Chapter 48: First Night
Chapter 48: First Night
Shye and his party members were currently walking towards an unexplored area even for Shye.
He led his party members here because he wanted to continue exploring the beginner adventurer zone while letting his party members fight against suitable creatures and every time they encounter an apex predator, Shye protects his party members by fighting it alone.
However, he still hasn't revealed the fact that he can dual-wield now because keeping a few trump cards close to his chest will surely save him in the future.
Not to mention, his classmates were all chatterboxes so it would be unwise to reveal it here when there was no need to.
After killing a few red foxes, rough-skinned raccoons, and Greywolves, his classmates finally got the hang of hunting creatures.
They were now more confident to move a bit farther away from Shye to look for creatures to battle.
Of course, Shye wasn't a despicable person who would abuse his power and steal the loot of his classmates who worked very hard to slay the creatures.
One of his classmates even directly asked him if he would be taking a portion of their loot. Upon hearing that all their loot would belong to them, his classmates jumped up and down in happiness.
Shye was the one protecting all of them so they felt that they had to share a portion of their loot with him but fortunately for them, their captain let them share it among themselves.
However, Shye also took all the loot of every apex predator he killed without sharing it with his classmates.
They didn't mind it though since they would be lucky to survive encountering one and it would currently be impossible for them to kill one anyway even if all six of them joined forces.
Having their captain protect them and let them share the loot among themselves is good enough for them and they dare not ask for more.
After a whole day of hunting, the first night finally came. Shye himself hadn't experienced nighttime inside the beginner adventurer zone so even he was a bit uneasy.
Shye and his party members decided to set up camp in a spacious and clear area.
They decided to camp here so that the one assigned as a sentry for the night would be able to spot the enemies and have ample time to wake everyone up and prepare for combat.
His party members were having trouble deciding if they should light up a campfire because they weren't sure if they would attract apex creatures if they did so.
Fortunately for them, they were together with Shye so he told them to just light up a campfire and leave the first shift of the sentry to him.
After hearing their captain's words, his classmates started to feel at ease. They happily lit up a huge campfire and set up their sleeping bags near it.
Since Shye would be the one to assume the first shift as a sentry, they let him have a quick nap while they were roasting the meat from an Irontusk Boar that they managed to defeat before they stopped hunting for the day.
After an hour, Shye naturally woke up due to the fantastic smell of the roasted pork meat. Although his classmates were very weak compared to them, he was no match to them when it came to roasting pork.
He vowed to study the art of roasting meat because he wanted to enjoy meals like this when he went adventuring after graduating from the academy.
Everyone happily chatted with each other about casual things as they ate the delicious roasted pork for dinner.
After everyone was done eating, his classmates slept in early because one of them needed to wake up early to change shifts with Shye.
Just like this, Shye and his party members' first night in the beginner adventurer zone passed without any problems.

"Since everyone is ready, let's continue adventuring"
The sun slowly rose as Shye and his party members finished packing their camping stuff. They decided to continue adventuring early so they could find some shade and rest at noon time.
Meanwhile, in an area not far from Shye's party, Theoden, Leonardo, and Eusford met up.
"I've already located Crowley's party. Have you found the ember tiger?"
"Yeah, luckily it wasn't that far from Crowley's party."
The three of them looked at each other and smiled wickedly.
"Now then...Shall we execute our plan?"
