Ireayo killed a wild snake proceeding .

Ini made a sign for every body to stop.

" Sarah, anything?" Ini asked facing her.

You may not know but the wind carries noise or sound so sound mages can listen to the sound . This helps them know whether something is ahead or not making them excellent scouts."

"I'm picking up chattering north west and I think it's about 4 to 5 hundred meters. It's an horde of zuri squirrels. (In case your wondering why I changed the name of the squirrels we'll I have forgotten their former name and I don't seem to know which chapter I wrote it so we go with zuri squirrel. If you prefer the other name or would like to have some magical beast of your own places into the novel just comment the name and description also you can drop a link that leads to something close to it. This novel is still just starting and you can all make it into something wonderful. It's not to late to drop an idea of yours -14\10\24 that's the date as long as it's not been a year since this date you can drop an idea for the novel and join me in creating an interesting webnovel-si_).

From the sound I think it's about 300."

Sarah replied.

"We're lucky we just came across a small horde maybe just formed few months ago. (Only God knows how big the horde would be if left for a year)" Esther added .

"I'll move ahead you guys create a perimeter so none of them can escape. " Ini said before moving forward.

The remaining four of them then created a perimeter ensuring none of the squirrels escaped. Then a small boom sounded and it was followed bye loud chattering then the chattering kept reducing till it was all quiet. Some that were able to tescape were killed before they could leave the perimeter.

" No that is not normal, if it's like anything we have seen before, it means for every spell he casts he receives pain in return." The woman beside the man says.

" We can't be sure as wards have different ways the behave and you know that high level wards a mostly unique even the similar ones have differences that can't be ignored. But, you may be right about him feeling pain. The question his how did he learn to cope with the pain ?" The principal asked

"He must have had a teacher to teach him and it must be someone with the cultivation of at least a core mage or even higher. We must be really carefull. They trained him in secret till to day means their plan is already in motion we must know what they are doing and also find out if they are connected to them." She concludes makinga grave expression.
