If we stay in the forest, they’ll narrow the search eventually. We have to take the initiative. First——”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We need to scout the area.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a temporary plan in place, Hulim prepared to move out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She addressed the students:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ll come with us. Gather any other fleeing students along the way. This is a war—we need all hands on deck.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Head Student!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll follow your lead......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students responded in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Let’s move out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim stepped toward the forest’s edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Um, Head Student......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hesitant voice called from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim turned:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is it? Do you have questions?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not exactly a question......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students stared at something behind Hulim, their eyes a mix of confusion and hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh...... why is there a bear following you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bear in question tilted its head, looking at them in bewilderment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Peep?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah——!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the outer forest,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a Gulos agent screamed, clutching his injured arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can try sending another signal if you’d like.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opposite him, a girl holding a silver wand stared coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wonder how many hands you have left for such tricks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words sent a chill down the agent’s spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll talk! I’ll tell you everything! Please don’t kill me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spilled every detail Hulim wanted to know......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......So there really is an A-rank. And one of the strongest at that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alicia frowned deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Without the Headmaster, we stand no chance......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Headmaster might not arrive in time. We have to find a way ourselves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim replied,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then raised a finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh——!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The agent stared at Hulim in disbelief,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then fell silent forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he died, a signal device slipped from his remaining hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Typical Gulos arrogance—thinking they’d get the chance to call for backup......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the interruption dealt with,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim, Miko, and Alicia began to plan their next move in earnest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......First, the enemy is far too powerful for a direct confrontation. If we attack head-on, they’ll likely use the hostages to threaten us—and that would be a disaster.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So here’s the plan: I’ll draw their attention, luring away their strongest fighters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even then, the students alone won’t be enough to overcome the remaining forces. But if we free the imprisoned teachers—most of whom are High-Rank Adepts—the odds will shift in our favor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim turned to Miko and Alicia:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once I’ve led the elites away, find an opportunity to rescue Professor Grisa and the other teachers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miko and Alicia nodded firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Miko hesitated, worried:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hulim—are you sure you’ll be safe luring away their top fighters......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry——”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim replied calmly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll be fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Manacos camp,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>now fallen and occupied by Gulos,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>bustled with activity. Agents carried captured students into the camp, locking them away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one noticed the figures sneaking closer,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>hidden by the fog’s poor visibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who would have thought the fog they used to trap us would now help us sneak in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alicia muttered in amazement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We should destroy it if we can. This fog, and the altered magic circles, are probably blocking all messages from reaching the outside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After observing the camp for a while, Hulim had a clear picture of the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m going in first. Stick to the plan once I’m gone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Hulim flew toward the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Be careful, Hulim......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",909,"2026-06-10T06:36:37.917Z",1,"novelbin.me","9ff3d084a45eaeab9ee0811cda86080401afb8e40360ecb92f15190fb95a304d","the-adventures-of-hulim-chapter-370","the-adventures-of-hulim-chapter-369",528,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-adventures-of-hulim-cover.jpg"]
