"The show is over."
The booming voice of a man filled the entire stadium where the exam was taking place. His bald visage exuded an air of authority, draped in a long coat that seed to float around him.
King Reiner Dolphis remained unflinching, his gaze locked onto the figure before him, whose piercing green eyes mirrored his own. There was recognition in Reiner's expression, a familiarity tinged with dread.
"N-Navas..." Reiner's voice trembled slightly as he addressed the figure before him, a na that carried weighty mories of a past he could never forget—the face of his older brother, whom he had once slain with his own hands.
Navas Dolphis, an Executive of Behemoth, held the sa stature as Nikolas Tepes, one of their four leaders.
"Everyone, evacuate the stands imdiately and gather with !" Jas Raven's authoritative command cut through the tension, his swift understanding of the danger at hand driving him to action.
Navas Dolphis was an extrely dangerous person, and the timing of his appearance was strategic—a calculated move that placed the First and Second Year students in imminent danger.
Jas Raven's priority was the safety of all present, yet bitterness gnawed at him as he considered Reiner's presence. While Reiner possessed the strength to face soone of Navas's caliber, the situation was dire. As a fellow Great Noble, Jas had known Navas and understood the circumstances surrounding Reiner's past actions.
But Navas Dolphis was ant to be dead, his death supposed to have occurred a decade prior.
Panic erupted among the students as Navas appeared alongside several dozen individuals, clad in makeshift armor but bearing a disturbing resemblance to half-human, half-beast creatures. They were Hybrids—abominations born of mingling human and beast.
"Kill them all!"
"Damn nobles!"
Their voices mingled with deranged laughter as they descended upon the students, launching relentless attacks. Despite the students' valiant efforts to defend themselves, the Hybrids fought with ferocity, showing no rcy and disregarding the value of life.
"Behemoth..."
The realization struck Jas Raven with chilling clarity. The attack bore the unmistakable mark of Behemoth, implicating Navas Dolphis's allegiance to the notorious organization.
"Everyone, protect the students!" Jas transmitted the urgent ssage to his colleagues through his device before springing into action, rushing to aid the besieged students.
Although concern for Reiner gnawed at his thoughts, Jas knew the King would hold his own in battle. After all, Reiner was one of the esteed Kings of Sancta Vedelia.

Are you kidding ?
Attacking during the exam directly?
On top of that, that freak Navas Dolphis was there too.
"Ahahaha! Look at this chick!"
"She is hella hot! Let's play with her!"
"Oy! Co down and we will treat you 'gently'!"
Amidst the chaos wrought by Navas Dolphis and his accomplices, several n lunged towards us upon sighting Alvara's captivating figure, seated gracefully atop her plant with her umbrella positioned in front of my tied figure.
Since Navas Dolphis and his cohorts had made their presence known, Alvara's deanor had grown even colder.
The Hybrids hurled lewd remarks in an attempt to provoke her, slashing at her plants in a bid to reach her.
-Spurt!
Suddenly, from the stem of one of Alvara's plants, a thorny vine shot forth, impaling one of the n directly through the heart. The unfortunate soul hadn't even anticipated the attack, succumbing instantly as the vine extracted his still-beating heart, casting it callously to the ground.
"Disgusting."
Alvara's expression twisted into one of profound revulsion, a sentint so palpable I had never witnessed it before. Without sparing the assailants so much as a glance, she repeated the word with disdain.
"Disgusting."
-GUARRRH!
-Spurt!
"Disgusting."
-ARGHHHH!
-Spurt!
"Disgusting."
-BUARGHHH!
-Spurt!
"Disgusting."
As she muttered the word under her breath, her eyes flickered between shades of green and gold, her thorny plants launching relentless attacks on the Hybrids. They showed no rcy, tearing into the invaders with a ruthless efficiency that turned the battlefield into a crimson sea.
Sensing the loosening grip of the vines around , I swiftly descended to the ground, unsure if Alvara even noticed my departure.
Her expression was one of pure contempt, her eyes twitching strangely as more plants instinctively surged forth, encircling her in a protective floral barrier against the bloodshed and the grotesque visage of the Hybrids.
It was clear that Alvara harbored a deep-seated hatred for Halves, but her reaction to the Hybrids was even more visceral. To her, they were not even worthy of being considered living beings, eliciting a response of pure disgust.
She was grappling with sothing far beyond re aversion—it was a visceral loathing that bordered on obsession.
The students around us seed more terrified of Alvara's relentless onslaught than of the Hybrids themselves. The air was thick with the stench of blood, flesh, and organs as the grueso spectacle unfolded before us.
Yet, despite the carnage, more and more half beasts continued to converge upon us. I shook my head. John.
I dialed his number again, but he remained unresponsive.
Could he have fallen into their clutches? Is he... dead?
No, I refused to entertain such a possibility. John was not one to succumb easily.
