The training facility's virtual simulation unfolded in a blazing environment, mirroring the real climate of the Philippines, which was characterized by a hot and humid atmosphere. Zhou, despite the heat, maintained his arrogance, walking with a swagger as he embarked on his quest to locate the Sprout-level demon beast.
The heat seemed to amplify his arrogance. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, but he refused to acknowledge the discomfort. Instead, he marched forward, an aura of superiority surrounding him.
Unknown to most, including his fellow students, Zhou harbored an irrational fear—arachnophobia. His dread of spiders was a well-hidden secret, concealed behind his façade of arrogance. The virtual simulation, unknown to Zhou, would soon tap into this hidden fear.
As Zhou roamed through the virtual forest, the students observed the scene, offering their own remarks.
"Look at him strut like he owns the place. Can't stand that arrogance."
