July 20, 2080, Monday.
Outside the [Labyrinth of the Nurturer].
Or to be more precise, inside [CLASS A-1]'s classroom...
"They're supposed to come out of the labyrinth today, right?"
"Yeah, from what I heard it seems like they already reached the end and even killed the boss monster."
Two girls could be heard chatting with each other. They were Trexiel and Joana, seated side by side while their classmates went about their own business.
The two of them were talking about Alec and the others who had entered the dungeon a week ago.
"Amazing..."
Joana mumbled as her eyes slightly widened.
"They cleared it in just a week. Even tertiaries can't achieve something like that so easily."
Her tone carried a mix of disbelief and admiration.
"It's all because he has Alec, Curtis, and Eve with him."
Trexiel replied without hesitation, speaking with complete confidence.
"Huh? I think it's more because of Blake, Adelle, and Aoi."
