Crimson Shade [1]

The white orb in the sky glared at us from above. 

I stared at it for a few seconds before lowering my head to see that my surroundings had turned a subtle shade of red. 

'When did this...?" 

"Hooo." 

Each breath started to hurt.

Accompanying it was a tingling pain at the back of my throat.

Looking around me, the other cadets were facing similar struggles. With eyes widened in panic, and their hands clawed at their throats.

"The Yellow region is a dangerous region not only due to the Terror ranked beasts that are present throughout, but also because of the dangerous environment. This right here is just a taste of the scorching heat of the Crimson Shade." 

In the background, the instructor's voice rang. 

"There's no specific location or time to the Crimson Shade. It'll just happen randomly, scorching everything its veil falls upon." 

The heat intensified and the pain at the back of my throat intensified.
