Jumpscare

Shye couldn't help but inwardly chuckle at Siegfried's slightly nervous appearance.

It was the first time he had seen the battle maniac with such a stiff expression, and he found it naturally amusing.

'Well, it should go away once he's in combat'

As for Shye, he wasn't nervous at all, as he had already completed lots of quests inside death zones.

Although he initially had Zeth's assistance, they would eventually hunt separately.

However, they naturally hunted in close proximity to each other, ready to assist if problems arose.

Naturally, it was mostly the familiar aiding the master, as Shye was still adjusting to the speed and strength of (S-) ranked monstrous creatures. 

Zeth, on the other hand, was strong enough to easily slay the weaker ones and hold her own against the strongest of creatures. 

The past few months of training weren't wasted, as Shye had become strong enough to hunt (S-) ranked creatures alone.
