"You guys will be protected but I want you guys to look after yourselves, so you will have to get stronger by yourselves and that's the reason why I'm bringing you guys into a gate, so good luck!" Eshwar gave an encouraging speech to all the students with a bright smile.
"Good luck." Eshwar walked back to Isha and said.
'Dark yellow with light orange strokes, he is worried and nervous...'
"....." Isha furrowed her brows and stared at Eshwar.
"Let's go..." She said to the students and walked towards the dungeon.
"..." Eshwar stood, silently.
"Dungeon rank is E, it's the lowest level dungeon we can create because, we are strong..." Stuart gave a brief before starting to bragging.
Isha ignored him, walked towards the gate, and then came to a halt because she had an uneasy feeling she shouldn't enter...
'Ho, don't be nervous students are here, though I couldn't care less....'
"Ok, we'll be entering the dungeon." Isha announced to the students before going in.
".... You'll decide your roles on your own, and I'll be waiting for you to call me when you're finished." Isha said as she walked to the back of the team and stood cross-armed.

Inside the dungeon. The dungeon was semi-lit, with small wisps of light flitting around.
Students chose a formation of four tanks, three damage dealers behind the tankers, two supporters behind the damage dealers, and a damage dealer in the rear, though a supporter and a damage dealer on the right have been grumbling.
Tankers consisted of a girl and three men. Damage dealers were all men, while supporters included a girl and a boy. Finally, the rear damage dealer was a female.
GROWL (3x)
"GET READY." A tankers yelled.
'Hmm... I need names for them, but..... Meh, they'll be T1, T2, T3, and T4 from the right for the tankers, left, middle, and right for damage dealers, S1 and S2 for supporters, and this girl will be 'rear'.... Ho, perfect.'
Isha named all of the students in their current positions and was pleased with the outcome.
ROOOOAAAAARRRRRR
CLANK (4x)
Wolf type monsters charged at the tankers with their pack.
'Around 20 huh...' Isha thought.
"Now!" T2 a girl tanker yelled.
BOOM
"We know! Goddamnit." Right grumbled.
THUMP
He struck the wolf's head with his sword, which didn't even cut through, he blushed red in embarrassment, and struck it again, getting the same result.
THUMP
"Che, What the f**k are you guys standing for, f**king attack!!!" T2 yelled at the other damage dealers, who were lost in their own thoughts.
"N-no...." S1 trembled.
"We're going to die..." S2 said, destroying any hope the students had.
"Che..." Isha clicked her tongue.
".... professor is here, so don't worry. Fighting!!" Vinny tried to calm them down.
"Fighting?" Katharine titled her head, puzzled.
"Che." Violet clicked her tongue.
"Ah! Right, guys fighting!!" Katharine appeared to have realised something when she joined Vinny.
'Imbeciles.' Isha thought as she stood cross armed.
"Yea, so, f**king fight!!" T2 rage was at peaks.
RAAAWWWRR
SPLURT
"Gaaaa." T1 let down his guard and was clawed on his left arm while holding his shield in his right hand; the wolf had attacked him from the gap between the two shields.
"Incompetent fools..." Isha muttered.
'Dark hands.' Isha mumbled in her head.
Shadowed arms emerged from wolves' shadows, restraining and immobilising them on the spot.
"Let's get out of here, you guys are a waste of time!" Isha spoke in hushed tones that were clearly heard by all.
"B-bu-but ma'am..." everyone said in union.
"Hm?" Isha glared at them, expecting Eshwar to be disappointed.
"..." Without knowing what to say, everyone just stared at the ground.
"Let's go out if you have nothing else to say." Isha said and started walking out.
*
Isha and the others walked out of the dungeon, their faces dejected. Eshwar jogged towards them, glaring at the supporters.
"Oii." Eshwar called out to the team.
"Y-yes sir?" everybody except T2 asked.
"Are you dumb? You f**king idiots, heal your f**king friend... or at the very least your classmate." He yelled, pointing to T1, who was bleeding.
"Ah!" supporters dashed over to T1 and began healing his arm with their light green mana.
"... You! Come here." He called T2.
"Y-yes sir?" She stutteringly approached Eshwar.
"Your name was Thea, right?" he asked.
"Y-yes sir." Thea nodded her head.
"You can join again if you want." He said, looking at the shield.
"Eh?" everyone looked at Eshwar in disbelief.
"What? Isha?" he asked and looked at Isha who nodded.
"Yes, at least she tried unlike everybody else." Isha said, nonchalantly.
"Now, next group will be you, you, you,... and you." Eshwar pointed at the other ten students including Thea.
***
After four batches of ten students returned, only the second batch made any progress with Thea, and the third batch returned with a guy who pissed himself, which relieved tension among students who laughed heartily at him.
Elmer Knight, who is supposedly my younger brother, pissed himself and became a laughingstock.
'I mean, it wasn't my fault he became a laughingstock, and I, too, laughed at him, so I can't blame the students for laughing.'
"Pfft." I remembered his expression when he came out of the gate with his hands covering his crotch.
I took out a cigar and lit it with a regular lighter because I wasn't experiencing any mana backlash at the time and wanted to smoke.
PUFF
"Hahahaha." I laughed as I stared at Elmer Knight, my cigar in my mouth and between my thumb and index finger.
'She should have realised at least something by now.'

In the dungeon.
Katline was hard time standing still and not helping her fellow classmates.
'I know why Sir Eshwar wanted them to come into a dungeon, but this....'
Her classmates were struggling against a pack of wolves. Some were bleeding and being treated by supporters, while others defended them. Three people had been attacked: a damage dealer and two tanks.
They were leaning against a wall while others defended them; there were some issues and grumblings from the rich kids at first, but they worked together as a team from the second wolf pack.
All of the rich kids' egos were destroyed in front of the monsters, and they were now working as a team, which made Katline happy and bitter at the same time because she couldn't help when she was only a few inches away from them.
'Sir Eshwar must have sent me her to test my patience and self control....' Katline thought.
