"You think you've had bad luck with work assignments since that kid arrived, yet I don't even know if what I do is still work," commented Wei from where he was reviewing notes for the upcoming theoretical exam. His voice sounded distant, clearly more concerned with his own problems, his fingers nervously tapping against the paper.

"It's not about good or bad luck... Though luck is what Lin had," responded Zhao, shooting her an accusatory look without real malice. "Three molting chambers. It must have been like finding three treasure chests on the same day."

"Four, actually," Lin corrected. "But they left the fourth already half-looted, probably going straight to the next cave from how insistent I saw Ren being, making them carry more on the last trip."

"Interesting," a voice intervened from the farthest corner of the tent, where a tall figure remained partially in the shadows. "And you say Ren located them all without any prior map?"

Julius, who had remained hidden underground even from the students, advanced slightly. His presence on the expedition was a well-guarded secret from potential spies, part of the "exaggerated" security measures implemented after recent incidents.

"With that boy, the word 'impossible' seems to lose meaning," Zhao completed, leaning back in his chair.
