"I'm dying," Lirio gasped. His expression was very pale as he lay on his back on the ground, looking up at the sky that had lost its brightness. His chest rose and fell regularly. "Well done, guys! Your punishment is complete," Amael said cheerfully as he looked at them with a mocking smile. Only on these few occasions could he mock them.
He was satisfied with himself. Lisa rolled her eyes at him, thinking internally, "Was he a child?"
"Give me water," Matias shouted frustratedly. He had been asking Amael for water for more than ten minutes, but he was so focused on mocking them that he didn't pay the slightest attention.
Amael glanced at him sideways. He had the same condition as Lirio; in fact, the girls were in the same situation. With an indifferent smile, he took out more bottles of water. "You guys need to improve that physique," he murmured under his breath. The tired expressions of the boys froze, but they still drank fiercely from the bottle of water.
After a few minutes of silence, Matias asked with an extremely serious voice, "How's it going for the seventh squadron?" Amael frowned and looked at him intently, seeing how calm he was. He sighed, "They released some explorers to check the situation in zone 5." His expression turned somber as he fell silent for a few seconds. "They disappeared," he said seriously.
"No trace of them could be found. The captain sent a smaller group with the mission to search for clues and find out what happened to them, but they found nothing. From the empire's headquarters, the prince heir's group was assigned the extermination mission. According to the data collected by all the explorers, the crazy bastards were in Emerald rank," he said, sighing as he lit a cigarette.
The atmosphere fell silent, and Amael's eyes lit up.
"By the way, guys, there's news," he said with a mysterious smile, arousing the curiosity of the four. They looked at him expectantly, and a smile appeared on Amael's lips. This situation reminded him of when they were still little children.
He coughed a little embarrassedly before continuing, "All the recruits from the hunting faculty will have an event that will take place with the first-year students," he said proudly. Rose raised her hand in confusion. The others nodded, also not understanding what the instructor meant.
He rolled his eyes, and the joy disappeared from his body. "What I mean is that all of you will have to form groups with the first-year students to perform an event together. It'll be the third one, to be more precise," he said as he walked away slowly, raising his right hand in farewell. "It'll be in a week," he added before entering the punishment room.
The three looked at each other with anticipation. The hunting faculty was very different from the others; it was very far from the other headquarters, even from the squadrons' fields. At that moment, the first squadron was filled with new students.
In fact, the first three squadrons were like the first three classes of the academy, but with more students, with 50 in each of the three classes, totaling 150.
Their training field was located at the other end of the End City, about 20 kilometers away from the forest. Unlike the first-year students of other faculties, they were not inside the academy. The only time they could be inside was when the enrollments were open. After joining the cult hunters' faculty, they never set foot in the academy again.
They had been curious about the door that could take them to a dimension where if they died, it wouldn't happen in real life. They had asked the instructor why they couldn't use the door like the others.

He said that Professor Cristal couldn't recreate the forest for some reason. In the past, she had tried, but every time she did, she ended up with a tremendous headache and all her mana reserves depleted, even reaching the point of almost having a violent reaction. In the end, she shook her head sadly, saying she could recreate a great forest similar to the End Forest, but with different details.
There was a small meeting among the faculty's higher-ups to decide what to do. At the end of the meeting, they rejected the offer. The principles of the faculty's explorers were to know the zones like the back of their hand, and the forest Professor Cristal had in mind wasn't useful to them.
In the end, they decided to keep the practices as they were, with the fields already built near the End Forest. Of course, they took into account the students' casualties, but the faculty assured that no recruit student would die during their practices.
"Maybe the door is really that magical," Matias said with bright eyes, with a touch of longing. "Naive!" Lirio shouted with sparkling eyes. "We're talking about the prodigious Professor Cristal, the epitome of dimensional magic," he said fervently as he clenched his fist. "With a real name!"
Matias, Rose, and Lisa's eyes gleamed. With the mention that someone had a real name, their hearts pounded. It was every soldier's dream in the empire. "Besides, they say she's a beauty," Rose said subtly. The four of them daydreamed for a moment.
"What do you think of the three classes?" Lisa asked curiously. "I, personally, want to see what they're capable of," Matias said. "What do you mean?" Rose asked confusedly. "What I mean is that the three classes are the strongest among the others, but the primitive class is where all the prodigies and future rulers of the empire really are," he clenched his fist tightly.
"I can't wait to be able to fight some of them," he said with a smile.
"I understand that the first event was won by the young Dragon," Lisa said. "Yes, the second was won by the War Goddess," Lirio said excitedly. Lisa frowned annoyed and pinched his side, causing Lirio to scream in pain as he rolled on the ground.
"The mini-event was won by Charlotte Darkwood," Lisa said, frowning as she looked at Lirio.
