280 Bonding Through The Ages (4)
(Jane’s PoV)
Since we had decided not to take any boys into our group, we didn’t have to wait for anyone and could plan on our strategies for tomorrow’s agenda peacefully. We divided everything according to our own strength and after we’ve done with the planning, we had a light dinner together.
It was supposed to be fun if a couple wasn’t caught trying to enter the woods for their ‘romance’.
It was still the first night, for God’s sake. Why couldn’t they hold themselves properly?
“We didn’t. We went separately, I swear.” The girl denied the accusation strongly. She seemed to be our senior. “I went to the bathroom and bumped into him on my way back. We really didn’t plan to go to the woods together.”
“What were you doing in the bathroom?” A committee member asked her calmly.
“What kind of stupid question was that? Do I have to report my every action in the bathroom?” The girl gave her a nasty stare, but I must admit this member of committee wasn’t someone to trifle with.CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m
Even when she was oppressed by a senior, she could still have her poker face and her eyes didn’t even waver for once.
“Then, did you use the water?” She asked again. I took a peek at her ID card and saw ‘Jingga’ was written on it.
But, he was subdued in no time without any casualties from the committee members.
“Since you denied everything, then we have no choice but to send you back. However, since it is already this late, we’re going to process this case tomorrow morning.” Jingga was still as calm as ever and it made me curious about her identity.
I wonder what year was she from.
They handled everything so fast and the boys came to tell Jingga and the others their interrogation result. It was decided that the both of them would be sent back tomorrow and the Dean would be the one who took them there along with two or three other lecturers and committee members.
However, even when they had decided it, some creatures decided on different things. The cold night wind brought uneasiness into the camp. It was getting late at night when the lecturers told us to go to sleep, however I noticed the change in the air. It wasn’t much, but I could still feel it since it was different with the energy emitted by shadows.
How could I not notice when I was more than familiar with this alluring scent of evil?
But, for real? Who would be affected with this thin scent of lust? Who was this creature trying to lure? Judging from how thin it was, it must be nothing to the devil I met in the hot spring. My brain was itchy after thinking about it. Should I act or not?
Our surrounding grew increasingly quiet, save from the sounds of crickets and some nocturnal animals. However, I couldn’t fall asleep now that my mind was disturbed with this aura. I looked towards the other three in the tent and found that they had been asleep for some times. There was no change which meant a good sign. They weren’t affected by the aura, that’s good.
After making sure the three of them were okay, I got up and took a peek outside the tent. It was totally quiet, as if everyone had already succumbed to their dream. Since the aura didn’t seem to be decreasing, I really didn’t have any choice other than to activate my third eye -that’s what people liked to call it- and to check on the campsite to make sure it was safe.
Those guardians of the land didn’t fancy humans who dirtied their lands with vulgar actions. If I could prevent those troublesome old guys to be provoked by some immoral and poor humans who couldn’t afford a hotel room to do their deeds, I thought I should work a bit.
Even if it was caused by their own kind.
