"Anyone looking for team members for the training mission?"
"I'm a captain and I'm looking for some strong members!"
"We need some scouts and healers over here!"
There were all kinds of voices ringing out as we stood in front of the dungeon entrance.
Only I couldn't feel as relaxed as everyone else.
The reason that we were here was because this was the mandatory trip that the school took after the summoning ceremony. It was to let those that had newly summoned familiars get used to fighting with their familiars.
In this world, there was no guarantee that one wouldn't encounter a monster even though the monster problem had been controlled by past summoners.
But this place was rather safe since it was an E Rank dungeon.
It only contained monsters that weren't that strong.
Well, they also weren't that weak either since it wouldn't be an experience if they were too weak.
Though deaths weren't common, deaths were still expected from time to time.
That was the kind of world this was.
The main reason that I couldn't feel relaxed was because I had been chosen as one of the team captains for this trip into the dungeon.
The way that this training session was set up was that there were team captains that were chosen and they would be free to form whatever teams they wanted. The reason for this was that the team captains were those that had high ranking familiars, which would help reduce the number of casualties.
With the powerful team captains supporting the teams, there would be less danger.
Which was strange that I was chosen as a team captain since my familiar was one of the weakest ones out there.
But it wasn't hard to figure out what had happened.
When the teams were announced, I noticed the look that the instructor gave Wang Teng.
Even when Long Tang Tang complained, the instructor just simply said, "These were the team captains that were chosen by the school. We took into account that he had high scores in the past, which would mean that he knows how to look after himself. That will help reduce the number of casualties."
The excuse that he gave was very systematic and logical, but it was clearly full of BS.
Still, there was nothing that could be done since it was something that the school decided.
So even now, I was alone as we stood in front of the dungeon entrance.
"Are you sure that you don't want to come with my team? We don't need to care about their rules, I'll take responsibility."
Long Tang Tang had tried convincing me to go with her, but I shook my head in response.
Even if I was a man that had summoned the lowest grade familiar, I was still someone that had the pride of a man. At the same time, I knew that it would be impossible for them to even let us do something like that.
In the end, Long Tang Tang's team was filled with people that had also summoned low grade familiars.
The school sent them to her team and she was someone that couldn't just abandon people, so she accepted them and decided to carry them through this dungeon.
In the distance, I could also see Wang Teng looking over at me from time to time.
His team was made of his lackeys and Xia Xue, the second most beautiful girl in our grade. She was someone who went after men with power and once in the past, she had wanted to latch onto me before.
But now…it seemed that she had changed targets.
The way that Wang Teng looked at me, it was clear what he was doing.
He was targeting me.
It seemed that this trip into the dungeon wouldn't be smooth, but I was a person that had been the top scorer. I was someone who knew how to take care of myself in the dungeon.
I was pulled out of my thoughts by the voice that came from the gate.
"Everyone, get ready to enter the dungeon."
The ones that were administering this were the same instructors and staff members that had been in charge of the summoning ceremony.
They made us go into the gate one by one, so I was stuck there waiting for everyone else to enter first.
When it was my turn to enter the gate, I was the only one that was left outside.
Still, I went forward to claim my supply pack.
"There's nothing left for you."
The one that said this was the same instructor for our class who had been trying to suck up to Wang Teng.
I knew as soon as he said this that he was doing this on purpose.
Wang Teng most likely already had him in his pockets, which was why he wasn't scared to act this way even though it was against the rules of the school.
It seemed that they really wanted me to die.
Looking around, I saw that no one else said a thing.
It seemed that there wouldn't be a single person standing up for me since I had the lowest grade familiar.
I couldn't say anything, but that didn't mean that I would forget this.
Gritting my teeth, I just simply said, "Move out of the way and let me in then."
The instructor didn't say anything as he gave a simple nod and moved aside as if he was gesturing to the dungeon entrance.
I didn't think that they would actually do anything to the dungeon entrance since this was something that was regulated by the school. It seemed that I had completely underestimated how far they were willing to go.
Right before I could step through, I felt someone pushing me from behind.
As I fell into the dungeon gate, I turned back to see that it was the instructor who pushed me.
There was an evil smile on his face as he pushed me forward.
I had really underestimated how far these people were willing to go.
