[Bonus chapter] It can’t be true, Anesthesia.

"I feel sorry for you, Anesthesia," said Veronica.

Upon hearing Veronica, Anesthesia rolled her eyes. She stated: "If Draven decides to turn on me, I will put him through hell for the rest of his days. But now it's time to say goodbye. This is your last conversation with me, so show me some graduate love because I've arranged for you all to die together."

She grinned as she pulled the reins of the horse and made a U-turn to ride toward the academy. Veronica and Alfred were present, along with the gigantic serpent. The serpent turned to look at them as its master departed the location.

"Hisssssh"...

Alfred and Veronica took a small step backward. They killed several monsters along the way, but this one was the largest.

Alfred drew his sword, pointing it at the serpent, and said, "Veronica, keep your distance and strike when the moment is right. Let me dodge it."

"Can you do it by yourself, Alfred? Its size is gigantic. Please stay away from it, I'm afraid." Veronica yelled.
