The battlefield was silent.
The massive creature's body lay still on the ground, its dark blood slowly spreading across the arena floor.
Karam stood in the center, breathing heavily.
Blood dripped from his arm.
But his expression… remained calm.
Too calm.
"...He did it."
A whisper spread through the crowd.
Students who were once laughing or watching casually were now staring in disbelief.
"He defeated a boss-level creature… alone?"
"Who is he…?"
Karam slowly lowered his arm.
His eyes scanned the area.
People.
Many people.
All staring at him.
Watching.
Judging.
"...annoying."
He turned to walk away.
"Hey!"
The same girl from before called out.
She ran toward him, slightly out of breath.
"You just… ignore everything like that?"
Karam didn't stop walking.
"Yes."
She frowned.
"At least tell me your name."
He paused for a second.
Then answered—
"Karam."
A brief silence followed.
Then she smiled slightly.
"I'm Aira."
Before Karam could respond—
📊 [System Notification]
Warning: Attention Level Rising
New Threat Detected
Karam's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Threat?"
From the distance—
A group of men stood watching him.
Dark uniforms.
Cold expressions.
One of them smiled.
"Found him."
