Shane was curious to know how the large group of young men and women would defeat the superior awakened stage beast, the government's common elite units had problems with.
As such, he followed them without bothering whether or not they noticed him.
It was not like he was forbidden from roaming around and Shane's destination could be in the same direction as theirs though it was unlikely.
However, when the large group consisting of third-year students from one of the other big academies noticed that, they couldn't help but feel that the youth was playing around with them.
Adding the fact that Shane was playing around with Cosmo, who was jumping on his head, it was impossible for them to take him seriously.
They began to wonder whether the youth was trying to kill them by attracting the attention of the surrounding beasts or if there was something they were missing to understand.
