The mansion was where ss 1-Hero-1 staying at the moment. All the staff of the mansion and cadets of Nova Academy lost couleur on their faces as they read the warnings that were sent to them.

    EMERGENCY ALERT


    EMERGENCY ALERT


    S RANK DOUNGEN HAS BEEN EXPLOED AT THE EDGE OF SILVA CITY!!! ALL THE NERBAY PEOPLE LEAVE THAT AREA!!


    EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY!


    ____


    At that moment Lilian''s phone vibrated and she picked up the phone.


    "Hello?"


    -Miss Lillian Ashbourne this is Shisha a [A+] ranked hero, I know that you are here on a trip with your ss but we need your help as you are the only an S- rank here at the moment.


    "Don''t worry, I was already nning to head there," Lillian said to Shisha.


    -Thank you for your help, Miss Lillian Ashbourne.


    Saying that, Shisha cut the phone from the other side.


    Sigh


    Lillian let out a sigh, she thought this trip would go smoothly but she didn''t know that things would turn worse.


    ''Where is Yato?''  Lillian thought as she didn''t know where is Yato at the moment. With him, The fight will end in a few minutes.


    But he is not here and she can''t reach his phone either.


    ''Let''s think about himter.'' Lillian thought as she left her room.


    Lillian a relieved that all the students at the moment are inside of the mansion. The mansion is very far away from the S-rank dungeon and monsters will have difficulty reaching here, and this ce has advanced Security that was built for this type of situation.


    Lilian reached the entrance of the Mansion and saw there was amotion going here.


    She reached near entrance and found that it was her students that we were having problems with.


    The students are Adrian, Sunny, Isabe and Evelyn.


    "Open the gate, will you? I''m saying one of our ssmates is out there." Adrian said to the guard but the guard didn''t even change his expression at the words Adrian.


    "I can''t do that, I can''t allow any of you to go outside at this moment," Guard said to Adrian who just grits his teeth in return.


    Sunny who had enough waiting here, finally opened his mouth and said, "Look, dude my friend is near the where S-rank dungeon exploded and we have to save him."


    "What is happening here?" Lilian asked when she reached the closed gate of the mansion.


    "Miss Lillian."


    "Professor Lillian."


    "Please help us, professor."


    Three voices said at the same time, the voice belonged to Isabe, Evelyn and Adrian.


    "It''s about Lucas, he isn''t here. He said he was going sightseeing toward the edge of Silva City and there the S-rank dungeon exploded.


    Evelyn took a step forward toward Lillian and said with a worried expression on his face.


    Lillian''s eyes widened as she heard what Evelyn said. She thought every student was in the mansion but Lucas was not there at the moment.


    "And this guard won''t let us go outside to search for him." Isabe shot a dark look toward the guard at the entrance of the Mansion.


    Lillian gazed at Evelyn and Isabe. There was a confused expression on her face but soon a smirk came to her lips.


    Lilian knows that Isabe is cold toward others but here she expresses concern for Lucas.


    On the other hand, Evelyn shows many types of emotions on her face, anger, sadness, hope and worry.


    From all the emotion Lillian could tell that Evelyn was deeply worried about Lucas we''ll bring.


    "Don''t worry about him. I''m heading toward where he is at the moment. I will save him after all he is my student." Lillian said to Evelyn and Isabe and walked past them.


    "Sunny step back, Adrian you too."


    "Yes Mam." both of them stepped back from guard as they heard Lillian''s voice.


    "Open the gate, for me," Lillian said as she let out a small amount of bloodlust from her to Gurd.


    His face colour changed, as he felt the bloodlust from Lillian.


    "Yes, Mam."  He said and opened a gate for her.


    Lillian walked past to get with a cold expression on her face.


    ***


    Lucas was trembling, cold fear rising from the depths of his heart to swallow him whole. This was not a conscious response, but an instinctual reaction, it was beyond his control.


    The echoing ringing meant only one thing — run! Run if you wish to live, if you don''t want to die in a manner so harrowing that words could not describe it.


    ''10 minutes, what bullshit.'' that was nothing. Less than nothing. It was not nearly enough time for people to run, and not nearly enough for help to arrive.


    ''Fuck, my luck.'' As people jumped to their feet and ran to the exit with panicked expressions, Lucas sighed and cursed his Luck.


    He knows running means nothing, The monsters thate from the S-rank dungeon gate mostly are A, B, C and D rank. And from the notification he read earlier, he knows that the monster has left the dungeon and in a few seconds will enter Silva City.


    With his current, he could not hope to go against any of those monsters. But if he uses every disposal he has then maybe he could survive until the helpes.


    running away wasn''t even an option.


    Now left alone in the empty cafe, Lucas stood up and stretched. A heavy sigh escaped from his lips.


    "This is going to be… a wild, wild ride…"


    Now that he knew that he was — insanity! — going to act, Lucas had to decide how exactly and do it very fast.


    Sadly, the question was not as easy as it seemed.


    His life was tooplicated for anything to be easy…


    Not only was the answer to the question not too obvious but, what''s worse, he had mere seconds to make a decision, which was not nearly enough to think things through with any sort of rity.


    But what choice did he have? None at all...


    Lucas grimaced.


    ''Let''s speedrun our options.''


    The safest and most cowardly option was that there was not an option at all!!!


    Seeing that nothing came to his mind, Lucas left the cafe to face uing threats.
