After breakfast, they all headed to the assembly hall and waited for further instructions. When the whole students were finally here, General Lila decided to inform them the rules and everything.

    "Welcome all of you to your weekly portal outing." Lila said with a smile on her face.

    "You will all go through this portal," Lila said pointing to a green coloured portal behind her. "And will be transported somewhere to hunt for three hours straight. Mind you, there are only basic tier beasts there. And each of you are to donate ten percent of your crystals after hunting to the academy."

    Lila looked at all the students to see if there was going to be a protest among them. "You will all go in to the portals with your team you made in your first year. For those of you that your team is incomplete due to not having enough students, you can join up with teams that aren''t full. You all have thirty minutes to quickly get to it. And your time starts now."

    Immediately Lila finished talking, the teams that didn''t have complete members, started recruiting some lone students meanwhile Jake and his team stood off to the side watching everything going on. While Jake was somewhat absentminded.

    After thirty minutes, the whole students each had a team and Lila came forward again to address them. "Good. I want you to know that because of some circumstances, no sergeant will accompany you so we have made some arrangements and hired some members of a guild to be on standby Incase of a problem."

    The students were now mumbling wondering what was going on. Not caring about what the students were mumbling about, Lila decided to continue.

    "May I introduce to you, members of the Iron fist Guild." Lila said and then immediately four individuals came on stage.

    Seeing the four of them, Jake who was not mostly listening to what was being said now had his widened by what he was seeing. ''no no no, this is bad. Out of all the Guilds they are, why did they have to hire this specific guild and this specific members.''

    Unknown to Jake, the academy didn''t want to hire the Iron Fist Guild before. They wanted to hire another Guild but when the Iron Fist Guild found out, they volunteered themselves and sent this specific members. It was all the work of the one in charge of this Guild branch here in the town.

    Although he didn''t want to do anything earlier when Scar reported but hearing that someone dared to steal from him, he decided to investigate and luckily for him, he found information about Jake and how to find him so when he found out that Aurora Academy were hiring Guilds to protect the students, he decided to send his Guild instead.

    "Should we execute the plan now?"

    Kilberg just smiled. "Patience Kim, it''s not yet time. I need to study him some more."

    Kim didn''t argue back because he knew how Kilberg could get. And he knew how dangerous he could be. Back at the forest, Jake and his team were navigating their way through the forest while leaving trails and tracks of their whereabouts on the trees thanks to Vynn''s suggestion.

    "You know it''s good you attended that Survival skills club otherwise we wouldn''t have known to keep tracks." Peter said.

    "Well you wouldn''t have known because you are quite dense." Sophia said. "So speak for yourself."

    "Who are you calling dense? You fool." Peter shouted.

    "I''m calling you dense Peter and you see, this is the reason you can''t get yourself a girlfriend. Look at how you are screaming at lady." Sophia said.

    "Will you guys stop it." Kate shouted. "The way you guys are shouting, will attract beasts towards us."

    "Too late." Jack said. "We are under attack now."

    Immediately, they all stood side by side to look at what they were up against. The beasts that were attacking them were all looking like Lady bugs but much more bigger. They were giant Lady bugs. From their waist up till their upper bodies, they had normal bug like bodies with antennas on their heads while their lower bodies had a stinger and they were all 10 of them ready to attack their team.

    Jake and his team seeing them, immediately went into formation ready for battle.
