The monitoring center was in chaos.

Two student groups that had just arrived glanced around in confusion, looking at the special rescue teams that seemed to have just arrived as well, hurriedly climbing down from their special rescue vehicle well-armed.

"There are rescue teams? Do you think that something serious had actually happened in the forest?"

"Thankfully we came as soon as we noticed the abnormality despite our assessment"

"There are only one other group beside us, why are the others not here?"

"There's no way they didn't see the signal, those groups must be in trouble and unable to come out. The situation seems pretty terrible to need assistance from rescue teams.."

Students whispered among themselves while trying to figure out what was wrong while the person in charge of the rescue team directly went to meet Director Icquith.
