A pack of wolves ran away the second they noticed the large group of men, shining in their steel armor. They had already killed many snakes, boars, and other small animals. Auren had no idea why the hell they were doing that. Most animals tried to hide upon seeing the shiny humans, but the soldiers and knights ran after them—killing them and showing them off to others with pride.

In a world that was full of summoned beasts, and the only way to get stronger was through hunting prey—proving how good a hunter one was had to be a thing of pride. Small birds, squirrels, and even rodents—the Blue Crest Knights had all kinds of animals as their summons, and they kept them close while killing these random animals along the way.
