“Master Caron, this is…” “Yes, the information seems accurate. Someone is undergoing physical assimilation.” What followed was a tedious continuation of tracking. By the seventh day, the number of disappearing rats’ corpses had increased dramatically. It had given up running and chosen to fight instead. Or rather, it had been forced into that situation. And…

Luna’s sword was pointed at me. Looking at her, I cheerfully said. “I don’t want to.” “…” “Luna?” “Ah, why!

The morning after the duel. Rodelin, arriving at the student council room, was inevitably shocked. “The duel arena… it’s been destroyed?” No matter how much she rubbed her eyes, the words written on the document didn’t change. -Duel arena ceiling collapsed.

Daike’s treatment had already been completed. The injury was severe, so a high-grade potion was needed, but it didn’t make a hole in Teron’s pocket. “Are you feeling better?” “Yes, I can move right now.” “Good, let’s think about what’s next.

“Cough…” “What, it’s over already? I expected as much, but that was too easy.” Luna sheathed her sword. The duel with Godner. It ended with Luna’s victory. It was a one-sided duel. To the extent that the prideful Godner couldn’t even think of standing up. ‘Damn it! What kind of monster is she?’ It was…
