After leaving Tazik City, our group traveled along dirt roads surrounded by vast grasslands, finally arriving at the campsite after a nine-hour journey. The rhythm of horse hooves and the creaking of wooden wheels accompanied our trek. We were fortunate to reach the camping ground before dark. Thus, everyone immediately set up their tents upon arrival.
The academy members were divided into several groups of 8 to 10 people each. Two supervisors and several guards accompanied each group. Ryda, Hellen, and I were assigned to guard Princess Verni and Lenti's group.
With this arrangement, the students were expected to build their own camps. By the time the tents were finished, night had fallen. After setting up camp, the students then prepared dinner together.

Our group gathered around a campfire, enjoying warm soup.
"Wow! This is delicious!" exclaimed Princess Vernotta.
