"Is it Julius?" asked Ren directly, his voice barely audible.

The surprise that crossed Zhao's face was revealing. His eyes widened momentarily before he could control his expression. He quickly looked around, ensuring no one else had heard.

"Yes," he finally confirmed, placing a finger over his lips in a clear gesture for silence. "But you shouldn't know that, and we definitely shouldn't be discussing this here."

Without further explanation, Zhao took Ren lightly by the shoulder and guided him toward the professors' tent. The guards appeared surprised but didn't question the professor as both entered, the heavy canvas flap falling shut behind them.

The tent's interior wasn't new to Ren. Detailed maps covered a central table, illuminated by soft light crystals that cast a warm glow over the gathered faces. Lin and Wei were discussing in hushed tones when Zhao and Ren entered, their conversation halting abruptly.

"He felt the vibrations," Zhao explained without preamble. "And he's already learned that Julius is here."

Lin didn't seem particularly surprised. "Of course he felt them," she commented, studying Ren with an evaluative gaze. "The question is whether he has any idea what might be happening."

"I'm not sure," Ren responded, his eyes traveling over the maps spread across the table. "But I've seen strange behaviors from creatures at school. Especially near the seed..."

The three professors exchanged significant looks.

"Sit," Lin indicated, pointing to a chair near the table. "We need to talk about what you just witnessed."

Ren obeyed, his mushrooms pulsing softly while evaluating the situation. He hadn't expected his simple decision to warn about an anomalous worm would lead to this impromptu meeting with the professors.
