Volt let out a bitter laugh. "Teacher… honestly, I can't remember much else. The only thing burned into my mind is that face dropping down on me, and that freezing cold afterward. Being trapped like that… I still don't know how I'd react if I faced it again."
Alfred spoke calmly, "You need time to recover. Your case was special. The Man-Faced Demon Spider is extremely rare and powerful. Even at the hundred-year level, it can hunt thousand-year soul beasts. Dying to it is not shameful."
He paused, then added, "But remember this. The moment you encounter something beyond your ability, press the exit button immediately. This time, your real body was already put at risk."
Teacher… consoling someone?
The others were secretly stunned.
"Thank you, teacher," Volt said quietly.
Alfred turned to Lily. "You."
