"This forest we're currently in extends deep behind the Academy campus. There are many incredibly strong beasts who have even gained human-level consciousness living in the deepest parts.
But don't worry about them, you will only encounter the beasts you can handle at your current level. I made sure of that."
Kaiser continued his explanation, gesturing at the dense forest surrounding them.
"I specifically established Stormhold Academy in this location to serve a dual purpose. If one day any of those powerful beasts tried to break out of the forest and attack human settlements, the Academy would serve as the first line of defense. But that situation has never actually occurred in over a century."
His expression turned contemplative.
"The fate of these beasts is simply to become resources for humanity to exploit. They exist to make us stronger. That's the natural order now."
