Chapter 215 Very easy
"I'll die in this boat, I'll definitely die in this damn boat!" cursed Persephone in despair as she knelt, praying to the gods to get her out of that infernal river. Anthony observed the shore, which was now closer. According to his calculations, they would only have to sail for about two more days to reach solid ground.

They had been on that river for a whole week, and he had taken it as a little vacation, but Persephone seemed to be on the verge of madness.
He looked at Persephone with a smile, noticing how her eyes were on the verge of tears. He was about to say something to calm her down, but before he could speak, she interrupted him with a shout. "Don't you dare speak, Anthony!" she exclaimed, pointing her finger at him. Anthony closed his mouth, nodding silently.
Persephone lay back in the boat, embracing her knees with her arms, sinking into silence.

Angela's POV
Angela's golden eyes narrowed slightly as she contemplated the imposing concrete wall in front of her. She raised her head and a beautiful bird perched on her shoulder, its graceful movements and melodious song filling the air. Angela listened to it in silence, allowing the bird's music to guide her.
The bird began to flap its wings to the right, indicating to Angela to follow that direction. She nodded in understanding and, with the bird as her guide, advanced through the intricate maze. The towering walls, rising up to twenty meters high, seemed to challenge her, but Angela trusted in the bird's direction.
Guided by the serpent, Angela ascended to the highest part of the ruined castle. The wind whispered through the ruins as they advanced, and Angela contemplated the landscape from her elevated position. Finally, the serpent stopped at a specific spot within the castle. Angela observed with curiosity an altar adorned with a bright green stone, shining with magical light.
The serpent emitted another soft hiss, indicating to Angela to take the precious crystal.
With grace and delicacy, Angela descended from the serpent's back and approached the altar. With steady hands, she picked up the green stone and carefully stored it in her ring, thanking the majestic serpent for its help. Once again, she mounted the serpent, and together they left the ancient castle.

Cristal watched in disbelief as Angela seemed to navigate the forest's challenges with uncanny ease. The way animals guided her and helped her obtain valuable materials and artifacts contrasted with the deadly trials other students faced in the castle. To her, it seemed as if the forest were at her mercy, offering its secrets without any resistance.
"Am I the only one who thinks Angela has it way too easy?" commented Cristal, expressing her skepticism about Angela's apparent ease in advancing.
Athena, on the other hand, watched the scene with a more thoughtful expression. She remembered how Alexandra Benedetto, Angela's older sister, had the same ability as her. Both girls related to animals naturally, as if they shared a special bond with them.
"It can't be considered cheating, let's say it's like her innate ability," Athena responded with a shrug.
She watched as Angela easily obtained another crystal, a frown appearing on her face. "Should we remove the animals in the next event?" she thought to herself, but then shook her head, deciding against it.
