."

After hearing this, they started running in the forest to look for food as there was a limited number of goods.

Rodolph: "..."

Daniel: "...?are they allowed to do this?"

Rodolph: "I'm not sure? I don't see them breaking any rule?"

Zaho looked at Samuel and Lea with an aprouving look as he tought 'Well done, you grew up pretty quickely!'
