Benjamin's POV "Now you've done it! Is it even safe here!? The forest is alive! Surely you knew it!? You really want us to die, don't you?!" Jacob sharply turned his head while slightly raising his voice. Every step he took, each question flew out of his mouth. He was about to be rude once again, and he almost grabbed Sir Payne by the collar. Good thing the three of us instantly stopped him. We got used to his attitude already. All four of us have been together ever since we were young and old enough to understand our duties and responsibilities. Sir Payne looked at him with a grim expression on his face. "What am I? A murderer? The very reason I'm doing this is for all of you!" He looked at Jacob with a pained expression on his face. Which took all of us aback, and we were surprised that he has shown this emotion to us. "Then why!? What if we died in there?!" Jacob's voice roared across the field, concerned for everyone's well-being. "Everyone was granted access to the woods. Incl

Jacob's POV"Why haven't we thought of that?! Congrats Club! Sometimes you do make sense!" Ramirez beamed through the link."Thanks for the compliment, Miss Crabbypants." Henry just scoffed."I'll surely tell Zero when we get back. Even if you're one of the council!" she responded after kicking some silver shurikens away. She used her pheromones to minimize the damage to her feet.I thought hard about what Henry said. The situation right now is unideal to confront or sneak upon them. We were too busy and hung up with the forest's mysterious structure. Because of that, we almost forgot that the answer is right in front of us, hiding. Or it's much more accurate to say they're always above us.Three of them are here, but there are only two groups of Moonlight class present. Ours and Kevin Guerrero's. Even if we managed to catch three of them, one would be useless. I couldn't just give free information to other groups; they obviously had to earn it. My brain was formulating some plan while

Jacob's POVWe heard stifled laughter above us. Two of them, to be exact. It looks like they are the other two."You even made our target laugh? That is quite a record, Henry." Xander chuckled through the link.We all tried to evade the bushes, but they kept on following us. The smoke figures were just that. Merely figures. But the fog is really making it hard for us to see where we are going. Thankfully, all of us could rely on our heightened senses. Well, everyone from Moonlight is special, but I'm still slightly worried for the others. At the same time I don't give a fuck about them. They can take care of themselves for all I know. A confusing contradiction as I'm well aware.The bushes were still chasing us. I commented that we should let them tire themselves out so that we could reserve our energy and strength."Ever heard of running bushes that get tired, anyone??" Henry asked, and we all tried to stop our laughs."Pffft. Please stop it already, Henry! You would be the death of

Jacob's POV With the help of my grumpy groupmates, we opened the advanced link once again for everyone. I cannot open it by myself; in the meantime. My mental strength was pushed to its limits. 'Told you we should pack more of her things so that we wouldn't be this exhausted and irritated.' Luke howled at me, and I just replied that we are ending this now, so he should cooperate. Thank Goddess, that was effective. I was getting weary of having to repeat to him, that how on earth could we pack more of her things when we don't have them in the first place!? "Everyone.." I called out through the link. "Wake up and get ready." Lots of yawns and groans were passed to the link. And even if all of us were beyond drained out, we dragged our feet to the canteen just to eat our breakfast. Before going, I left her scrunchie by my bed. So that I wouldn't have to bury it in the ground. We talked while filling our stomachs. After thirty minutes or so, everyone was done. For the first time in th

Jacob's POVFinally! At long last! We are going back to Woodhill. Today is Tuesday, and we were supposed to go back yesterday. But the Bloodbury teachers and staff won't let us go, as they insisted that what we did was unfair. Teaming up as a class.Sir Payne argued that it is his decision whether he'll let us pass or not, and Bloodbury University shouldn't have a say about it. Turns out, that was also their mock mission—keeping the information and not letting spies infiltrate the forest. They failed, of course, as our group saw the flowery path and that bloody secret of theirs. We wondered why only five of them were taking the mock mission. Sir Payne told us that their system is different from ours.They were filtered out, and those five were the finalists. But yeah, again, they failed with their mission and maybe got a low mark regarding it. Nevertheless, we don't care about them.Their one main goal is to keep the information and us for at least two months!! As Sir Payne shared wit
