Before they knew it, it was already the day that they would go to Stygian Forest. Angeal, Elenea, and Leonel already prepared the things that they would need for their ordeal.
All of the students rode a Garuda going to Stygian Forest. From afar, they could already see the eerie and dark atmosphere that the forest was exhibiting.
It was as the name suggested, alright. It is a forest that is lifeless and dark.
They knew that in the forest, there would be creatures beyond their imagination. Nothing good always happens in the dark. If they were to go to a place that was deemed dangerous, then everyone would have to be cautious to protect themselves and each other.
Angeal's ordeal is to beat a Catoblepas with her familiar, Leonel. Leonel, on the other hand, would have to protect Aranea as his ordeal since she is his Summoner.
