Nightfall

As Jay chatted with Kesar as they moved along, James walked through the woods along with the young man he had caught, and Sarah tested her theories for passing the exam with the unfortunate red-haired girl, the afternoon came. 

"Haa... is it just me or do you also think that we've been walking in circles...?" Said Kesar, who had a somewhat tired look on his face,

Even though he had rested less than 15 minutes ago, his physical energy was already starting to deplete again.

However, he couldn't be blamed, he was used to simply spending his time immersed in the study of elemental magic or learning and improving his spells, so a long walk through a forest whose terrain was uneven was quite exhausting for him.

"It shouldn't be the case, we've been checking the path every so often after all..." Jay replied.

Although his tone was confident, the reality was that he was also thinking the same thing.
