The Cursed Tower

As soon as Arsene gave the signal to begin the raid, the third-year students of Braveheart Knight Academy surged into The Cursed Tower, weapons drawn and battle-ready.

I caught a glimpse of Cain leading his team into the dungeon with almost reckless enthusiasm. He was laughing, clearly exhilarated at the thought of battle.

"That damn battle maniac. He looks more like a barbarian than a hero," Envi scoffed in my mind.

I couldn't help but chuckle at that.

Unlike the others who rushed in, my team took a more relaxed approach. We were the last ones to enter the dungeon.

"Uh, Naoki… are you sure this is okay? If we're too slow, Cain might reach the boss first and win," Marius asked, concern evident in his voice.
