First Official hunt (13)

Erik and his group had just finished killing the creature. Still, the situation could have been better: without Robyn and Elena, the three remaining students, Anderson, Erik, and Judith, had to expend much energy; even Anderson was tired.

He still hadn't used his power, but he couldn't use it unless his friends ran away; if they did, he would be overwhelmed by the thaids, so they were stuck between a rock and a hard place.

It wasn't like they didn't think about him using it, but he immediately explained the problem. If he had been stronger, he would have tried doing it, but since he was still a kid, he didn't feel confident or strong enough to do it. Even Anderson had his fears.

"I'm sorry," Elena said. She apologized for having rested after seeing how much time his teammates needed to finish off one monster. "I've rested enough to fight..."

"Good," Erik replied, "because seven monsters are coming our way!" he added.
