I let out a deep sigh and relaxed myself again, but then I saw that Adrian was still standing.
"Why are you standing?"
Adrian had turned his gaze away from me. He was just looking between the trees. The strange thing was that there was nothing but leaves.
"Si-"
My words were interrupted by a tremor that shook the ground like a violent earthquake, followed by an extremely violent explosion.
I quickly looked in the direction of the sound, the spot Adrian had been looking at for some time, and then I saw smoke rising from it.
"Wh- what?"
I was so shocked that I had accidentally spoken out loud.
Why is this happening?
In the original story, students hunt creatures in groups for the preliminary. The group that told me to crush Adrian brought a few overpowered creatures to the preliminary to test him.
