Chapter 296 Growth
Looking back or forward, a beautiful forest welcomes you. Similarly, if you look up, a sensational clear blue sky along with the warm sunlight makes your muscles automatically relax, completely unconcerned with the world around you. These are the first sensations one might have when arriving at the magical forest for the first time, not to mention the dense amount of mana you can breathe in the air that cleanses your lungs and any impurities. Everyone was as enchanted as I was, enjoying the simple nothingness. It's curious, seeing some silly expressions on their faces.
No wonder, the forest in front of us is literally from another world. Looking up, there are mana particles clearly visible to the human eye. The trees, on the other hand, were bright and full of life, their leaves a bit crystalline. Some vines also had the same glow.@@@@
Since we were instructed not to move, we had no choice but to stay quietly in this place.
Minutes passed, and more and more students arrived. After an hour, everyone was here.
We were divided into groups of three, with each class being formed this way. However, Persephone, Estefany, who was already awake but somewhat drowsy—the contract with a high-ranking animal had taken a toll on her—and Matías were in our group. Even though Estefany and Persephone are from the Pegasus class, Professor Athena does basically whatever she wants.
Similarly, two other animal tamers joined the other two classes. So, for the first class, we stayed with Miss Catalina, who was still somewhat upset with Estefany.
"Follow me. Normally, the first zone of this forest is not complicated at all. After all, you only find small animals that are not aggressive at all. But of course, there is also the risk of getting lost. This forest is quite confusing; the moment you walk without paying attention to where you're going, you'll find yourself alone." Catalina's calm words grabbed the students' attention, but still, most of them were looking at the forest itself, the variety of tones along with the glow of the ambient mana.

"Strange movements, a large anomaly of activity in zones 5 and below, disappearance of creatures in all of them. Occasionally, they can be found in one spot, extremely still. Even if you kill them, those things won't make any movement. On the other hand, there's too much movement from the cults; they move too quickly. It's very difficult to catch or kill them."
Charlotte brought her fingers to her lips and thought for a few moments: "I was thinking of some animal that's rare, you know, in appearance, besides being useful for my magic. But still, I don't have a clear image of what I want. What about you, what are you looking for?"
Good question. I had some ideas in my mind, but I wasn't clear either. After all, the animals in this forest are unique in their own way, whether it's their appearance, magic, or abilities. You have to see them for yourself first to decide.
"I'm not clear yet," that was the only answer I gave Charlotte.
Looking at Estefany, she was very excited. She still couldn't believe that she had so easily made a contract with an animal of this rank.

"How do you feel?" I asked her.
She smiled: "It's a bit heavy, a kind of pressure on my soul, but it's something I can handle. I talked with the professor, and she said I just need to reach Maximum-Gold rank for the pressure to greatly diminish. She also mentioned that thanks to the tiger's help, my soul can handle it. Otherwise, I would be fainting all the time."
A violent reaction to a lesser extent, that's what it means. After all, the tiger's soul is much more vast than Estefany's own.

Persephone was jealous of her friend, and I was too. Charlotte also was. Only Emily had a blank expression while eating some small fruits. Estefany's luck is on another level.
