198 A Thing of Nightmares

Iolathane had no time for any nonsense. When she saw the people stop and talk, she did not call out to them—but she was sure that she wouldn't give them any certification.

They'd have to retake the workshop entirely again.

"I'll give them five minutes to catch up." Iolathane said to herself. That was enough time to realize that the group was gone and follow after them.

"When are we going to see those spiders?" one of them asked behind her.

"Nearly just got a crossbolt and you want to see a giant spider?"

In truth, Iolathane mostly walked the people through the safe areas of the Dark Forest. If people truly wanted to hunt down dangerous creatures, they needed to step through the forest itself, but sticking to the path was mostly safe.

Even though she wanted to make people not choose the path of being a hunter—as most of them were really not serious about the job, she didn't want to put their lives in danger as well.
