Chapter 37 - Chapter 36: The Base

Phoebe and Adelphia, these two genius brains have planned out a perfect base. It is hard to break, it is safe to stay, and it is easy to build.

Lucas and Esserine will be building the base depending on Phoebe's instruction. While Maria and Adelphia will be collecting supplies and building materials. About Kayden, he'll be inspecting the area around the designated zone, gathering some plants, wild berries, tropical fruits to cook, and purifying water for everyone to drink. 

Their first day in the Wolf island is all about building a good foundation.

After a whole day, everyone has finished building the base. It's a medium size house with 5 rooms. It has a living room which is for everyone to meet and to talk about tactics, 3 double-bedrooms for people, and one storage to hold stuff and weapons.

Maria and Esserine will be sleeping in the same room, Adelphia hopes it wouldn't be a bad idea. Because she really wants them to get to know each other better. So they will stop fighting and start acting like a team.

Adelphia and Phoebe will be in the same room, because they are used to being together. So even if it's not a very comfortable place, they still won't complain (that was Esserine's idea and Adelphia absolutely liked it). 

And of course the boys are going to be together. Kayden doesn't like sharing his private space with anyone else. However, only this time is an exception. It's the test. Lucas understands that, so he always tries his best not to annoy Kayden.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's in the evening, everyone is outside eating delicious vegetable soups that were made by Kayden. His cooking skills are amazing like master chefs. Because he has always been alone by himself, so his life skills are fantastic.

"How was the meal everyone?". Kayden controlled the flow of the soup into the wooden bowl. 

"You should come and work at my mansion". Maria just finished her bowl and she's waiting for another one. "This food is first-rate!".

"Haha no thanks". Kayden chuckled with Maria's joke. "Here you are". He gave the bowl of soup to Maria.

"Where did you learn this skill from?". Esserine was curious. "I've never heard a thing about you or your family".

Esserine's family and Ophelia's family, they know everything about everyone. Their families have the biggest information network in the country. Nothing could run or hide from them for too long. People can run, can hide, but they can't escape.

"Oh my mom taught me how to cook when she was alive". Kayden honestly replied. "She taught me about making potions, healing, and assembling natural resources".

"Oh, I'm sorry for asking you such a personal question". Esserine felt bad, she shouldn't be skeptical about others this much. 

"We're done!". From afar, Phoebe, Lucas, and Adelphia were carrying furniture for their new home.

"Yo, are you guys going on a vacation or something?!". Kayden was confused af. They were here for the test and now everyone is having fun with the tropical island.

"Not really, Mrs. Burggraf just called me and told me a lot of important things". Phoebe turned on the sound recorder. "Listen to this closely".

"Kids, take care of yourself and try to finish the test before I come and drag y'all back to the academy. Currently, your test time will be extended to a week. Because after we took off from the academy to the Wolf island, there were a herd of insane monsters attacking our campus. Other special academies have already reported about this too. We struggled a little bit, nevertheless, students from Margareta Academy arrived at the right moment to save us. Why did they come here so early? Yeah, they're just here for the Autumn Festival. Good luck kids, don't die!".

The whole scene has fallen into silence. This is such unexpected news. The return of the abyssal force, the corruption of a saintess, and now is an unforeseen invasion of monsters. What happened? Does this mean that their peaceful golden period of time is about to end?

"What should we do next?". Maria broke the endless silence. "Don't just sit here and be depressed!".

"I think we should just focus on achieving the test first". Adelphia gazed upon the stars. "As a president of the Student Council, I should be there in the front line and fight with others".

Seeing Adelphia like that made Phoebe feel down-mood either: "Hey, where's your optimism? I'm still here, talk to me if you want to". 

"Thank you Phoebe". Adelphia turned her head around and looked at Phoebe's deary eyes.

"I'll carry those objects inside". Lucas randomly felt awkward so he was just avoiding this emotional scene.

"I'll help you organize them". Following Lucas was Esserine. "I studied interior design".

"I think Adelphia and Phoebe are a secret couple". Maria leaned over Kayden and whispered in his ears.

"I feel like that too". Kayden whispered back.

After being soppy for a moment, Adelphia finally comes back to her responsible leader mind. She calls everyone to the living room and begins planning out their next moves for the contemporary situation. 

"Tomorrow, we'll be reconnoitring the monster hive and we'll create the tactic to deal with it". Adelphia spoke with leadership. "Anyone agree with me?!".

"Yes!" - Everyone answered in union.

Even though everything is going down terribly, people still manage to pierce through the darkened cloud just like fierce dragons!
