Upon Asura's arrival at the area, the knights separated his unit. Vela seemed to get special treatment after Cynthia took her away with the huge royal knight Barbatos. However, the higher-ups ignored Asura. It seemed he wasn't important enough. So, while he had nothing to do, he listened to the students and rumours.
Of course, his primary goal was to meet Mu Xue and Xavida, but this rumour about the forest caused him to become interested. Asura didn't know why, but he felt something drawing him to the forest from the moment he arrived at the camp.
'What is hiding in that forest?'
Asura sat with the young man, who seemed devastated. At first, it was just to boost his spirits. However, the moment he learned what had happened, his thoughts changed. This forest felt strange, and there was something that made him feel dangerous.
"So, your friend Jackson entered the forest and a white monster killed him?"
