Rain combed through the forest like a woman possessed.
Her boots crushed fallen leaves as she pushed past a thick curtain of vines, scanning every patch of light that broke through the branches.
"I'm sure it's around here…" she muttered under her breath. Sweat beaded her forehead, but her steps didn't slow.
She hadn't been in this class in the original timeline. But now, as a regressor, she intended to grab every single advantage she could.
"Where that guy found the Phoenix Egg…" she whispered with her eyes darting left and right.
That egg was the reason he rose to fame… the one who had been blessed by the world itself.
After the egg hatched, he'd earned fame, influence, and power beyond reason and also became Reinhardt's best friend.
Rain had died too early to witness how far he went with it, but one thing was certain… she wouldn't let him have it this time.
"I'll use it better than him anyway," she muttered, brushing past another bush.
Then she froze.
