Mars
In the evening
Back on the academy grounds, Alex met with Julia and Ross. Naturally, Alex's room served as the meeting space for the trio.
They shared their experience during their hunt and what they did with their kills.
"Lucky you," Ross said with folded arms. "I was this close to being overwhelmed."
He recalled how he had a similar encounter during the Veilstorm Descent where he was swallowed by a cosmic mana wave.
This time, it was a bunch of hyena creatures that moved in groups; they were at the peak of Class F, fast and extremely vicious.
After successfully killing the first one, it drew the others to his location.
And because he could not remain in place, he had to make a ran for it while also shooting fireballs at the beasts.
This also resulted in other beasts noticing the commotion and giving chase.
Only after venturing into a relatively stronger beast's territory did the chase come to an end.
