Eric found himself standing in the middle of the group of forty students assigned to Eleanor, the Master Archer. The two hundred students were distributed among five teachers, and they'd been grouped based on their blocks of residence, so Eric and the others had ended up together. Eleanor, also clad in beast gear and weapons, was busy talking about the basic rules of the hunting trip.

The armor was forged from the core of a basic-tier beast called Sand Gliders. It felt light and comfortable on his skin. Even though it was oversized when he first put it on, the armor shrank against him until it was a perfect fit. The system also explained that the sword was an intermediate-tier beast weapon forged from the cores of a mountain lion—a weapon with increased striking power and high defensive points.
