It didn't even take them two days for Professor Dan to take the students to the South with the students from Class 2, Anastasia and Ignis's Survival Class, because the Grimroot Glen is under investigation.
The Professors didn't have a choice but to change the location of the next activity so they thought of separating the Class and assigning them to a location between North, East, South, and West of Ashia Kingdom.
They were the group who was assigned in the South where they stood in an almost deserted place if it weren't for the trees or bushes seen.
"Denovan!" Anastasia waved at the man walking towards them "What are you doing here?" Ivan asked "Trainee knights were told to be the guards in today's activity. I participated so that I could be on watch" he said with a smile.
"So you'll be joining us?" Anastasia asked making him nod "May I have your attention please?" they all looked in front when Dan's voice caught their attention.
"I would like to sincerely apologize about the Hunting Grounds incident and I and the other Professors had to change plans, thus why we're here. Just like before, you will be teleported to different places in the South and you need to survive for 28 hours. Don't worry we are all connected here by my magic and I'll always know where you are or if you are hurt."
The students were uneasy at first but hearing Dan's reassuring words, they immediately calmed down: "Now, let's start"
Before they could have a chance to get ready, their visions were blinded and by the time it disappeared they were already in a different place. "That... That... That fucking Professor! I swear I'll kill him! He doesn't even wait for us to get emotionally and physically ready!" Callista voiced out her complaint as she felt sick from the sudden teleportation.
"But... Denovan, why are you here?" Ivan turned to Denovan who blinked at him with utter confusion. Everyone turned to him with the same confusion "I— Ah—I— I have no idea" he said as if he couldn't find the right words.
"That Professor! Is he this incapable?!" she huffed "At least the five of us are here together again" Ivan joyfully said "By the way, where are we? Judging by how the place didn't change it seems we're still in this deserted place" Ivan added as they looked around. The only thing different was that there were no more trees or bushes, not even animals.
"I think this is the Valley of the Unknown" Denovan commented "You mean that forbidden place? Why would the Professor teleport us here?" Anastasia asked with eyebrows furrowed "It's possible that there was a slight error" Ignis said.
"But why is it called the Valley of the unknown?" Callista asked curiously "Because no one knows what's in the place thus the name." Ivan said with a shrug.

"No one was ever able to leave this place or even go back. That's why people avoid coming here." Denovan added.
"Haven't the Professors learned to be more careful with their students due to what had happened last class? Shit, they are really pushing our limits here by teleporting us in this isolated place" Callista complained as she looked down at the cliff, there was a big gap that was impossible for them to cross the other side.
"This must be the valley?" she asked and pointed at the valley full of fog that you aren't even able to see the end to it. "But how can we survive for 28 hours if we don't even have the right resources for food?" Anastasia said with a sigh.
As they discussed their survival, Callista started sensing something and looked around. She looked back down to look for it but the fog was not letting her see anything, she's sure that what she's sensing has got to do with what's beyond the fog.
'A wizard..?' She thought.
Many people can control mana or magic in this Kingdom. It's already normal to the point that commoners can do it but with less mana than those of a noble, some can't, but some were gifted since birth with large mana. These are traditional magic users shown in the following:
Witches and Warlocks specializes in hexes and potion-making. They are one of the well-known elemental users or those who can cast elemental curses. Although, their only disadvantage is that they are not able to use magic without a witch rune, it stands as a Witch's magic core as witch runes are given and made when they are born with their mana. They are considered one of the rarest magic class in the continent.
Arcane Mage, this is the most common magic user you can see. They can cast spells using arcane magic or the ones you see as magic geometry. If they don't know any arcane geometry, then a mage can't cast magic with even a simple healing spell. Their magic cores are the reason why they are alive because like a Witch's rune, magic cores are developed when you are born and holds the power you possess.
Spirits, there are different types of spirits and they live in a whole different world because of their extreme powers of healing that they can even revive the dead. They are also elemental based, which means they can only use one elemental magic, that's why spirits are separated into groups such as the Earth Spirits, Water Spirits, etc. they cannot use magic if their specific element is not in their surroundings.
Alchemists are people who can use magic by their given minerals such as iron, gold, or diamond, they can channel their magic through these minerals. They are famous for their craftsmanship by using their magical abilities. They are also the ones who makes ancient relics, that are passed down through generations. Although their class has decreased in the following years, they were known as one of the powerful classes of magic users.
Armament Mages or also known as Wizards are not like the other magic users. They use magic by channeling their cores on a tool that can be use for defense or offense. This can also be their magic core. You can see wizards channeling their magic through a rifle, a sword, a carriage, or even a bow and arrow. Wizards get strict training because of how difficult their power is to channel, as it can send destruction if they can't control it properly.
These were the only magic classes before, but as the time went, new classes had been created and classified. These are known as sub classes, such as the Cyfrin Knights. Priests, etc.
Encountering a wizard right now will not be a good thing for them.
"Who dares trespass my territory?"
Callista was sent back to reality when they heard that raspy voice as they all turned to look to see a man in his thirties. He has long dark hair with no facial hair whatsoever but he was an attractive man. A bizarre thing to see in a deserted place.
