[Adam_Balch_7324: An abundance of yin energy seems to point to an abundance of spirits or souls as its commonly believed they're mostly yin energy]

…

The next day.

Lancelot and Oliver were sitting leisurely next to the pool. Since they had free time in the morning, they thought about enjoying the resort. And Lancelot never had a vacation or a place like this, so he asked Oliver to introduce him to something like this.

"How is it, Lancelot?" Oliver asked while raising his sunglasses.

"It's not that bad. The air is pretty cold, but with our essence, our bodies can withstand it. Besides, I can see a lot of people from here," Lancelot said while watching the people play around the pool.

There were a few people who had essence in their bodies, but most of the people here didn't seem to be fighters.

"Still…" Oliver couldn't help but look at the pool, specifically at two people in the pool. They were none other than Maya and Serena.

Unlike the others, they decided to play around the pool. A pool was a rare thing in her world, so she took this chance to enjoy it to the fullest. Meanwhile, Serena was just accompanying Maya without being able to swim in the water.

Maya and Serena were immersed in laughter and joy as they enjoyed the pool. Unlike her usual expression, Serena let herself be free. The big smile on her face coupled with the rising sun warmed the atmosphere. Maya, on the other hand, turned graceful and serene as though she were melting in this peaceful environment.

Oliver couldn't help but mutter, "It's rare to see something like this. Don't you agree that the girls in our class are rather top notch? Serena is a cold beauty, but when she smiles like that, it feels like an arrow hitting straight to your heart."

"What are you talking about? I don't care about it since I already have a fiancee back home." Lancelot shrugged.

"Ah, you're from a noble family." Oliver nodded in understanding. "But don't you think it's fine to enjoy it since you won't be able to do something like this once you marry?"

"If you can't stay loyal before marriage, then do you expect your spouse to believe you after the marriage? Trust is built, not given." Lancelot sighed.

"Tsk. You know what to say." Oliver stuck out his tongue.

"By the way, where is Avalon?" Lancelot asked.

Oliver was supposed to be in the same group as Avalon, so he should be with him instead of accompanying him here. However, Oliver made a gesture of drinking while pointing at the resort's restaurant. "He is enjoying his tea time. He said it could calm him down."

In fact, only the four of them were near the pool. The others were indoors.

Avalon was having his breakfast as well as searching for a good tea in the restaurant. Aurora could be said to be the VIP in this resort and knew about a lot of things due to her aunt. So, she was enjoying her massage because she knew the assignment would be tiring.

Haruka remained inside her room, meditating. The talismans she planted in her room kept glowing dimly as though they were reacting to something.

Jayden was using the gym to warm his body up.

When it was only thirty minutes away from the assignment, all of them immediately went to the restaurant to get something to eat. Of course, they didn't forget to bring their partner something so that they could eat and start doing their assignment.

Two groups got an advantage since they didn't have anyone taking the supplementary lessons.

Aurora, Lancelot, Jaydne, and Haruka actually stood in front of Theo's room, waiting for them to come out.

As soon as the door was opened, four of them immediately dropped their jaws to the ground as if they couldn't believe what happened to them.

Luca and Lucas were standing so far apart from each other as if they didn't trust each other.

Li Wei was wearing glasses and said, "Don't worry. I have been reborn. I will wear these glasses so that I look smart."

"…" Jayden couldn't believe Li Wei even uttered those words as he couldn't help but interject, "The fact that you think wearing glasses can make you smart shows how stupid you are."

"…" Li Wei's body froze as he glared at him, indirectly telling him not to rebuke him.

Mia was hugging her teddy bear the whole time. As soon as she was out, she just dropped to the floor and leaned on the wall. She looked at the teddy bear and said, "Don't forget about them, alright? Next time, you're going to remind me of all the lessons."

"What actually happened inside? Oi, Mia!" Haruka shook Mia's body to wake her up. Mia only looked at her, but her reaction was surprisingly similar to the others. They threw their faces away while saying, "Don't make us remember that."

"…" Aurora, Lancelot, Haruka, and Jayden who didn't take the supplementary lesson couldn't help but wonder what caused them to be like this. No, they imagined the horror of the supplementary lessons. 'What the hell happened inside?'

Theo came out next as he said, "Alright. The lessons are over. You are free to do your assignment. Don't forget that you only have five hours and make sure you go back before dark."

Mia sighed. "Maybe I should just sit out today's assignment."

"Wait, wait, wait. I have brought some bread. Eat this and let's explore the area. I need you." Haruka panicked and hurriedly handed her the plastic bags where she stored the food.

"Come on!" Jayden had already wrapped Li Wei's hand around his shoulder and started dragging him away. "Walk by yourself."

Lancelot did the same. Due to Lucas's small body, he had an easier time as they were leaving the building.

