The Author's POV

"Five-tusked Mammoth? How can we defeat that?"

Kevin and his team looked down below them. An enormous elephant-looking creature with five tusks extending from its mouth leisurely walked across the area below them.

Five-tusked Mammoth, a ranked creature famous for its tremendous strength and tough outer layer.

"T-that's the boss monster isn't it?"

Standing beside Kevin a tall individual spoke. He had brown eyes and black hair. His name was Ray and he came from Lutwik academy.

"It is"

Feeling the tremendous pressure coming from the monster, Kevin knew without a doubt that that was the boss monster.

'Can I defeat it by myself?'

Despite being D ranked himself, Kevin was unsure. Simply put, the pressure exuding from the monster was terrifying. Thinking along those lines, he decided to stay put.

"Let's wait for the other teams to come"

"Other teams?"

"Yeah, at the moment, even if we can try to defeat the monster, without a doubt the other teams will come and may try to steal the kill from us"

If once they were close to defeating the monster the other teams came and stole their kill, Kevin would be pretty pissed.

"Look another team is here"

Suddenly Ray pointed out as he looked towards the distance. Turning around, Kevin looked towards the direction of where Ray was pointing.

"That's Jin...oh, and him"

Kevin instantly spotted Jin standing in the middle of the group. Besides him, was Aaron.

Immediately his eyes narrowed.

He did not have a good impression of Aaron. From the small interaction he had with him, Kevin knew that he was targeting him.

"Hm?"

On the opposite side, sensing something, Aaron turned his head around. A smile emerged on his lips.

"Look who we've got here..."

Aaron's and Kevin's eyes interlocked. Sparks flew in the air. The tension between the two rose.

"Oh, I definitely remember writing this part..."

Whilst Kevin and Aaron were busy looking at each other, on the opposite side, a black-haired blue-eyed youth looked at them with an amused expression.

"Writing what part?"

"Wha-the!"

Startling Ren, Aerin appeared next to him. Placing his hand on his chest, Ren waved his hand.

"Jeezus, don't scare people like that"

"I'm sorry, but what were you talking about before?"

"Hm? Oh nothing, I was just referring to the notes I had made on the five tusked Mammuth"

"Oh, what have you got?"

Aerin instantly got curious.

From what she figured out so far regarding Ren after interacting with him for a bit during the dungeon run was that he had good knowledge of the monsters within the dungeon.

Like their weaknesses and behavioral patterns.

"I forgot"

In response to Aerin's question, Ren shook his head. Aerin was left speechless as a result.

Noticing her reaction, Ren rolled his eyes.
