Chapter 114: Field Assessment (7)

Kain and Aria explored around the southern half of the lake, making sure to remain covered by the vegetation.

Kain also had the additional task of keeping an eye on Aria.

Thankfully, she wasn't causing any trouble. However, her face was strangely flushed whenever he checked on her.

If diseases weren't practically unheard of in this world, he'd be worried that she was sick with something.

An hour later they met back up as planned with the other three.

"Any chance you guys spotted the target? We did find an Astral Stag group, but neither the leader nor any of the members of the group had a flag" Kain asked hopefully.

They all shook their heads. "No luck. However, we did come across Addison's group. They said that they'd keep a look out for Astral Stags with a flag if we also kept an eye out for their target—A Mirror Hummingbird nest. Apparently, there should be a small badge with the college's crest inside of the nest."
