Barrier

Ai Hui heard a faint sound.

He raised his head and looked around, listening attentively.

The bonfire was burning brightly, and the students were recovering from that wild wagon ride. The freshness of it all significantly improved their moods as they settled down around the fierce flames and chatted. Some of the more lively and outgoing students even started singing and dancing. Teacher Xu was also infected by everyone’s enthusiasm and could be seen full of smiles.

Ai Hui did not join them, and instead, he quietly sat under a big tree about forty meters away from the bonfire.

A fire in the countryside at night was the most eye-catching target. It was too easy to attract wild beasts.

Ai Hui was aware that the Induction Ground was devoid of violent beasts and that there was an expert like Instructor Zhou to protect them—there wouldn’t be much danger in this excursion. However, due to habit, hiding in the dark had already been ingrained as an instinct. He always felt safer that way.
