“They look like they’re ready to kill.”

Malik, peering down from the fortress wall, let out a low chuckle as he observed the siege team’s fierce expressions.

“That’s why young folks are terrifying.”

He couldn’t help but envy the raw vigor of their youthful passion.

The defense team numbered nine.

Starting with Hans, the Magic Department instructor.
Along with himself from the Swordsmanship Department, Beilin, and Rohan—both adept at stealth.
From the Magic Department: Shuen, Shartia, and Airi.
From the Healing Department: Yuria and Sophia.

The siege team also consisted of nine members.
