The next day, at the cafeteria, Kalp introduces Jack to Alice again and then they have a meeting with all five members for the demon beast hunting exercise.
'In demon forest, we will have three problems.' Kalp says.
'What problems will we have, you have already defeated 2nd stage lion alone and now we are five people, so we will be more powerful.' Kevin said.
'No Kevin. Don't be over confident.' Kalp said.
'Okay, fine.' Kevin said.
'The first problem would be that while fighting a demon beast, another beast could attack us or any other student group could attack us and make us prey.' Kalp said.
'Yes, it is most likely to happen.' Jack said.
'Yeah, so before we start fighting, we have to check our surroundings well and when we fight, one member has to see our surroundings. So that when they see any problem, they will alert others. Okay.' Kalp said.
'Okay.' Everyone said.
'Second problem is to secure our Mana core. After getting the Mana core, anyone can attack us and try to steal our Mana core. If we looked tired or had blood on our clothes, they would target us based on how we looked after our fight. So, do carry some extra clothes with you.' Kalp said.
'He has already figure out the main problems and already come up with solution.' Katrine said.
'When it comes to strategies, Kalp is the best.' Kevin said.
'Guys, listen.' Kalp said.
'Third problem is how to survive at night. In the night, we can't see properly and many demon beasts can see properly at night. So, I think we have to make our base on higher ground or trees and at night, we will do surveillance duty in pairs.' Kalp said.
'Okay.' - everyone said together.
'We have only ten days left. So, make your own preparation and don't let yourself get hurt.' Kalp said and after that everyone leaves from there.
After ten days, the day of the hunt comes. After Academy classes are over, everyone is standing in the training ground and then five big birds come there. They are Condor, Cassowaries, Magnificence, Hornbill and Falcon. These birds were handled by the professors. Kalp's group gets Hornbill and professor Bartol. Professor Ava comes.
'Everyone, you have twenty-four hours to hunt at least two 2nd grade demon beasts. Your given professor will drop you in the demon forest and tomorrow evening, they will come to pick you up. Remember, this is not a competition, so don't fight each other. Take these tokens, if you want to forfeit or your life is in danger, you can break this token and then a security cordon will be formed around you. So when you do this, you will all be together until your professor comes to help you.' Saying this, Ava gives one token to each group.
Then everyone leaves from there sitting on the birds. Kalp and his team are sitting on a bird. Bird flies from the Island and goes down through the clouds and heads towards the north demon forest. All the birds move around in different areas of the forest and come down slowly.
'Kalp, who should have this token?' Mo asked.
'What do you mean by that, it's obvious, only Kalp should have this token because he is our team leader.' Kevin said.
'Yeah and this token should have that person whom we can trust the most.' Alice said.
'Alice…., Mo, don't worry, this token will be given to that person who will be on surveillance duty.' Kalp said.
'I didn't mean it I just want to ask because my life depends on that person who has that token.' Mo said.
'Sacredly-cat.' Kevin said.
'Kevin…' Kalp said.
'Don't mind him, he is always like this.' Kalp said.
'It's okay.' Mo said.
After a while, the bird lands in the forest.
'Okay students, all the best. I will meet you tomorrow.' Saying this Bartol leaves.
'Okay everyone, let's move in that direction.' Kalp said.
'Why?' Katrine asked.
'Remember, we need a safe place to stay and observe. I saw a perfect place, when we were on bird.' Kalp said.
Then they go to that place.
'Doesn't it look like this direction is going into a deep forest?' Katrine said.
'You mean we are going into the danger zone.' Kevin said.
'Yes, but don't worry, we will not enter the danger zone. We will be near the danger zone on that tree.' Kalp said.
'This tree is too big, we can easily see our surroundings from up there.' Kevin said.
'This tree is our base.' Kalp said.
'Okay everyone, split up and first inspect around the tree and then we will check on the tree if there is any animal or a demon beast.' Kalp said.
There are huge buttress roots and it's height around fifty feet. And the tree is divided into four trees above twenty feet from the ground.
'What kind of tree is this? I never saw this kind of tree.' Kevin said.
'These kinds of trees are found in the deep forests. These kinds of trees are home of big animals and demon beast.' Kalp said.
'Alice, check on the tree and be on guard.' Kalp said loudly.
Alice climbs on the tree.
'Kalp, come over here. You have to see this.' Alice says loudly.
