บท 61: High-risk, High-reward

A deafening silence followed Freya's words.

Everyone except Solomon and Azriel looked shocked at her.

It was understandable—assigning missions to students was something that normally only happened in the second year, not the first.

"What is the meaning of this, Freya?"

Juliet was the first to break the silence, scowling.

"It's exactly as I said, Juliet. I'm personally assigning Azriel a mission when he goes to the Void Dungeon. We have reason to believe that Neo Genesis will attempt an attack then."

"...!"

Juliet, Salvator, and Ranni all reacted to the news.

"So, they've finally decided to make their move...!"

Salvator furrowed his brows.

"But why Cadet Azriel!? Even if he is the Apex of the first years, the reason missions are only given to second years is because they've already built up enough..."

Juliet trailed off, realizing what she was about to say.

Experience.
