Chapter 103: How Is This Possible?
While Daniel was trying to figure out a solution for his map issue, somewhere far away, deep inside a cave, eight people were trapped inside a large cage.
All of their faces were filled with fear, terror, regret, and a kind of suffering that couldn't be put into words.
But none of them dared to speak. Three of them had already been killed by the Lizardmen just for talking, after angering that monster.
In one corner of the cage, a beautiful girl with white hair was leaning against the bars. Unlike the others, there was no fear in her expression. Instead, she was trying to calm down the girl next to her, who was shaking with fear.
"Tianna, there's no need to be scared. I'm sure the Academy will rescue us," Alice whispered softly into her friend's ear.
Her friend was a beautiful girl with long brown hair and hazel eyes. Her skin was tan, and she was relatively short.
Alice was doing her best to comfort her friend. Like Alice, the girl had great potential, but unfortunately, she was naturally timid and never wanted to become an Awakened.
However, she was forced into the academy by her family, and because she lacked interest, she struggled a lot. Now, being in a situation like this had only made her fear worse.
"Hic… Alice, didn't you see? Three of our friends were killed right in front of us! The Academy won't come for us," the girl named Tianna said, her voice trembling and full of fear.
Maybe Alice's words would have worked before, but after seeing her classmates die like that, they meant nothing.
Tianna was certain they were all going to die. It was just a matter of when.
Alice let out a quiet sigh. Even she no longer believed her own words. Was this really going to be the end for her?
