Sam signals them to stay silent while he will check. His stealth technique was the best among them, so it was natural for him to go there.
Sam activated his concealment technique and silently went toward the source of the voice. He was eager to know the identity of those voices. Today was the last day and it won’t be surprising if the enemy attacked today.
He saw 6 people (Three girls and three boys) discussing something among them. He wasn’t able to see the faces of those people. Because he was facing their backside. But these warriors were wearing the dress of the central academy. Still, Sam wants to confirm their identity. The enemy also can wear the school dress of various schools to fool the students.
Sam didn’t know the name of every warrior who was taking part in the college exam, but he knew the names of the students who were early D-grade warriors and some warriors who were peak E-grade warriors. He wants to find out if he can meet someone familiar.
Sam hides behind a bush and looks at them. He has confidence in his concealment technique. He silently looked at them and heard their discussion.
“… Those warriors from the association had the guts to attack us even when the Saints were watching us. It was unexpected. Today, we needed to be careful. Today was the last day of the exam. It was very possible for that dark association to attack us today. Previously, Mr. Jerry solved the summon monster. We don’t know if those dark association warriors will once again summon those monsters. But remember Mr. Jerry’s words that those monsters were very dangerous. So, guys, be careful,” Sam heard a girl’s voice telling her teammates. He wasn’t able to hear the first few lines, but he can guess that these warriors were discussing the dark association warriors.
Most likely these people were students the same as him. Still, there was a chance that they were the enemy. To fool the students, they were talking about the dark association. With this word, they can present themself as the students and when the other students will approach them, they will attack those students.
Sam still looked at them. Sometime later, he finally found a familiar face. He could finally see the face of the girl, who was previously talking to her teammates. She was Alexa Galm. Sam remembers her because her title was the same as Aria. He thinks these two girls were siblings, and one interesting thing was that Aria and Alexa’s surname was the same as that of Saint Markus. It is also possible that these girls were related to Markus.
Sam shook his head. He can think about this matter later. Right now, the important thing was that these people weren’t enemies, they were students like Sam and his team. Sam silently turned back and went toward his team.
At this moment, Jeni and the others were making no sound, looking in the direction where they heard the voices. Finally, Sam was back. They had previously been worried about him. They knew how strong Sam was, even so, they were worried about him.
Sam finally saw his team and went towards them. He saw the girls were having a worried look, while Tony and the others had a questionable look.
“Don’t worry, I am fine. Previously I could not see the faces of those people, but after waiting some time I finally saw a familiar face. I think Tony and Jeni are also familiar with the girl and her teammates. Her name is Alexa Galm, but I don’t know the name of her teammate. Still, I think you two know her better than me. So, yea, I confirmed they aren’t enemies. If you guys want to approach them, then I don’t have a problem or if you don’t want to approach them, even then I don’t have any problem,” Sam said to them. While he brings out a water bottle and starts drinking.
Elena, Jeni, and Tony look at each other. Sam doesn’t have a problem with Alexa, but you can say that she won’t have a problem if they approached her. Still, they don’t know if they should contact her or not.
“Tony, I think we should contact her. Now, the situation wasn’t the same as before. Even if she didn’t want to come together, we can alert her about the forbidden summoning.” Jeni said to Tony. They also came from the Royal school, so naturally, they know her. Even Jeni and Alexa were good friends.
“I think you are right. Let’s go, we should contact her,” Tony also agreed with Jeni. Even if Alexa didn’t want to come together with them, they can tell her about the dark association and the forbidden summoning.
Tony previously asked Harry, ” Are there any students except them who know about the forbidden summoning?”
” No, only you guys know about the forbidden summoning. The others only know that dark association warriors were attacking the students using summoned monsters, but they didn’t know about the forbidden summoning,” Harry previously said to him.
With that, he can understand that even Alexa didn’t know about the forbidden summoning. If they didn’t tell Alexa about the forbidden summoning, it can become quite risky for her. They know Alexa wasn’t a reckless person, but what if her teammates do something reckless? It can become quite risky for them. Because of this, it was better to alert them about the forbidden summoning.
Tony, Jeni, and Elena went toward Alexa and her teammates. Elena is also Alexa’s good friend, so it was natural to go toward her.
Alexa and her teammates were discussing the dark association warriors. Some time ago they got attacked by a summon monster. If the monster was in the same grade as them, they can fight with it, but if the monster was an A-grade. It was a whole other level. Fortunately, the warriors from the warrior association take care of the monster.
They also hear not only then but even Tony, Jeni, James, and many other students get attacked by this type of monster. Because of this, they were discussing what they should do next. Like Sam and the others, Alexa also can guess that today those enemies do something that can harm the students or even the students to lose their life. Because of this, they were extra careful.
Suddenly Alexa signals her teammates to stop talking and hide. Because she heard footsteps. Her hearing was quite sharp compared to others, so she could hear the footsteps before any of her teammates heard them.
Her teammates, wasting no time, quickly hide. They always believe in her. She was giving them the signal to hide. It means something was wrong. So, it was natural to hide, wasting no time.
Alexa also hid, but her focus was on the forest, from where she heard footsteps. If they were the enemy, then she wouldn’t waste any time and attack them. But if they were enemies and were powerful, then she and her teammates would retreat. They needed to analyze their strength. 𝒆𝙣𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝙚𝙩
Finally, her teammates could also hear footsteps. They also looked in the direction from which the signal was coming.
“Guys, be ready to attack them. But if they were enemies, and they were stronger than yours, then guys don’t waste any time and retreat into a safe place. Understand?…,” she said to her teammates in their minds. Yes, your guess was right. She also knows little of telekinesis. With this technique, she communicated with her teammates.
Everyone nodded after hearing her plan. They also agreed with her. Previously, they also heard about a group of enemies who attacked Jeni, Tony, and their teammates some time ago. Those enemies belonged to the dark association.
They were silently waiting and looking in the direction where they heard the footsteps. After some time of waiting, they finally saw three figures coming out of the wood.
“Sigh,” Alexa’s teammates sigh in relief. They know these three people. They were Elena, Jeni, and Tony. Alexa also relaxes after seeing them. She thought they were enemies, but no, they were her friends. These three were her good friends. Alexa and her teammates came out of their hiding place.
“Hey guys, how are you? ” Jeni asked them. Seeing them coming out from the hiding place, Jeni suddenly asked.
“We are fine Jeni. How are you? Are you together? I never thought Tony would form a team with anyone,” Alexa said. It also surprised her to see them together.
“Yeah, something happened, and we formed a team. Many of our teammates got attacked by the enemy from the dark association and sent back to the warrior association. Because of this, we formed a team,” Tony said. Hearing him, Alexa also nodded. She also heard that they got attacked by a group of warriors from the dark association and also they got attacked by the summoned monster. So, it was natural that many of their teammates would be sent back to the association because not everyone was like them as early D-grade warriors.
