Twilight felt that she was too impulsive afterwards, and the words she said to Shikasawa did sound stupid and naïve, but at the time she really wanted to find someone to talk to.

In this mysterious academy, even Ye Qian, who seems to be the friendliest roommate, seems to be hiding an unknown side of herself, obviously only three days, as if she has spent three years.

“…… Wait until the day you know what you are......"

“…… All because of your own peculiarities. ”

Twilight didn't think she was a timid person before, but whether it was the meaningful words of A and Shikazawa, or the changes that had occurred in her over the past few days, she felt uneasy like never before.

She wants to save Nan, wants to help everyone, and wants to figure out the "dark place" for herself

The truth.

She pinched the brooch in her pocket, her eyes growing more determined.

Contrary to Twilight's imagination, the service began very hastily.

The rumored A who presided over and designed this assessment did not appear.

At the end of the day's breakfast time, all the first-year students stood on the lawn outside the castle empty-handed, dressed in their house uniforms, organized by H.

"This is an oil lamp, and your task is to go into the misty forest next to it, find oil and fire in it, and bring the lit lamp back to the castle."

H motioned to Ye Qian, who she liked the most, to help her send the copper oil lamp in the basket down, "Attention, the wind in the forest will become smaller in the afternoon, but the wind will become stronger again after sunset, if you don't want the oil lamp to go out on the way back, you have to grasp the time to come back." ”

H winked at them playfully, and his tone was full of hints, "Don't worry about the fog in the forest, with this light, you will always come back." ”

She subconsciously played with her curls, the smile on her face still gentle and friendly, "I hope you can all bring good news." ”

With that, she waved her hand at the first-graders, motioning for them to enter the forest with the bronze lamps in their hands.

Twilight breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that Ye Qian was not looking at her, but looked down and rummaged through the oil lamp in her hand, not knowing what she was thinking.

On the first night of entering the academy, Twilight told Ye Qian that if she could form a team, she hoped to worship with her, which was indeed sincere.

However, Lu Ze had warned Twilight that they needed to explore the depths of the Misty Forest this week, and that he would also come to join Twilight halfway, so Twilight really couldn't say anything to Ye Qian.

Fortunately, Ye Qian looked at the oil lamp in his hand without saying a word, and when Li Hui confidently became the first student to enter the forest, Ye Qian also walked in with the others.

"Don't follow me."

Kuri glared at the first grade behind her in disgust, emphasizing the competitive relationship between them, "We are rivals, opponents!" ”

She demonstratively waved her clenched fist, "I'm going this way, if you dare to come along, I'm not polite!" ”

Then Kurika held the oil lamp in his hand and disappeared into the mist of the forest with his head held high.

The other first-year students hesitated in front of the forest, but eventually formed a team in twos and threes, tentatively choosing different directions and walking deeper into the forest.

At this moment, Ye Qian glanced up at Duxi.

It's hard to describe the look in her eyes.

Her brow furrowed slightly, her eyelids half-closed, and the corners of her mouth glanced down slightly, as if she was looking at Twilight in front of her, and as if she was expecting something from her.

"Ye Qian......"

Twilight opened her mouth subconsciously, but she didn't know what to say to her.

Ye Qian shook her head instead, and a small, face-to-face smile bloomed with her habitual one, "Come on." ”

She whispered, and walked into the forest with the oil lamp in her hand.

A sense of powerlessness swept through Twilight's body, more shameful than her own stupid speech in front of Shikasawa before.

Twilight couldn't deny that she took the seemingly casual invitation to team up as a promise to Ye Qian.

After all, in the past few days of study, Ye Qian generously gave her a lot of guidance, and never worked with Li Hui and others, and deliberately came to her to say something sour after Twilight Xi was praised by the teacher.

Twilight bit her lip, she thought she could help Ye Qian during the service, but she couldn't.

Twilight hastily chose a direction and walked briskly into the forest.

When the view between the castle and the forest was completely blocked by the fog, Twilight took out the brooch given by Shikazawa from his pocket and pinned it to him, so that he had time to look at the bronze oil lamp that H had distributed to the first grade.

The lamp was not carved with any elaborate and ornate textures, but it was smooth enough, and there was a little bit of uncleaned green patina on the base, as if it had just been removed from some wet place.

Dungeon.

The picture that A shows her suddenly jumps in front of Twilight's eyes again.

"To the left."

Before Twilight could think about anything, Shikazawa's calm and cold voice suddenly appeared in her ears.

"Go around the three entwined trees and wait for me by the bushes next to them."

After he passed the guò brooch to Twilight's instructions, he stopped talking.

Twilight did as Shikazawa had said, standing by a low bush and taking a closer look at her surroundings.

According to her senses, the straight-line distance between here and the castle would not exceed a thousand meters, but the white fog around her was getting thicker and thicker, and the visibility was very low, if it wasn't for Lu Ze's reminder, she wouldn't have been able to find the three big trees less than ten meters away from her.

The three big trees are so thick and heavy that neither of them can necessarily hug each other.

They were crawling with vines, and the branches of the trees were entangled in the process of growing.

The tree in the middle is relatively short, and the one on the left is the tallest, like a family that is entangled and inseparable.

Twilight was startled by her own association, but when she looked down, she noticed the soft and delicate grass beneath her feet.

The weeds in the forest were the same as the lawn outside the castle, and the height was neat, as if it had been manicured.

"This is still the outskirts of the forest, and we are short on time, so come with me now."

Shikazawa's voice emerged from the mist before his vague figure, "The lamp oil and tinder are placed on both sides of the forest, now is not a good time to go and get them." ”

"Wait."

Twilight quickly followed him until the two of them walked side by side, "Where are we going first?" ”

"The edge of the forest."

Lu Ze didn't look at her, and shuttled through the forest quickly and steadily, "You have the protection of the academy, and the fog won't stop you from getting close there." ”
