The Author's POV

-Vuuuuam!

Taking a step into the dungeon, I felt the world around me twist.

It first started with my eyesight...everything became black.

Then it was my hearing, my sense of touch followed soon after....thereafter all my remaining senses disappeared.

I felt nothing.

It felt as if I was an insignificant speck of dust drifting in a lonely space.

I soon after lost my sense of time.

...What may have been seconds felt like an eternity.

-Vuuuuam!

"Fuuuuuu...."

Finally, after an unknown period of time, hearing the faint sound of my breathing, I knew that my senses were returning.

Because I had been through this situation before, back in the black market dungeon, I was somewhat able to adjust to the shift in sensations.

Unlike last time, I didn't puke this time.

Opening my eyelids, I found myself inside of a damp and dark environment.

Instantly, a heavy scent of granite invaded my nostrils. Soon after, a cold gush of air brushed against my skin.

Glancing around, I found many students grimacing and holding onto their stomachs—Trying their best to not puke.

-Blaaargh! -Blaaargh! -Blaaargh!

...well, there was always bound to be a few who people who couldn't hold out.

With dungeons being off-limit to people who didn't have Hero licenses, apart from a few, most of the students present had never been inside of a dungeon. Their reaction was understandable.

Arriving and standing before us, a second-year student with a green Lock uniform, warmly smiled towards us.

The student had short curly black hair that gently fell towards the side of his face, and his deep black eyes that seemed to carry a hit of warmth perfectly complemented his hair. He didn't look particularly outstanding, but he seemed to be an amiable person instantly giving people a good impression of him.

As he spoke, his deep yet pleasant voice traveled through each of the student's ears calming them down.

"Alright, fellow students, I'll give you five minutes to recover before I'll start the next briefing."

As soon as his words entered the student's ears, most of the students managed to regain their bearing.
