The Planned Battle

"I heard you almost died. I was praying you died back there, haha."

"Wait, what do you mean? I killed the monster and treated it as if it were a toy. He didn't stand a chance against me!" As he stepped forward, Henry avoided my gaze.

"Alright, okay. Keep walking; we're still quite a distance away."

Then Henry came to a halt and turned around.

"Are we really going to overlook the boss? I'm sure every student would be pushing to eliminate it."

Pfft. I naturally burst out laughing.

The students are strong, but not powerful enough to defeat a monster of that rank. The students have no idea. That single rank difference is far more significant than it appeared.

A monster of mystic rank was a creature that could be slain if you planned ahead of time and gathered enough people to confront it.

However, if the monster just advanced one rank and became a unique rank monster,.

That was a completely different beast.
