After walking for an hour, she was already exhausted. She decided to take a seat on the ground under the tree. She opened the map again, and as she continued to observe she realized something.
Each of them seems like they landed on their own territory, every path was connected to where she saw the red dots. It means, wherever she goes. She will encounter anyone part of the game. She doesn't know who they are, so she can't choose the right path.
She can't be reckless, even though they are forbidden to use their power it doesn't mean they are not strong. She feels like she is in a real battlefield where she needs to consider every move she takes, while thinking she should close her eyes to also save some energy. It was inevitable to fight someone, for her to be able to move forward she needed to put up a fight but as long as she can she'll avoid the fighting part for her own safety.
She needs information about each location, wait! That's right, she needs some information! You can't go to the battle without any preparations, the woman said earlier elementias were forbidden to use their powers in the fight. She didn't say anything else, that means they can use it for other purposes. But how?!
She was in the west part of the map, so how will she get some information? Mmmmmnnn, she massage the bridge of her nose and think. An idea suddenly came to her mind, that's right! She will call fina, she said she can call her every time so why not this time?
She closes her eyes, and calls her name. They have already bonded, that's why she can communicate to her using a mind link. Wolves have the natural ability of mind link, and because she's bond with fina she's naturally part of her. Fina says she's her master now, but she doesn't acknowledge it. She doesn't want any servants or anything, having wolves by her side is a big deal already. She just wanted to live a normal life, so it's not necessary for fina to devote her life to her.
"Fina..." As soon as she called fina's name, she appeared right in front of her together with her pack. It seems the medicine she gives to them works, some wolves she saw lying on the ground already stand straight together with Fina.
"You called." Fina said, Katara scratched her nape and nodded.
"Yes, I have a favor to ask." She said, the summoning thing works really well. She also wants to test that, and it's true.
"Anything M'lady." Fina softly responded.
"It's early to call you, and ask for your help but can you get some information for me?" She said Katara explained what was happening and why she needed help. Without any information, she'll never move forward. She's sure that just like her, everyone watches their presence using the map.
With or without magic, she's sure the other students are still stronger than her. Unlike her, they trained longer, and harder. They're prepared for the longest time. She just needed their locations information, before entering the game she gathered some information about the students participants. It's not hard for her to do that, she gathers every piece of information about them and she learns what are their possible weaknesses, how their strengths, and what are capable or what are things that they're best at. It's not that hard, specially they're many students know them and also watch them grow stronger.
"We understand, we are splitting ourselves in different areas."
"Just let me know if you're in danger and I will call you right away. You don't have to fight for me, this is my game." Katara uttured, Fina nodded.
"Thank you." She said, Fina smiled.
Unlike her, Fina and other wolverians can gather information about the area without any suspicion. They'll not appear on the map since they are not part of the game. Good thing she met them.
As Fina said, they scattered in nine areas of the map. For Fina, this is totally fine and easy to do. She's expecting that Katara will request for more but she's not, from her intuition she is a good woman but there is something to her that is bothering Fina. She can't point it out, but she had a feeling that destiny brought them together. Fina ran towards the northwest of the dungeon to begin to do her role.
Katara relaxes herself to save more energy, and thinks about what she will do next. Twenty minutes later she heard fina's voice in her head.
"Someone is coming to you!" She immediately gets alert for what she heard, and opens her eyes. She looks at the map, there's no red dots coming to her but they must hide themselves!
"Can you tell me who is after me?" She asked.
"A man, he has a tattoo on his neck and seems like he's a water user."
"It seems like he already knew that it was me who's here." Katara responded. She stood up and took a deep breath, Asmon from the house of water. He was skilled in hand in hand combat, he was also a C class of water user. Weakness,
"The other one seems to be coming for you too." She heard Sean say, woah! They are really such a bully huh, how could they have planned to attack the same person?!
"It's a woman, a fire user." Sean added.
"I guess I need to move." She said, and for just a second she felt a strong presence coming to her. It was coming so fast, it seemed like he's using his power.
"Fina, can I ask a question?" She asks fina in her mind.
"Yes, you may M'lady."
"The bond works vice versa right?" She asked.
"Yes, that's right."
"Then can you grant one more request from me?"
"You don't have to ask, I'll follow whatever you want." She smiled.
"Thanks." She said, the predators are coming. In just a few seconds it will appear within her eyes, and it did.
A water from the sky splashes in the ground together with the man who's standing above it, her eyes and Asmon meet. An evil smirk plaster to his lips, there's no fear visible in her eyes. She didn't feel terrified at all, slowly her lips moved and a more devious smile appeared on her lips. She felt her body burning, her wanted to move on it's own.
That's right, after being the best assassin in her previous life she became too strong to the point that killing for her is so easy. It was never challenging at all, she almost forgot the feeling of wanting to win desperately. She forgets the feeling of facing a strong enemies, that will make her heart beat so fast and made her think.
"Good thing you're here, I've been waiting for you." She said, and the man in front of her surprise.
Her eyes, her eyes change. A never felt such a strong bloodlust before.
Katara wanted to have a normal life, but once an assassin will always be an assassin. Once an enemy targets her, she'll hunt them.
