"I thought you saved her in some other manner, not in a fight!"
Aayod exclaimed, his voice tinged with both awe and disbelief.
"Let's leave that aside."
Aditya suggested, his tone shifting to a more serious note.
"Do you know anything about the second stage of the entrance exam?"
Aayod nodded, understanding the urgency in Aditya's voice. Aditya had a rough idea of what was to come. From what he had gathered, the second round was a team-based hunt. Participants would be tasked with hunting minions, which were inferior creatures from the demon tribe known for their low-level intelligence. This round would take place at Chazazh Mountain, a notoriously treacherous location.
"Though I don't know exactly,"
Aayod began,
"from what I know, the second stage is particularly grueling."
