Chapter 100: The Black Capsule

It was just past 4 PM when I was led to the back of the stadium, through the service entrance.

In one of the wide, high-ceilinged areas, I spotted Principal Hasegawa, Professor Osmond, and Dorm Master David, along with several upperclassmen, including the third-year representatives. Among them were notable figures like the blonde beauty, Rufna Gwendal, representing the Slug Guild, and the sharp-eyed, handsome Lee Seong-woo, the Hedgehog Guild's representative.

As I entered, all eyes turned toward me. I recognized the feeling immediately—it was like walking into class late, with everyone staring at you.

"Sorry I'm late."

"It's no problem. You're just in time. Now, let's begin. It's time to select the monster you'll face in the first trial," Principal Hasegawa said, gesturing to Dorm Master David, who rolled in a large machine and placed it in front of us.
