We ended up returning from the Dungeon after descending to the third floor.
There were a few more skirmishes with some monsters but nothing much happened in all of them so we got back safely with no major injuries.
When we teleported out of the Dungeon though…
"Ahhh!! My arm!!"
"Help me!!"
"It hurts!!"
"Rats… Rats everywhere… Scary… So scary…"
"Walls… So scary… So dark…"
Many students were gathered around the triage station groaning in pain or hugging themselves looking quite traumatised.
Err… Was it really that bad? Aren't the rats all really weak?
And according to Tika, those rats were supposed to be the strongest in this Dungeon right? So what were the other weaker monsters?
In fact… Now that I think about it… I've seen nothing but rats in the Dungeon this entire time, where did all the other monsters go?
"Is this normal?" I asked no one in particular.
