Forward Operations

At half past three in the afternoon, the group started to load up into the helicopter to head into the woods. It was the only good way in, and there was already one team waiting in there for them. 

Karl smiled as he saw the terrified faces of the group that was waiting for them. They were all students, both from his own Academy and the Seminary Academy, and they all looked like they were new to the Awakened Rank.

Alice leaned over to whisper in Karl's ear. "The military group has been telling them horror stories, so when they found out that they were being tasked to set up a forward observation base in the woods, where they would treat the wounded and keep the supply lines, they feared the worst. Ogre invasions, constant battles where they would have to fight ten on one against a single monster to stand a chance, you get the idea.

But we will be based out of the camp that they're supplying, which is why we didn't need to pack as heavily this time.
