Jade Callahan didn't know where it had all gone wrong. Sure, the monster had killed the team leader, but that's only because she wasn't paying attention, right? Right?
Surely the three of them, that were among the top strongest in year one, should be able to take care of it. Especially Lucas Dawn, the S-ranked among them, and the one said to be the strongest in year one.
So, how did it turn out this way?
Maybe they should have run immediately. The monster ran towards them without fear, charged right at them, and then proceeded to slaughter all the other year one with them.
Then it looked at Lucas and smiled. It was a clear challenge.
"...let's take care of the weaker one before we clash...."
Lucas had flared up. His whole body had turned slightly red, as if he was made of liquid fire.
And then the three of them fought the monster.
