'I can't accept it-'

*Swoosh*

"Roargggg". A painful and angry roar came from the bear.

I opened my eyes, widening in shock as I watched the scene unfold before me.

The ferocious bear was now tightly holding its bleeding hand, furiously breathing out hot air heavily. Its eyes were filled with unquenchable anger.

I looked at its hand, where it was injured. A flash of metal flashed in my eyes.

'It's an arrow!'

An archer who could hit a target so accurately was definitely not an unknown person. And the only one I knew who was capable of doing so in the first year was...

I turned my head, a small figure caught my eye. She was like a light illuminating the dark night, pulling me out of despair.

I shouted with a face full of gratitude and joy.

"Liz!!"

"Where the hell is he...?"

A petite girl with orange hair was running quickly in the forest. She frowned and muttered, wondering where her friend was.

"Grrrrrrrrrr!-"

*Swish*

A mutated monster suddenly appeared not far from the girl. But before it could make a move, an arrow cut through the air and pierced its temple, killing it instantly.

"Ahhhh, so annoying! Just leave me alone and let me find Danny!" Livy said in frustration.

She's been running through the forest since the beginning of class, searching for Danz without any luck. Along the way, she's had to fight off numerous monsters. With her incredible archery skills, Livy easily dispatches any creature that gets too close. But the constant movement and battles have started to wear her down.

Looking at the countdown timer, Livy couldn't help but frown. More than half of the time had passed.

The remaining time wasn't much, but she still hadn't seen any trace of Danz. This made her a little discouraged.

"No, I promised to team up with Danny!" She shook her head vigorously, shaking off that thought.

Even though it was quite late now, a promise was a promise, she had to find Danz and team up with him. She didn't have time to think about giving up right now.

She pulled herself together, then continued moving, searching for her first ever friend.

...

"Huh?"

While Livy was concentrating on searching for Danz, she smelled a faint scent of blood. A strange premonition rose within her. She had a feeling that she would find traces of Danz there.

Without hesitating for too long, Livy quickly headed towards the direction of the smell of blood.

A cave with traces of a brutal battle appeared before her eyes, making her unable to help but raise her guard. She carefully observed the remaining traces of the battle.

Based on what she observed, she thought that this battle had just happened not too long ago. The blood and everything was still very fresh.

There were traces of something being dragged, creating a large trail on the ground. It looked like the crawling tracks of a large snake. There were some messy footprints around.
