Chapter 132
Cypher and Angela belonged to Group 8, and not long after we had started exploring, an unsettling chill crept through the air. Goosebumps erupted on their arms as the wind picked up and the surroundings grew foggy—all of this happening when it was just 11:00 A.M. The forest had transformed into a haunting landscape, filled with an eerie mist that swirled around them.
Just the environment was scary and spooky enough, but there were also all kinds of traps just like the instructor said.
Sharpened poisoned bamboos suddenly sprang up from the ground, while razor-sharp arrows flew towards them from hidden mechanisms. Even unsettling ghosts appeared to frighten them, adding to the chaos.
Soon enough, all corners of the forest were filled with screams.
"Aahhh!"
"What the—frickin’ hell!"
"What’s that—bleurgh!"
"Disgusting!"
As a creepy double-headed ghost emerged, its intestines grotesquely dripping, the members of Group 8 suddenly fell to the ground, paralyzed by terror. Three of them couldn’t handle the gruesome sight and immediately vomited.
Angela furrowed her brow, wondering if the Academy was trying to give them nightmares to celebrate the start of school. She let out a deep sigh, placing her hand over her heart in an attempt to steady herself.
"This is becoming more of a haunted forest than just a normal training exercise," she muttered.
