Chapter 304: [302] World Tree
The night passed uneventfully, and by the next morning, August woke up early.
Since he had gone to bed early—around nine o'clock the previous night—he found himself wide awake at the break of dawn.
Back at Kuoh Academy, August was accustomed to working late into the night. Though he had spent more than three hours at the succubus house the day before, he had gone there early and, naturally, left early as well.
With nothing pressing on his schedule, August strolled aimlessly through the town for a while. Growing bored, he eventually decided to head out into the wilderness.
His Observation Haki heightened his senses, and it didn't take long for him to locate a magical beast in a nearby forest—a massive gray bear.
Roar~
The gray bear, seeing an intruder in its territory, let out a thunderous roar.
August looked at the bear with great interest. Unlike the monsters in Orario, these magical beasts radiated strong mana from within their bodies, suggesting they were far from weak.
Boom~
When August made no move to leave, the gray bear launched an attack, its enormous paw swiping down toward him.
August effortlessly leaped out of the way, avoiding the blow.
