"Seventeen ordinary-grade dragons so far. We're still at the top of the leaderboard, but the second-place team is close behind with fifteen dragons. They're only a step away from us."
Putting away her blood crossbow, Helena opened the event leaderboard.
Despite their top position, she wasn't as optimistic as she had expected.
"By the way, this S. character was also ranked pretty high in the last major event, wasn't he? Even though he's a thief class, a class meant for assassination, he's so proficient in hunting too?"
"Maybe he has a group of strong companions? Anyway, if we get the chance..."
Before Helena could finish, John cut in, "If we get the chance, I'll definitely kill that guy."
"You've said that before, John. What grudge do you have with him?"
"Nothing. I've never even met him."
"Then why... never mind, it's a secret. I didn't ask."
Helena shrugged and glanced at a nearby unfamiliar team battling an earth dragon.
