The hunters

Loki who had successfully escaped from Margarette's grasp decided to follow Illya to her home. He was quite curious about the Gardsons so he wanted to see what they were all about.

After school was done, Loki followed Illya towards her abode. So he told the people from the academy that he would be going home by himself. 

Illya was walking home but during her walk, she seemed to have looped around a few streets several times. 

'This must be her way of making stalkers or pursuers unable to find her abode. The way she looks for anyone tailing her looks both professional and amateurish at the same time. Well, she is an inexperienced kid.' 

Loki was quite amused by the way Illya did things. Once the little lady was sure that no one was following her she walked out of the city and headed into the woods. Loki who was following her from behind found the forest had some sort of barrier protecting it.
