The opponent that materialized at the fifth level was actually an Iron Bear, the first elite monster that Azrael had faced during his trial in Eonrift.
Unlike the level 7 Iron Bear he had previously encountered in Eonrift, this one was a level 13 class-rank monster, one level higher than him.
The Iron Bear stood almost five meters tall on its hind legs, and its deep yellow eyes radiated sheer brutality.
"As expected from the Slayers Academy. Just to enter their normal class, you have to defeat an elite monster that's also a level above you."
Those who wished to join the Slayers Academy had to pass five levels inside the Tower of Trials.
Considering that the opponent at the fifth level was not only an elite monster but also a level stronger than the challenger, it was no surprise that most people failed at this stage.
However, Azrael believed that truly powerful individuals wouldn't find much difficulty in clearing the fifth level.
