To enter the Riplanica Republic, Elena with her selected students and Azure Legion adventurer group went to the northern border of the Myrilia Kingdom. From there they crossed the border in the domain of Margrave Cornelius and went toward the Riplanica Higher Institution.

Unlike the Royal Academy, the Riplanica Higher Institution was situated in a completely different domain far away from the capital. The distance between the border where Elena's group entered the country and the location of the institution was quite long. So Elena left the country about 10 days before the start of the expedition, on the 10th of the Tyr month.

After entering the foreign country the students were all very excited to see the scenery of a different country. But they were quite disheartened to see nothing different. But they soon had to get serious as the security throughout the journey was left to them. Elena and the Azure Legion would only help if the enemy had a much higher level than them.

The students were all elite and they knew their role very well and about what they had to do. Rondo, Andric and Hans became in charge of scouting the route as they had experience as scouts. Lucian, Quinn and other close quarters fighters were in charge of protecting the mages like Colette, Demiliona etc. Prescilia was staying inside the carriage alongside the teachers as her safety was most important. Her healing abilities could easily change the course of any battle.

Fiona Belle also stayed with Prescilia as they became very good friends while they were getting trained by the Azure Legion. Fiona was also acting as her guardian as the strongest among the selected students. Even tho Uoni had a very strong willpower his strength was really low and he was the weakest among the members excluding the first year and Hans who was a second year. There was a high chance that even most of the first years might be stronger than him. So he also stayed in the back alongside Fiona and Prescilia.

Their journey went on without much trouble until they reached a region that was infamous inside the Republic for having strong bandits. Even tho the republic tried quite a few times to get rid of these bunch of bandits, they were unsuccessful to do so with the normal army. And deploying the elite army to destroy them was not worth it in the eyes of the higher ups as the bandits living here never left the region. So the higher ups of the Riplanica Republic decided to just abandon this route and create a new one close by.

But going through here would be a short cut so Elena told the group to use this old route. This was also a type of test for the students. And Elena could dislike many things but she could never dislike bandits. They were Elena's favourite. So, for obvious reasons, Elena preferred this route. And if bandits actually came to attack them then Elena would just have a bit more extra income. It was no big deal.

As Elena was a World Savior, her luck was quite good. And as she expected just as they went a bit deeper inside the infamous region they were attacked by the bandits very soon. Not once, not twice but for six times with a single day. For the first two attacks the bandits were weak and so the students were able to handle them alone without any trouble. But after that the strength of the bandit group attacking them increased and Nina went to help them.

For the last attack before night fell, there was a bandit who was over level 200 among the bandits who attacked them. Not only that he was also quite good at running away as Nina was not able to kill him and he succeeded in running away. After that as the night became deeper Elena's group heard footsteps of a lot of people coming their way.

Soon everyone was able to see a large group heading their way. There were about 300 people in that group. Some among them were releasing the aura of high level individuals. The students became alert seeing the large and scary group. This group was too strong for them, so Alessia and her party told them to go back inside the tents.

A man walked out in front of the group and addressed Elena and the Azure Legion -

"I'm Mohad, the leader of this bunch. Hehe, you all have entered our turf so I hope you all are ready for the consequences."

Marina replied back -

"Hey, but talk for a bunch of lowlife. Do you think we came here without knowing anything? All of you are nothing but some small fry."

Hearing a beautiful looking lady taunting them, the bandits didn't get angry and instead started laughing at them. This bandit group had a lot of confidence in themselves as they were able to repel even the army of the Republic. Elena didn't mind them and just told Alessia and her group to leave the leader alive as she needed him to lead her to their base.

The battle, no, the slaughter, ended in just 10-12 minutes. The Azure Legion were able to easily get rid of all the bandits. Alessia just took care of the leader who was decently strong at level 247, almost equivalent to a A ranker and Marina took down 5 others with levels over 200. All the other bandits were taken care of by Nina and Shia. Shia's wide area spells and Nina's sneak attacks easily took care of them.

Then all of them including the students went to raid the almost empty bandit base. Elena wanted to give the students the sweet taste of looting the bandits so she took them with her. This raid was a very successful one as they were able to get quite a lot of loot from the bandits earning close to 1.2 million R.

Other than this incident they did not face any other trouble on their way and reached the Riplanica Higher Institution on the 18th of the Tyr month. The institution gave quite a good reception but after seeing that the Myrilia Royal Academy did not bring many students they became slightly displeased but let it slide after seeing that the students who came with Elena were all quite talented.

They were also able to fulfill their wish to have help of a S rank powerhouse which would make the process of clearing the dungeon quite a bit easier. Elena instructed Alessia to hide her status as a S rank adventurer as that might scare the institution and she said Marina became the temporary leader with her status as an A rank adventurer.

Other than Myrilia Royal Academy, the group from University of Sousion had also arrived. When Elena and her group went to greet them they showed quite a lot of hostility toward her group. But it was expected as Myrilia kingdom had a very bad relationship with the Danclesiv kingdom. The group from Sky Parade Academy was yet to arrive.

The Riplanica Higher Institution decided to hold a meeting on the day before the expedition to give a detail plan about how they wanted to conquer the dungeon. They would also decide on a leader for the expedition on that day.

Now the time to start the expedition was coming closer.
