Finally, they arrived at the outskirts of Willow Town, a place surrounded by a forest filled with dry grasses and trees. The bus stopped at the entrance of the place and everyone alighted from the bus. Looking around, the first-year students were amazed by the beauty of the place, how the trees there were all dried up and yet, the leaves didn't fall, how colorful the sky was, and the chirping of birds they were hearing.
"Let's get going," Blade said to the students and then began to enter the forest. As they got to a certain place; it was clearer than the other places and so Blade decided to camp there. "We'll stay here. It's getting dark so we won't engage in any activity until the next day," he said to them. "Betty, Jack, get the tents ready for us," he said to Betty and Jack. Betty nodded but Jack was hesitant to do so.
"What about Alex? Don't tell me he's not going to do anything," he said to Blade.
