Five days later.
Colossal Forest.
Viridian's hideout.
"Are you ready?" Adeline was still in a wooden house built decades ago. Due to the solidarity of the Viridian dorm students over the decades, every time an exam was held, they were assigned to guard, build, or repair the hideout house.
When Albert and Lilia first came to the complex, they could only gap in disbelief when they found several wooden houses standing in the middle of the forest, with wooden furniture.
Today, Albert and Lilia live in house number 11 of the 15 houses available. As the leader of the Viridian dorm, Tobias allowed them to stay because they were both trustworthy.
Adeline came to house number eleven with Parker and Nancy. They received important information from Tobias regarding the cave inhabited by third-level monsters.
"Where are we going?" asked Lilia.
