Shang sat down in one of many chairs inside one of the rooms on the third floor of the main building.

Several other students were with Shang in the room, and a couple of them threw worried glances at him while whispering to their neighbors, who then also shot a look at Shang.

Shang tried to ignore it, but it was way too obvious what they were talking about.

All the students in the room were 16 and 17 years old, except for Shang.

A couple of minutes of whispering later, the teacher entered.

She looked to be in her late twenties, and she had long black hair, her eyes detached and distant.

She inspected everyone present, and her gaze lingered a bit longer on Shang.

"Let's start class," she announced.

Everyone quieted down.

Then, Teacher Niria began her lesson.

This afternoon, she was teaching the class about the northeastern forest.

She talked about Swamp Millipedes and Vanishing Snakes, but most of all, she talked about the Empress Cobra Zone. The northeastern forest was adjacent to the Empress Cobra Zone, and there was a high likelihood that the students would find some beasts from there in the northeastern forest.

She talked about the climate and how the beasts behaved.

And that was already it for the lesson.

There was so much to learn about the northeastern forest that it couldn't be covered in just one lesson. Today, she had only talked about the special things one could expect to come across in the northeastern forest. The local flora and fauna would be taught in different lessons.

After the lesson was finished, several students walked up to teacher Niria to ask questions, which she very quickly answered with the least words possible.

Several minutes later, all the students had left.

That was when Shang walked up to her.

"Do you have a question?" teacher Niria asked with practiced ease.

"My question would be if it is safe for me to speak right now," Shang said.

Teacher Niria's eyes narrowed ever so slightly. "Follow me," she ordered.

Shang and Teacher Niria left the room and then the building.

After walking towards the north, past nearly all of the training fields, teacher Niria stopped. At the moment, Shang and teacher Niria were directly beneath the northwestern wall.
