Rustle!

The bush next to the highway moved. At first, the bush that looked taller than a human moved as it was being swayed by a breeze, but its movements grew bigger and bigger.

Swish!

A person came out of the bush. Grass stems in his hair made him appear very stupid. However, the person didn’t look concerned about his appearance at all and made a happy face as soon as he saw the highway. It seemed as if he had suffered a lot in the forest. 

A bunch of people began to come out in rows behind him; there were four people in total. It was Zich and his companions. Besides Zich, everyone was extremely happy to see a trace of civilization. No matter how much training they went through, they could never get used to Zich’s hellish training through the mountains. Yet once they arrived at their destination, they were sure that they could soon enjoy the benefits of living in a civilized place. 

Following his companions, Zich also slowly walked to the highway. 

‘It seems like we have arrived properly.’

From far away, tall walls came into view. If his sense of direction was accurate, the city he was looking at was probably their destination.

Hans seemed to have spotted a distant city....
