Helping a Friend?

Seraphina strode through the Nexus hall.

It was as bustling as always, filled with many students, some wearing armour while some were still in academy uniform.

She wore a dark robe smeared with green blood.

She had just completed the S-Rank mission she had taken previously.

The mission was about collecting troll blood as it had a regeneration effect.

Trolls were difficult enemies to defeat as even the weakest of them were at Expert Rank. With some mutants being in Master Rank.

Mutants were rare and not found easily.

Generally, students completed these kinds of missions in parties.

But Seraphina was different.

She liked being alone, challenging herself to limits.

Her brother Rodrick, who was in his final year, was the leader of one of the strongest parties in the academy.

He insisted she join as well, but she never did.
