Assassin's new normal life

Trial of the forest: part 3

3rd person POV:

With several spirits chasing after them, the class ran through the forest as fast as they could.

Paya: I thought spirits were usually peaceful, why are they chasing us?

Yn: They think we're invaders that kidnapped their king, I think...

Kora: Where did you get that from?

Yn: They said it!

Gerald: You understood them?

Yn:?

Hana: Now's not the time for a conversation!

Turning around, Hana spun her glaive in the air before hitting a spirit that had pounced towards her. Knocking it away, she took the lead.

Hana: I believe I've memorized our path back to the village. Follow me!

Gerald: I'd prefer something more concrete than "I believe" but fine, lead the way. The rest of us will cover you.

Doing their best to travel through the forest, Yn and Gerald used their range abilities to keep the spirits at a distance, Kora and Paya fought mid-range, while Vina protected Hana from anything that got in close-range.

It worked at first, but with how slowly they were moving through the forest, more spirits were coming than the students could knock away.

Vina: Can someone talk (hic) to them?

Kora: Yn, your up!

Yn: R-right...!

Yn: We come in peace!

Spirits: Lies!

Paya: What did they say?

Yn: They don't believe me.

Hana:!?

Vina:!?

Kora/Paya:!?

Gerald/Yn:!?

After Hana stopped on a cliff where she saw the village, one by one her fellow students ran into her back, leading to all of them to fall and roll down the cliff into the Yurei village where the spirits did not follow.

Everyone:(groans in pain)

(Opening theme)

The class of the chicken was left in the room they were given to stay in and told not to leave until they figure out why the spirits attacked them.

One by one, the students were questioned by Era herself.

They all shared similar stories. All except for Yn, who told her about the panda girl but left out the part of him spying on her conversation on the satellite phone.

He didn't mean to leave it out, it just happened. By the time he realized that he didn't say that, Yn was already up to the dorm room provided to his class.

Not feeling like Era should know that, he moved on.

Arriving inside the bedroom space, the eyes of his classmates were all on him.

Yn: Hey...

Kora: Spill the beans. What's going on?

Yn:?
