"Hehe, get ready, you guys…."
In the distance, a bunch of students were incoming!
But the closer they got, the more worried they became. Something was wrong with their destination: all traces led to a monster-infested area!
They had even seen many monsters rushing away as if the devil were after them. This made many reconsider, as they raised unsteady voices:
"W-we should turn back. It's dangerous! We can't save anyone if we're dead, right? Let's turn around and—"
"No! You can leave, but I won't! I failed to save that baby once, but I won't fail yet again, not now!" Their icy leader declared with incredible resolve. To her, this was personal!
Yet she kept biting her lips, fearing the worse.
Whenever she saw a bloody trail or heard a monster shriek, her heart skipped a bit. Whatever awaited them in front was bound to be DEADLY!
Then they finally reached the end of the trail.
It was there, in that clearing.
