Contracting the beast.
[Anna POV],
Looking at Ace and Emma's backs, I couldn't help but feel nervous.
According to Chris, Emma is also strong, and not much weaker than Ace.
Chris is also stronger than me.
Despite coming in first, I am the weakest member of the team.
I also asked Chris about what happened in the dungeon because I was curious how Ace could come out barely complete and in such a sorry state, and when I found out that it was due to a battle between them and a rank 1 monster, I was stunned.
Fortunately, Ace was not alone.
But this only fueled my desire to get stronger.
Aside from that, I need to get stronger for myself, since at this rate, I'll just end up being a burden, which I don't want.
As I was thinking about these things, I took a look at the crow on my shoulder and had an idea for how I could increase my strength by a notch.
Crow was summoned by me using an epic skill, and we have yet to be contracted.
