Just like Dynn said, Kyle and Regius traveled on foot and entered the forest.
Regius silently walked a few steps ahead of Kyle because he was familiar with the path. Moreover, he felt like he should protect the weaker party. He even slowed down his pace so Kyle wouldn't feel tired on the way but to his surprise, Kyle was able to match his pace easily without breaking a sweat!
He was a little troubled regarding Kyle's strength but he ignored it when he saw the latter serious expression.
After a few hours, they left the forest and arrived at the border area at the end of the village. A merchant cargo was waiting for them on a narrow road opposite the forest.
Kyle gazed back at the forest with a smile.
'I will visit Claire if I ever pass through this village again.'
Meanwhile, Regius talked with the owner of the cargo for a while. The cargo was filled with low-grade herbs used to make healing potions.
Kyle waited at the side, he frowned when he saw a bald man coming out from the cargo. The man had a large scar on his neck and he looked at Kyle from head to toe with a smirk.
The bald man approached him with a smug smile and rubbed his hand.
"Hello, pretty boy....."
His sentence was cut short because Regius held his shoulder from behind with a dark expression.
"Don't you dare! Or else I will break your head!"
Regius released his (D-)-Rank aura and the bald man shivered.
"Haha, I just wanted to get familiar with him. Don't misunderstand."
Kyle looked at the bald man with a cold expression. He opened his clenched fingers and clicked his tongue.
The cargo owner who was standing beside the cargo was scared shitless because unlike Regius and the bald man he could see the horror flying behind their backs.
A large ice arrow was aimed at the bald man with its tip pointing directly at his shoulder.
He shivered slightly and wiped the sweat from his forehead because the moment Regius grabbed the bald man the arrow disappeared into thin air.
'The silver-haired kid is truly scary.'
After giving one more glare to the bald man, Kyle, and Regius sat down with the goods.
The bald man sat down beside the cargo owner with an annoyed expression and the cargo started moving with the help of a few horses, heading straight toward the nearest city with a Teleportation Array.
Kyle hummed when he gazed at the greenery around the narrow road.
'My control on mana increased a lot. Now I can easily form the attacks at least a whole meter away from myself.'
His thoughts wandered around. Maybe it was because of his bloodline? Moreover, he was easily able to blend the attack with the surroundings that's why no one except the sweating cargo owner noticed his ice arrow.
'Bia what are you doing? What about the others are they still training with those old men?'
A few seconds later an amused voice resounded in his head.
-'Why not see it yourself?'
'Huh?'
A confused frown appeared on Kyle's face but in the next second, he gasped. Regius who was sitting beside him was startled due to his sudden movement and asked him if he was alright.
Kyle blinked and pinched his nose.
"I am fine."
Regius nodded and patted his shoulder.
"Alright. I am sleeping, wake me up if something happens."
After Regius closed his eyes, Kyle's expression turned serious.
'Bia, what was that? The feeling was so strange, my mind suddenly buzzed.'
-'It's a skill I unlocked recently. Called 'Shared vision'. I can share my vision with you for a minute but you need to focus.'
'Okay, I will try.'
Kyle took a deep breath and closed his eyes with expectations, this time he focused on the feeling. It was very strange, like a tiny window was opened in his consciousness but instead of feeling pain, he felt slightly tense.
After trying for a few minutes, Kyle grasped the connection between him and Bia. With a sudden tingling sensation inside his head, an image appeared in his mind.
Kyle was shocked, he knew his eyes were closed but it was like he had another pair of eyes because he could see what was happening in front of Bia.
'Wow... This skill is amazing.'
-'I know right but I can only share my vision with you for a minute or two because I can't maintain the connection for a long period.'
The first thing that Kyle saw was a crawling brown-haired boy. The boy was mouthing some words with an ugly expression and Kyle was sure he was cursing his lungs out.
'Hahaha, why is Nine crawling in front of you?'
Bia didn't reply instead Kyle's vision changed because, in the next second, she started flying, roaming above all the other students.
Kyle eyed the place around Bia and saw a lush forest, a lot of young individuals were running in the forest with ragged breathing. Some of them were crawling like Nine.
When Bia traveled a little further he saw a few familiar faces, Alec, Carcel, Mia, and Lara.
The person running above everyone else was none other than Alec.
'Why are they running in a forest?'
Bia hummed and flew opposite the running kids. At a distance, a white-haired man was floating with an evil smile. He was holding some wriggling insects in his palm as he spoke something with a snicker.
Kyle wasn't able to hear what the man said but he shivered when he saw how the old man chased behind the running kids and scared them with those creepy insects.
'This is training? Or torture?'
He questioned Bia with a skeptical voice. After a few seconds, Kyle sighed when he saw how the old man caught up to Nine crawling figure and tossed some of those creepy insects on him. Nine expression was ugly as he danced around while trying his best to remove the insects from his body.
'My condolences.'
Kyle inwardly lit a candle for Nine and the running kids. He took a mental note to stay at least one thousand kilometers away from this type of training.
