Assassin's new normal life

Trial of the forest: part 2

3rd person POV:

Sitting alone in her apartment was Ran.

On her couch, she woke up at noon to find several empty bottles that she emptied the night before.

Ran:(looks around)

Ran:(sigh)

Getting up, she decided to tidy up her home, since she realized she had nothing better to do.

By the time she is done, the sun had set and she was hungry and yet again with nothing to do.

Checking her fridge, she found it to be empty.

Ran: Tch... Crap...

Ran:(mind) Don't have the mood to the money to go to the store... And I get paid tomorrow...

Ran: Hmm...Yn mentioned something about cooking, maybe he has something I can borrow.

Ran: He does owe me...

Leaving her apartment, she walked across the corridor to Yn's apartment. Opening it with her spare key, she entered his messy apartment and went up to the fridge where she was able to find some leftovers of Yn's.

Ran: Hmm... Not bad...

She told herself as she part took in Yn's cooking while looking around in his apartment.

Ran:... Tch, little shit... Guess I have to clean this up or it never will get done.

Finishing off the leftovers, she was invigorated enough to clean Yn's apartment.

(Opening theme)

(Forest of spirits)

Era guided the class of the chicken through the forest of spirits in the early morning.

Kora: Tch... This forest is so dense, how do you know where we're going?

Era: A benefit of completing the trial.

Yn: It is? Are there any other benefits?

Era: Of course. I'll explain it all once we arrive.

Yn: You could also explain it now...

Hana: Be patient. She'll tell us when she wants.

Hiking past a few more trees, Era and the class exit the forest, into a small opening where a pond with two rocks poking out of the surface of the water.

Yn:?

Yn recognized this place as the area where the spirits had their meeting which he crashed. The only difference was that the large hedge wall surrounding the place was gone.

Yn:(mind) Maybe there are several of these places around the forest...?

Era: Now that we're here, I can explain what the trial is and how it works. But to fully understand it, you six must first learn what spirits are and what the forest is.

Era: Does everyone know what a spirit is?

Yn: Let's just...you know... Start from the top so we're all equally on the same page.

Yn: I'm sure not everyone knows everything about the spirits.

Gerald: I do.

Yn: Shut up.
