A passing group of warriors who had just finished eliminating some monsters noticed the commotion and wandered over.
"What's going on? What's got everyone so happy?"
Brenda turned to them, her grin threatening to split her face.
"Alan! You won't believe—look who we brought back!"
She was just about to launch into an explanation when every single wristband in the vicinity began to beep simultaneously.
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.
The warriors glanced down at their screens.
Then a voice crackled from the devices—calm, professional, utterly unhurried:
[S-Class anomaly detected. S-Class anomaly detected Multiple S-class anomalies detected.]
[All available units in Sector Seven, report to designated positions.]
Isabelle's face went completely pale. She grabbed Cassius's arm, her voice barely above a whisper.
"S-Class? Darling—there are S-Class monsters here?!"
