After assembling the team, Kain led them around the square to determine their location.
He was simulating the locations of the houses, and then assembling them into the master map to see where they were.
This ti, it was quite lucky, because after a while of checking, they ended up staying in the western living area, which was exactly what was planned from the beginning.
This discovery made everyone in the team breathe a sigh of relief. To be honest, even if the other groups of students did not interfere with each other, living in the sa area with other groups was still better than struggling alone in this sea of creepy fog. If this was the east and Kain forced them to move away from everyone else, at least elents like Hector or Leo would feel pressured.
However, Kain did not forget to pour cold water on them, in order to awaken them from that unrealistic "safety".
"Don't be too happy, the more people gather here, the greater the chance of attracting monsters. And the lonely fortress itself is sohow a place that attracts monsters. If you want to live, you must not have a lucky ntality."
Kain's voice was bone-chilling, sending goosebumps down everyone's spines. But then, his voice softened.
"It's good that we can quickly et up with other teams. In a place like this, unity is strength."
He knew that although putting pressure on his teammates was the right thing to do to keep their vigilance from slipping, it was also necessary to combine it with hope and relaxation, to keep them from being crushed to the point of collapse.
Because they were in the sa area, Kain's team quickly arrived at their destination.
A long road, leading straight to the gate leading to the western garrison area.
"We will live here."
Kain said, this ti taking the lead.
First, they had to choose a house to use as their base.
Kain had no high requirents, but there was one thing that he had to adhere to, and that was that the house he chose had to be low.
Why low? Of course, because living in high places here is no different from isolating yourself, and it's dangerous to be surrounded.
Normally, high places are preferred because of their visibility, but in this place where you can't see your fingers, the so-called "long-range vision" basically doesn't exist.
Very quickly, Kain selected two houses located next to each other.
"From today, we will live here. n separate, won separate."
"These places are also right next to each other, so it's easy to take care of each other."
"Anyone have any comnts?"
The girls didn't say anything, Kain glanced at Hector and Leo, both of them shook their heads, how could they dare to have an opinion, having an opinion wouldn't be seeking death?
"Alright, if there are no objections, then everyone move in. Then we'll proceed to reinforce the shelter."
After discovering that there was nothing dangerous lurking inside, the six of them entered the two houses one by one and proceeded to reinforce them.
Because the houses themselves are extrely sturdy, reinforcent is also very light.
But that's not all, Kain assigned the two [Earth Magic] users, ra and Hector, to create tunnels, one connecting between two houses, one connecting to the outside, aiming in the right direction of the city wall, a third tunnel then leads back deeper into the living area. . During that process, Myra would follow.
anwhile, Kain, Katie, and Leo will split off into another small group, tasked with spreading warnings around the area.
Even if they have to split up, they will still try to always maintain a formation of three to avoid leaving anyone out.
…
At the sa ti, a male and female student couple were holding hands and entering a house.
Obviously, they are choosing where to live.
"I didn't expect the academy to throw us here."
"Yeah, luckily, I was ntally prepared to fight in the wilderness."
The male student smirked.
Both of them saw a house that was quite large compared to the other houses nearby and were very satisfied. In their subconscious, places like this would usually provide them with more space, thereby increasing the safety ratio.
However, that is in case there are more of them than just two.
Obviously, they still don't realize the seriousness of the situation.
"You wait here, I'll go check it out, it'll be very soon."
The male student patted his chest, spoke confidently, and then walked in. The female student did not object.
But five minutes passed, then ten, and the house was still as quiet as a grave.
The female student gradually lost patience, she shouted her lover's na, but there was no response from inside.
"No way, if there was a battle, there should be magic."
They were all Magus, all capable of defending themselves. So the female student did not believe that her boyfriend would be taken down without any movent.
She called the boy's na again, but her call was like a stone sinking to the bottom of the sea.
So, she decided to go in.
…
Going to the surrounding area, Kain told Katie to take out the tal bells he had asked her to prepare. These bells would be hooked to the wires and hung around their base. Not only on the streets, but also on the roofs, as long as a monster accidentally stepped on them, the bells would ring, alerting them imdiately.
However, due to the nature of this place, these bell warnings are only placed about a hundred ters away from the headquarters.
Not much, but enough to give them reaction ti to attacks.
"I wonder if we can get through the first day safely..."
Leo muttered, suddenly, his expression changed.
"Wait, guys… do you hear any sounds?"
Leo wasn't sure, because the sound just now was a bit too vague.
But Kain nodded firmly.
"It's a scream, and a little explosion, it seems magic."
"Is soone fighting?"
But if even they heard it, then there is only one explanation.
The enemy is very near.
"Leo, Katie, we have to go back. Prepare to fight."
"We're going to have visitors."
