Senior Lu slowly looked back, his head tilting up to see the massive, looming figure that had appeared. Just its weapon was larger than any one of them, let alone the Oryx itself. 

Those that had been in Valiant Heart for a few years had all heard their fair share of Oryx Tribe horror stories. But, no freshmen had ever seen an Oryx personally… Or, more accurately, no freshmen had ever survived such an encounter to tell the tale. 

Senior Lu's knees went weak. He fell to the ground, his eyes turning almost vacant as he looked up. At that moment, he along with every freshmen felt no different from those beasts who lost their minds to fear. 

The foul smell of the Oryx was seared into their souls. It was the kind of memory they would never forget in their lifetimes.
