Core Hunt — Day 1 [1]
"Hey, drink some more."
Rikka carefully brought a cup of warm water to Emily's lips.
Emily took slow and steady sips from the cup before apologizing to everyone.
"I... I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused you guys. Because of me, you—"
"Hey, don't say that," Anna scoffed. "It's fine. We still have time. Rest your body, we'll call the teachers."
"No!" Emily instantly sat up. "Please don't. I don't want you guys to suffer during this practical session because of me."
While they were arguing, I just sat on a rock not too far from them.
According to Emily, she had seen a glimpse of the future, where [Hope], the current Rank-1 hero, would die.
And that too, on this very island.
I found it a bit weird.
'Why would a Rank-1 hero be here on this island?'
It was clear that this island was property of NOVA, so there shouldn't be any danger here, right?
