Suspicious Presence

After staying at West Port, the students were getting their teams ready to return to the academy, fixing their carriages, and re-stocking their food supplies.

I asked Melina if she had taken any food out of her void pocket during the test, but she denied it, saying that their chaperone would deduct points for it.

I chuckled, thinking that it was fair she would say that, or her team would have been the only ones feasting while the others ate the awful beef jerky.

Once everyone was ready, they each took their respective paths and began the trail back to the capital.

Yoru and Vespera went with other teams on my command since I wanted to see if it had just been my team and Melina's that got stalked by the strange monster. Still, I told them to stay hidden in the shadows unless it was necessary for them to get out.
