"Teacher... Teacher?"
In the cold corridor, Siegel, a massive man covered in scars like a bear, was visibly emotional. He looked at his gray-haired teacher, his happiness evident. For Siegel, Otto, the former Vice Dean of the Clinic, was undoubtedly the person he respected the most. Two years ago, when signs of Wild Beast transformation appeared on Otto, he voluntarily requested to be confined to the third level of the Wild Beast's Nest.
Siegel admired his teacher's decision, as it was the responsibility of every hunter at the Clinic. But deep down, he still felt a sense of loss for the Vice Dean, who was like a father to him. Because being imprisoned in the Wild Beast's Nest meant an inevitable end, where the last bit of sanity was erased and death followed upon complete transformation.
