Louis stood atop the mountain, gazing down at the group of Ice Armor Bears.
Sunlight shone on their gray-white armor, the hexagonal ice crystal scales reflecting blinding light.
The claws on their front paws were as sharp as cold iron, and blue flames occasionally flickered as the armor on their backs moved.
These Ice Armor Bears were massive, each growl like a thunderous quake shaking the earth.
No matter how you looked at them, these giants were anything but cute; rather, they were extremely fierce beings.
They roamed the snowy ground, searching for prey to fill their bellies.
Beside Louis stood two children—Lilia and Weir.
They were the only two out of the eight candidate knights who had activated their bloodlines and become Apprentice Knights.
Today, Louis decided to bring them to witness this hunt firsthand.
To liberate them from the dullness of daily training, as a reward for their efforts.