Aurora just carried Luca on her arm and rushed first without asking any questions. She would learn about it after Luca recovered anyway.

Mia let out a long sigh and formed a human-sized teddy bear. She made the teddy bear carry her on its back while saying, "I will be like this, so don't mind me."

"I know. Though, I'm curious what happened to you… But you can answer that later," said Haruka before turning to the other side. "It's your turn now. Explore the area and see if you notice anything special."

Once they left, Theo looked at the system panel and noticed that the comments had arrived.

"Yin energy? Spirits and souls? The one who is talking about Yin energy should be Li Wei, and what about spirits and souls? Is it Haruka?" Theo fell into deep thought.

If that was the case, the enemy this time must be related to the vein underneath the hotel. Its form should be similar to that of a spirit or a soul.

"No, wait. I think there is a more suitable word for this one… A ghost?" Theo's expression turned serious. "I don't know what kind of ghost we're talking about, but this is not looking good. I have to make some countermeasures. I don't know if the ghost will appear during the day or not. And if it only appears during the night, it's going to be extremely powerful."

While Theo was preparing the countermeasures, two groups had begun their exploration.

Maya and Serena walked south to the resort.

"How should we do this?" Maya asked.

"Let me see... Since we have to find plants, I think I can do this." Serena took out a potion and opened the lid. The bottle had a green-colored liquid that produced a translucent gas. This gas started spreading in the area.

"We can't destroy nature, you know." Maya frowned.

"Don't worry. This potion is called Plant Reactor. By mixing numerous plants, it can cause the plants around us to react. If we're talking about special plants, it should give a bigger reaction than the rest." Serena explained.

As she predicted, the trees next to them vibrated for two seconds before it calmed down, the grasses around were dancing with the help of the wind, and the flowers bloomed.

"Is there a weird reaction?" Maya asked, not knowing the extent of this potion.

"No. I'm expecting the special plant to become bigger or even attack us. So, you should feel the danger. I'm going to use this and take advantage of your instinct."

"I see." Maya finally agreed after understanding how it worked. It might be their best bet to find the special plants. They also got the picture of the plants, even though it was only the shape as the rest was completely black.

On the other side, Avalon and Oliver had reached their spot as well.

"I'm going to use my inventory to try pulling the things around me. Of course, I won't be putting them in my inventory. I just want to check the fluctuation of energy since it costs me more to store an item that contains an essence in it," Oliver explained his plan, only to find Avalon squatting. "What are you doing, Avalon?"

Avalon's focus seemed to wander for a bit as he found a stick on the ground. The stick was surprisingly thick enough for his whole hand to hold it. The length was about one meter, which was similar to Avalon's sword.

In that instant, Oliver said, "It appears the one who possesses the ability to draw the legendary sword has finally appeared. O' Hero, please embark on the journey to save the world."

"…" Avalon remained silent but he didn't expect that Oliver would say something like that. In the past, he didn't even have a real sword even though he admired his father who was a knight. He even fantasized about himself as a knight, holding that beautiful sword to take down the evils.

But because he was too small, he couldn't even get the wooden sword and often looked around for a stick to imitate his father's movement.

On the other hand, Oliver obviously had the same childhood dream as most boys in the Modern Realm. Having a sword and becoming a hero, so he ended up playing along.

While holding his laughter, Oliver leaned on a tree and crossed his arms as if he were trying to act like a cool boss. "It seems that you have finally become strong enough to challenge me. Come, Hero. Show me your power!"

"What are you? You are already old enough and can even get a real sword." Avalon shook his head helplessly.

"Come on. We all know that boys will be boys. The older we are, the more we want to act like children. It's the most fun time."

Avalon shook his head helplessly while throwing the stick into the air. "This is stupid."

"Ah!" Oliver hurriedly jumped to save the stick before storing it in his inventory.

"You're keeping it?" Avalon was speechless. On the one hand, he could understand Oliver's heart. On the other hand, he didn't think Oliver would keep that stick in his inventory.

"What's wrong with me doing that? I'm just keeping the perfect stick… A perfect stick like this is worth more than a wooden sword or even a real sword. It's what keeps the dream alive." Oliver stuck out his tongue. "It's not like it's going to fill my inventory."

"I can't believe you. Whatever." Avalon turned around, just wanting to continue with the exploration.

However, they abruptly stopped when they felt a fluctuation of energy coming from behind them. They hurriedly turned around, thinking it was a special plant.

But about fifty meters from them, they could see a pure white dress disappearing into the tree as if there was a girl walking away.

"Hmm? The special plant?" Oliver asked.

"I'm not sure. I think I saw a white dress earlier."

"I did see it. It might be a visitor."

"But the essence fluctuates earlier." Avalon looked at Oliver with a serious face. "Let's check it out."

"Sure."
