Jiang Fei did not bother to participate in the lookout shift and decided to nap away. The night was peaceful as there were nothing but the sounds of tiny critters and insects. When the golden hue of the morning ray hit the forest’s top canopy, Jiang Fei woke up. Bacca’s plans did not work for the first night as no one came over during the night.

While he napped away, Jiang Fei placed 0541 on high alert while he passively diverted the energy from the Blackhole Core into charging the Core of Will. One night of charging was not enough to fully charge the Core. Nevertheless, it had enough juice to reactivate Jiang Fei’s Omnisurge.

“Someone’s here,” one of Dodge’s split bodies whispered before it disappeared into nothingness.

“On your feet. We have a weapon to snatch!” Bacca decreed and everyone quickly readied themselves for a fight.

“0541, what of the incoming?” Jiang Fei asked. The yellow hue of the morning light was still dim and he could not see too far in the dark. Based on presence alone, Jiang Fei could sense six of them.

“Standby… Give me a few moments,” 0541 said.

“Don’t take too long,” said Jiang Fei as he sat up straight and stopped diverting the Blackhole Core energy into the Core of Will. It was now time to channel the energy into his own body to prepare for a fight.

“Results are in.”

“Elaborate.”

“There are six of them. There is one at around 200,000 combat level, two at around 300,000 combat level, one at 720,000 combat level, one at 450,000 combat level, and one at 590,000 combat level.”

“Thank you. Looks like they might be facing a bit of a challenge here,” said Jiang Fei. Bacca’s plan of fighting the other trainees to snatch their Primordial Weapons might not work this time.

While Jiang Fei had precise information about the potential enemy, Dodge’s main body returned and gave his own rough analysis to Bacca. Naturally, his report could never be as precise as 0541’s.

“Six of them?” Bacca frowned. He had never assumed Jiang Fei was part of the team and only thought of him as a spectator.

“What are your orders?” Luna asked.

“We hold. Do not strike yet. Let’s see how it turns out,” said Bacca rationally. He would not want to strike the trap without first knowing that there was loot inside it. The others quickly resumed their preparations and sat by the now weak campfire. Everyone was ready for a fight and some, especially Mingsk and Waxus, could not hold their anxiety in.

In a few minutes, the footsteps of the six targets could be heard. They were walking brazenly, showing no signs of even hiding their presence. While the others were already on their feet, waiting for the order to strike, Bacca was on top of a larger tree, scoping out the enemies on a branch.

“Huh?” Bacca grunted when he saw the face of the leading trainee of the group. He leaped down and proceeded to greet them with a friendly face.

“You do know that I saw you from a mile away,” said the Valsalrian that was leading the group of six.

“Are you sure about that?” Bacca growled before extending his arm out for a handshake.

“I’m glad to see you’re well”.

“Likewise,” the Valsalrian replied, shaking Bacca’s scally hands.

Bacca took the chance to examine the other five members before asking the same question he asked Jiang Fei.
