First Kill

The moment Leo stepped foot outside the safe zone, his heart started throbbing with excitement, almost as though he'd just entered another world.

Although it was just a couple of steps, Leo could feel an immediate change in the atmosphere.

His eyes wandered left and right without stopping— he's never been this focused even during important examinations.

Suddenly, a loud bang resounded not too far away from their location, causing Leo to jump and point his weapon in that direction.

"W-What was that?!" He asked.

"We're not the only ones out there. There will be other Adventurers. Although I told you to stay focused, you don't need to be so stiff and nervous. That will actually make it more likely for you to mess up." Miss Camille said to him.

"I understand… I will try to calm down a little." Leo sighed.

However, it was easier said than done. After all, he's never seen monsters before, much less fight them.
