Chapter 98
Eventually, time passed until there were only two weeks left before the entrance test .
Noah swiftly exited the hostel and went for the path that led to Ebonrest city .
Toottac town was still crowded but the atmosphere was tense and many groups of armored people stared warily at their surroundings .
'So many . '
Noah had never exited the hostel in this period and could not help but be surprised at the number of people inside the market area .
Echo continuously sent sound waves giving him a clearer picture of his surroundings and he always chose to cross the less crowded streets to reach the forest .
His exit from the city was uneventful and the scenery of the forest illuminated by the daylight showed itself to Noah .
He had decided to move during the morning as there were fewer chances to meet the bandits or more of spotting them and escape .
He was wearing his usual black clothes and a hood covered his face .
On his back, a big hump was present: Echo's head had come out of his body to be more precise in its inspection of the environment .
Noah entered the forest and ran at full speed in the direction of the city .
He used the branches of the trees as footholds like he was used to when he had to move stealthily .
Ebonrest city was at three days of travel .
That meant that if he traveled without sleeping, he would reach his destination in one day and a half!
That was precisely what he planned to do, the more he stayed in the forest the more problems might arise .
It was only half a day later that a scream entered his ears .
Noah didn't stop but he could sense that a battle was occurring in an area a few hundred meters in front of him .
A faint sense of danger was radiated from that place .
Noah's eyes became resolute as he hastened his pace .
When he neared the battleground, a violent scene unfolded in front of his eyes .
A caravan composed of four carriages was being sieged by more than thirty hooded men dressed in long black outfits .
The guards of the caravan were strenuously resisting the assault but to no avail as the bandits were more numerous and were gaining ground .
Noah sensed that their level was way above his own and chose to take advantage of the situation to pass through them .
A known danger is less scary than an unknown one .
Noah could have avoided the place but that would have meant facing the unknown .
What if there were more bandit gangs?
What if that new gang wasn't busy dealing with another enemy?
'My best bet is to pass right through them!'
He rushed across the trees running right above the battlefield .
Some of the bandits noticed his presence and decided to go after him since the outcome of the combat on the caravan seemed set .
