Arlon's group, which included June and the blonde Magus, Mei, moved swiftly through the trees.
Mei took the lead, her hands glowing faintly as she used a tracking spell to guide them toward their first marker.
"So," Mei said, glancing back at Arlon and June, "are we going for top marks, or just aiming to survive this lesson?"
"Top marks," Arlon replied without hesitation. "Anything less isn't worth the effort."
June smirked. "Well, let's hope your plans involve more than just brute force."
Arlon looked at June and thought of when he brute forced anything.
It was probably the time we two grouped up to find the creature under Istarra.
"Mei, do you mind if I take the lead?" Arlon asked upon thinking that.
"Sure, but can you find your way here? Even we are not that good even though we were here for the last three years," she answered.
