63 New Art Atticus settled in his training room and retrieved the art from his storage ring. With focused determination, he channeled his mana into it.

61 End of Training Atticus reached the bottom of the cliff and observed how other trainees were climbing. Although he hadn't done it before, he knew it was a straightforward process: ensure you have a stable foothold before moving upwards. 'The traps here are obvious, the handholds,' Atticus realized. He knew that some of the handholds used by trainees to ascend would be traps. 'I'll have to be extra careful. They aren't so easy to spot,' he thought. With this in mind, he placed one hand on a…

As Atticus emerged from the forest, he observed some of his fellow trainees already in the water. He remained cautious, knowing that there could be traps hidden beneath the surface.

As soon as Elias walked into the training grounds, everyone stiffened; it was as if their bodies were already anticipating the impending hardship. Elias began to speak, "Congratulations. Most of you have been able to make it back in time during these past month." His words were praiseworthy, yet none of them felt elation.

58 Extra firm Upon arriving at the camp, Atticus went directly to his room. When he reached his door, he noticed a girl holding a tray of food waiting patiently outside his door. She had white hair and stood at 5 feet tall, exuding an aloof demeanor. It was none other than Ember who stood against the wall, her eyes fixed on the door, anticipating his arrival. Seeing her brought a smile to Atticus's lips. "Hey, Ember, what's up?" he greeted, walking up to her. Ember, noticing his arrival,…

55 Retreat After running through the forest for some time, they reached a cliffside, and Hella turned towards the squad. "Keep in mind, while the Arachnix isn't that strong in direct combat, it has an army at its disposal," she instructed. "Plus, there's a chance that reinforcements might arrive while we're in combat. If that happens, we'll withdraw without hesitation." The interconnected nature of the caves meant that another Arachnix could potentially pick up on the sounds of battle. These…
