Intro
Recovering from the clash with the dwarves, Ken and several Haylon classes head to an event on the 28th floor of a dead branch of the dungeon to prepare for the upcoming raid. While training, Ken’s grandparents assign him his first solo mission to assess and execute independently. During his reconnaissance and investigation, Ken encounters students from three other schools and realizes he isn’t the only top-tier damage dealer. Pendulum, Trusk, and the Royal Academy each have a standout student among their ranks. The stakes rise even higher when Ken discovers that one of these exceptional students is linked to his latest assassination target.
