Clarence was stunned when he heard that. It was going to be difficult, sure, when he last saw the group attempting to defeat the beast, but he didn't think it would be that disastrous.
Losing half of the members would be insanely damaging for a group no matter how you see it. Clarence turned around went for the place where group leaderboards were hung to see where the club stood in ranks.
When he got there, he was stunned to find out that the Bird Of Paradise had actually moved up from their fourth place to third place.
Clarence was just about ask around when he felt a hand on his shoulder and heard,
"The allied academy had miscalculated the difficulty of the mission."
Clarence looked behind to notice that it was Everett who had come. Everett looked at his little brother and continued,
"As you know, I am always collecting information. So I came here after hearing about Bird Of Paradise and asked around for what had happened."
