It was a sudden and strange occurrence.
The ground shook so clearly that it could be felt, and the sky swayed unnaturally.
The phenomenon was something everyone in the Sky Garden could sense.

And it didn’t end there. From all directions, bone-only monsters started emerging.
The scattered candidates, each separated due to the task, could not help but feel confused and alarmed.

"What... what is this?! Skeletons suddenly coming out of the ground?!"
"Hm? Is this part of the task? This is suspicious."
"Tch, I was almost there... Hey, kid. I don’t know what’s going on, but hide behind me."

There were those who were startled and terrified by this unexpected turn of events, those who tried to calmly assess the situation with their arms crossed, and others who were irritated by the sudden interruption while trying to please a fairy.

Still, perhaps due to the fact that only the top 1% of the 10,000 candidates remained, they handled the attacking skeletons in various ways and showed different reactions.

[ "Attention! What is happening in the Sky Garden right now is a real situation! All candidates should immediately seek help from nearby event staff or gather with other candidates if possible! Repeat: what is happening in the Sky Garden right now..." ]

It was a small relief that, just a few minutes after the chaos began, a message was sent to all candidates through their watches.
The message stated that what was happening was not part of the task, but a real situation.
