City A (14th Zone):
Instructors Jacob, Betsy Lowe, and Daniel Stone stood in front of Jeremy Night, eyeing him from head to toe.
Jeremy observed them as well. He noticed their ranks had increased significantly, surpassing most other first-year students.
At that moment, Jacob's heart raced. He sensed Jeremy Night's strength was at Tier-2, surpassing the first rank. He was stunned by such rapid progress.
He didn't know what to say. Betsy and Daniel Stone were equally shocked, seeing Jeremy after such a long time.
"Instructor Jacob?"
"Betsy!"
"Daniel!"
"How are you all doing?" Jeremy asked.
The three gathered their thoughts.
"We've been doing fine. What about you? We heard you faced a beast invasion," Jacob said.
Jeremy was surprised by their knowledge. He noticed Betsy and Daniel exchanging knowing looks, aware of his recent whereabouts.
Sighing, Jeremy said, "It was a dangerous experience. Corrupted beasts invaded the city. We were fighting them inside the streets."
