"Who's that?"
The sound of boots trampling on dead leaves was as crisp as crunching potato chips, impossible to ignore.
A 'Red-mouthed frog' with an unusually large mouth hopped onto a robust tree trunk, poised to pounce.
On the ground, a 'Large Horned Rhino,' alert, lowered its head, ready to charge at any moment.
"Crack... crack..."
Joe and Pete finally saw clearly, there was only one person in front of them.
But unlike their academy mates dressed in school uniforms, this person wore icy blue light armor. The blue frog emblem on his chest seemed to be laced with gold dust, sparkling brilliantly under the refracted light.
"A royal elite??"
Coming to their senses, Joe and Pete exchanged a glance and started to flee.
They jumped onto the back of the Large Horned Rhino, called the Red-mouthed Frog to follow, and then ran off in a panic.
Royal elites...even with just a thought, they were on the level of the Ten Emeralds and the Ten Great Heavenly Proud Sons!
