After a rough night, many students woke up feeling like their limbs had just been replaced, unwilling to move.

“Don’t we have the anti–magnetic device? We survived the storm; what other dangers could there be?” Some couldn’t help but complain.

Stanley wanted to stay lying down too, but as soon as he heard someone badmouth Quinlyn, he sprang up and retorted, “Don’t complain just because you got lucky. If you don’t want to leave, then stay here! We’ll go on without you!” With that, he strode confidently out of the cave.

Quinlyn watched his crab–like gait and couldn’t help but smile slightly before following. The other students had no choice but to suck it up and leave with them.

reassure her.

Quinlyn’s eyes remained fixed ahead as she spoke softly, “I think the artifact thief is nearby.”

Michael paused, nearly losing his footing. In a flash, he recalled that map. “Is it the training destination? Has th compromised system set up the criminals‘ hideout as the objective?”

“Exactly,” Quinlyn nodded, her expression calm.
