Hours passed and the students walked through the large forest. The vigor and enthusiasm they had at first was now replaced by exhaustion.
The forest seemed to stretch for eternity, and it felt as if no matter how much they walked, they would never reach the end.
Currently, in a clearing, one of the eight groups could be seen battling a pack of furious horned rabbits. These rabbits were protecting the herb the students were tasked to gather.
From their few encounters, the students had come to discover that the herbs were very important to the beasts here, and the creatures wouldn't just sit by and watch humans take them.
"Is it only me, or the deeper we go into this forest the more powerful the beasts are?" a bald student commented, barely dodging the sharp claws of a super-fast rabbit that would have split his stomach apart.
"It's not only you, baldy. Stop yapping and just focus on getting rid of the monsters," the leader of the group growled angrily.
