One night, Verak was placed in a vacant dormitory by Headmaster Brooke, which was the result of Verak's own insistence. At first, Wood originally wanted Verak to live with him, but Principal Brooke had no objection and expressed respect for Wood's choice.

However, Verak did not agree to Wood's proposal, and insisted on sleeping alone at night, leaving no one with him.

Although Wood felt a little sad in his heart, out of politeness, he still respected Verak's own choice.

At night, when Wood sleeps, it feels like someone is crying incessantly, but when Wood listens carefully, the sound is gone. It felt like the wind was sobbing, and hearing such a sound at night was a bit unsettling.

Wood managed to fall asleep, but it didn't take long for the day to dawn. Vikra came to look for Wood early in the morning, and when he saw Wood's haggard look, he couldn't help but ask:

"Wood, are you not feeling well?"

Wickla seemed to be interested in school riding, and before going to bed yesterday he asked Wood if he could learn to fly as well as they did.

In a daze, Wood remembered that he had promised Wickla last night that he would take him to learn to fly today. Wood doesn't know why Wickla lives in the wizarding world and never uses a school ride.

This school ride is not for the exclusive use of the Bird Silent Academy, but a means of transportation used by people throughout the wizarding world. Because Wickla had just arrived, he wasn't very familiar with some of the surrounding areas, so Wood didn't ask much. It would be nice to think that I want Vikra to feel comfortable and suitable for my future studies. As for the rest, Wood felt that none of them were very important, and if they became familiar with each other in the future, Vikra himself would tell Wood.

"I heard some movement last night, so I didn't sleep well. What about you, the first time you slept here, did you feel uncomfortable?" Wood asked with concern, as if he had suddenly become sensible since Vikra arrived.

Although Wickla and Wood seem to be about the same age, Wood always treats Wickla like a big brother. Everything is for Vikla's sake, partly because he thinks Vikra is somewhat similar to the elven prince from a certain perspective, and partly because Wood has a sense of familiarity with Vikra. It felt like they should have known each other for a long time, but for some reason they only met at this time.

To put it bluntly, there is a kind of meaning of seeing each other late, and Wood doesn't know why he feels this way, and he doesn't know if Vikra feels the same way.

"I grew up without a home, so it didn't matter to me where I slept at all, it was who was around me. Vikra said, his tone still devoid of emotion. If it weren't for the fact that Wood was already familiar with Wickla's way of speaking, he would have thought he was angry with someone.

"I'm in a similar situation to you, I haven't even met my own parents. I was abandoned in the snow, but fortunately I didn't freeze to death. Wood laughed and said that for some reason, Wood didn't feel the slightest heartache when he told Vikra about his experience as a child.

Perhaps, this is the connection of fate.

"How much do you remember from the past?" asked Vikra.

"Unless it's something I don't remember before, I remember almost everything after that. It's just that those memories aren't very good, so I don't want to talk about them with anyone else. Wood said he really didn't want to talk about the past anymore. Even if you seem to be in a good mood, this experience is like a good scar, and if you want to know how the scar is doing, you have to poke it vigorously.

Since Wood had said he didn't want to mention it again, Vikra didn't ask too much. Wickla didn't have a school rider of his own, so he had to use the speed with Wood. The speed of the flight was indeed very fast, and they circled the entire academy several times at a rapid pace.

"That forest is the dark forest I told you about yesterday, do you see those dark clouds above the woods? There must be a reason why the academy has made it a forbidden area, I think it's better not to try to get close there. Wood watched as Vikra's gaze had been fixed on the smoky woods, and he couldn't help but persuade.

Wood felt that Wickra could not be allowed to enter the restricted area alone under any circumstances. Although Wood had already known Tris there, they had not had the opportunity to see the dangers of the Dark Forest.

Wood still remembers how ugly Professor Shivara was when he came to pick them up. Presumably, Professor Shivala didn't make a public statement at the time, because he was afraid of the impression of the Dark Forest in everyone's minds.

If anyone knew that they had been to the Dark Forest, they would definitely set off a bloody storm in the Bird Whispering Academy.

I wonder if Tris will feel lonely living there alone?

"Don't worry, I'm not going to gamble my own life. If I'm going to go, I'm going to know what to do and not put myself at the top of the danger. Vikra said, his tone always calm, and he couldn't hear any change in his heart.

"You know, I'm telling you that we see with our eyes, and we haven't encountered any real dangers yet. None of us know what we will encounter there or what will happen. Therefore, without everyone's consent, you will never be able to leave the Bird Silent Academy for half a step. This is the rule, and all students at the Bird Whisper Academy must abide by it. Wood emphatically said that for fear that he would not pay attention, Vikra would quietly slip away alone.

"Thank you, Wood. Vikra said suddenly, not knowing why he thanked Wood.

Wood just smiled and didn't look at Vicla.

The wind hung down on their faces, and it felt so comfortable. The rays of the newborn sun shone on them, making them feel as if they were bathing in the sun.

"Are you happy here?" asked Vikra suddenly, wondering what had come to mind.

"Very good, compared to my previous life, it should be a big improvement. Before, before I came here, my life could be said to be very bad, very bad. In order to be able to feed myself, I will do things that I feel bad. At that time, my life just revolved around being able to feed myself. But after meeting Principal Brooke, my life changed dramatically.
