"We've arrived."
The lead instructor, Rudo, stopped in front of a sheer cliff.
The students followed Rudo forward to observe.
From the cliff edge, they could see a basin area ahead, shrouded in black storm clouds, stretching so far that the end was not visible.
"The basin is surrounded by continuous mountain ranges. Descending from here leads into the Thunder Basin. The closer you get to the central area, the more dangerous it becomes."
Rudo's eyes carried caution as he reminded them again, "The church set up an outer and inner defensive line in the Thunder Basin for safety. The outer layer's security is controllable, but the inner layer is extremely dangerous. No one is to step in even slightly. Understood?"
"Yes!"
"Let's go."
Beside the cliff were man-made steps, with several church priests guarding them.
The guards had been informed in advance of Rudo's arrival. After verifying their identities, they signaled for them to pass.
