A week had to pass before the Niqols felt confident in sending the students into some areas that the monsters had conquered since the beginning of the crisis.
The sunlight had never stopped filling Nitis in that period, and the students had left the encampment every day to help contain the relentless expansion of the mutated animals. The new battlefields weren't as dangerous as the firsts since the higher-ups could study the situation beforehand, but casualties happened anyway.
Some students had been unlucky enough to witness new mutations on monsters who had fought against many packs after the initial expansion. They had accumulated enough mana to experience a new transformation due to the constant radiation that filled the surface, and the young warriors had to pay the price for that.
